( 001 ) finally, he makes an appearance :'|

[maybetouchable]

[ the video starts off to show a fairly nervous man in the latter half of his twenties staring directly at his seal, his lips moving for a moment before words and sound actually come out- ]

[ before he gets a chance to say anything, Julian has bounded onscreen with a beaming grin that’s twice as large as usual. He nudges Rob’s side encouragingly

video;

[w_oapplause]

[Oh. Hey. He talked to Julian. He will say hello to this other dude too. Because I am intent on smothering you both. This little puppy face is grinning excitedly at you.]

Hi, guys! Where are you guys staying, since you're stuck with us?

[w_oapplause]

[He gives a big smile.]

Yeah. We were worryin' about how he was gonna get fed, so we were wishing for it.

tentatively switches to video;

[maybetouchable]

[ there's a softness in Rob's face at the same time as mild confusion ]

W- wishing for it? What do you mean?

[w_oapplause]

[Tink waves hello!]

Splendor grants wishes. I dunno how big they are though, but we tried anyway. I hope someone is feeding Socks.

[maybetouchable]

[ fdhjkdfg awkwardly waves back a little ]

That... [ wow ] t-that's rather unique.

I- I hope Socks is being fed too. [ he was a sturdy little stray before he took residence in one Rob's shirts, though, so Rob tries to think positively if Socks happens to be without care back home... ]

[w_oapplause]

There's lots of magic stuff that happens. Most of the wishes are little stuff, but sometimes Splendor gets all confused by everybody's wishes and weird stuff happens.

INVASION

[bloodaholic]

Is that Tinkerbell-?

[Julian joins Rob on his feed, commandeering the seal and making him switch to video ALRIGHT MAYBE NOT THAT BIT. He beams at Tinkerbell and waves briefly]

Hallo, Tink! Um, bad news about the wishing-stuff-for-people-back-home thing... it didn't really work.

[yeah Julian now has like FIVE BAGS of dry catfood hidden under his bed now]

HALP I'M BEING INVADED

[w_oapplause]

[Julian :D Tink waves back enthusiastically, before he gets distracted by what has actually been told to him.]

Oh no... How can you tell?

[bloodaholic]

[Julian casts a rather embarrassed glance at Rob beside him; he hasn't told Rob about this bit yet]

Oh, er. Well, I wished for the cat food but it kept turning up here instead of back home in Oxford. [:'|] So now I have a whole load of cat food in my room... and no cat to feed it to.

[w_oapplause]

Oh! [That makes sense. Tinkerbell considers this new conundrum....] There are some cats around. I met a big orange cat up by the cabins, I bet he's hungry.

[maybetouchable]

[ Rob's only contribution to this so far is a small, goofy "oh you, why are you so lovely" smile, which extends to both Tink and Julian. ]
