Hm, still no sign of the honorable Chairbadger. We should celebrate when he arrives.
Anyway, I hear that the gnomes brought some new adventure paths with them, and they're running some tournaments down in the gaming halls. Many of the badgers have already registered, and I think I'll join them. Let me know if any more badgers arrive.
Puff, you're welcome to join in. I'll introduce you to the badgers and you can roll up some characters. It's got to be more fun than anything that involves chasing leprechauns.
Hmm. Something tells me it's mostly eurasian badgers hereabouts. All chummy. And with halos.
Damn you, British colonial period, for slapping the same label on anything the size of a small dog with a stripey face and claws of which from the pointy ends you'd rather stay away (and for that silly taboo against preposition-terminal sentences)!
Of course, we Americans aren't the most severely impacted by that banefully broad Brit badger brush. It's the Africans I feel sorry for... honey-badger? Really? No wonder they're so keen on emasculation. It's just tit for tat.
Oh! Hi.

Welcome tejón! You have arrived at the Celestial Sett! No one with halos here, except when Celestial Healer drops in for a visit. We eagerly await badgers of any literary origin. The British seem to supply more examples of badgers in literature than anyone else, for which they deserve the recognition of our species, but great badgers from all over the world eventually find their way to this sett.

Here we proudly label ourselves badgers, just as we did in our mortal lives. Claws that inspire such fear and respect as you describe probably belong to a badger! Nature's most beloved children wear the label with pride. Are you seeking another label, or would you deny it to badgers from other lands?

You have a penchant for alliteration. I too am an American badger, but the problems of our former lives rarely come to mind here. Also it is considered impolite to needlessly irritate Mr. Badger, who is highly respected in this place, and worthy to be the first badger to open the doors to the Celestial Sett. We welcome many like-minded creatures and persons here, and the number of refugees under our protection is growing considerably.
Oh! Hi.
Everyone, welcome tejón! Let's celebrate his arrival!
Oh, welcome sir!

His name is badger in Spanish! Tejón (spoken with a perfect accent), I am the resident plumber. Come to me if you need anything repaired!
Welcome! I knew I had heard that name somewhere.
Welcome, Tejón!

*Drives a street sweeper through the thread, sweeping out recent non-badger insurgents*
Of course our non-badger, celestial friends are always welcome in the sett.
*Runs over insulting visitor multiple times with street sweeper.*
What about non-badger celestials?
<waking from nap, bits of gold falling from his fur> CH, good to see you here in the sett! I don't recall what sorts of refreshments we have to offer nowadays, but I think we can scare up something fitting for the occasion.

They've got to be better than the refreshments on my thread.

I beg to differ, Healer. Ever since I kil...replaced Follower, the cuisine has improved drastically.

The Badger's winter stores, which indeed were visible everywhere, took up half the room—piles of apples, turnips, and potatoes, baskets full of nuts, and jars of honey...
the two tired animals came down to breakfast very late next morning, and found a bright fire burning in the kitchen, and two young hedgehogs sitting on a bench at the table, eating oatmeal porridge out of wooden bowls. The hedgehogs dropped their spoons, rose to their feet, and ducked their heads respectfully as the two entered.
"There, sit down, sit down," said the Rat pleasantly, "and go on with your porridge. Where have you youngsters come from? Lost your way in the snow, I suppose?"
"Yes, please, sir," said the elder of the two hedgehogs respectfully. "Me and little Billy here, we was trying to find our way to school—mother would have us go, was the weather ever so—and of course we lost ourselves, sir, and Billy he got frightened and took and cried, being young and faint-hearted. And at last we happened up against Mr. Badger's back door, and made so bold as to knock, sir, for Mr. Badger he's a kind-hearted gentleman, as every one knows—" [ 114 ] "I understand," said the Rat, cutting himself some rashers from a side of bacon, while the Mole dropped some eggs into a saucepan.
I imagine there'll be some new badgers around now. Good thing the tomatoes are coming along so well. Think I'll fry some zucchini blossoms up.
In Soveet Rassya zucchini eat YOU!!!
Yeah....now all she is is a PhD in neuroscience.....no biggy.
