Ask Wasty; The Zootopian Reserve

 

 Wasty: No, the Zootopian Reserve is merely Zootopia's personal military. The NMU, along with the other nations across Animalia all have thier own military forces that vary in size and structure. Historically, the Zootopian reserve has only ever seen action as a supplementary force to either the NMU's own forces, or other military forces in Roarope. But in contemporary times, it mostly sees Mammaltarian (Humanitarian)aide work. building homes and nations, and sometimes defending those places from warlords and guerrilla warfare.  

Found AU Ask; Lily as a Hall Monitor

 

 Vernon: Sweet Sawgrass *Sighs* Truth be told, I ain't a fan...both of Lily's current stint as a Hall Monitor, or their lil' AV club webisodes...and especially not goin' around gettin' themselves into dangerous situations as junior detectives...but...there ain't much I can do iffin' I don't wanna alienate my lil' princess from me.

Dawn: Well, to be honest...I do worry when Lily stumbles onto...er...much bigger schemes than 'who's been selling fountain sodas under the table'. But other than that I mean, I'm just glad she's happy.

Vernon: Oh don't get me wrong...I'm happy fer her bein' happy too. That smile o' her's makes my heart swell up with love. But...It's gettin' harder and harder to hold on to my hope that this is all just some phase she's gonna grow outta eventually. And if I gotta let that go...well...then I gotta move onto learnin' to accept it.

Judy: Not to...twist the knife that much deeper Vernon, but...I mean, I was obsessed with policing since I was a kit...

Nick: And look at old Carrots now! *Chuckles* She's probably the top cop at the station...and...I've heard whispers that if Bogo retires, Carrot's is looking like his top pick to replace him.

Judy: Psh! Bogo isn't retiring for a long while, and even so, I'm probably the last mammal he'd want to put in his place.

Nick: Stranger things have happened...like that 'narcotics ring' your daughter stumbled onto...

Vernon: *Places a paw over his face and groans softly*...

Dorian: I would maybe chalked that up to dumb luck, if not fer the whole 'caught that neighbor plannin' to murder his wife and defraud and insurance company' thing too. At this point I'm thinkin' that lil' Miss is so gifted she ain't even aware of all the cues she's pickin' up on a subconscious level...it's like..it's beyond Hunter's intuition at that point...*Chuckles*

Vernon: *Lets out a soft, sad whine...*

Dawn: *Wraps her hooves around her mate, nuzzling his cheek.* There, there Puppy...

Vernon: I'm supposed to protect Lily....I'm her Pa! How am I supposed to protect that pup iffin' she goes off workin' a career that throws her in harms way every day?

Audrey: Vernon, I've felt what yer feelin' believe you me. *Audrey sits down next to the couple, also wrapping her paws around the wolf and hugging him* Between yer Pa, and yer brothers I've been afraid for 'em every day. Still am...

Vernon: *Whimpers*

Audrey: But at the end of the day, what was I gonna do? Trap y'all in the house and never let y'all go outside? *Audrey shakes her head* That'd be selfish fer me to monopolize yer lives like that, to keep y'all from spreadin' yer wings and figurin' out who y'all were and what ya loved...not to mention it'd woulda' made y'all hate me.

Vernon: I-I know Ma...but...

Audrey: Y'all gotta be supportive Honey, even iffin' what yer pup's doin' scares you to death. Because at the end of the day, it's their life to live...not yers. Y'all need to decide whether or not yer gonna turn away from that because of the pain, 'er iffin' you'll grin and bear it as y'all stand on the sidelines cheerin' her on...

Vernon: I know yer right...I just...*chuckles softly* I just want a few more years to lie to myself is all...just let her be my lil' princess fer a lil' longer...

Dorian: *Chuckles* Now that sounds just like yer Ma..., askin' the gods fer just a few more years of puphood to coddle you boys...

Audrey: *Glares at Dorian*

Dorian: *Shrinking back slightly* O-o'course I wasn't all that much better...whatchin' yer pups grow is probably the most beautiful and painful thang a parent can experience. It feels like it just zips by sometimes...and before y'all know it yer pups are off gettin' tithed. In the end, y'all are torn between pride and sadness. But I think it's safe to say that pride and joy always wins out. Personally, I think that Lily will shine when she grows up, regardless of what career she ultimately chooses to go into. But fer now, y'all still got plenty of time left to watch her grow into that spectacular mammal one day, and be there to help her reach that goal.

Audrey: That was beautiful Dori...*Sniffles*

Vernon: T-that was...and thank y'all...that actually...helped a lil'...

Judy: Nick, are you crying?

Nick: N-No? Of course *Sniffle* n-not Carrots...I j-just...*Sniffle* got some sand in my eye is all...

