VIDEO ☢ OO1。

[anomalyse]

[ What up, Tranquility. There's a man on your video feed looking pretty damn tired, despite appearing (and acting) otherwise cheerful. Ohhhhh boy, it's been awhile since he's done his Temple TV stuff, but this is. Basically the same. Right? Okay. Just do it.Hi. Connor Temple here. So, starting off, aside from the whole spaceship thing, I wanted to

[ A little girl's voice is clearly heard after a sigh. ]

I've been paying very close attention to everyone here. I do not know anyone by the name of Abby, and I don't think they're currently present... I'm sorry.

[ voice ]

[anomalyse]

[ Hold on-a little girl's voice? Something is Not Right with this picture. ]

Thanks. [ SOB ] She's probably back home. Which is probably better than being here, so...

[ ... ]

Sorry, how old are you?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision]

I believe if she arrives, then I--

[ There's a small pause. She's trying not to laugh at the frequency of the question, but the poor guy's confused ]

How old is this body, or how old am I in actuality? Unfortunately, they're two seperate questions.

[ voice ]

[anomalyse]

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING ]

Let's go with both. Both answers. To both questions.

[ video ] that icon rofl

[bearsthevision]

I'm four years old, Mr. Temple, sir.

[ This is probably easier. Chase switches on the video feed and offers a small, polite smile. ]

From my guess, I'm around 11 in this body. Woke up like this. No species change, just...aged up.

[ video ] he has no idea what to make of youuuuu

[anomalyse]

Oh, god, don't call me sir. That's-I'm not old enough for that. [ D8 D8 D8 ] Connor's fine.

Hang on. [ he squints. ] I thought you were gonna say you were a 40 year-old woman in a little girl's body.

[ His sci-fi trope knowledge won't help him now. ]

You're speaking really well for a girl of your age.

[ video ]

[bearsthevision]

Age is irrelvent. My intellect is my purpose, sir. [ Right, no sir. ] Uhm... Connor.

But thank you. What does this Abby girl look like? I can keep an eye out, if you'd like.

voice; can never stop threadjacking all the things

[of_two]

Should I infer that this purpose is self appointed, or is it incumbent upon your design?

[ video ] psssht chase likes you, threadjacks are cool

[bearsthevision]

[ Spock! Chase's face lights up, blue eyes bright. ]

If you're given a gift, it's best you use it. Right?

voice; /o/

[of_two]

[ on the opposite end of the feed, spock's fingers lace together. perhaps not as luminous as the flicker in chase's expression, but it is a display of his own pleasure. ]

Perhaps. Should the individual responsible for this gift prove reliable.

[ video | private ]

[bearsthevision]

I've certainly proved myself.

[ There's a small, curious pause ]

Have you?

voice; private

[of_two]

[ his own pause lengthens- and for a fraction of a moment, his eyes close. a deliberate and precise gesture and in that moment, his words are soft. ]

I do not yet know.

[ video ]

[bearsthevision]

[ Chase's smile is alight--it would be a child-like, innocent smile had Chase been even remotely innocent or child-like in that moment. ]

I think we're going to find out, Spock. Sooner rather than later.

voice;

[of_two]

[ his gaze lifts to the device, a mute study. ]

Where did you acquire your purpose, Chase?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision]

I was born with it.

[ Into view, she lifts up a battered, lilac coloured book with a symbol on it. ]

I was given it, as well.

voice;

[of_two]

[ well. that sure is totally unexpected. ]

Please clarify.
