001. [ video ]

[rightfoot]

Name: Louis
Date: August 9
Format: Video

[ The video comes on and Louis is front and center. He got a grasp on the technology pretty quickly. He's... annoyed, and he's not good at hiding it, either. His tone is just as annoyed. Like. He can't believe he has to go over this. ]

So, since this is the best way to get the message out from what I can tell, and I'm sick of repeating myself, so I'll only say this once.

[ Pause. He has a long pause between each of the words. ]

I.

Am.

Not.

A.

Monster.

[ He lifts the camera up to get a full view of his head, to get a good shot at every angle. ]

I am just a deer. I arrived here like this.

[ Frown. ]

Any questions?

So... you're not a deer monster...

[Slowly, uncertain, with a contemplative scratching at his chin.]

You're just a deer. Right?

[Sounds fake, but there's some deer monsters in the town he's from, so he's biased.]

[video]

[rightfoot]

I'm not even a little monster. Just a deer.

[ Shrugs. ]

I've never been anything else. Like, I'm guessing you've always been a skeleton?

[sylphid]

Why the message? Are people fawning over you?

[Said with a completely straight face.]

video;

[rightfoot]

I wish that was why.

[ Takes it seriously. ]

A lot have assumed I've been here much longer.

man people still giving you shit, huh. So you got magic here instead? or did you have magic before, too?

also real question: can you type with hooves or is it like video only for you or do you have normal-ass fingers and i just didn't look before?

[ Normally, he'd switch to text because, well, he can, but instead he lifts up his hand next to his head, showing his hand. It's covered in fur, of course, but otherwise. ]

My hands and foot are pretty similar to a humans. I guess it's inevitable that they would. I understand animals don't talk in most worlds.

A deer monster. Got it!

[He's just trying to rile you up!]

[rightfoot]

I mean, if I were a monster, I'd have started as a human here, right?

What's that? I'm not going to google it or whatever it is here.

[ ooc: I don't mind at all! ♥ Dave ]

[Toby's voice is deep and guttural, her enunciation just a little bit odd]

Nor am I. Before they reach for other explanations, the people of this world, as in others, seek to fit things into reality as they understand it.

[video]

[rightfoot]

[ Oh! He's immediately interested. ]

Yeah. I get it. May I ask what you are?

video;

[exterreo]

So you were a deer... back home, as well? Is that usual in your world?

video;

[rightfoot]

I've always been a deer. Everyone's an animal at home. We don't have humans.

[video]

[textsfromhotland]

Oh wow, I'm having, like, the opposite problem! People keep asking me if I'm a dragon, but I'm not! I'm just a monster!

[video]

[rightfoot]

Aren't dragons...monsters here, though?

text.

[amurder]

Interesting.

I could see how one may have to clear that up. [Considering people here are looking more and more beastly these days...]

Rest assured. You'll find there are others very similar to your likeness the longer you stay here.

text.

[rightfoot]

So far it's people that have become more similar to me, didn't start that way. But that's still a monster supposedly.

[loadme]

[A deer. Well, alright. Sure, why not!]

Did you get told you were a monster, or a witch? I have to admit, I'm a little curious if you're going to be a monster, and what that'll mean.

text

[rightfoot]

I'm a witch. I'm not even a little bit a monster.

[wylderrant]

[ She does this video thing very rarely, but she thinks it's worth it this time.

She's got deer ears and an impressive set of antlers to go with them - although the rest of her looks human...ish. ]

Well, that's a change. I arrived a fair folk and here I am growing antlers!

[ There's a pause. ]

Although, to be fair, I did have horns before.

video;

[rightfoot]

[ Blinks, and there's a little surprise. ]

Those are pretty impressive antlers, too. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to change that much?

[ He already knows he's a witch, but he's curious about the new people he's met, too. ]

[catasstrophy]

They're still going on about that kind of stuff?

[Yeah, have a... cat-human hybrid. Which may or may not be more disconcerting when you're only used to actual animal people.]

[rightfoot]

[ He's staring for half a moment, and obviously doesn't jump to conclusions. But it is totally unsettling. ]

Yeah. You got it a lot, too, then?

video

[defendure]

...You look pretty normal to me?

[ But he's used to like.............

Animal quirks, and such. ]

video

[rightfoot]

You're one of the first. Definitely the first human.

[ He glances. ]

Not many people have animal friends.
