Ask the Ruminerds; Warrammer 40K?

 

Gus: Warrammer 40k is....I mean it's not my favorite series, but I'm into it.

Broomie: Mostly cause Gus is into pretty much any game that involves working with miniatures, right?

Gus: Assembling them, painting them...I mean, I love it.

Melanie: I have my yoga, Gus has his mini-figures. *Giggles*

Gus: You joke, but it's totally my zen activity. I can just sort of zone out while I paint.

Joel: Sure that isn't just you getting high on paint fumes?

Gus: Alright, alright, settle down. Remember who the mammal is who makes and paints your customs for BnB, okay?

Vernon: *Chuckles* Yeah, y'all don't wanna cross the BM who's makin' yer character. Lest y'all ferget what happened to Lewis and his Dire Warrior.

Joel: *Cackling* Oh yeah! Gus made his figure minus the loin cloth, and gave him a little micro-ween! *Laughing*

Broomie: *Snickering* Lewis was pretty sore about that...

Gus: *Snort* Well, that's what he gets for criticizing my campaign as much as he did...

Vernon: By the way, if yer gonna do somethin' like that in the future, at least warn me ahead of time so I don't make the mistake of bringin' Edi down to the game...

Gus: *Snickering* Y-yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want to traumatize your kid...

Ask the Parents; Lovey Dovey Talk

 

Audrey: Oh we used to terrorize the boys with our lil' 'lovey dovey' talk.

Dorian: I remember Yuri used to always start fake retchin' whenever we'd be getting' affectionate in front them. *Shakes head* That boy used to put on such a performance, I swear.

Vernon: He really gave it his all, so much so that I'm pretty sure he actually threw up that one time.

Yuri: Don't act like y'all were so much better! We was all gaggin' whenever the 'pet names' came out....I was just...already kinda sick that day...so pushin' it wasn't the best idea...

Dorian: I was a purty good way to get the boys outta the house that's fur sure...*Chuckles*

Audrey: All I needed to say was “Oh my Dori dear...my lil white suga' wolf...”

Yuri: And the nausea is comin' right back...Bleccch!

Dorian: *Chuckles* Aw knock it off...y'all are too old to be actin' this way...Ya got she-wo-...mate's o' yer own now.

Vernon: I suppose that's one upside. *Chuckles* We may have suffered under watchin' our parents get all gooey with one another when we was pups, but now that I got a pack of my own, I get the distinct pleasure of doin' the same thing to my pups, ain't that right Honey Lamb?

Dawn: *Giggles* Of course, my Darling Puppy Love....

*Vernon bends down to plant a soft kiss on Dawn's lips.*

Allison and Edison: EWWW! GROSSS!

Edison: I'm gonna spew!

Vernon: *Chuckles*

Audrey: Just wait till the day comes where y'all get to show embarassin' pup photos to the mates they bring home...* Giggles*

Dawn: Speaking of, do you still have that picture of Vernon naked in the mud puddle? *Giggles* It's so cute, and I'd love a copy I could frame...

Audrey: O' course Darlin', I can make y'all as many copies as you need!

Vernon: Hey, hey, hold on now...don't I get a say in this?

Dorian: Sorry there Pup, yer' still a few years off before it's yer turn to embarrass yer pups. *Chuckles* The ball is still in our court fer the time bein'...

Ask the HunterBellwethers/Ruminerds; Favorite Dismurinae Characters

 

Vernon: Think it's best we limit this to the pups, and our immeadiate pack, as er...this whole back and forth would be a bit too long to handle.

Dawn: Should we start with the pups?

Vernon: I think that's fair, although I will say I don't think Paige is 'too young' to have a favorite, considerin' how she watched Floatzen to the point where the Bluray broke.

Dawn: *Giggles* She does light up every time Princess Elsa is on screen.

Vernon: And she gets so excited she's practically vibratin' like Qali on coffee whenever 'let it go' starts playin...*Laughs*

Edison: Wagg-E is my favorite! Both the movie and the cool robot!

Allison: Of course it is. All a movie has to do is be set in space, and it's instantly your favorite movie ever...

Edison: That's not true! I...liked Dinotauria too...

Allison: Yeah, but you didn't go on and on about it like Wagg-E....or Gods, Star Wolves. I wish Pa-er...Dad had never shown you those movies!

Vernon: Sorry Darlin', but yer brother really wanted to see the new ones, and Broomie would kilt me if I didn't show Edi the originals first. So he kinda got....a real big dose of it in a real short amount o' time.

Gus: *Mumbles* Star Trot is better...

Vernon: *Whispers* He ain't old enough to really absorb Star Trot....

Dawn: What about you sweetie, who's your favorite Dismurinea Character?

Allison: I don't watch movies for Pups...

Edison: Then why do you have that 'Scritch' doll in your room?

Allison: I-I don't know what your talking about!

Edison: Yes you do! It didn't just get under your bed by itself!

Allison: YOU WERE IN MY ROOM!? YOU LITTLE WORM!

Dawn: Lambs, Lambs please! Don't make me put you in the cool-down corner!

Allison: BUT HE WAS IN MY R-!

Dawn: Alli, we will discuss it later sweetie, okay? I promise.

Allison: *Huffs* Fine...

Edison: S-Sorry Mom...

Joel: I can't believe someone didn't bring up Kuzco? Empurror's New Groove?

Gus: Can you really one of Dismurnea's religious movies? Like the Lion King series? I mean...he's a llama god before he was a Dismurinae character...

Joel: True, but it technically counts, and it was a pretty fun retelling of the old tale.

Broomie: Does Roger Rabbit count?

