Day 39: Intercom, Evening

The Head Doctor seemed a little rushed as he spoke on the intercom, not taking as much pleasure as he usually did in describing the delicious food that would soon be served.

"Hello, everyone! Tonight is turkey night, which means turkey breast in a great turkey gravy with some nice turkey sides: peas, herb potatoes, a small garden salad, and for dessert, a slice of pumpkin pie. We of course have vegetarian substitutes available, as well as our usual assortment of drinks.

"...I believe that's it! I'll talk to you soon!"

The intercom clicked off abruptly.

"Uh...you're talking about an animal with a name that suggests a combination of at least three different genera, none of whom can interbreed," Shinichi said, burying his face in his arms. God. Why did he even try? "A 'saber-tooth moose-lion' is a biological impossibility, no matter how cute it is when it's little."

Sokka made a face, and it wasn't one that said he understood exactly what his roommate had been saying. He did, however, get the "impossibility" stuff there at the end. "Hey, unless you've had one camping out on your head while its mom's trying to flatten you into the ground, don't go telling me what's impossible and what's not," he snapped. That had been a traumatic experience!

After a little more thought, Sokka was able to decipher some more of what Shinichi had said earlier. "And they can too be combined! Sure there's just bears and lions and other stuff around, but they're pretty plain. So are other things, but they're not plain plain. Like... there's all kinds of bears! Armadillo bears, platypus bears, gopher bears..." He listed off on his fingers.
