A Day at the Zoo

Posted on July 9, 2002 in Uncategorized

Day 271, Year 546 of the Ascendancy


Today, as I walked through Town Square, I noticed three young
rockodiles trapped on Mai’s Lawn. I asked around, but nobody seemed to
know where the lizards had come from.

Since I wasn’t doing anything else at the momment,
I decided to grab a few more young rocks from the beaches, the futher
the collection. I slowly lured the lizards one by one onto Mai’s Lawn,
and pretty soon there was decent sized collection of young rockodiles.

As other people noticed what I was up to, they
began to collect rockodiles of their own. Pretty soon, everyone was
helping to bring in lizards into the rapidly expanding zoo.

After a while, a few bright exiles decided to
bring some adult rockodiles into the zoo as well, and a few brave souls
lured several great rockodiles all the way from the beaches. I even
managed to coax a water lizard into town, from the southern marshes.

The high-point of the zoo was when we had gathered 11 young rockodiles, 9 adults, and 3 great rockodiles, all on Mai’s Lawn!

Unfortunately, the dangerous isles of Lok’Groton
seem to have honed exiles’ killer instinct to the point where we can no
longer merely watch monsters, but must kill them as well. This was what
eventually happened to our wonderous collection of rocky lizards.
Still, our zoo was a fun, cooperative project– at least while it
lasted.
