“What use is a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?”

- Henry David Thoreau

There is an odd creature wandering about through space that is disturbingly like a turtle. This interstellar turtle is brightly colored in reds and purples and he is given rather a lot of notice wherever he goes, which is rather a problem because this planet sized wanderer is quite shy and looking for a home. A home where he will get little attention.

As a turtle he naturally carries his home with him, but he’d like a place to settle for a while, and being shy and the size of a small ludicrously colored planet, he’s not having much luck so far.

He stopped around Earth for a while, you know. Naturally he couldn’t land and that cut his visit rather short. All the same though, we were a stop on his trip and we introduced him to ice cream, which he absolutely adores. What with all the people though, he really couldn’t stay long and he went on his way.

I doubt he’ll ever come back here, but I wish him luck on his home hunting all the same.
