Alright. For future reference, talking animals should be a topic addressed when dealing with new-comers. Less important one, yeah, but still worth an honorable mention, I think.

[ A shift here to a musing tone, but anyone who understands the concept of sarcasm is in for a treat. ]

Kidnapped by unseen, malevolent forces, trapped to live in a village in the middle of nowhere with no means of escape, vulnerable to torture, don't fuss with the wings, everything's free... Talking animals.

I just had a squirrel panhandle me for crisps.

Are there any other things I should be prepared to converse with? Are the appliances keeping tabs on what we're getting up to?

Journals are. They log everything. Every written word, every recorded statement.

[Don't ask where he is, John. It's probably better you don't know. Really.]

It goes back. Boring, most of it. Inane chatter, petty whining, personal drama.

Yes, I've sorted the journal out.

[ Sort of. He's shit with anything newfangled at first. ]

You've read all of it, though?

[ No, he's not suggesting anything at all. ]

Read what's important. Mostly dull. Same as everywhere-- the majority of them are absolute idiots.

Still. Few things of note. Have them written down on a loose piece of paper. Will show you later.

JOHN.

[John! Jack clears his throat.]

You've not......you've not happened to have seen any honey badgers about, have you...?

I... No, can't say I have, Jack. I've mostly stayed within the village, though.

Did you have some sort of business with honey badgers?

.....You don't remember. [And for that, perhaps, we may all be thankful.] 'S good to see you back, sir.

Panhandling, huh?

[there's definite laughter in her voice] Well, that's one I haven't heard yet.

The word or the scenario?

[ He's mellowed out a little more, and may be smiling, faintly. It was rather ridiculous. ]

The squirrels. They're getting bold. I thought the cats were pretty territorial about the village.

[she...might be teasing]

There's electricity and running water. Stoves, fridge, oven. Haven't seen a toaster, pity.

Magic, did some run magic past you?

They can all talk? [ Skeptical - she can't be serious. ]

A bit. Not much, honestly. Do you, ah, know something of it? [ He doesn't seem to completely believe in this one either, but he's just been heckled by wildlife, so he's a little more open to the concept. ]

...Sorry about that, misheard. No, the appliances don't talk, thankfully, though I believe there's a robot or two around here.

There are spirits around here, Filial spirits they're called. Six in all, if you make the effort to contact them and learn from them, you can pick up some of their powers.

Yes, I realize it all sounds crazy, but it's one of the many odd truths around here. Worlds without some sort of magic tend to be uncommon around here.

[Voice] Nooo you're wonderful!

Nng squirrels. Annoying buggers. [ They're really hard to hit with a car too. I mean... ]

Shouldn't say that. Just be grateful they haven't inducted James Cameron into the place, taken a fancy to his work and gone all Skynet with the appliances yet. Though have to hand it to you, at least you know what a microwave is.

Well, I could perhaps make a case for Avatar, but I can't say I disagree with you overall.

So long as the kettle doesn't talk to me when I set it on the stove, I might be alright.

And what's wrong with talking animals?

[Yes, this is a colorful, cartoonish pegasus looking unimpressed.]

...

[ That's a pony.

...

That's a blue bloody pony. ]

Well, there's nothing wrong with them. It's just not something I've been used to seeing.

[ There is a placating note of apology here. ]

There are cameras in the fridge.

[Trollin' trollin' trollin']

To see how often a household peruses it? I doubt it.

[What a confusing post.]

Why should we tell everyone about talking animals?

[Doesn't everyone have them back home?]

Edited 2012-01-13 14:48 (UTC)

Well, it's...

It's sort of an uncommon condition, where I'm from.
