[As the recording starts, there's the faint sound of movement in the background as Gundham is exploring a bit of forest.]

So, as it seems our 'hosts' - if we can truly call them that - are intent on keeping us here, it would behoove us to acquaint ourselves with the surroundings. I will say that as far as prisons go, this is not the worst. However, I do have a question. Are any that can access this familiar with the local wildlife? I've been attempting to observe but having just arrived, I'm sure my scent is unfamiliar enough to have them on edge.

However... there is wildlife here. That in itself is... unexpected.

The animals here are definitely strange, but I know I also seem pretty strange to a lot of people here.

A lot of the flora around seems pretty normal, but there's also a lot I don't recognize. Which makes sense considering that this place has magic.

[The simple fact that whoever this is casts herself as an outcast does a lot to soften Gundham's normal bravado.]

Hmm... I'm still not sure how much of what was told to us I truly believe. Given my own... experience, I find myself more skeptical of such claims than I would have been even a year ago.

[hopticulture]

[yup!! that sure is Haru. one genuine outcast coming up.]

I don't know...us prey animals can be pretty perceptive of our surroundings, and though I do feel trapped here everything I've experienced so far also feels pretty real. The magic included, even if I find it still hard to believe.

[gundhamster]

Indeed, th-- [Hang on. Processing...]

I'm sorry, what did you call yourself?

[hopticulture]

Hm? What do you mean?

[gundhamster]

You said... "we" prey animals. ...Correct?

[hopticulture]

Oh! Yes you heard correct.

I'm a rabbit.

[gundhamster]

[Gundham just stares at his phone for a long moment.]

...Excuse me?

[Sorry Haru, he's having a tough time processing the idea of a talking rabbit.]

[hopticulture]

[the sound of her tapping her tiny rabbit finger on the speaker of her phone.]

Was the signal bad or something?

I said I was a rabbit. I don't feel like repeating myself again if the connection is bad...

[gundhamster]

[Gundham just gives his phone an incredulous look.]

The connection is fine. I was hoping there was some hidden meaning to your words I was simply unaware of. Rabbits cannot speak. Claiming to be one is... odd to say the least.

[hopticulture]

No, no hidden meaning, I'm just a rabbit.

[it really isn't special or odd.]

Where I come from we speak, and walk on two legs and don't walk around naked. I know here things are different.

[gundhamster]

[The way Gundham squints at his phone it wouldn't be too out of character for it to burst into flames. He's having a very hard time wrapping his mind around such an idea.]

...such things would run counter to all known natural laws however...
