Today I reinforced the tunnel! It's getting big, even though I haven't found anything besides rocks yet!

But this has made me wonder- where are the animals of this place? I remember that sometimes when I helped Simon dig we would find them. They were outside back on the other Earth too. I see dogs and cats occasionally, but nothing else.

I wonder what happened to them all.

I wonder about that too! Especially the frogs!!

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

I do not know what frogs are but I wonder if they have them anywhere!

[perkyscience.livejournal.com]

Frogs are amphibians! They live on both water and land! Well, when they're just little tadpoles, they swim around in the water, and then they grow legs, and can move to land! They look like this (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/08/images/070830-poison-frog.jpg)!

I tried looking for them, but I haven't found any! It's very strange, because even though some of them are toxic and dangerous, frogs are actually very important! Not only are they used for food, but some frog skins can even heal burns and cure certain diseases!

Oh. I would want them around, then!

gau miss animals.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

I miss them too.

[uwaoooo.livejournal.com]

too crowded here, no animals.

it not right.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

Where I came from it was mostly animals, except for a few places. Someone said that all the animals are in one place, but I wonder if they're happy there.

[uwaoooo.livejournal.com]

gau from place with many animals too. not like here.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

Animals like to be outside, right? I hope they're somewhere nice.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Uh, I'm gonna hazard a guess and say the nuclear apocalypse did it.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

Put there's still meat and milk. Where does that come from, if not animals?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Yeah but if there aren't a lot of them they'd sort of be like a precious commodity right? They're probably just concentrated in one area since I bet there are more scientists than farmers around here.

Besides I think the fast food chains perfected the art of manufactured food long before Babylon could've hoped to bring that milkshake to the yard.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

I wonder where that one area is then.

... What is a 'fast food'? And what do they have to do with chains?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Ask 'em.

A fast food chain is a revolutionary system covering all the land in my reality which slaughters animals en masse and provides its people with the deep-fried remains of their carcasses at obscenely low prices. It's better than regular meat 'cause it comes with the added promise of high blood pressure, stroke and death. Good god what I wouldn't give for a Big Mac right now.

Look the point is that you can't trust your tastebuds to tell you whether you're eating real food, sweetheart.

The lack of flora and fauna is disturbing. Perhaps in the way that I remember it from my world. It's one of the outcomes of war. We should get some plants for our apartment.

Oh yes, and may I see your tunnel? Maybe I can help.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

On the earth I came on we had a war for a long long time, but we still had many animals. People say that it's because of the 'nuclear' parts of the war here, but I don't know what that is. I would like some plants, though!

Alright! I can show you after you come home.

[crusaded.livejournal.com]

I see, so you've been through a war as well, Miss Nia?

I'd be happy to explain to you what that means. Perhaps we can have a talk over dinner.

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

Yes. My father was fighting against the humans to keep them underground, and I helped Simon defeat him.

I would like that.

[crusaded.livejournal.com]

I would like to hear about it. I look forward to it.

[asinlessera.livejournal.com]

It is mostly dogs and cats, isn't it? Ah, but they're so cute ...

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

But what of the birds and the fish and the hippos and the camels and the raccoons?

[asinlessera.livejournal.com]

I suppose they didn't survive ...

[andbelieve.livejournal.com]

But they have to be somewhere!

[asinlessera.livejournal.com]

I think it's like that man up there said ...!
