Thinking about how smart a Euoplocephalus is and whether or not it would be a good mount and beast of burden for a rancher/farmer.

Pizza is a main course, but is also a pie. Therefore, I can eat pizza as my meal and have another pizza as my dessert.

When I need a left sock, there is none. When I don't need one, there is a surplus. I think the world is toying with me.

Sunny days are meant to be spent in a dark room surfing the net and watching series in netflix.

Bio
I am Searat
Half sea, Half rat, All Aqueous Rodent.
My role playing career is something i consider as a hobby of some sort but as to how long i have been role playing, I would say that i have three to four years under my belt. (Though most of the times I was role playing, they were nothing as serious as this and were more of a means to relieve stress with my friends or test out ideas that came to mind with them.)
As for my preferences to genres of role play, I would have no biases nor specific preferences to any genre and would be able to adapt to the genre as best I can when placed into it.
Some of my hobbies consist of: playing games, surfing the web, walking, bowling, darts, and cooking. I sometimes write and draw things but not as much to consider it to be a serious hobby.

Edward Marsh
Ed flinched as he felt the ground beneath him shake slightly. Was it an earthquake? His personal query was answered when he saw it. His jaw seemed to unhinge as he caught sight of, and stared blankly at, the creature that Asteria told him was known as 'gnome'. His brain promptly short-circuited as the creature spoke to him and began eating the offering they gave and explained to them how this deal worked between them.

Ed came back just as the gnome asked if they had something to start a fire with. "O-oh! Sorry. I-I kinda spaced out a bit there." He then scratches the back of his head out of embarrassment. "but-but I do get the gist of things. We don't mess with the...crypt..." Ed croaked out as he was still terrified at the thought of ghosts and zombies lying in wait at the slightest of transgressions. "And we get to stay without issue. A-a simple I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me rule." Ed by then would have excused himself to retrieve the Flint and Steel and Bundle of Sticks from the Grass Pack Roll and his Vine Belt before going out to gather some dried grass from the field before returning to the room where the gnome was and begin making a fire. While doing so he answers the gnomes questions and thoughts. "Well...uh...humans cook food cause it makes the food more digestible and kills off any nasty microorganisms that'd wreak havoc in their bodies. I should know, I'm a culinary arts student and my family owns a restaurant." He makes a spark and begins setting up the fire in the place. "As to what are we and why are we here? Well, that's a little more complicated...but one thing is for sure. Asteria and I were humans before but we died and got reincarnated into this world by someone." Ed intentionally left out the fact that It was actually the Demon King who brought them there.

Robert then looks to the lizard person as he lets the goat-like creature off his head and proceeded to pluck a flower off it. "Blackberries are...well, remember the small weird bumpy fruits I brought with me last time you accompanied me hunting? Like those but colored like your scales." Robert paused. "Which reminds me, I really ought to buy some groceries for the week." He muttered to himself before his scaly friend offered him the flower. He hesitated at first but if Mirik was able to eat it, then he was about 62% sure that it was safe for consumption.
Robert smiled at first as the sweet flavors of the petal spread over his tongue but then scrunched his face slightly as he tasted a hint of wet animal fur. It was a delightful experience nonetheless.
He observed the large reptilian humanoid stand and explain to the local priest that he was basically a shaman as well as a scout for his tribe to look for potential friends or discover new enemies. The young deputy smiled and patted the lizard person's shoulder...even if he had to tip-toe to reach said shoulder. "Good job, buddy." Congratulating him for mostly keeping to Common despite his inexperience using it. The Sarcogan war priest then looks down to him and asks him something. "Ah, no worries Mirik. Mayor Dustwallow should be in town hall working...or if our lucky stars are with us, we won't even need to look and she'll find us." Robert reassured him.

