upsettin update regardin the parasite the affected lusus hasnt been actin right since wwe neutralized the parasite and removved it from her wwe took her back in for further testin to see if there wwas anything else left behind but so far it really just seems that most a the parasites effects on the body are hormonal theres no real symptoms a disease or malaise outside a the aggression and behavvioral issues wwere hopin that she just needs time for the time bein wwe are just tryin to keep her sedated enough to not be a danger to herself and others but wwere considerin some more longer-term solutions just in case she doesnt calm dowwn anytime soon
have you checked for any neurolog1cal degradat1on or 1njury to the spec1f1c hormonal glands
update on the parasite situation after a thorough search a our databases it does indeed seem like the parasite wwe discovvered really is undocumented wwevve been tryin to sniff out the source and method a implantation and do cursory checks on the other beasts in our care that could potentially be host to a similar parasite wwe are checkin beasts that havve recent unexplained physical or mental changes as wwell as beasts wwith similar habits and diets to the affected lusus just in case but as it stands it seems like it wwas just the one biologically it does not havve many similarities at all to the parasites im more familiar wwith so its vvery likely wwe really did stumble upon something neww kinda excitin aint it
D --> That is e%citing D --> Will you get to name it?
i believve so though frankly ivve nevver been in this position before so im a bit at a loss on wwhat to evven call it i wwant to study it further before i jump the gun and name it something ill-fittin
၄⋆၃ oh how intriguing shout pole im exxited to see how this turns out
D --> That is smart D --> Intelligent D --> And wise D --> Tell us what you decide
oh th1s 1s actually k1nda really exc1t1ng to learn about
honestly i might be the only person on beforus doin anything wworth payin attention to ill keep evveryone updated as things devvelop
Q: "do you knoww anything about your astrological chart?" A: not at all and i think astrology is embarrassingly stupid
Q: "WWhat's a creature you feel doesn't get enough credit for the role it plays in its ecosystem?" A: might be a basic answwer but mosquitos not only are they an important food source for many other creatures but theyre actually pollinators as wwell in fact they are the primary pollinators for certain species a orchids zz:) the ecological devvastation that wwould occur if mosquito populations suddenly dwwindled wwould be immeasurable
Q: "shmeble smorble smopr?" A: man okay
wwaitin to hear back from another lab on something bit bored ask me things
honestly i hope i nevver havve to meet my descendant im not interested in gettin a glimpse a howw my name is goin to be ruined after i pass on i havve been so meticulous about craftin wwhat im hopin is goin to be my legacy and i think i wwould havve to rise from the gravve to kill him if he spoiled it somehoww
people call me defeatist i call myself selectivve about wwhat i put my energy into
im competitivve in a lot a wways but i havve nevver enjoyed vvyin for someones attention wwhy choose someone wwho isnt goin to choose you back
yknoww wwhat actually yap awway competin for a relationship might come from a place a pride (this part makes sense to me) but wwhy do you think a lack a self esteem could cause it
S0me0ne with l0w self esteem might simply struggle t0 see that they deserve better
someone flipfloppin betwween bein egotistical and self deprecatin is probably the perfect recipe then to be pulled around in that wway
Like the eg0tistical pers0n and the self deprecating pers0n can b0th be c0urting the same pers0n
oh yeah absolutely wwhich do you think has a higher success rate my bet is on the egotistical one
actually in the vvein a orphanin maybe this is a problematic stance to take since i literally run a conservvation and rehabilitation sanctuary but honestly i dont think its the wworst thing in the wworld for a beast to be killed literally nothin wwrong wwith farmin and huntin honestly the kneejerk reaction many beforans tend to havve about it does more harm than the farmin and huntin itself and i think that stance can coexist wwith my genuine lovve for all creatures big and small wwe need to remember that wwe are also part a nature yknoww idk its just silly to me to get up in arms about it and its kind a baffling to me wwhen people assume im goin to be some mega vvegan hippie about it
