Video; UN: FINN

[hatejakku]

[ The video almost looks like the position a security camera might take, looking down at Finn's living room from a corner. For those that's been to his flat, they might remember a bookshelf is there. Anyway, the place is destroyed.

The couch is ripped apart, tables are broken, books are everywhere, a plant looks to have been torn from the pot and dragged through the white carpet, it's just bad.

The camera pans over towards the hallway where some big brown and black bird comes waddling into the room on webbed feet, head casually scanning on top of its long neck. ]

Can anyone tell me what this thing is. [ Oh, that's Finn's voice. He's whispering and, though he's not in view, sprawled on top of the bookcase. ] I found some shop and this guy told me that animals popped out of some sphere and I bought it because I wanted to see what it actually did and this thing-

[ The goose waddles over to the open wall closet, tugging on something inside until a jacket pulls free of a hanger, then proceeds to drag it through the dirt for no reason.

Finn speaks up. ] Why? You don't think you've done enou- [ The goose stops, flaps its impressive wingspan and hisses at him before folding its wings back and continues about its business.

After a beat- ] I didn't like that one anyway!

[ The goose stops again and looks at him, apparently annoyed now. It flaps its wings, lowers its neck parallel to the ground, and starts running- The camera shakes- ] No, no, no, no-! [ And the video ends. ]

Maybe it doesn't like being confined? Not really sure.

[ Honestly, she's a little jealous he can afford new things with Chroma since she just got here and hasn't really settled into a Chroma-producing routine yet. Thankfully she's not one to just spout out her jealousies at people. She bottles it all up like a polite Southern gal. ]

Well, when this is all over, if you need someone to go furniture shopping with you, I'm happy to volunteer.

[hatejakku]

[ Not many things like confinement. Maybe Finn could open a window? If only he could decide if that would create more problems or not. ]

Yeah? I... honestly could probably use some help. [ He laughs a little, delighted to jump on literally any other subject right now. ] I'm Finn.

[aceso]

[ She smiles at his laugh. ]

I'm Christine. Still pretty new and finding my feet. I can say that with all the weird stuff I've encountered so far, I'd welcome a shopping trip. And maybe I want to scope out what's available here, if I'm ever able to update my furnishings too.

[hatejakku]

It's nice to meet you. I've been here a few months, so I can try to help you out, give some advice.

Um. First bit of advice is don't buy weird looking spheres from random guys. [ Just showing how terrible of an advisor he can be, thanks. ] Anyway, I've had to get to know a lot of the retail shops here for a job, so I at least know that much.

[aceso]

[ She laughs at that. ]

Gotcha. Any recommendations for where I can get some nice, plain clothes? I've seen a lot of, um, interesting fashions since arriving.

[hatejakku]

Yeah, tell me about it. [ That was actually part of the job, trying to get a record of and understand all of these... shops. They're just so unfamiliar to many of the Moonblessed here.

But anyway. ] There's a little mall in Level 2 that's more... modest, I guess. Practical. There's still some flashy things, but it mostly looks all right to me.

[ Finn's aware that he doesn't know most people's "normal" but he can at least point out things he likes. ]

[aceso]

I'll have to check it out, thanks.

[ Maybe she can get away without huge shoulder pads and neon colors after all. ]

But I guess I should probably stop talking your ear off and let you call Animal Control or someone.

[hatejakku]

[ Finn laughs. ] Sure. Thanks for the idea. If you're serious about that shopping trip, give me a call... tomorrow, at the earliest. If this isn't settled by tomorrow, I have a bigger problem than furniture.

[aceso]

Yeah, I'd say! Talk you you later!
