Sewer Flukes are, of course, more than welcome to do
so. Try picking a location which has a local accent
that you can properly mangle...
As has been mentioned elsewhere, there are lots of
weird things hanging out in the NYC sewer system.
Libertarian Sewer Flukes (LSFs) aren't even remotely
the weirdest - although they are hardly prosaic
denizens of the City That Never Sleeps. Of course,
it's hard to be prosaic when you look and smell like a
flattened halibut. There's a lesson there.
Well, probably not.
The funny part is, they aren't even really what one
would call dangerous. The average LSF is perfectly
happy to just swim around in its preferred habitat,
doing the sorts of things that appeal to a LSF and
generally having a heck of a good time (well, good
from the point of view of an LSF). They don't hang
out much with each other, unless they feel like having
an argument. You see, they really are Libertarians,
and they all approach that particular philosophy from
unique viewpoints. Nobody has yet figured out yet
just how they managed to learn and study
Libertarianism in the first place - or how they keep
track of the latest publications. Possibly some kind
soul comes down and reads aloud to them every so
often. Or maybe it's yet another insane byproduct of
the reality warp that is the NYC sewer system.
On the rare occasions that they do have to fight,
well, don't fight them on their own turf. Their
preferred method of attack is essentially to wrap
themselves around a target, start constricting and
hope for the best. Considering that few people can
breathe sewage (and fewer would want to), this is
actually a decent strategy. However, they only fight
when attacked, and they taste horrible, horrible,
horrible, so the issue often doesn't come up. The
closest thing that LSFs have to an actual enemy are
the giant ants known as Them, and that doesn't really
count: the LSFs just try to convince individual Them
to leave their collective and live free, and the Them
pretty much ignore the Libertarian Sewer Flukes.
With the above, one would think that LSFs would have
almost no contact at all with other life forms; a
reasonable assumption, but quite untrue. The reason
why is simple: the sewer system of NYC (or any other
major city) is a very confusing place to get around
in, unless you're a Libertarian Sewer Fluke. They
just somehow know where things are, and how to get to
them - and, provided that you can make them a decent
offer, a LSF will be more than happy to guide you
there.
Of course, finding something that a LSF would want
might be an adventure in itself. So would
understanding their directions; thanks to the laws of
dramatic necessity, all LSFs speak with a Brooklyn
accent so thick that you could bounce rocks off of
it...
