[ The video starts black. Light cuts through in sharp lines, edging in around blades of grass. No, make that fur.

Fur that gains color into browns as it shifts away from blocking the camera's eye. The rabbit hops away down the table, disappearing for a minute. Two. When it comes back in view, it appears to be wearing tiny, lens-free glasses perched precariously on its twitching nose.

The rabbit sits back on its hind legs, ears swiveling forward and paws tucking close to its chest. When it glances toward the camera, it's almost like the rabbit winks. But it couldn't have.

Could it? ]

[ She laughs again at that, a shake in negation traveling through the entirety of her body. ]

< Don't laugh at my dreams! One day I can be a real girl, just like you! >

[wrexy]

Hrn. I might just eat you anyway.

[whatsupcroc]

< Only if you can catch me! >

[wrexy]

Probably not worth it. Too small.

[whatsupcroc]

< You're right. For a guy like you, you'd burn more calories than I've got to give! >

[wrexy]

Heh. The old "don't eat me, I'll give you a stomach ache"?

[whatsupcroc]

< Or at least the old "You'll never catch me alive!" thing! Though I bet I could cause some pretty terrible indigestion and get us both killed. >

[wrexy]

[Laughing now, but only half-joking] You'd be surprised what I can digest.

[whatsupcroc]

< I bet! Still, a stomach can only stretch so far, you know? >

[ The rabbit's ears swivel again, one pointed off to the left, the other more or less facing a speaker. ]

< Can you like... eat metal? >

[wrexy]

Not what I'm designed to eat, but it'd probably come out the other end all right. [Guffaw guffaw, Wrex is a thousand-year manchild]

[whatsupcroc]

< Woah! You're like a space faring super shark! >

[ She's laughing as she says so, imagining Wrex eating to the theme of Jaws. ]

[wrexy]

Heh, I'm starting to amass a collection of things aliens are comparing me to.

[whatsupcroc]

< Isn't it natural? People try to figure out the world based on what they know. New things get worked in based on how we think about them in relation to what we already know! Does anything aliens do remind you of things from home? >

[wrexy]

Hrm. Not much. Most aliens would lose their heads if they were compared to anything on Tuchanka.

[whatsupcroc]

< Why's that? >

[ A curious tilt to her head, nose stretching toward the screen rather than the lens. ]

[wrexy]

Probably something to do with the all the radioactivity. And every sort of beast that can survive in it. [Heheh.] Though turians are ugly enough. They'd at least look the part.

[whatsupcroc]

< Radioactivity is kind of a bummer for most things. You're not a turian... right? That's another species from your universe. >

[ Something else she'd love to see, pending they weren't evil face-devouring mind-controlling body-stealing aliens.

Those just weren't any fun at all. ]

[wrexy]

[That gives him a laugh] Wouldn't be able to live with myself if I was. Well, if I could take my head out of my ass for a damn minute,

[whatsupcroc]

[ Collette laughs in turn. ]

< Are they pretty arrogant? Or more focused on their own stuff going on? >

[wrexy]

Sounds like you've met one. Clever bastards, but they think they run the galaxy because they've got the biggest ships.

[whatsupcroc]

< Not met one of them, just met a few Andalites! They'd probably get along with the guys you're talking about like oil and water. No room for allowing equal footing between two groups so sure they're the best thing this universe has seen! I don't know if the Andalites have the biggest ships out there... but I wouldn't be surprised if they did, for the most part. Thinking they know best and are the most right? Oh, the military has that down to pat. >

[wrexy]

Hah. They aren't kidding when they say evolution repeats itself. Always going to produce pompous idiots.

[whatsupcroc]

< Who're sure they're not anything close to pompous! >

[ Or probably think they have a right to their own superiority complexes. Collette shakes her head, turning to look over her shoulder. ]

< I should probably get going for now. It's been nice chatting with you again Wrex! One day we should do that in person. When I have a little less fur and all! >

[wrexy]

Yeah, All right. Weird alien.