Judy: We're nowhere near Sahara Square right now Nick, what are you-

Nick: Who is chopping onions!? *Snort*

Ask Dawn; Still Love Seafood?

 

Dawn: I'm not...sure if I'm embarrassed to admit this or not, but the cravings for fish did not go away after Paige was born. *Giggles*

Vernon: Guess you ain't as much as a herbivore as you thought you was...

Dawn: *Gives Vernon a playful slap* As if you're one to talk Mister "I keep eating all my mate's turf tarts!"

Vernon: Hey I can deal with the mild indigestion fer somethin' that tastes that good...

Dawn: Oh Puppy...*Giggles* It's just bottom of the bin highly processed herb mixes in pita bread...I'm surprised it's even palatable to a predator.

Vernon: Much like our relationship Floof's, diets aren't as black and white as everyone else thinks either...

Dawn: *Chuckles* Well, I suppose that's true...though honestly, I've surprised myself. I mean, before I became pregnant with Paige, the only fish I could manage to stomach was Vernon's Mother's candied salmon filet.

Vernon: That's cause it's so heavy on the maple y'all can just barely taste the filet...

Dawn: Of course, when I was pregnant that all changed. It wasn't long before I was snagging food off Vernon's plate...

Vernon: Or in some cases eatin' my whole meal and leavin' me with yer salad as consolation.

Dawn: *Giggles* Oh Puppy, I'm sorry...I was just....having a hard time accepting my cravings. Of course, when I finally gave in Vernon was ready with a smorgasbord of fishy delights for me to try.

Vernon: Most of the stuff y'all mentioned in yer ask was purty much my go-to fer seafood. Shrimp, Clams, Lobster, Sushi...(which is my personal favorite by the way, specifically spicy tuna, as well as the spider roll), granted most of that stuff I had to order...I can cook some, but I ain't Malcolm 'er my Ma.

Dawn: I didn't turn a single entree down either. All of it just tasted heavenly...it was like I had been depriving my tastes buds of pure mana from heaven...even if not everything agreed with my stomach. Granted I never got a chance to try shrimp gumbo or Mexicat ceviche...

Vernon: I'm sure Honey knows of a good Brayjun place 'er two up in the Nocturnal District. As fer the Mexicat Ceviche....er' maybe Val or Cameron would know of a decent Mexicat place in Sahara Square.

Dawn: Well, I am open to trying them, but I will say while my craving for fish didn't go away after Paige was born, they did diminish. Outside of crab, I kind of fell off liking other shellfish as much. Shrimp too, to some extent...unless it's fried. Although I do still enjoy sushi.

Vernon: She's also a fan of the spider rolls....*Chuckles* And between me, her, and the pups, spider rolls make up half the order when we go fer sushi.

Dawn: You'd think eating a fried crab, shell and all would be so off-putting...and I mean it is...at least until you taste it. *Giggles*

Ask the Ruminerds; Eldram Ring

 

Joel: My body is ready....

Vernon: Heck, we're all purty excited about it.

Gus: I've got a whole month's worth of our usual BnB sessions all blocked out right after the game drops just so we can all get the 'full experience'.

Broomie: Rut Me! I don't think I've ever been more hyped for a single game's release since...Um...well...actually...I don't think I actually have before...

Gus: What about Wolfcraft?

Broomie: Ugh...please don't mention wolfcraft...I sunk waaay too much of my teenage years into that...

Gus: And early twenties...

Broomie: Ah-bup-bup! Shh! Let my embarrassment with and die in silence and shame!

Joel: Seriously though, with Hidetaka Miyazooki directing-!

Gus: And George R.R. Meowtin doing the world-building lore...it's, I mean it's-it's an unbeatable combo!

Vernon: It's like chocolate and peanut butter...unless yer my brother Ulric, then it's like Carib and peanut butter...

Broomie: Two great tastes that taste great together!

Joel: Or in Vern's brother's case, One great and one passable tasting thing that tastes passable together...

Ask Wasty: Woolshington DC?

     

    Wasty: Woolshington DC, like its real-world counterpart s the seat of the North Mammalian's Union's overarching government. It is also the seat of the local government for the Atlambtic Corridor Conglomeration of states. (Which states are in it...I'm not 100 percent on that yet. I'm not even 100 percent sure on that name tbh.) As I've mentioned before, all the 'states' as we know them still exist in one form or another, But each state is usually part of a small cluster of individual 'regions', and then said regions are banded together under the North Mammalian Union. This of course adds an extra layer of electoral officials, as senators for states would rally under an elected region president, and those region presidents would then file in under the president of the NMU. This extra step is to allow more state-level citizen control, and force senators to come to agreements between states before it can be passed up to the regional president and argued for on the congressional floor.

    Also, DC stands for District of Cowlumbia in this universe because of ANIMAL PUNS!
