Shark Week (Open to Titans East)
Shark Week was only a week away and Cerdian was needless to say very excited about. Just like he had been like since he was a little kid and uncle Roy introduced him to it much to his parents annoyances. He was watching some reruns from previous years in the titans east rec room while he worked on some paperwork for the research ship that he did a lot of work with. Nothing made doing paperwork easier that watching sharks.

	Dinah had her laptop open in one of the other chairs, coding. She'd look up every now and then. "Okay, seriously. What is the obsession with sharks on this channel? I mean, predators of the deep and all, but seriously. They're big, they have teeth, they eat stuff, and there's about a dozen super-villains patterned after them. That's it." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"They are the ultimate predators," Cerdian says excitedly, "They have been around for millions of years without evolution effecting them much. It shows just how effective they are and the super-villains are all just jealous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, yeah, getting that," Dinah said. "But why does that take a whole week to explain?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-07-28 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"Well a lot of people don't know a whole lot about shark," Cerdian says. "Like how much do you know about whale sharks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not all that much," she conceded. "But I could also hack into any marine research lab's database in about one minute to find anything I needed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-07-28 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Well Whale Sharks are the largest fish you have records of and that are completely gentle filter feeders," Cerdian says, "And most people don't know that there are nice sharks like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-07-29 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely not the usual mental picture. You saw shark, most people thing Jaws or bad super-villain death traps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-07-29 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Exactly," Cerdian says grinning. He loved talking about sharks. "Out of over 350 species of sharks only 4 have a significant number of fatal and unprovoked attacks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-07-29 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"...That we know about," Dinah amended. "The Shark Conspiracy's gotten to you too!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-07-31 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe but sharks don't really like our taste. I know I've asked them. Seal tastes much better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-07-31 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"...Talking to fish is still one of the weirdest powers ever handed out. Ah, no offense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-07-31 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Well talking would be kind of generous way to describe it in the case of most fish and bird," Cerdian says, "But I wouldn't knock it till you've tried it. Or seen what a school of sharks can be asked to do to supervillians." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-01 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	"So you can talk to seagulls and pelicans and penguins and stuff?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-08-07 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Talk is definitely pretty generous with them too," Cerdian says, "They aren't all that bright for the most part. But penguins are usually pretty nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-07 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Has Cait ever told you about Pippi? Never bring up penguins around her. She thinks they're not birds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-08-07 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah she has," Cerdian says with a shake of his head, "I'm not sure what to think of that but as a marine biologist I can definitely say they are bird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-07 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I think pretty much everyone but Pippi knows that," Dinah said. "I'm still not sure she isn't just putting everyone on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-08-08 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"How would she react if I told her that the penguin says she's a bird," Cerdian asks to see if that would work better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-08 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Dinah thought for a moment, then put on the best approximation of Pippi's usually expression that she could. "'Oh no! How terrible! That poor penguin is all confused! You need to explain to him that he's a mammal before he tries to fly!'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-08-08 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Cerdian it a little taken aback by that performance. "So I guess I should never let her meet a platypus then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...honey, that was very accurate, but please never do that again." Riley shudders, but grins. "I don't know." He shrugs at Cerdian. "It could be educational." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-08 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Dinah just giggled. "...Ordinarily I'd say you shouldn't, but now my scientific curiosity is piqued." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allwet 2013-08-09 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"I'm more worried about what might happen to the poor platypus," Cerdian says with a little bit of a worried look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2013-08-10 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"Eh," Dinah said. "Girl's kinda dim, but she's mostly harmless. Bad stuff seems to just go around her." (Reply to this)(Parent)
