[At first the shot is of something green and yellow striped before an "oh" is heard and the visuals become blurry as the device is moved to show...

A kid, probably no older than 12, with short brown hair and crimson eyes who has a slight smile on their face before they actually talk.]

So, this place is certainly something isn't it? Also, I'm just wondering if anyone here knows how to care for a goat, since I seem to now be in possession of one.

( He is drawn to the other's youth. Another child is trapped in a supernatural web, it seems, and he wants to help. )

Is the goat a male or a female?

[corruptedsave]

[This kid seems to be taking the whole thing in stride, as if ending up in weird places is just another day for them.

Or they're really good at hiding any bad emotions. Who knows.]

Huh, you know I never thought to check.

[But they turn the camera towards their familiar and it very obviously doesn't have teats, at least from the angle the shot is being taken from.]

Pretty sure it's a guy goat though? Or maybe it's neither.

[kohaku_river]

( All the same, maybe he can help him stay calm. Panicking won't do either of them any good. )

If they are female, you must be cautious with them around male goats - or you will have kids.

( Cute, but not exactly wanted in this situation. )

Good. He might be aggressive or defensive. Don't let him headbutt you.

[corruptedsave]

[They totally make a face at the mention of more goats. They have enough goats with just the one.]

It hasn't headbutted me yet, tried to eat my sweater but that's it.

[kohaku_river]

( All things considered, he can understand the feeling. )

Have you been able to speak to them yet?

[corruptedsave]

... It's a goat, you can talk at a goat but not to it.

[Also they don't have animal magic unless familiars can talk??? Chara hasn't tried, beyond telling the goat to not eat their clothes.

Which didn't work. Also, the goat can be heard bleating in the background now.]

[kohaku_river]

( His familiar is like him - in his true form, at least. Maybe that's why Haku can communicate with him. )

Everyone has a voice. You just have to understand the language.

[corpsewarblade]

Yeah, 'something' sure is one word for it...

I'm guessing by 'goat' you mean your familiar, right? Don't think they work exactly like normal animals would.

[corruptedsave]

Well I am trying to use nice words for this place.

[They grin as they say that.]

I guess that's what it is? I thought only like witches and stuff like that had familiars though.

[corpsewarblade]

Yeah, well, given we're all supposed to be learning magic and junk, guess we all have familiars now.

...It's seriously weird.

[corruptedsave]

Is it?

I mean compared to some stuff I went through back home, it's not that weird.

[corpsewarblade]

Oh yeah? What kinda stuff?

I mean for me, magic wasn't like, a thing where I was from.

[corruptedsave]

Monsters and magic, and monsters who use magic.

[Said so casually too, also leaving out the whole being able to reset time deal too.]

That sounds a little boring, magic is pretty cool. Even if back home humans couldn't use it.

[whatsamada]

[Huh, there was another person around the same age as him...]

I don't really know but all you have to do is to brush it and let it eat grass right?

[Because he sure doesn't know a thing about taking care of farm animals.]

[corruptedsave]

[Oh another kid, good. Good.]

I guess so, although it's apparently my familiar? So that might mean it needs special stuff maybe?

[They have no clue about this, the goats they knew were kind of bipedal and could take care of themselves.]

[whatsamada]

I suppose? I think Rent-A-Horse might be able to help you? It is a ranch so the owners might be able to give you some ideas of how to take care of farm animals?

[Because Ken really is clueless here.]

Although, it shouldn't be too difficult. It's just like taking care of a pet, you need to feed and care for it.

[corruptedsave]

Thanks, I'll check them out and ask questions and stuff.

[They can both be clueless together!]

I've never had a pet before though.

[whatsamada]

Really, you haven't? Then you're missing out! Having one can be a lot of fun and especially when you can consider them life long companions!

[Actually on that note?]

You can even consider your goat to be one too.

[corruptedsave]

I wasn't considered responsible enough to have one.

[Is all they have to say on the subject, which isn't the full truth. But the truth is something they'd rather keep to themselves.]

A goat is a weird pet to have though.

[grylls]

I can show you how to milk one and make cheese.

[ Any goats he's found are wild though. His world's Yokohama is kind of a strange place, since people dump all kinds of animals in the forest he lives in, which makes it very interesting. ]

[corruptedsave]

[They're just going to turn their phone around to show off the goat. Which is very visibly without teats.]

I don't think I could milk it if I wanted to.

[grylls]

[ Yeah, that'd be an obstacle there. ]

I only know how to butcher and cook male goats, so I may not be of help.

[corruptedsave]

Yeah, since it's my familiar. Eating it is probably a no no.

[But they do find the idea amusing, and can be heard chuckling.]

[grylls]

Your familiar should largely care for themselves. Mine hunts its own meals at night.

[ one moment, and he pulls what appears to be a little sleeping flying squirrel out of his pocket. During the day, it is cute and sleepy. But it's nocturnal, and it's a face-sucking squirrel-bat monster called a Nobusuma. ]

[corruptedsave]

It should? I would think one that isn't exactly known as a type of animal that is too great at caring for itself when domesticated might be different?

[They've turned their device back to themselves, so they can see the squirrel and they make a slight "aw" sound at the sleepy little thing.]
