[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.

[corruptedsave]

Well, all my goat has been saying is "baa" and other goat noises.

[Alas, Chara will never know what their familiar has to say. Probably mostly calling Chara names or something rude though.]

[kohaku_river]

They might prove useful. ( Maybe? He hopes? ) I'm Kohaku, but you can call me Haku. I'm new too.

[corruptedsave]

Hm. I'm Chara, nice to meet you [They guess.] Haku.

[kohaku_river]

Hello, Chara. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

[corruptedsave]

[They stop themselves from saying "Old enough" because that would be rude and for now they need to make friends more than enemies.]

What if I did mind? [They laugh a little.] Anyway I'm like... twelve? I stopped keeping track after awhile.

[kohaku_river]

Then you wouldn't have to answer. ( Haku can be rather flat and blunt at times, though he means well. )

Which makes you sound older than twelve.

[corruptedsave]

I've been told that I do that sometimes, sound older than I am.

It's a bad habit of mine.

[kohaku_river]

There's nothing wrong with that. Maturity occurs at different ages - and sometimes not at all.

[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.

[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 I know that, I have a few uh... [What word to use here?] Friends back home who are a bit immature.

[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.

[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.]

[kohaku_river]

I do too. ( He may not consider them friends - more like acquaintances. But the immaturity is likely similar. ) I try not to listen to them.

[corpsewarblade]

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

...It's seriously weird.

[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. ]

[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]

Haha, good advice. I'll listen to them for fun though.
