Yeah...doing my best with that. [ but damn people make it a little harder??? ] Being prepared sounds great in theory, but in practice...makes you wonder if we even can.
[Yes, they do. This is why he has a preference for things.]
I think the best preparation for surprises is to not be prepared at all. Not exactly. Then no matter what happens, you'll be in a position to move forward rather than backtrack.
[ he's sort of just staring at t-chan, not really focused on him but looking in that direction while he mulls over the statement. ]
Are you not? [ the question is a little flat, like he wouldn't be surprised if that's the case given the weird amount of non-humans running around here now. ] You can be as resilient as possible and still have things you can't come back from, man. Instead, you adapt to live around it.
[ so to him, sometimes moving forward is not the same as recovering from an occurence of some kind. ]
[ LITERALLY WHY DON'T YOU FUCKS ANSWER HIM HE'S GONNA EXPIRE. ]
Agree to disagree. [ to the fact that they're saying the same thing. it's close, but there's a difference in jonas's mind that he's not really saying at the moment. ]
But isn't the question if the animal or the human is the same if they have to adapt into something else?
Thinks about Akira’s tirade about demons getting new bodies.]
No, I don’t believe that changes anything. Unless you are talking about the assimilation of different species to create a new one which is very difficult except when one is perhaps alien and can do so with a form built for it or a chance of viable offspring… which will also need to be able to reproduce.
I'm not from a place aliens are a thing. Or at least I don't think so. [ but that seems to be enough of an answer. ] Then...we'll have to see how resilient everyone here turns out to be.
Sounds pretty hectic. I've never even had pets in my own house. [ and definitely not something like t-chan. ] Are they. Uh. All kind of exotic like he is...?
That is still kind of a lot. [ he says, sometimes dealing with the hectic chaos of taking care of himself. he watches t-chan wander closer and his expression does even out to something a little softer though. right. okay. ]
I've never put much thought into it. [ what's it like having pets. ] Conditions weren't...really the best for raising animals. And most people I knew probably had cats or dogs or fish. Unless you were a farmer or something.

That's...probably a good thing. Makes it a little easier to go with whatever happens next.

What about you, Mr. Jonas? Are you good with surprises?

I believe we're in for a lot of surprises here, so you should prepare.

What do you mean? You are human, aren't you, Mr. Jonas? After nature, they are the most resilient of all.

[Why doesn't he answer the first question. Jonas is surrounded by weirdos.]
Adapting leads to resilience. Animals do it all the time. They adapt, they survive, they live on and pass their genes to the next generation.

[Thanks...........TWEWY composer(?). The composer is Ryo.
He pinches Jonas's nose again. Just because, like... intrusive thoughts.]
no subject
anyway, d is pinching his nose and this time there's a squawk-like noise and he's trying to pull his ear just a little to get him to let go. ]
Why the nose?!
no subject
[Don't pull the ear!! He will let go of the nose to push the hand away. UNFORTUNATELY, T-CHAN PERKS UP AND GROWLS PROTECTIVELY.]
no subject
Why is he growling when you started it!?
no subject
You'll have to excuse him. He is protective of me.
no subject
Yeah, I see that. [ god. ] ...where'd you even find him anyway?
no subject
D smiles some.]
He was trying to eat me, but I managed to convince him to stay with me in the shop.
no subject
The shop?
no subject
Yes, my grandfather's pet shop. I tended to it while he was away for a time, but now it is mine to run.

no subject
It isn't as bad as you think. The only hectic part is caring for young ones.
[Babies... He glances at T-chan, reaching out to beckon with a hand. When T-chan comes into range, he pets T-chan reassuringly.]
We have any animal you may desire, Mr. Jonas.
