Quick survey: do you know anyone from home here, or are you the only one who got brought from your world?

And is it weird to people from modern Japan to see Valentine's Day not being advertised in February? It was only really brought over after my death, but the last few years I've been around for it, you can't miss all the sales and promotions.

That's right. It's usually gifts of chocolate, at least where I'm from.

[don't give your dog boyfriend chocolate]

[hopticulture]

[she would NEVER.]

Chocolate can be really dangerous for some animals, but yeah it's usually giving a guy you like something sweet.

[thesettingsun]

People are animals where you're from?

[you're not like... trying to date a normal animal, are you...]

[hopticulture]

That's right, the society I'm from is made up of many different species of animal as opposed to other places where it seems populated by one kind of animal.

[thesettingsun]

It seems like that would get confusing. How do you remember who can have chocolate and who can't?

[hopticulture]

Most animals are pretty good about what we can and can't eat, and a lot of shops cater to certain kinds of animals.

I've seen bakeries that make canine-friendly chocolate, for example. Not sure what it's made of, so don't ask me, but where I'm from we're really good about alternative food.

[especially when you consider meat is illegal]

[thesettingsun]

Huh. That makes sense. I guess you'd keep good track of your own needs - kind of like allergies with humans?

[hopticulture]

I think so. Not to say everyone's diet is well accommodated for but...it's something everyone is trying to figure out and manage.

[again. the whole Meat Business...]

It seems easier in places where only one species seems intelligent enough to build a society. I know there are humans who see us rabbits as food or pets, right?

[thesettingsun]

Well, yes. But I think most people would reconsider if they ever met a rabbit that could talk.

[hopticulture]

It's all right, I was just saying how things seem, not that I'm looking for anyone to reconsider rabbits as a whole just because they talk.

I know it's complicated. This place sells meat pretty freely, after all.

[thesettingsun]

There aren't any animals that are below the level of people in your world? I guess that'd make meat pretty impossible to get, unless you get to the point where you can make it in a vat.
