ah i rlly miss this,,

Six planned on showing Olys the fur-bug that she had caught, but the direwolf seemed to have vanished. Muttering to herself, she dropped the cage unceremoniously on a stump and began to talk to her pet phantoms with no one else to confide her feelings of victory and promise to.

"I know there's a buncha other animals here, in this place. They wanna catch the critters here too. But they're gonna regret not teamin' up with me and Olys, 'cause I'm on my way to profit! I've already caught one. Soon, I'll have a whole lotta these weird things, plus a ton of others, and the masses'll flock to see 'em all. We'll pave paradise and put up a parking lot be rich offa what they pay to see 'em! We could use their parts, too, for stuff like medicine.. technological advancements, that sorta fancy thing... but more importantly, they're all gonna know my name! Six, Pioneer of ...Six Island! Oh, and Olys'll fit in somewhere, too. I guess."

Her speech finished, Six took off her top hat and bowed with a flourish. The phantoms all clapped. The fur-bug trembled from inside the cage.

Six squinted at the thing. "Can ya understand what I'm sayin' or somethin'? Or am I just that intimidatin' to you?"

It did not answer.

"Can ya speak?" Six demanded. "This's important, ya know. For profit'n all. A talkin' fur-bug, now that's what the people would pay to see."

The thing stayed quiet.

"Hey! C'mon! You like blackberries, dontcha? I'll give ya one if ya speak..."

"Birdie," the fur-bug murmured. "My name is Birdie.. a-and I'm a lisitsa. Could you please let me ou--"

"Ha! Well, would ya look at that! A talkin' animal! That's just great..." Six thought for a moment. "Uh.. ya had a name, didntcha? Well, whatever. I don't remember it, so you're One 'til I think of somethin' better." Six picked up the cage and moved it into the third, empty tent, zipping it close after the fur-bug was inside.

Alone in the dark, Birdie was too afraid to ask for the promised blackberry.
