You haven't? Hm, well they don't actually look like regular pandas. They're a little more like...
[ she isn't sure how to describe them really? so she'll just throw something out there - ]
Like raccoons, kind of? Only cuter, and kind of an orangey red color. And they have these really long, fluffy tails, and they just like to hang out in trees and relax all day.
[ something about this question just makes her start laughing again. ]
It's - Okay, so picture a dog, I guess? Or maybe a fox would be closer... something like that. But they're gray, and they have these, like, bandit masks on their faces, and they like to steal things.
It'd be kind of freeing! You'd be able to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and no one can stop you... And all you really have to worry about is that the wind is going where you want it to.
Tropical, huh... Somehow I didn't think you'd pick a place like that. But I guess having your ice powers would be great for it, wouldn't it? You'd never have to worry about overheating!

who cares?
ochako is completely right—forget anything else. this is incredible.]
...I think I'd like to be a dolphin.

To be a dolphin? [ a moment later, after turning back to watch them, she adds: ] They do look like they're having a blast out there, huh?
no subject
[she looks back at ochako with a smile.]
...Does that sound kind of crazy?
no subject
No, I don't think so. Isn't that part of why people go out on boats like this in the first place? To feel a little closer to that?
no subject
[she looks back out, wind ruffling her long hair.]
Yes. I think you're right.
What about you? If you could be anything else.

Only regular pandas. I assume they're the same, just... differently colored.

she's imagining this.]
Uh huh.
And you want to be a.... red version of that.
no subject
So yeah, I might choose that.
no subject
...I think I wouldn't mind being a bird, either.
no subject
It'd be fun, right? To be able to fly wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted.
no subject
I think that would be wonderful.

[she sighs as the boat sails onward.]
Wings would be nice.

So, where would you go if you had them?

Okay, so after Japan! What comes next?
no subject
An island. Tropical. There's dolphins, and whales. It's hot every day... there's a lot of fruit I don't recognize.
Maybe something like that.
