[Video] Monday Evening

[mrfastandsteady]

[The feed opens on an especially miserable looking Gargoyle. He's shivering and the video jitters a little. The arm that isn't holding the SFC is reaching across his chest. If you look close enough, you may be able to see straggling clumps of snow in his hair. Some folks might even notice the lighthouse railing--or they would if not for snow buildup there, too.]

J-just in case you guys haven't noticed yet. There's a, u-uh...a surprise up top.

[A chill takes him and his arm tightens.]

Sweet jalapeña, it's cold.

A Gargoyle? You mean like the statues on old churches?

Well, I guess it's not the first time I've heard of a statue coming to life.

[mrfastandsteady]

I guess you could say we're related.

But it doesn't work like that. We're not "statues that come to life," we're one of the races.

[crabbygenius]

...Races? From where?

[mrfastandsteady]

Earth. The three races.

[crabbygenius]

Then your Earth must be more interesting then mine. Do you mind if I can ask what the other two races are?

[mrfastandsteady]

Yeah, you've got humans and gargoyles, of course. Then there's the third race, or the fae.

[crabbygenius]

The fae? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that particular race, or your own for that matter.

[mrfastandsteady]

Erm. Fairies? The children of Oberon? The Seelie Court? Ringing any bells?

[crabbygenius]

Sorry not ringing a bell. Of course, I'm not exactly from Earth so I suppose that's really not surprising.

[mrfastandsteady]

Uh huh. If you haven't heard about gargoyles either, I guess it's not much of a shocker there.

[crabbygenius]

I suppose not.

That just means I need to learn about them~.

[mrfastandsteady]

Uh. Okay.

[He's unsure how to feel about that enthusiasm.]

[crabbygenius]

[He should feel worried.]

So can I study you~?

[mrfastandsteady]

[Uh oh]

--Err. I don't think that's...

[crabbygenius]

I promise not to do anything harmful.

[mrfastandsteady]

Look, science and I have kind of a strained relationship. I don't think it's gonna work out.

[crabbygenius]

Well if you're sure, I won't press the issue. Though something as simple as a hair would work just as well as a full body scan.

[mrfastandsteady]

What're you trying to do, clone me?

[crabbygenius]

..Why would I want to do something so boring?

I'm merely curious about DNA structures. Especially about evolutionary development across the various dimensions that we've been taken from.

[mrfastandsteady]

[DNA, he's heard that word. But he's still almost sure it has something to do with cloning...]

I think I'm just gonna keep my hair to myself, yeah?

[crabbygenius]

[Considering all she wants to to map his genome and nothing else.. he really doesn't have to worry. But, if that's how he feels about it...]

Fine then. I won't press anything you're not comfortable with. Though, I wouldn't mind hearing more about your world and culture.

[mrfastandsteady]

Yeah. Maybe some other time. When the elements are a little more cooperative, you know.

[crabbygenius]

Of course~. My door is always open if you change your mind.
