Redecorating

[yanagi_renji]

 Tezuka-sama has given us the go-ahead for doing some remodeling and redecorating of the living room. In particular, I feel that a large aquarium built into the walls would improve the living room tremendously. Perhaps watching the fish swim around will help our young master unwind after a long day. I believe Shuichirou-sama may also find some calm from this activity.

I wonder what sort of fish would be suitable? I hear that the carnivorous types tend to be more intelligent and responsive to their owners. 


[ooc: he is tempted to get something large and toothy and train it to associate Oishi with food...]

Yanagi, have you looked into care of carnivorous fish or was your one intent to harass me?? They will need a temperature controlled tank, regular cleaning and care must be chosen if you intend to put multiple fish in the same tank. Have you thought this through at all properly?

[yanagi_renji]

I assure you, Shuichirou-sama, that I would not take a living creature into my care unless I was certain that its needs could be completely met. I have done all the appropriate research.

Also, I understand that fish-keeping is a hobby of yours, so I am sure you will be able to point out if something is wrong.

As it is, the aquarium is still in its planning stages. I may end up just getting goldfish, or set up a marine aquarium with eels. It will require some thought.

[ooc: It is expected of him! :)]

[goldengreen]

Except my butler. I am glad to hear that even if it's complete crap.

Might I suggest you start with something smaller? Not goldfish but something tropical. You can get a feel for the difficulties in keeping the tank at the right temperature and clean before you embark on a larger project that would be hard to dissemble if it proved difficult to maintain. There are few homes able to take a room-sized tank of carnivorous fish off your hands but more that would be pleased to adopt a clown fish or two. You can always extend the tank later just don't let the clown fish be eaten.

I shall take these considerations into mind.

But I should be a poor butler indeed if I could not handle something like this.

[silverfromsteel]

Perhaps you should help him, Oishi-san - you've kept fish for ages, and it sounds like a fascinating project. Perhaps you'll bond and stop panicking when I spend time with Renji-san

[goldengreen]

He doesn't care about the fish. He just wants me eaten. I don't think Yanagi-kun will want my help.

[silverfromsteel]

You never know. Perhaps you can help him decide which fish would be best suited.

[goldengreen]

.... perhaps robotic ones.

[yanagi_renji]

[Wouldn't robotic fish be even creepier if they followed oishi around? XD]

[ooc]

[goldengreen]

[At least he'd know who to blame for the programming :| It's more of a reflection on what living thing he'd trust Yanagi with XD]

[awedprowess]

Do remember to seal the tank adequately. Kabaji will likely try to pet one.

[yanagi_renji]

I shall be sure to do so.

[imbluedabade]

Perhaps some small sharks.

[goldengreen]

I am surprised you don't just go ahead and suggest argonaut octopi. Their ability to detach their penis should appeal to you.

[imbluedabade]

You seem very knowledgeable about aquatic genitals. Perhaps you could give me some more information?

[yanagi_renji]

Hmm... they are quite interesting creatures. I wonder if the young master likes sharks.

[imbluedabade]

Who doesn't like sharks?

[prettynotweak]

A red parrot fish perhaps.

[awedprowess]

To be devoured by the carnivorous fish? My Seiichi, what a violent nature you are concealing.

[prettynotweak]

I am merely suggesting an alternative.

They can be trained to be fed by their masters and are not savage meat eaters.

[awedprowess]

Ah of course. The prospect of consuming flesh appalls you. What a pity you cannot even limit such actions in your own home.

[prettynotweak]

It's not my choice what he eats.

[awedprowess]

You let your dog choose its own meals? How ... modern of you.

[prettynotweak]

Genichirou chooses what he eats.
