Hello, City. It's a beautiful day outside. I went for a nice run and found myself in with the creatures again. I really do enjoy the zoo. The creatures in it seem so lonely though and I thought I might encourage people to go visit them to keep them company. They enjoy a nice visit and a good chat and I'm certain anyone else would find visiting them enjoyable as well.

But what I am really curious about is the welcome center. I'd like to speak with people who work there, if I could, and of course if you're free.

The creatures do look lonely, don't they? Maybe we could set them free!

I've mentioned that several times and everyone continually tells me it would be bad to allow them their freedom. I'm unsure why freedom could ever be a bad thing.

Really? Hmm. Maybe they think they're dangerous! It makes sense to be careful when you don't have any horns or scales or claws.

Oh I don't have any of those, horns, scales or claws. [Good thing no one saw her just check to make sure.] But I do suppose that some of those could be very dangerous were that creature to feel threatened in some way. For the most part they seem quite peaceful. Have you spent any time in here with them?

[undespairing]

I went once before! It's got a pretty amazing collection.

It does! Creatures from all over the place! I'm getting to the point where I know exactly what they are without having to read the description of them because I go so often to the zoo to visit them. And the weather lately has been so lovely for it.

I'm Penny, just Penny, no other name. Who are you?

[undespairing]

Haha, maybe I should go more often! I don't think I've memorized them all quite yet.

And I'm Elmer! Elmer C. Albatross. Nice to meet you!
