[There's a long silence. Crackles over the speakers, but no sounds from the video itself. The Forge is on the ground -- alongside a blue sandal, decorated with stars along the straps, mist shrouding it like a child's blankets. One can just make out the wall behind the foot -- it seems the owner has been trapped outside ( Read more... )

It took my sketchbook. [She sounds uncharacteristically perturbed.] But -- I did manage to catch it.

[No mention of how she caught it -- Dark Corridors are not exactly the usual method of travel and could raise questions.] It has a name on the back -- Dorothy.

[The camera view is a little jumbled -- it bounces with a loud noise and then settles onto the ground. A sandaled foot, the adjacent ankle, and resulting shin can be seen, and then suddenly everything goes black.

The audio's still working, though, despite the obscured screen.] Shell, settle down, please--! [The black thing moves and then the ( Read more... )

[Two signs have appeared on the bulletin board -- if you haven't seen them, you can now, because she's staring at them, and so is her Forge. So at first, Namine isn't on-screen.

It's higher up, so the children can't ( Read more... )

I --

Has... [There's a long pause then, while Namine chokes back noises that sound suspiciously like she's trying not to panic.] I just went to look, a-and --

[Cue a little wiggly nose in your Forge screen, and whiskers, too. The black rabbit draws back, and Namine pulls the Forge away from it so she can address it herself.] Um.

I got this rabbit as a gift. I was kind of wondering... has anyone got any good suggestions for pet names? I'm not sure what I can call it... [She pauses to offer it a nibble of ( Read more... )

Well, I guess this is just sort of a discussion post.

But I was wondering, has anyone else got any pets? Other than Mr Zack, I mean, because I know he has his little fish.
