oo1 . video, action
[ Here you have a boy of about twelve, standing tensely under a tree, hair dripping. He hesitates, then addresses the camera with a little nod of hello, as though he's not quite sure he's done it right.
He used to be middle-aged and respectable, he'll not tolerate an entire crowd of strangers calling him Rupert. So. ]
I'm speaking as, um, a new arrival. My name is Giles.
I understand that there are... others like me. I don't intend to stay. But--
[ He turns-- the camera wobbles, he's never touched video chat before in his life-- to show the Ponyta standing mildly beside him, fire-mane spitting in the rain. ]
This fellow has been, um, keeping me company. The so-called handbook tells me next to nothing-- how many creatures are there? Are they all of an-- elemental nature? Is the rain a danger to him?
[ And, unthinkingly, with a high edge of irritation: ]
Where does the bloody irritating music come from?
[ Anyone in New Bark will find him at the foot of the route, stroking through the flames of his Ponyta's mane with a look of delighted fascination. He's hesitating, in the way of someone deciding how safe it is to ride a horse partly made of fire. ]

[Video] lllate whoops!
I'll try to keep him out of it.
[Video] no worries! been busy myself!
[The camera shifts as she gets up from where she's sitting, apparently in a tent of some kind.]
Hang on, I'll let her out and show you. Just gotta get outside to avoid turning our only shelter into a flaming wreck.
[Video]
Do they grow very fast, or is this the, um-- evolution?
[Video]
[She shields her head against the drizzle-- it's not coming down as hard wherever she is as it is by New Bark, but it's still pretty gross outside. Still, there's a clicking sound and a flash of white light and then, before the camera is an impressively-large unicorn with a cream-colored coat and a mane of flames.]
[She whickers disapprovingly, giving her head a shake and splaying her ears out to the sides. TRAINER why on earth did you send her out in this, this is terrible ugh.]
Sorry, girl, I'll put you back in a sec, I promise.
