Triton: Do I look weird, bro?! Be honest! flexes awkwardly
he laughs No, you look amazing
rolls eyes and crosses arms Of course, you're going to lie to me! Look at this ridiculous triangle body! It's like I've been genetically modified or something!
Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that. But seriously, do I really look okay? Or am I some kind of freak show?
Hey, if anyone’s a freak show, it’s me. I’m literally a giant rat
Oh, trust me, you are! But hey, since we're on the subject of oddities, have you ever seen anyone get their pet monkey arrested?
What? That sounds…like a bad idea
Trust me, it was a disaster! The monkey went crazy, swinging from the chandeliers and throwing poop everywhere!
Damn, that doesn’t sound fun
You have no idea! It was a complete shitshow! And let me tell you, the police looked at me like I was some kind of circus freak or something!
I don’t think it’s that bad. I mean, at least the monkey’s family didn’t press charges or anything
Yeah, well, lucky for them I guess. But seriously, it was such a mess! I never wanna go through something like that again!
Well, as long as you don’t try to set any more monkeys loose in the city, I think you’ll be fine
Oh, don't you worry! I've learned my lesson. No more monkeys in the city for me. But hey, speaking of animals, have you ever heard of a pangolin?
Haha, no, not a snake! A pangolin is actually a type of mammal that can roll up into a ball! They're pretty cool, but man, they've got some serious armor-plating going on!
Yeah, they're definitely one of the weirder creatures out there. But hey, on a more serious note, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a pangolin?
I dunno, isn’t their whole thing that they curl up into a ball?
Exactly! They can protect themselves from just about anything. It's like having a built-in force field! And it got me thinking, wouldn't it be awesome if humans could do that too?
I dunno, wouldn’t we just turn into balls?
Well, we wouldn't exactly turn into balls, but you get the idea. If we could somehow mimic the pangolin's ability, we'd be unstoppable! Imagine being able to curl up into a little ball and bounce around like a freakin' pinball machine!
