001. [ video ]

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.]

[sylphid]

Why the message? Are people fawning over you?

[Said with a completely straight face.]

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?

[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?

[rightfoot]

I wish that was why.

[ Takes it seriously. ]

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

A deer monster. Got it!

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

[rightfoot]

I am. Thank you, Makoto. You seem to be adjusting, too.

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

[rightfoot]

[ 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.

[proficience]

Oh, imagine if you'd turned into a human here! How would that feel, I wonder?

[rightfoot]

Like a downgrade, if I'm being honest.

[sylphid]

[Well that was a disappointing reaction. She is still sorta curious about him.]

I can't blame them. We don't have any talking deer where I'm from.

[proficience]

I could see that! Though, I'm theorizing that I'm slowly turning into a vampire. Not a traditional beast. If given the choice, I'd remain human.

Blood is messy, after all!

[halfmoon]

i guess so. i think i'm starting to narrow down what i'm gonna be turning into later. that should make it a little easier i hope

that feels so weird to type out and yet, here i am, typing it. lol

((ooc: non-red version, let me know if the red bothers you and I'll stop!))

[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.

[rightfoot]

Oh. What's that? I mean, what are you going to turn into?

I can't imagine being anything else.

text; un: reddeer

[rightfoot]

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

[ ooc: I don't mind at all! ♥ Dave ]

[rightfoot]

Very messy. But, that's probably the least evil of all things as far as becoming a monster is.

I mean, cannibalizing others is not really the best thing.

[video]

[rightfoot]

[ Oh! He's immediately interested. ]

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

[proficience]

If I had to eat others, I don't know how I'd survive.

Having to live off of blood seems like a blessing, in comparison.

Anyway, have you guessed who this is, by chance?

Re: text; un: reddeer

[timeriffs]

seriously?
am i the first person to ask you that?
am i the only person around here that gives a fuck about the important stuff?
this is a goddamn outrage

[horkbajir]

Hork-Bajir. We were not created on the same world where humans, or indeed deer as I know them, evolved.

[hoboagogo]

[Man, this just makes him wonder what sort of world Louis comes from. No humans, all the animals are people, they even have fingers and thumbs. It's even more removed from his own than this place is.]

yeah that makes sense. hard to use doors or get dressed or build shit with paws i guess.

anyway the locals giving you trouble too, or is it just our dumb asses?
