'Cool. Is it some sort of ship then?'

 "Sort of. It can manifest in the Material Plane, but it can only swim in the shadow oceans."

 "Thank you. We have more, but you'll have to pay for it. We can't just give away infinite free food... anymore."

'Nah, I'll pass. Wait, you could afford to give away infinite free food? Were you some sort of millionaire? I always wanted to be a millionaire'

 "I have some farms in the Shadowfell, but now that I have such a large crew to feed I need to actually make a significant profit."

'You're from the Shadowfell? What's it like there?'

'You're from the Shadowfell? What's it like there?'

 "Horrible. I was nearly sacrificed to the Skins because I was too small when I hatched."

'Man, that sounds rough. I'm glad I grew up in the sewers and not the Shadowfell'

'Man, that sounds rough. I'm glad I grew up in the sewers and not the Shadowfell'

 "That is something to be glad about. Unless they're the sewers in the Shadowfell, which shift around on their own and create monsters from filth and despair."

'Fortunately not. Just the regular sewers in the capital city. Man, I miss those days. Shame that my enemies got onto my tail, and I had to move on'

 "If you are ever in trouble, I could let you on for free. You're the kind of person I would be willing to bring aboard as crew."

*I'm gonna have to switch to Chromebook soon, so my replies are gonna slow down dramatically.*

'It's a nice offer, and if I were in trouble, then, sure, why not? But not now. Not a huge fan of sea creatures. Give me the creeps. Ironic, really. Giant rats are, to me, adorable floofballs, but fishes are nightmare fuel'

 "There are no windows in the crew quarters, and there isn't much to see there anyway. You won't have to deal with any sea monsters."

'I'd sure hope not. And thank you for the offer, maybe I'll take it at some point in the future. But I've been a sewer rat for my whole life, and I can't see that changing any time soon.'

 "Understood. I just like taking in those that society doesn't treat as well as it should."

'Who said anything about society? Society sucks. Nah, I don't mind my life. It's what I'm adapted for. Like, this guy's spent straight up months at a time without seeing sunlight.

Whereas, I got a nice shady home, with plenty to scavenge, the occasional corpse to rob, and twenty million rodent buddies? Who wouldn't want that?'
