[The device is attached to the trunk of a tree. An enormous beaky head swings into view, one red eye looking into the screen. The beak opens and emits a series of hoarse caws and croaks. A girl's voice sounds at the same time, only vaguely in synch with the beak's movements.]
Testing. Test-ing. Okay, you either work or you don't.
The hell is this? ( Read more... )

Oh dear... it can't be that curse again, right? The one where dinosaurs appear and try to eat people?
*confusion*
No, wait, this one is... speaking? ]

Excuse me, but are you actually… I mean you look like a dinosaur. I have only seen them once, but the resemblance is remarkable.

There'd be a reason for that resemblance. I'm a Quetzalcoatlus, last and most perfect of the pterosaurs, the pinnacle of the azhdarchids, the largest creature to fly on its own power in the skies of Earth. [She rattles that off less like a boast and more like a 'yes, get on with it'. Also she's wrong, but doesn't know about Hatzegopteryx.]
Not actually a dinosaur, but from the same time.

My name is Eagle Vision and I am from a planet called Autozam.
The city must have brought you from a past history of Earth’s past? It sounds like you are familiar with at least that much, maybe you travel through time often?

Eagle Vision. Metal. I'm Janine.
Once. It was complicated.

[Go figure. ]
Metal?
[Setting that aside for now. ]
It is nice to meet you Janine. I’m sure someone must have said by now that this place is called ‘The City’ and that there is no way that we know of yet to return to the world you came from. But, it isn’t really so bad here once you get used to it.

The name. You're not in a band, are you? Do people just call you Eagle Vision all the time, or do you have a nickname?
Yeah... This is all amazingly odd, but I'm not really in a hurry to be back there, so.

[He does think it funny that so many people from Earth have such strange reactions to his name. ]
Why would a name like that mean I was in a band?

It would make a good stage name. A lot of musicians pick those to sound cooler.

Will you be staying in the woods? I doubt you would have a problem with the monsters that live there but I should warn you about them anyway.

Monsters, huh? [Wary now.] What kind of monsters?

Those nicknames sound more normal than either E.V. or J.F.
[Almost guaranteeing that at some point you will be called J.F. ]
They come in all shapes and sizes really. The smaller monsters I doubt would cause you too much trouble but there are some larger kinds. The trees in the woods are pretty safe though, if you have to get away, climbing one of those is a good way to… but you might be able to fly? Maybe climbing wouldn’t be needed at all.

Eh, I'll figure something out. The day is young.

Huh. Well, maybe I'll find something from the air.

That would be easier. It is much better to get a good look at everything from up there.
