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. ]

I've been bitten by these before.

[He studies the creature before lowering his hands.] My dad used to have me catch these and I want you to picture a kid versus one of these. It's not a pleasant experience.

[But. It is hissing. And it has been awhile.

Okay Don think.

He lowers his hands slowly. Very very slowly, taking a step back and being calm. His breathing goes even.]

What do you want to do with him when we catch him?

[hatejakku]

[ He's been bitten before so it's fine? Don, man, c'mon.

Whatever, Finn whines a little as he thinks about the question. ]

I... don't want to hurt him, if we can help it. Maybe lock him up somewhere and... try to reason with him?

[ Does that make literally any sense? ]

[anotheroldfashioned]

It's an animal. It's not going to be reasoned with but if you make a point of naming yourself the alpha and then befriending him...He should be fine.

[Don squats to his haunches and stares up at Finn.] You have a place to put him?

Can you do it quick?

[hatejakku]

[ Finn has the sneaky suspicion that this goose isn't your average animal. It seems smart. Like. Really smart. Smarter than most people he's met. He doesn't want to piss it off more by offending whatever intellect it may or may not have.

On the other hand- ] Bathroom's the first door on the left. I'll get it open.

[anotheroldfashioned]

[He squats, studying the creature and inhaling.]

...Ok.

[Into the bathroom.]


The trick is, you grab his neck. Gently. Gently, and then you grab his wings.

[He exhales a breath.]

I'm going to do this quick and he's going to honk.

[hatejakku]

[ This is going to go so badly. Finn grimaces and holds the door open. ]

I have a bad feeling about this.
