out of curiosity: would you pay to cuddle or nap with a furry animal, if you had the option? if you didn't have to do any cleanup and you're assured they won't have rabies or anything like that.

i've met enough people who seem to want physical comfort of this type, so i thought i might ask.

[ this is a sincere enquiry, please respect his post! ]

i have both a large dog and a number of small rabbits. looks like i've got market demand covered.

you don't like animals?

[voidbound]

You do. It'll be a booming business, so make sure you only work as much as you can handle.

And I don't feel one way or another about them. I get their usefulness, but that's about it. Don't let that dissuade you, though. I'm just a single customer among many.

[ this is a disturbingly level response, is this person perhaps... normal??? ]

thank you for thinking of my well-being, i appreciate the concern.

customer implies some interest in the service, then? do you have a favorite animal?

[voidbound]

I don't.

[ and if tezca comes in saying something stupid about jaguars he's going to get a headache. ]

But I might visit to see how you run it. They're familiars, right?

[shadowban]

[ mr tezca already said something about jaguars and it was surprisingly normal! to megumi, anyway. ]

they are. i think many people here have them, so i'm surprised but also relieved i don't have to explain too much about them.

but really, you don't have a favorite animal? no preferences?

[voidbound]

None.

[ maybe he did, once upon a time. not anymore, though. ]

I don't interact with animals much.

[shadowban]

ah. i understand.

[ not really, but that's rude to say. ]

if not animals, then what about people? do you like being around people?

[voidbound]

I’d prefer an animal over a human.
