Re: OOC THREAD for game: PANTHEON
Well that's a good one, though it reminds me of a sad story I saw once... it wasn't The Twilight Zone nor The Outer Limits nor One Step Beyond nor Thriller, but it was a show LIKE that, in black and white.
Two scientists, a man and a woman, are in charge of a find-- we've found a baby mammoth in the arctic AND MANAGED TO WAKE IT UP FROM BEING FROZEN IN THE ICE LIKE CAPTAIN AMERICA (or Aang, if that's your jam).
(On the show, they covered a real baby elephant in fur and pretended it was a baby mammoth.)
The woman scientist names the baby mammoth Toby (as I recall?) and grows very attached to it.
The man scientist finds this interesting because 1. He's attracted to her but 2. she doesn't like any sort of personal attachments to anything except baby mammoth.
He asks around and finds out that a few years ago she had a little boy but he (and her husband I think) died (car wreck?) and that's why she can't even. (I think "Toby" was the name of either her son or her son's favorite elephant toy?)
Well, after several weeks of trying to get Toby the baby mammoth to get healthy, it nonetheless passes away. Female scientist is devastated but finally lets male scientist into her emotional zone to comfort her. Although we're very sad we couldn't raise Toby into being a grown-up mammoth so that then we could have an awesome grown-up mammoth, maybe we'll find another in the ice one day, and in the meantime these two are clearly gonna get married and so on so happy ending?
But I was like nooooo Toby The Baby Mammoth!
So that is my post about Baby Mammoth Feelings.
