@everyone | dated to when the creatures started showing up

Hey, so - head's up. Not sure what's going on here, but if anyone sees a weird looking animal, four legs, two little arms coming out of the chest?

Watch your wallet.

I'm serious. Those things steal your credits - or whatever you're using as currency here. No clue how they do it. I mean, they're not dangerous, they're just irritating.

They're from our neck of the universe. I think humans call them "shifty-looking cows".

That's it. PSA from the milky way.

SPACE cow. space

[princessvegas]

Do you milk them??

[earthborn]

What? No. Typically I get by on just not shooting them.

Do you want to milk them?

[princessvegas]

No. But normally you can milk a cow. Maybe that's why they're named that. For milk reasons.

[earthborn]

[She had... genuinely never considered that.]

I've never considered that.

[And she never wants to consider it again.]

Look, if you wanna figure this out, be my guest. As far as I know, they were probably named by some random xeno-biologist that thought they were funny. Just don't blame me when anything you got in your pockets isn't there when you leave.

[princessvegas]

I'll pass. I got no interest in space critters. I was just pointing out that they can probably be milked.

[thearchangel]

... Milk?

[princessvegas]

Yeah. Milk comes from cows. Well, most milk, anyway.

[thearchangel]

[And thanks to Nadine...]

You get a liquid.

From an animal.

[princessvegas]

Yes? That's what dairy is. What, are you a vegan?

[thearchangel]

Uh, no. Non-human, actually.

[princessvegas]

And your... species? doesn't use "animal" products?

Don't get touchy, I just don't know what you are or what your people consider to be animals.

[thearchangel]

No, we do.

But the 'milk' thing is uh. That's new.

[princessvegas]

Y'all don't know what milk is? Like, any kinda milk? How do mamas feed their babies where you're from?

[thearchangel]

Food?

It probably depends on the species on what kind, specifically. I'm not an anthropologist... there's a lot of species in the Milky Way.
