Is anyone interested in helping me and my roommate break open a large boulder?

It says 'hollow inside'. Can confirm it sounds hollow. Out in Dogtown.

That’s great! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see who comes.

[lobster_bib]

What sort of non-apocalyptic thing do you want?

[abrightboy]

…What do you mean?

[lobster_bib]

For your gift. Your housewarming gift?

[abrightboy]

Oh! I’ve never had a housewarming before. What do people usually get?

[lobster_bib]

[Hearing any enthusiasm from Malcolm is such a departure from the last time he saw him and he can't help grin a little]

Well, the one time I had one, my friends brought me a lot of pot and a microwave. I'm not sure I could get either here.

Maybe a decoration?

[abrightboy]

Yeah! Neal likes art!

[lobster_bib]

I get the feeling his tastes are a little more posh than mine are but I'll do my best.

[abrightboy]

But he’s a nice person so he’ll appreciate the sentiment behind whatever you choose.

[lobster_bib]

Give me a prompt. What's his favorite color? Or animal?

[abrightboy]

Um. He likes dogs. And blue.

[lobster_bib]

[Well guess who's getting a cheeky gift now? Yup they're getting a painting of a blue dog.]

And yours?

[abrightboy]

Umm...

[Don't say murder don't say murder don't say murder.]

I like birds? And... red? Is that macabre? I like a lot of colours.

[lobster_bib]

Macabre? [You just gave yourself away, Malcolm. Jesus doesn't laugh at people but that is funny.] Red's a good color. I assume you like the birds to be alive.

[abrightboy]

Of course alive. What did birds ever do to anyone?

I have a parakeet back home.

[lobster_bib]

I've had to fight more than one vulture, that's all I'm saying.

[abrightboy]

They only eat dead people. Eyes first because they're soft.

[lobster_bib]

Well not just people.

[abrightboy]

But just dead.

[lobster_bib]

Okay, okay, yes. Just dead. Sometimes they follow a thing before it dies. Comes in handy.

[abrightboy]

Were you dying?

[lobster_bib]

More like we were tracking the same deer? Buzzards are pushy when they're hungry.

[abrightboy]

You shouldn’t eat carrion. We don’t have a vulture’s constitution. [He’s teasing.]

[lobster_bib]

[He grins] I've tested this theory. It turns out we do if you can get to it before it's cold. You're welcome.

[abrightboy]

Well. If it’s still warm, it’s just meat.
