[those who remember Aladdin's last post - or more acurately posts - will be glad to see that he's no longer spamming the network. And the camera is in fact pointing at his face. Aladdin learns quick.]

You know, I think I can understand why you guys wanted to get more people to help out, if that's the sort of thing you're up against. I can't say I'

Well, you don't sound too weirded out by the giant human thing that just came at us.

[Video]

[doyoutrustme]

Hey, I've seen some pretty weird things before. [he shrugs casually] You get used to. it.

[Video]

[alphaspider]

Weird things like what? At home, we have things like very big ants, but not much else.

[Video]

[doyoutrustme]

Well, pretty much anything Genie does. It's kinda hard to explain. He does a lot of turning into stuff.

I'm pretty new to this transformation thing too, but it's not so bad once you get the hang of it! I could help you out.

[Video]

[doyoutrustme]

Hey thanks! How exactly does it happen? Am I supposed to say some magic words?

[Video]

[12ammeattrain]

Magic words? Nah, it's more like meditating. You have to close your eyes and just focus. It gets easier after the first time, 'cause then you can actually focus on what kind of weapon you are!

[Video]

[doyoutrustme]

Right, meditating.

...How do I meditate? (And focus on what, exactly?)

[jumpingbird]

[may be video, but camera's pointed at the sandy ground.]

You're convinced that easily?

[doyoutrustme]

I don't like how this place has brought me here - but they don't deserve to die. I don't know if everything they say is true, but they are in danger, and I'm not going to just sit around and watch.

[and now he grins, looking a little cheeky. Sure, Aladdin only just learned this himself, but...]

Hey, try pointing the shiny circle on the box at your face. Sand is nice, but I can see that anywhere.

[jumpingbird]

... Why not? There is no obligation.

[cautious! and a pause, before a snort. speaking of playing nice in the sandbox--]

Then you won't have a problem looking at it some more.

[doyoutrustme]

Because they're people just like us. I know what it's like to have no one care if you live or die. If I can help, then I will. And you shouldn't help others only when you're obligated to.

[Aladdin's eyes narrow a little at this. This guys seems awfully quick to try and sew seeds of mistrust - but he won't show his face? But he changes to a smooth grin]

Why, you think I won't like your face? Come on, you can't be that bad. You even have a name, or are you just a mystery voice that likes to look at sand?

[ornithophobia]

Having trouble transforming?

[a thoughtful pause] Mm... Well, I might know a shortcut.

[video]

[doyoutrustme]

Well, I'm just trying to figure out how to start.

[intrigued look] Really? What kind of shortcut?

voice

[ornithophobia]

And starting isn't even the hardest part... If you were going about this the slow way.

But quite a few people have circumvented all this meditation nonsense with one easy step. I've seen it myself. Works-- every time.

[somewhat consiprationally:] All you have to do is throw yourself down a staircase.

[video]

[doyoutrustme]

[Aladdin stares are you for a moment.

And then starts laughing]

Right. Throw myself down a staircase. Well...[still looking incredibly amused here] I'll go find a staircase then. And maybe you could go looking for water in the desert. Apparently it's really easy to find.

[Looks like Aladdin doesn't believe you, Kuroro...]

[needling]

You tried throwin' yourself down the stairs?

[doyoutrustme]

[rolls his eyes]

Sorry, that other guy alright tried that one.

[video]

[needling]

Yeah, I didn't believe it at first either... Until I actually got pushed down a flight of stairs.

[video]

[doyoutrustme]

[raises an eyebrow] Sure...and how long have you guys been inflicting this story on anyone who's new?
