VIDEO; UN: SMOKING_BOMB

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera is swimming about in the water, hasn't used the spell to breathe in it yet, because he's too startled by whatever the hell is following him. It's large, long necked, with a python-shaped face, strange webbed ears that somewhat resemble axolotl gills, and flippers that look sort of like river otter paws. Upon first glance, it could just be a giant salamander, or maybe you think it's an oversized river otter, or a mutant crocodile. It is seemingly stalking the poor teen, and he's trying to capture it on video or get a good picture of it.

Honestly, it's just playing with him and he doesn't understand it. So, here's a post going up on AOL.

There are two pictures posted on the network, accompanied by the sound of some heavy breathing and water splashing.

There's no shot initially of who is recording this video, but there is a sense of excitement in the air.]

Has anyone seen the strange monster living in the lake we all arrived in? It wont stop following me and I can't get a good picture of it!

[Here's another picture. Gokudera is having a hard time sharing what his familiar looks like.]

I'm pretty sure my glasses are in there somewhere...

Huh, I never thought of it that way, pretty interesting.

[He pauses, thinking here as he walks along to head down to get a ride to the lake.]

I guess stuff like rabbit's feet and that, if it's like that maybe it's lucky, creatures could be too right? Being a little superstitious is one thing, I am looking for anything lucky before he gets too out of whack without his horoscopes and lucky items.

So... charms?

Lucky animals would be pigs, crickets, rabbit, but it depends on the kind of luck, I think. There are some that are more lucky when it comes to financial gain, others for fertility, some for health... things like that.

Yeah, I should have guessed it would be complicated, I was hoping I could get someone with animal magic to talk some animal who is considered lucky to hang out with the guy or maybe get a familiar that is better luck than a night sparrow so mine doesn't hide when he's around. This place doesn't seem to have anything I'm familiar with as being lucky. Maybe if you see something, let me know?

[bakudan_bambino]

Sure. In the meantime, look out for anyone with animal magic and they might be able to help you? Maybe the native people of this world know a bit more about what creatures are lucky here.

Good idea, thanks, man. Almost there, let's if we can get your glasses back.

[bakudan_bambino]

Alright.
