Knot-A-Fight Club is hosting a mini-fighting tournament on February 2nd in celebration of the owner's, Mickey Robertson (54), birthday. Any club members are welcome to throw their hats into the ring.

- Otterly Adorable - Baby Animal Naming Contest
At two weeks old, McKinley Zoo's Northern otter pup finally received a clean bill of health... and was determined to be male under all that fluff! Visitors to McKinley Zoo between the ages 4 and 13 will be asked to submit suggested names for the pup during the next two weeks. Animal lovers of Siren's Port will be asked to vote on their favorite name at the McKinley Zoo website. The top 5 favorite names will be voted on in a phone-in segment during a very special episode of Dare Ya!... Animal Style! airing in late February. The child who picks the winning name will receive a year's free admittance to McKinley Zoo and a chance to personally feed the pup and mother otter Sunflower.

Came home last night, and now he's just... gone. Don't think he's coming back.

[ Peter needs a minute or two after that, pressing a hand over his NV and letting the feed go hopefully silent while he gets himself back together. After what seems like almost too long, he starts again.]

I've been here for over a year now, been through two birthdays, and this place, it never makes any more sense. It never means anything, nothing ever matters. We're the only one's that're real here, and i'm just-- [ a beat ]

I'm just tired of losing people.
