[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.

Oh! I've never run into anything like this so...

[It's not a bad bird call. She's about to say it's a little rude not to just talk to them but -- well, they likely don't talk anymore than the horses did.

That's a disturbing thought she doesn't dwell on long.]

If you're worried about your scent however, you could try rolling around on the ground? Wolves used to do that to disguise their scent when hunting.

[gundhamster]

If my aim were simply to observe, I would do just that. However, I'd prefer that the wildlife become more accustomed to my scent and see me for who I am. Besides, I would prefer not to endanger the physical vessels of my Dark Devas by inviting predators too quickly. Such a conflict would only end in needless bloodshed.

[beautifulbeast]

... Your what now.

[gundhamster]

[There's a moment of overblown theatrical laughter.]

My Four Dark Devas of Destruction are demon beasts of the highest calibur, their physical forms are but temporary vessels waiting for the day that their might is needed and they usher in ARMAGEDDON!!

[Along with his message he attaches a picture of a rather large and fat golden hamster nibbling contentedly on a sunflower seed.]

[beautifulbeast]

[The moment the picture hits her phone Juno shouts out loud to the phone itself:]

OH! A HAMSTER!

[What breed she isn't sure but she's had hamster classmates in the past. True it's odd seeing one so... well, in the buff. The horses were too so it isn't as much of a shock as it could be otherwise.]

[gundhamster]

[There's a long moment where Gundham doesn't really know how to respond to that level of enthusiasm, but but he appreciates it anyway.]

N-Not just any hamster, he is Cham-P, one of the Four Dark Devas of Destruction. Within him lies a demon ready to unleash war and ruin upon his foes!

[beautifulbeast]

... Oh. That sounds pretty serious.

[All that in a tiny hamster body? She's sort of amazed really even if part of her casts doubt.]

[gundhamster]

Y-Yes! Only those chosen by the Evil Eye can glimpse at his true glory!

[beautifulbeast]

I see.

[She rolls this over in her mind, thinking on it a moment.]

Wouldn't it be easier then to keep your ham -- your Four Dark Devas, that is -- in a safer place while you make friends with the wildlife?

[Because she assumes that's what he's doing out there in the woods yelling at birds?]

[gundhamster]

[There's a low chuckle.]

I appreciate your concern, but have no fear. The Devas are more than capable of defending themselves, however that would also require an assailant to get past me, and there simply is no chance of that happening.

[Despite his facade that at least sounds genuine. Not bravado, just a fact.]

[beautifulbeast]

Oooh. You're good at fighting then? I don't really know much about the people here but different animals are better fighters by nature. Is it that way with people?

[gundhamster]

I am not familiar with the ins and outs of formal combat training, however given the results of a classmate of mine, I would likely infer that it is more a matter of coaching. However, my power lies not in the physical force of arms but something more immaterial.

[beautifulbeast]

Magic?

[gundhamster]

Knowledge.

[No, he's not going to elaborate.]

[beautifulbeast]

... That's a little underwhelming.

[gundhamster]

Think of it however you wish, it matters not to me.
