[Loosha has been in a bit of a down mood ever since the carnival began. First, her friends were gone and she was lonely. Then, Luke came back with half his hand missing and a really sullen attitude that she just can't seem to shake him out of. Of course, she hasn't tried everything yet. And so that's what she's setting out to do: Try Everything.

Of course, she doesn't know everything that can make humans happy, so she's trundled out into town to do some people-watching. She figures there's no harm in doing so since everyone already saw her at that party. It's research!

So, what are you up to, Mayfield? Whatever it may be, this stories-tall dinosaur-manatee-seal-walrus-thing is very curious and is not being subtle about it.]

[The moment before Clover saw a giant dinosaur-walrus-thing staring at her, she was pondering whether to throw a rock at a nearby flock of birds or not. Sure, they're just drones, but it feels wrong, you know?

Then, the moment after that, she's just staring back and pondering if she should run away or try to get a picture first, because holy shit is that Nessie?]

[totally get a camera gurl, you're gonna be so rich. ... Although, maybe not. Who would you even send the pictures to?

Loosha doesn't want to disturb the birds, so she stays put. She does see you there, though.]

(Hi.)

[Well, you know. She'd get back home, send the pictures to a tabloid and... get... rich. TOTALLY.

Anyway, with all the animals around town that chat people up like normal and the odd animal who is actually a person somehow, Clover doesn't bother to pretend she doesn't understand.]

... What, that's all ya have to say? "Hi"? D'ya... just go up to random people and greet 'em?

[Oh, she understood! Loosha's demeanor seems to brighten a bit, although she certainly hopes she didn't come off as rude somehow, so her response is a bit flustered.]

(Oh... not really. Well, most humans don't understand, so I just say a little.)

[Most humans don't--

Oh.

Suddenly Clover looks a little ill. She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out.]

(What's wrong?)

[She replies with gritted teeth and in a hushed tone.] Look, I'm not supposed to talk to ya.

[Loosha blinks, and then looks over her shoulder, and the other side. Are they being watched? No... not really. She looks back, puzzled.]

(Why?)

People aren't supposed to be able to talk to... well, y'know. Not-people.

(Huh? Is there a rule?)

[all this time she thought she was staying hidden in the lake for her own safety, not theirs.]

No, it's just... it ain't normal, see?