Joel: That depends, is that you avoiding saying your favorite character was actually Jessica Rabbit because of her huge t-.

Vernon: JOEL! *Whispers* Not infront of my pups Mam'.

Broomie: Moreso Roger Rabbit is sort of a joint Dismurinae and Woolner Bros video. It's like...is he technically 'half' a Dismurinae character?

Vernon: I'd say it counts. Dern good movie too.

Edison: That movie is really funny! *Glares at Alli* And see, it doesn't have space in it!

Allison: *Rolls Eyes*

Edison: *Sticks tongue out at Allison.*

Dawn: Edi, you are two seconds away from the cool-down corner. Do not test me young lamb.

Edison: *Puffs up cheeks in annoyance and crosses arms*

Vernon: What about you Gus?

Gus: Oh me? Well I've always like Olifur and Company. *Chuckles* I thought dodger was pretty cool.

Joel: more wolf envy from Gus, what a surprise...*Chuckles*

Gus: And what's that supposed to mean?

Joel: Best friend is a wolf, favorite character from Dismurinae is a wolf...honestly, I'm surprised you aren't pulling a Broomie and mating with one.

Gus: I guess I've just always like strong characters, and wolves are generally depicted as being strong in media. *Laughs* I'm gimped and hobbled over here, is it so hard to believe I'd look to strong mammals for inspiration and motivation?

Joel: Well, when you put it like that...

Melanie: C'mon, not love for Cetacia, the lost empire? Kida?

Joel: That movie was boring....

Melanie: It was different! And kinda mature for a Dismurinae movie! And underrated classic!

Gus: It is, like the Iram Giant...

Broomie: C'mon, Iram Giant can't compare to Cetacia, no offense Mellie.

Melanie: No...even I'll admit Iram Giant is like, another class in terms of cult classics...

Joel: I still tear up at that ending mam'....hearing “Supermam'...” for that last time...*Sniffle* I'm getting teary just thinking about it...

Ask Dawn and Honey; The Nocturnal District

 

Dawn: Lamb Sakes! I completely forgot about the Nocturnal District.

Honey: Yeah, you and everyone else...we're always Zootopia's after thought.

Dawn: Sorry Honey.

Honey: *Chuckles* Just be thankful I'm not Ulric, I would have accused you of taking part in some sort of conspiracy to de-legitimize the existence of Nocturnal Mammals.

Dawn: *Giggles* Right....Well, the Nocturnal District for those who don't know, is a large underground District made up of a series of massive caverns that were largely carved out by Zootopia's aquifer.

Honey: And expanded on by the inhabitants over the last fifty or sixty years...

Dawn; According to the previous census, it has less than five-hundred-thousand mammals living there. As for actually living there...well, I think Honey would have a better grasp of what it's like than someone like me.

Honey: Living there is, sort of cozy if your a burrower mammal like me. There's a lot of natural beauty carved into the district, lots of waterfalls and pools lit up by natural bio-luminescence. Most of the 'buildings' are built into the cave walls, but the 'heart' of the District is styled to look like a cluster of Stalagmites and Stalactites wrapped up in a blanket of sleazy neon, and that's where most of the 'fun' stuff goes on. All night casinos, bars, dance halls, you name it, we've got it. Of course, the laxer laws in the district have helped give it it's rather....seedy image int terms of the way most Zootopian's see it. Drinking, Drugs and Gambling are all way more loosely regulated, that the ZPD in the district has a really hard time keeping organized crime down. Of course, I have my own theories about that. Ones that involve corruption and scandal that go all the way up to the Chief of the Nocturnal District's ZPD.

Dawn: Yes, I remember I had a very hard time getting Lionheart to do anything about the District's issues. He preferred turning a blind eye to it like his predecessors...

Honey: *Chuckles* It would take an effort from every District in Zootopia, clamping down all at once to really clean the district up, but that would go against a lot of Zootopia's whole 'let the mammal's of a district help shape it' attitude and make them look like hypocrites. The place has been a bit of a crime nest since prohibition. It's the primary reasons Zootopia prefers 'memory holing' the whole district all together. But issues aside, there's a lot of upsides to living there, the primary being the fact that the entire schedule of the district is built around mammals with my circadian rhythm. And despite how accommodating Zootopia at large tries to be, Nocturnal mammals still have it difficult living anywhere but in the Nocturnal District. There's all no shortages of places to sight-see, or places to just have a generally good time without the....seedier aspects of the district seeping in. For better or worse, I still would want to live in the Nocturnal District over any of the others...

Ask Dawn; Why are the Meadowlands split?

 

 

Dawn: The primary reason there is a division between the North and South Meadowlands was largely due to the fact that the area that is now considered the “North Meadowlands” was constantly invaded and retaken by native wolves until Leif Hunter, the first Representative Leader of Alpine Glade lead a successful charge to push the native wolves out of the region once and for all. This thirty year period of contested ownership of the region sort of....cemented a dividing line between the North and South, with the Southern Meadowlands remaining largely safe as the Native wolves hadn't occupied the area, and it was much closer to the heart of the rest of Zootopia's settled districts, and subsequently their militias. But the South Meadowlands was largely the 'port' area for the Scottram Settlers, and the North Meadowland's was sorely needed to grow crops in order to support the growing populace, which is what kept the sheep fighting for it in the first place.

After the Native Wolves were finally driven back for good, and the North Meadowland's properly claimed, the area remained somewhat....unofficially distinct from the South Meadowlands for a good century until the citizens of the regions pushed to make the separate distinction official, complete with having their own representative that shaped local laws in relation to the actual local population.
