Entry tags:

Did you know, that a group of unicorns is called a blessing? And that a group of ravens is called a murder?

...Who talks about unicorns enough to need a name for a group of them?

People with unicorns, I'd say.

And how many people is that, exactly?

I've met a unicorn. Just one.

But I don't think you can really, um. Own them.

You've met one.

Somehow I'm not even questioning this.

Good.

And why is that?

They're creatures of magic. They can't be kept - you can't just build a fence around them and be done with it.

What if you enter a business arrangement with one?

[are you mocking him sir.]

I don't think you'd have anything a unicorn would want.

[no Kirk just really wants a unicorn]

What do unicorns want?

[no unicorn for you ever.]

As far as I can tell, they can live their own lives. They just want to be left alone to live in peace.

[bah :c]

Funny how that's all anyone wants and it never works out.

I haven't the faintest idea. People with better lives than us.

Which is apparently no one on this Barge.

Well it is the Barge and life automatically goes down in cool factor when you get here.
