[The feed clicks on and we can see an image of a man's face. His bright eyes are wide with something like curiosity, and he's kind of grinning as he turns the device in his hands with a low whistle.]
Man, this is way fancier than any equipment I ever got at work. It's the swankiest walkie-talkie I've ever seen! [He gives an amused laugh, then

Perhaps that was poor word choice on my part. I know magic when I see it; this video chatting is a bit new to me, is all.

Simple.

All right, I suppose I walked into that one. I could do it with no sleeves or gloves if you prefer, but somehow I get the feeling you'd have a smart answer for that, too.
[Ugh, scientists. They think they know everything.]

Oh, that is very clever. A perception filter, perhaps? A simple enough trick to convince those watching of what you've done. Though those don't usually work on me, so it's doubtful. And quite frankly, you don't look smart enough to make one.
Of course, you could just be a fire-attributed species, like the Pyrovile. Well, not exactly like them, as they're extinct and they were made of stone. Isn't that clever, being made of molten rock? But yes, it could just be your physiology that allows you to sustain and create flame. There are about two dozen such species in the universe, you know.

I can't speak for the cleverness of being made of molten rock, as I'm not in fact made of molten rock, but... You know what, science gives me a headache. I get the feeling that demonstrating any of the more standard spells I know will get me nowhere with you. [Besides, he kind of sucks at anything but Fire anyway.]

A "moogle?"
Oh, you can do more tricks? I'd love to see them. [tooooootally ignoring that science jab there, Axel]

Moogles are little critters from my world. Er... worlds. Er... [He waves a hand.] They're not uncommon where I come from. They kinda look like... little bears, I guess? With wings and a pompom on their head that's totally vestigial so far as I can tell. [He folds his arms then.] Little bastards'll wheedle you out of your last ten munny, too, I tell you what. Don't ever try and haggle with a moogle.
[And then he narrows one eye.] Why, so you can pick those apart, too? Wanna see 'em in person so you can't say it's cuz I set my sleeve on fire? Oh ye of little faith...

I've yet to see a moogle. I think I should like to add them to my databanks. Are any here, or did they all remain in your universe when you were pulled here? Though I wonder if the Core is even capable of pulling multiple creatures at once. Perhaps that's the source of the Darkness and the monsters? Oh, this will require further study.
[distracted thinking of moogles and then] ...you mean you'd show me?

Your... databanks? [Headscratch. Unusual word choice, but whatever blows your hair back.] I haven't seen any here, but ah, I guess I can let you know if I come across one, Miss, ah...? [His eyebrows lift in inquiry.
[And then he blinks.] Sure, why not? [Now he's really not sure what to think. She says magic doesn't exist, but then wants a demonstration anyway? He can't quite figure you out, lady. And that's interesting.] I mean, it's not like I have other very pressing business or anything. I never thought magic was that extraordinary--it's not that uncommon where I come from...

You can call me the TARDIS. That seems to be the best name for me here. I'm still getting used to names, though.
Splendid! I'd like to see the extent of your physiological abilities. [because they're totally not magic. nope]