The young human smirked at Mirik's reactions to the innkeeper's actions. He'd have given more guidance to the lizard person but he was confident in the big guy's ability to adapt and learn from experience, as well as the lessons they'd practice for this day. With a subtle two thumbs up, he'd signal to the big guy that he was doing great.
The elf's smile was reassuring. "Not much, Mr. Veltras, but thank you for asking." The mortician had explained that Gramps' body was prepared and well-cared for in preparation for the wake and eventual burial. The deputy then returned a smile of his own to the elf, albeit a little bittersweet. "Thank you, I'll be sure to attend his wake tomorrow when I sign off from work." It was around this time that his lizardy friend revealed the gift he had prepared for this occasion.
Robert's eyes widened and jaw dropped as he saw the young goat-like creatures the Sarcogan presented. It wasn't any kind of goat he'd ever seen before in his life. This, considering that he also functioned as the town's hunter in the weekends part-time for over a season, was rather astounding. A completely new species. A scientific breakthrough. A moment of history remembered for eternity...and he was there to witness it with his own two eyes in the flesh! This totally beats sitting around in some musty guard room in Ambercrest wasting his youth away.
It took him a solid few moments of gawking at the creatures before he had managed to pick his jaw from the ground and regain his professional composure. It was then he heard the voice of both the town's doctor and the priest. The good doctor seemed to be more interested in conversing with Mirik, so he'd turn to face the priest and offer a reassuring smile that he was not a bother. "Relax, priest. We're just welcoming Mirik over here to the town." Rob uses his head to gesture to the lizard person squatting near him. "Would you like to meet him? He may look scary but he's friendly."
Griz is resting until the afternoon, so feel free to post without me until in game time is at that time.

