: Beastar
:Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo?
:The little arctic bear cub watches you with its head tilted, flapping its semicircular ears.
:You're certain no one can ever resist a cute, fluffy critter — not to mention that it's waving its cute little stumpy arms at you as if to ask for a little bear hug.
:...How could you say no?
: Submit to your heart's desire.
::Give up. You're just making the same mistake anyone else would when faced with a bear cub like this.
::You walk forward, quietly. Good: it hasn't run off but is still watching you with those innocent eyes. You begin to imagine the soft touch of that fur in the palm of your hand and wonder: is this the happiness that you've been pursuing all along?
::Just then... you seem to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eyes.
::Something that has absolutely no business being here. Its presence is so offensive — like marbles in a soda bottle, or lipstick on a shirt collar — that it's impossible to ignore.
::Your movements stop
::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groohoo?
:: Submit to your heart's desire.
:::Who cares about anyone else! Nothing is more important than happiness right here, right now. Even if the are about to lead a withering assault against Penacony, you decide you want to grab onto that soft fluff first. You're sure that this is the great justice behind why you do all you do.
:::Your hand spreads wide, fingers quivering slightly. Good, you're about to pet it.
:::...Are you sure you don't want to think about it some more?
:::Plains Bear Cub: Groohoo... Groo?
::: Submit to your heart's desire.
::::You win! You are bold, and none can resist you. Go ahead and do whatever you want!
::::Your palm hugs onto the little cub tightly. It's a little heavier than you expected, but that doesn't matter — its soft fur tickles the palm of your hands while filling your heart up to the brim with warmth. Another beautiful life moment for you.
::::Plains Bear Club: Groo! Groooo!
::::It grunts happily and doesn't seem to be offended by your rude behavior.
::::You sigh with relief. The risk paid off, and you got what you wanted. But... at what cost?
:::: Explain what you just did.
:::::Seeing as they have chosen to display themselves as an arctic bear cub, it's not technically wrong to use a corresponding method of petting. Therefore, you decide to...
:::::Maybe we should just scuttle.
::::;(Obtained reward )
:::: Leave as if nothing happened.
::: Hang on... something isn't right.
::::
:: Hang on... something isn't right.
:::
: Hang on... something isn't right.
::...You only just realized something isn't right?
::...Have you recovered yet from the rashness of your blind impulse?
::Didn't you notice that this whole time, the sign hanging above the creature doesn't say "Arctic Bear Cub" at all?
::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo?
::Take a deep breath and don't get excited. At least they aren't angry right now, and you still have plenty of time to think about mitigation strategies.

::Plains Bear Club: Zzz... Zzz...
::While you're desperately searching for a solution, the little cub falls asleep!
::Fine. Look at this, er... the "animal enthusiast" doesn't mind being treated like an animal, after all.

:::Wubbaboo: Woo...
:::What's going on? The moment you calibrate the target's mood, a Wubbaboo pops out of nowhere.
:::Wubbaboo: Woo-woo, woo whoooo woo.
:::Wubbaboo: Woo!
:::The Wubbaboo minds its own business, hovering around you, circling faster, faster, and faster, until...
::: My Dreamscape Pass?
::: Where's my phone?
:::Wubbaboo: Woo-woo.
:::You watch as your Dreamscape Pass drifts away from you like a leaf in the wind. And then...
:::It stages a perfect landing straight into the open inventory of a passerby.
:::Passing Pepeshi: Uh-oh, what do you want from me?
::: Something of mine is in your backpack.
:::Passing Pepeshi: ...Really? Is this some kind of new scam...
:::Passing Pepeshi: Let me see... Oh, there actually is something? Is that yours?
:::Passing Pepeshi: Here, take it. It's rightfully yours.
:::For some reason, the other person gives you their entire inventory.
:::After confirming you have no ulterior intentions, the Pepeshi person vanishes in an instant.
:::(Trailblazer): Was that a mistake...
:::Wubbaboo: Woo? Woo-woo!
:::You can no longer tolerate this cheeky, mischievous Wubbaboo. It should be locked up in the space station's containment cabin! For a million Amber Eras!
:::Sneak off before it comes up with a new way to prank you.

:::Beastar: I really have to hand it to you humans!
:::What's going on? The moment you calibrate the target's mood, an Intellitron girl pops out of nowhere.
:::Beastar: What are you looking at? Have you never seen a creature that's different from you before!?
:::Beastar: I hate people who discriminate the most! Do you know how many eras of struggle it took for us Intellitrons to be emancipated and granted equal status with living species after the Emperor's War?
:::Beastar: The very fact that I can stand here is testimony to the fact that such concepts as a soul... as humanity... these classifications are simply nonsense!
:::Beastar: Inorganic life has finally wrested the right to dream for ourselves — but what about other creatures? Bears? Ditings? Wubbaboos? Why can't those other life forms enjoy the right to dream? Do they not also deserve a little slice of this paradise, too?
:::Beastar: It's your prejudice that's making this city so lacking in life... that's making the streets stink of humans!
:::Beastar: Let me warn you again, do not discriminate against any creature! Even if it's just a space rat crossing the street, its life is just as precious as yours! So stop trying to get smart with me!
::: I wasn't going to.
::: Actually, Ditings are artificial...
::::Beastar: Here we go again. Can't the artificial still be a life? Can't metal make a life? What about those that reached enlightenment themselves, that were naturally created by the universe or created by the Aeons?
::::Beastar: Existing taxonomies are just shoddy theories clutched onto by a few academic elites desperately relying on their shallow understanding of nature... In my opinion, that's all nonsense!
:::: I don't want to debate you any further.
:::Beastar: Yeah, that's right. Back off and retain some dignity. Move aside and don't ruin my performance — I still have to busk to earn my lubricant oil.
:::Why would you want to deliberately annoy a bear, anyway?

:::Diting: Woof, ruff ruff!
:::What's going on? The moment you calibrate the target's mood, a Diting pops out of nowhere.
:::Diting: Woof woof... woof.. ruff...
:::The Diting makes a weak whimper from deep within its gullet and keeps rubbing its head against your leg just like a puppy drenched in a downpour.
:::Fine, everyone has a need for validation. You come to realize that this feeling... really is not bad.
::: Pat it on the head.
::: Scratch its throat.
::: Rub its belly.
:::Diting: Woof! Woof ruff ruff...
:::The Diting sniffs your fingers and then nibbles at your shoelace, softly pulling at it as though dragging you off somewhere else.
::: Go take a look.
::: Take me with you.
:::You decide to follow the Diting's lead. After all, it has already helped you to no end. As luck would have it, you're someone who understands what gratitude means.
:::Diting: Woof... ruff ruff. Woof!
:::The Diting hasn't made it that far before it starts loitering in the shadow at the street corner and later returns with... a bag of garbage.
:::It sits near your feet, still looking up at you with those innocent eyes.
:::Diting: Woof woof!
:::Indeed, Ditings have no business being in Penacony.

::Beastar: ...What do you mean?
::Beastar: Consider yourself warned — don't get any funny ideas about those cute little animals. They are pure, and it's best to keep your distance, or you will taint them with human stink.
::Beastar: As for you... I've heard about this lounge. Even if you seem like someone who treats animals the same as humans, I'm not trusting you completely.
::Beastar: Differences in life forms can't be easily ignored, and mutual understanding is merely empty talk!