⚇ Glad to see some Beforan motherfuckers have sense. ⚇
despite them bein occupationally lusus hunters i think ivve decided i prefer orphaner dualscars to their non-titled counterparts
rampagin lusus update number twwo definitely some kind a parasite
(^･o･^)ﾉ < DO YOU THINK IT CAN SPURREAD TO TROLLS????????? #DONTASK
D --> I hope that you are able to catch it D --> Let me know if you require assistance D --> You may not be a lesserb100d, but Trotswor% can still offer assistance
wwe cant be sure yet i actually dont think ivve evver encountered one like this before wwhich is a little bit wworryin but i am goin to do some more research and figure out wwhat the hell it evven is
thank you wwe should havve it handled for noww but ill let you knoww if that changes
oh yeah update on the rampagin lusus issue wwe had her take a little nap and did a cursory medical check up wwe found nothin out a the ordinary aside from elevvated stress hormones so wwe returned her to an enclosure hopin that she wwould wwake up and be her normal self again howwevver she almost immediately got vviolent upon wwakin up again more sedativve wwas administered and she wwas movved to our vveterinary lab for a more thorough examination ill update again wwhen wwe learn more i suppose but for noww im leavvin the case in the hands a my capable employees and finally gettin some fuckin sleep
maybe its got rabies.
though not impossible its exceedinly rare for a beast a this species to get rabies still wwe havve not ruled it out completely wwe wwill be keepin an eye out for symptoms once she wwakes again but for the time bein my lab techs wwill be runnin a plethora a tests to see if its any a the more likely suspects like parasites and bacterial illnesses
i joke. if it was rabies itd probably have the usual mouth foam. hope you figure out whatevers up with your poor beastie.
officially wwary a not one but twwo olivves in my notifications noww
got wwoken up because apparently one a the megafauna lusii in our care just started wwreckin literally evverything despite prevviously bein one a the most docile ones wwe had you do not wwant to knoww howw much fuckin sedativve wwe needed to get her to stop fuckin up the other enclosures and take a wwell-needed nap ugh this is goin to havve to be a wwhole ass invvestigation to figure out wwhat the actual hell set her off just wwhat i needed
(^・ω・^) < OMG!!! FLEASE, GO AHEAD AND TELL US MORE! I'M ALL EARS!!!
im back to despisin children one a them called me safari boy wwhile i wwas givvin an ecological presentation to a vvisitin class and i think it justifies all a my bitchiness
I'm Afraid They " Got Your Ass ". #sympathetic
for fuckin real consider my ass sufficiently gotten i didnt evven havve a good response i just had to movve on and accept that i wwas safari boy noww
for as much as i enjoy gettin to be useful it really is the ampora curse to alwways be needed and nevver wwanted sigh
Q: "are you a good dancer?" A: i learned some a the more formal dances wwhen i wwas younger and i think im halfwway decent at those though you wwouldnt catch me ballroom dancin at any evvent that doesnt activvely encourage formal dance and though i wwas nevver one for more casual partyin i do think that i can cut a rug pretty wwell despite my lack a experience i dance a decent amount in privvate mostly wwhile gettin ready for the night in my ablution block though if inebriated enough i evven shake tail wwith good company its been a long wwhile since ivve gone out wwith friends though im far too busy noww
Q: "wwhat is your opinion on rat lusii?" A: do i havve to havve an opinion on evvery indivvidual beast species i mean look wwhat i wwill say is that theyre smart as fuck easily just as trainable as barkbeasts if not more wwhich doesnt make them much a a hassle to handle theyre clean too and so long as you understand their social structures theyre easy enough to keep together makes it easier than more solitary lusii wwho need their owwn indivvidual enclosures so idk theyre far from the wworst id evven say i like em wwell enough
Q: "i meant ovver coolscar" A: i knoww wwhat you meant but a title is a title not a name aint wweird to wwant people to call me by my name not like im gonna cheww off someones head for callin me zoologer coolscar though idk
