[ It takes Mickey several attempts to get this right - this technology is WAY more than what he's used to. First the video keeps cutting out, then it's upside-down, but finally... the image stays! Relieved, Mickey waves a friendly hello from his room - to his right is a panting pup, and on his hat is his familiar, a brown sprite-like thing with tattered clothes. ]

Gosh, you think I got it right this time? I sure hope so... well, guess there's only one way t'find out!

[ Clears throat! ]

Hiya, folks! My name is Mickey Mouse! These are my pals, Pluto -

[ "Rowf!" Pluto happily barks. ]

And... uh, well... they told me this lil guy is my "familiar", not really sure what it all means, so I'm not sure what to call him. I thought about "Pluto Junior" -

[ Said familiar pinches Mickey's ear, hard, and Mickey visibly winces. ]

But, uh, as you can see, he... doesn't really like it all that much, so I guess if you have any suggestions when it comes to names... Oh, right! I almost forgot why I was usin' this thing in the first place!

See, back in my world, I'm a musketeer - guess it's what you'd call a "knight" here! And I still haven't really gotten a hang of this magic stuff... but I figured I should keep up my swordplay while I'm here, so I don't get rusty! Magic's useful and all, but the more ways you can help out the better, right?

So I was wonderin' if there's anyone out here who would be willin' to help with that - training with swords every so often! Thanks a million!

And see ya real soon!

How are you settling in, Mickey? Finding your feet, I hope?

[He looks pretty non-pulsed to see a talking mouse. In fact, his most pressing question right now is:] Is your surname 'Mouse'?

[He doesn't sound mocking. It's said in a very mild manner, calm and curious.]

It is normal for your familiar to want a name of its own rather than just be a namesake to another. [Says the person who hasn't come up with a name for his own familiar yet....he's working on it.] My own sword skills could also use some polishing if you'd like to exchange pointers.

Hi Mickey, it is nice to see you again. Oh, you even have a dog too, he must be really friendly. Can I pet him sometimes?

(Harry can also see the familiar pinching on Mickey’s ear, which does get him a little worried, though the Musketeer mention get his attention much more.)

So you’re a Musketeer back home? Perhaps you can teach me how to fight with a sword someday, I once held a sword and it was just a one time thing only.

[On the screen is a young woman with bright pink hair and two white horns atop her head that almost look like cat ears. She's also surrounded by three dogs. Two, the pit bull and corgi, are her pets. The third is her familiar, a winged dog.]

I don't know how to wield a sword, but I wouldn't mind learning if you wouldn't mind teaching me. I need to adjust to not having my usual powers.

[No, she wouldn't care if her teacher is a mouse, because Lucy finds animals more tolerant than humans most of the time.]

I'm sorry, Mickey. I don't know anything about swords, but I do know a guy who'd probably train with you. His name's Yamamoto. I feel like you two might get along.

[He looks amused, then squints at his own phone, puts his glasses on and tries to make out what Mickey's familiar is.]

What is your familiar? You could name them based off their personality?

[ A mouse... musketeer...

Okay. This might as well happen today. Corwin supposes he's seen stranger things than this. ]

I'll take you up on the offer of a sparring partner. I just have to ask... [ How to put this delicately? ] ...You're not the size of an actual mouse, are you? Because while my aim is good, I'm not sure I could hit a target that small.

[scotch_egg]

[he just stares. And stares and stares and stares. And then stares some more.]

Bloody hell.

I cannot believe this.

[more staring]

Just what in god's name are you?
