What animals live in these woods? Large game?

Comments

[molotov]

I wished for them, I built their habitat, and I care for them. They are mine.

[hvic]

Then you can wish for more.

[molotov]

You can wish for food. That is easier and comes with significantly less pain for you.

[hvic]

Your threats are meaningless to me.

[ Oh, you~ ]

[molotov]

I am just warning you. I am not the only one who will come after you.

[hvic]

And who else cares about these animals?

[molotov]

My husband, my student, my friends. The bears have been here for much longer than you have, it seems.

[hvic]

It means nothing to me how long they have been here.

[molotov]

Their seniority means that their well-being is far more important to a number of people than yours is. And if you do not wish to find yourself in a magical jail cell, being killed over and over, you will leave them alone.

[hvic]

The punishment for hunting is much stricter in this world than back home.

[ Fuck your bears. ]

[molotov]

The punishment for hunting my bears is severe in any world.

[hvic]

So I see.

[molotov]

Do not make things any harder on yourself than they need to be. This world is a bad place to have enemies.

[hvic]

I am not looking to make enemies. I am looking for a sufficient meal.

[molotov]

You are looking for entertainment. I already told you how to get a meal.

[hvic]

And I already told you no.

[molotov]

Then you cannot be indignant when you get thrown into the prison cells. Prison cells which, by the way, neutralize any powers you might have.

[hvic]

[ A pause. ]

Is that technology common here?

[molotov]

The prison cells do that, I know. And the entire Dead Zone. Other people might have built things with the technology, I really would not know. I do not have to rely on magic or superpowers or whatever else.

[hvic]

Hm. I see.

[ She'll have some questions on that later, yep. ]

[molotov]

Touch my bears and see it firsthand. Your life here will not be a pleasant one if you are in prison for feeding on living creatures without permission.

[hvic]

You have made your point clear on several occasions.

[molotov]

Then I suppose you only have yourself to blame if you do not heed it.

[hvic]

As I am aware.

[molotov]

Wonderful. This discussion is over.

[And... she closes her journal. Because she's mature.]
