Crows to control rats? That's ridiculous! They'd only attack a rat if it was out in the open without cover and probably injured... but even then they would rather go eat carrion or other birds! Oi...

Weasles would be better, but even they go after birds, DON'T do cats, they kill everything. Nice on the farm though.

I know! and please don't suggest weasels, they'll do it and we'll end up with another pest!

I feel bad for the cats though, I mean it's a city with nothing but buildings and highways.... you see them ending up as road kill alot that its sad....

this is way I like traveling to places with a quiet country side, open spaces and nature. no weird let's experment with the ecosystem and see what happens or a tiger cub running down the street with a leash dangling behind him (I screamed when I saw that and the cub was scared of ME!!!!)

I forgot to ask, are we allowed to be with out companions to coach them through it or are we stuck in the inn? I realize they have to do the actual work.

I have a slightly-used baby Virginia possum for rent. His name is Vernon. He was rescued from the swimming pool. His main skill right now is playing dead.

, : Pest? Hey! I resemble that remark! Actually, weasels are quite cuddly and affectionate if you feed them lots of cookies and ale and bacon and sausages and watermelon and blueberries and kumquats.

you feed me all that and even I'll be cuddly XD

You can be in the cave, but once they begin the rescue, it's just them.

Questions 1. My companion is made entirely of shadow-magic. If magic is no good here does that mean he is rendered useless? He is a shadow-creature who can change his shape and size but has no magical abilities of his own.

oh my goodness, this is so funny!! You are hilarious! :D

And done ♥

I know.... I'm speedy gonzales but I'm traveling in few days so I'd rather hand in my homework early XD

BIRBS! And I'm pleased that you mentioned bats, I have a character from ages ago that had a pet bat (originally a rescue but he stuck around). THOSE SOOT BALLS, THOUGH. <3 Very nice. They are so cute! I love Miyazaki's work~

No magic? Sihr is unhappy with you. She can't fly in there. Or speak to the others. Ah well. Maybe she'll stay behind... Jean: C'mon Sihr, we need your help! Sihr: <Dun wanna!> ...I'll talk to her. <.<

yay ♥

Nightshade wouldn't rescue a bat though.... he might eat it -_-;

Miyazaki is my fav. anime director, I grew up on his movies so my first thought was I NEED THOSE FUZZ BALLS!!!!!!!! of course how they'd even manage to do anything.... errrrrr I did not think that one through when I picked them ^_^;

like the tiny faeling Sihr, they're stronger than they look (though she has both a physical and a magic boost to strength. Y'know, how ants can lift what would be a truck for a human?) Also it should be noted Chihiro had trouble lifting those durned coal chunks.

yeah but that was because they were hot. those fuzz balls were supposed to be stronger then they looked but not THAT strong!

I think I managed though, I just think they're adorable :D

omg your solution for the companion challenge. i love you. <3

hehe what we lack in size we make up for in sheer number!!! and cuteness, don't forget cuteness!!!!!

miyazaki = <3

I was born and raised in Michigan, gosh how I miss the lake. To get my daily fill I go to the live Earthcam and just watch. :)

Haha! Get your daily Michigan any way you can! I love it when I travel and people are in denial that a body of water that big can be fresh water! XD

Lake Michigan is beautiful. I live by the Mississippi River which frankly doesn't even compare.

I was watching kite boarders earlier today having fun on a fairly ticked off lake. This afternoon the sunbathers were out. It brings back many happy childhood memories of spending all our summer days at the beach. :)

@ Frieda is that possum for real? he's so cute!

how big is this goblin, is he very heavy?

Kite boarding is so cool! I love watching my brother riding the waves! Wow, so nice! Memories like that are so wonderful! ^-^

I'm way too old to try anything like that and I don't ever remember seeing stuff like that growing up, but it's fun to watch them via the Earthcam. The wind was really zipping them along. :)

Well time to find something to watch on TV. Have a great night!
