Hey. Got a question for all of the tech freaks out there. I know there's plenty of you around.

[It isn't the most formal way to start a message, never mind a request - but even so, there's a briskness to his voice that sounds almost business-like.]

Let's say I want to keep an eye on the names that show up on this thing [a couple of relatively loud taps] along with the new people. Is there a way I can set it up so it... [He hesitates for a fraction of a second, but carries on as if he hadn't.] lets me know somehow when a specific name gets added to it? Or any name, that works too. Just out of interest.

Details would help, but a straight yes or no's better than nothing. I'm not exactly expecting any hand-holding here.

Been asked that before, huh? My bad. [From that reaction, it doesn't take a genius to figure out he hit a nerve, so he's trying to sound disarming. He isn't great at it.] Yeah, just checking. I figured you'd be more like a chimera than that. That's not how animals work.

[ a small sigh. ] It's okay. I should be used to it. 'Half-breeds' are what humans call people with a human parent and a parent from the other world, whether it's a god or a monster or a demon or a.. any other sort of being. My father was a sort of.. nature god.

[ it's the best way he knows how to explain the green man, anyway. ]

...Sure, if you say so. [He's still pretty glad he kept this off video.] So what's the actual word for that, or don't you have one?