Things were going great. Not only was Vera very excited to meet with the large lizard person but also the town's local mortician and accidental flirt seemed to just as easily warm-up to him. He could see from his peripherals that the looks the passing townsfolk were shifting away from fear and confusion, to wonder and curiosity. Hours upon hours of hard work performed by both the human and the lizard person was finally paying off. The pace of his heart finally slowed to a more reasonable pace. Robert smirked and gave the lizard person a playful nudge. "Well look at you, Mr. Popular. It isn't even noon yet and you're already making new friends." Robert finished with a light chuckle as he let them interact with one another for a while.
He then turns to face the purple-skinned mortician of Hillhaven and takes a more serious face as he discusses the matter of Mr. Thomas Vayne. Honestly? Robert didn't know Mr. Vayne that personally nor that long, but bonds were bonds. He was one of the very first people in town to welcome the young deputy when he arrived in town a season ago. Hell, he even baked him a pie for his 20th birthday. It was too sweet for his taste, but he would never forget that simple act of kindness Grandpa Tom showed to him. His passing hurt him just as much as any of the townsfolk. "Good morning, Mr. Veltras." A quick pang of heartache forced the young deputy to stop speaking for a brief moment. "I hope Gra...Mr. Vayne's body has been properly taken care of for his burial this weekend?"
Eastern Woods - Robert & Mirik
A lone figure walked around the thick foliage and wide bodies of trees while beams of morning sun pierced through where it could to illuminate the area in a warm glow. All was silent in the woodlands, sans for the gentle rustling of leaves caused by the wind or the distant songs of birds or insects to welcome the new day and the soft humming of the figure.
"Hmm Hmmm Hmm~𝅘𝅥𝅮" He hummed his song as he strode over a small babbling stream and nearly lost his footing as he stepped on a wet moss covered stone. "Oop. Close one." The young man then chuckled to himself at his apparent clumsiness before marching onwards.
One would think it strange that such a young man would be this deep in the woods at this time of day. Even more so that he did not bear any weapons on his person, but instead a couple of his homemade grilled barbecue chicken sandwiches wrapped in brown paper in one hand. And in the other, he held a worn and beaten leather bound notebook.
After a few more minutes of walking through the woods, he would stop at a considerably large clearing. The clearing had a few sizable rocks scattered here and there as well as a small pond where a couple of frogs had taken residence in; but other than that, it was mostly empty space. He scanned the area briefly before looking down at his watch and realize that he was a tad bit too early in meeting his friend.
Couldn't blame him though, today was a special day for the two of them. The man approached one of the larger stones in the clearing and sat himself down to patiently wait for his friend to arrive.
A fair day for sure, the warm sunlight soaked into his black skin. A near lumbering giant of the forest. The Sarcogan was aware of every step he took. Being this big one didn't want to squash useful critters or plants. Being very quiet for his size the nearly 9 foot reptile was very much at home in the forest.
Making a good pace through the thick brush he was certainly excited. Sporting a primitive stone spear and a stone axe and knife around his belt. A large leather backpack strapped to his shoulders, hand made beads of bone, crude glass, and pieces of gold hung from a necklace around his neck. An old gold arm band adorned with ancient writing and small jewels was clasped around his muscular left bicep.
He was on his way to a meeting with a new friend. Hopefully soon he would meet the rest of his village, they seemed nice when he was observing them but he was definitely new to them. Even his friend was scared when they first met. Soon he was able to pick up the scent of human with another strange smell. Food.
The food they made was very good and strange, something he was looking forward too. Arriving at the clearing the large scaly sarcogan paused for a moment to scan the surroundings for danger before quietly stepping out into the clearing. He quietly walked up to the side of the human and paused. They were so much smaller than him, their very existence a mystery. How could something that looked so fragile survive so well in this place?
"Friend!" He spoke with a deep and strange accent, but friendly.
The sudden voice caused the smaller human to get startled and nearly drop both the food and the notebook on the grassy ground. It seemed that he was too engrossed in taking in the sights, smells, and sounds of nature that he failed to notice the large lizard man that approached him. "Stars above, Mirik! You nearly caused me to jump out of my skin." The blonde haired human complained to the taller reptile person.
This wasn't the first time his scaly friend has done this. He knew Mirik was a hunter of his tribe. Hell, he even showed the human a few of the best hunting spots he currently knew. The only thing the human complained about was that for a person his size and distinctness, he was very skilled in moving without being detected.
After regaining his composure, the smile returned to his face. "You excited about today, big guy?" The human says as he hands one of the paper wrapped sandwiches to the lizard man.
Mirik couldn't help but give a deep chuckle as his friend reacted to him. Laughing was also new to him, an emotion that the human shared while making horrible attempts at jokes a few days earlier. Mirik answered with an over exaggerated nod. Taking the small portion of food from the human he smelled it. After visibly drooling for a moment, he quickly ate it. Paper and all.
“Mirik haaave gi-gift fa fa fa for lead er.” trying to speak their language was always slow going. At least he was learning fast while trying to tell him he had a gift for his leader. “When go?” he asked his tail moving back and forth giving away his excitement from the otherwise stoick form.
Robert deadpanned as he watched Mirik consume the sandwich without even removing the paper wraps. He'll have to teach him that he wasn't supposed to eat the paper, but that lesson was for another day. "Right after we finish a quick review of basic etiquette. That means how to behave in town, buddy." Robert nods as he opens the notebook he brought and recited the questions for Mirik to answer.
"You are walking down the street and see someone you know. How do you act?"
Taking a moment to listen and try to remember what the man was trying to say, a few of them he still did not know. After a few more moments of tail slowly wagging and head bobbing from side to side. Something one would see a dog do when it hears an unfamiliar sound. “Ssssay Hell hell-ello, sssssmiiiillle an wafe.” the lizard gave the human a very unsettling sharp toothy grin and wide eyes while also waving his big hand at him.
Learning these customs and courtesies was very entertaining for the big guy. Even if he was somewhat aware that he was overdoing it. Mirik had spent some time watching these humans build their homes and village from the shadows and was at least mildly aware of what was appropriate. This however made his human friend react in strange ways and he was trying to figure out why.
To most people, the display would have been unnerving to see the lizardman smile. But to the human, it was amusing."Good. Now what do you say when you ask for something...AND what do you say afterwards?" Robert asked while he pulled out a pencil from his vest and jots down a note.
“Prease an thhhhhink ya.” he almost looked serious for a moment, obviously it took him a bit longer to remember that last one. “Go now?” he asked again, the excitement although disappearing for a few moments was now back in full swing.
"Patience is a virtue, buddy. One last question. What do you do if you get mad or upset?" A rather simple question but an important one. It was a sad reality that Mirik could be ostracized or maybe even discriminated due to his intimidating appearance. So Robert taught the lizard man a method to keep his cool and see him in a more civilized light. Help others see what he sees Mirik as, a friend.
Mirik shifted his weight for a moment looking around the small meadow. “Ssssay Ssssarrray an leaf.” a simple gesture, as his friend explained it. Humans can be very emotional and sometimes act without thinking when afraid. Just like VarKann during a thunderstorm.
With a quick but confident nod, Robert jots down one final note before tucking away the pencil. "And we're done. Come on, Mirik. It's high time the mayor and the townsfolk meet you." He says while gesturing to the tall lizard man to follow him back to town.
With another over exaggerated nod he quickly checked his surroundings and his backpack. He had to make sure that the gifts he had for them were still safe after all. With that final check the Sarcogan quickly fellin step behind Robbie still holding his spear in his hand but using it more as a walking stick than anything.
Hillhaven Main Road - Robert, Mirik, Vera
Soon the duo would be walking through the main road of Hillhaven. A number of the passing townsfolk were already giving them looks varying from amusement to outright fear.
Robert's heart beat faster than a pompadour being chased by a pair of wooly raptors. He was so unsure of the result of Mirik's debut in town. He needed something or someone to establish that Mirik was a friend. Just as Robert finished the thought he saw a familiar former knight exit her place of residence and business. A godsend.
"Good morning, Ms.Byrnfield! Have you met my good friend, Mirik." Robert said boisterously before presenting the two meter tall lizard person to her.
