[Fun fact: Carmen Sandiego really likes dinosaurs. However, her love for dinosaurs is still mildly eclipsed by her typical policy of not putting video of her face on the network, so she's splitting the difference instead by offering up a short video (almost a Vine, really) of a whole pack of the little guys in action, accompanied shortly thereafter by a text.]

[2:15 PM] I'm sure I'm not the only one who's always wanted my own dinosaur; if you're interested in giving one a good home, I'll see if I can't oblige.

[2:16 PM] Though, in the interest of caveat emptor: they might Cretaceous a fair amount of havoc, if left unsupervised.

[2:18 PM] Tyrannosaurus Rex, after all.

[2:18 PM] He leaves it to someone else to clean up his mess. :)

Were the puns really necessary?

[doitrockapella]

[The puns were super necessary, don't even.]

No bones about it.

[solas_ion]

[Not included: the facepalm and deafening groan of 'WHY']

You're killing me here. And I'm already dead a couple times over.

whhats a cretaceous???

...and could i get two? i think my friend might like one

[doitrockapella]

It's a period in history from whence this particular dinosaur's look-alike came.

Would you like any two, or should I try to pick out a pair of friends?

[bertall]

you mean they were real???? how come theyre not around anymore?

but ummmmm
friends would be nice
itd be a little sad if they didnt get along right?

[He likes you so much right now, Carmen.]

Why can't there be dinosaurs where I am?

[doitrockapella]

I always did have a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

[ossifragant]

So it seems.

Think you can get me a couple? I still have a pink bird who could do with a home if you're interested in a trade.

[WOAH DINOSAURS stop the presses.]

Haha, could I have one, please?

[Jimmy appreciates the heck out of those puns, Carmen.]

[doitrockapella]

You certainly can. Where am I sending it, care of whom, and what kind would you like me to try to grab for you?

[video, just because]

[paladinlost]

...I cannot say I've ever wanted a Dinozombie of my own before, but they look much more charming with a smaller size and flesh on their bones. I promise you, I have plenty of experience in dealing with messes and havoc of all kinds.

[He probably means it as something positive. Probably.]

[text forever]

[doitrockapella]

Then I imagine you'll be well-suited to these; they really are a handful.

Would you like me to send one your way?

[Tobias also really really loves dinosaurs.]

I want one. Uh. Please.

I don't have much to trade but I might be able to find something.

[doitrockapella]

[NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW MUCH THIS WOMAN LOVES DINOSAURS. Today she is surrounded by them. She has never been so happy.]

Then maybe I'll just make you a gift of one, instead, and then there's no need to trade.

Any personality in particular I should look for?

[loveisanopendoor]

Oh my goodness, they're lovely! If you wouldn't mind, I'd certainly love one! I promise I'll take good care of it! Would you like anything in return..?

[doitrockapella]

I won't condition the trade on it, no, but if trading is half the fun, then I wouldn't mind hearing what you have to offer.

Is there any temperament in particular you'd like me to look for, in these little rascals?

...That's right. They look like a particular animal that once lived in Earth's history.

[islandshore]

Those are T-Rexes.

There are actual T-Rexes now? It took this long?

[...Pardon Riku while he tries not to let his childhood love of dinosaurs get him too excited. It's just... T-Rex. Coolest dinosaur ever. How can he not ask for one?]

You don't know how tempting that is. Or maybe you do, just.

You got any of those guys to spare?

[doitrockapella]

I think my traveling companions would say I've got more than enough to spare; I doubt they'll let me keep all of them.

[NOT LIKE SHE'S NOT GONNA TRY, THOUGH.]

Would you like me to send you one?

[Joker has no real idea what dinosaurs are, but he knows one thing.]

i want one please!!

[doitrockapella]

But of course. Any particular temperament?

[bookslap]

I think I'll be able to keep a handle on one of these guys. They're... not so large.
