[ she's seated in a recliner, legs up and arms around her knees.

she splits her attention between those who are INJURED and one of the greatest movie of the early 2000s. ]

Green is a different color for an ogre.

[riverbeans]

[dw about it. charles is bandaged up and smelling like flowers for some reason.]

What colour are ogres where you're from?

[ravenry]

[ she is worrying about it! she is eyeing him closely. she sniffs and scoots a little closer to him because flowers.... ]

Blue or black in the stories I hear. I haven't seen one before.

[ so green may as well happen. ]

[riverbeans]

[shouxue...]

I see, I see. We only have... ogre eagles where I'm from? Never seen one myself, though.

[ravenry]

Eagles?

[ she tries to picture this. ]

Anything I imagine is.... unpleasant.

[riverbeans]

I've heard they're quite the sight, actually. Apparently rainbow-coloured?

[ravenry]

[ rainbow?

:o

:o :o :o :o

she scoots closer. ]

I take it back. These eagles are trying to give ogres a new name.

[riverbeans]

[shouxue!!!]

Haha, you think so?

[ravenry]

Why else would they be called ogre and not after another creature? Dragon eagle. Qilin eagle.

[riverbeans]

Ohhh, that's true. You've got a point there. [a beat] What's a Qilin?

[barriermaddened]

Are there any similarities between the ogres you know and this one?

[ravenry]

They're usually bigger. Taller.

[barriermaddened]

Ah, I see. This one doesn't seem harmful. If anything, seems more...misanthropic than anything else.

[She can kind of sympathize with that, truthfully]

I hope the ones from your world are like that, instead of dangerous.

[ravenry]

The stories say different things. I've never met one before, so your hope is as good as any.

[ she looks up at the screen. ]

He looks like he's trying.

[barriermaddened]

...with people like the majority of those fairytale creatures hassling him, I too would try hard to isolate myself.

[Apparently Sora does not approve of Donkey]

[ravenry]

They look like they know each other well. It may be a nuisance, but if Shrek didn't like it, I'm sure he'd do something about it.

[barriermaddened]

That is true.

[Sora munches on popcorn, offering Shouxue some]

Perhaps we'll meet ogres in some other planet. Space has proven to have no boundaries when it comes to what's possible and impossible. There might be...a Shrek planet somewhere.

[Knowing the mods, there really is a nonzero chance. We aaaaall know it]

[ravenry]

[ she will not refuse popcorn.

she isn't the most enthused by this idea, but it's fine... ]

I am not going to go out of my way to meet ogres, but I won't resist it either.

[barriermaddened]

[Sora smiles]

What are ogres like, in the tales you have heard before? In terms of temperament and likelihood of attacking you.

[Probably not unexpected Sora would focus on practical things even when it's about myths]

[messy]

What other color would they be?

[passes her the popcorn.]

[ravenry]

Blue or black.

[ she will never say no to delicious food. chomp. ]

Do you only know green?

[messy]

It's the first color that comes to mind. [POP CULTURE WILL DO THAT TO YOU. she gazes at the screen.] Huh. Maybe there's an alternate universe where Shrek is blue, like the ogres in your world.

[ravenry]

[ she looks at the screen. ]

I don't think I like that image.

[ blue shrek.... ]

[messy]

Like a giant smurf with more fart jokes...

[ravenry]

... Is a smurf unpleasant to look at?
