[Hello Thor! On your guides today, is a rather short ten year old. You can tell he is short, because of the gigantic badger he is currently brushing down with a grooming brush. The badger is roughly the size of a shetland pony, which is why Matthew is only the tiniest bit taller than it. Although he looks about a third its mass in general. And oh GOD the huge CLAWS on it, the fangs so huge they're curving out of its mouth! Oh, and it is purring. Yes. Badgers purr.
He's idly brushing his badger with one hand (it sounds as perfectly innocent as it is, you pervs), whilst he talks to the video.]
Hi.
I've never had a job or anything before, but Mister Shindou says that people might pay me to do magic for them. So, I thought I'd tell everyone my five classes.
I can do Voodoo. That's curses and blessings, and I can do an enchantment that makes things glide if you ride them.
Then I have Melody, which is making music, and dancing and singing. Um. There's that ball thing coming up, so if someone who can't dance wants to go, you can ask me and I'll give you a night's worth of dancing.
[He makes a noise that is technically called a Kecker at the badger-it's something like 'Keeekeeee', and it turns around so that he can brush the other side.]
I don't know if I can sell my others though...I have Absorb, so I can absorb attacks and shoot them back. And Monster. But I can't do any Monster spells yet. I can only do this.
[He lifts up his right hand, pressing his palm to his chest, and muttering 'Batform'. A papery shuffling noise follows, and an absolutely huge (relative to his tiny body) pair of bat wings unfurls from his back, the wing's skin spreading right down to his thighs, the 'arms' attached to his shoulders. He wobbles a bit, before the wings fold up-it looks like he's used to it.]
I'm supposed to turn into a little bat, but I haven't got it yet.
[He Keckers at his badger once more. It opens its mouth oh god that's a lot of very big teeth isn't it and Matthew throws in what looks like a large dog treat. The kind they chew to keep their teeth clean.]
Oh. I guess I could sell my Dimension magic. [Matthew reaches towards the tiny bag on his belt, tugging the strings to open it, wider and wider, far larger than the bag's fabric should allow. With a snap of his fingers, the badger plods inside, and Matthew pulls the strings tight, reducing the bag to the same size as before.] I can make something bigger on the inside. But if I do that one, I have to sleep for a whole day, so it'll be expensive.
[He scratches his nose in thought...What else?]
Mm. Miss Scarlet, I'm done with your necklace. And what're you wearing to the ball? I need to know so I match.
[He pauses, scratching his nose again.]
That's all. Okay, bye.
[And he clicks the feed off.]
