01 ☢ video

[The camera clicks on to reveal a skinny kid with a mess of brown hair. He's holding the tablet in front of him, so the view's a bit shaky; it doesn't help that he's fidgeting and gesturing with his other hand as he speaks, first and foremost being a quick and awkward wave hello.]

Hey. Hello? This is on, right? You know, they should put a light on these things to show they're transmitting. Maybe they do, I didn't really - [Barely a pause as he checks himself, gets back on track.]

Sorry. Hi, my name's Peter. Peter Parker. So I got the welcome tour, and I guess my big question is - where can we get decent food around here?

[Priorities. He got most of the relevant info the other day, anyway. He almost looks like he's done, but then he abruptly remembers something and speaks up again in a rush.] And I made a thing. I mean, I didn't really make it, I just re-made it. I probably messed some of it up, but I guess nobody here's going to know any better, right?

It's for Collette, but I figured anybody could use it. Let me know if you have questions, or just type "help" and it should cover the bases. And don't forget to use your lanterns. [And Peter out - no wait, just kidding. He's half a second from ending the transmission before he stops.]

It's a game, by the way. The thing.

[He's done for real this time, pending an attachment:]

If I put a rabbit inside I could, but I would worry about breaking the potion vials.

Potions? Seriously?

[ Now he knows he's being annoying and nosy, but- ]

Can I ask what kinds?

None at the moment, though I could brew any if they were needed. I have the potion ingredients in my bag as well.

What do they do? I mean, the ones you know how to make.

Explosions, that kind of thing?

[ Because he's sort of assuming we're talking chemistry, here. ]

Some of them explode. Some can change your appearance, or even give you temporary luck. It's magic so anything is possible.

[ Oh. Well, no, that's not really chemistry. ]

Huh. Do you mind - would you mind showing me sometime? I mean, we make potions where I'm from, but the rules are probably a bit - different.

[no, Peter. No it's not]

I would say Muggle-- that is, non-magical-- potions are quite different. But I would be happy to show you whenever you like.

[ Muggle....... ]

Cool. Yeah, that's kind of the idea - if I could see how it works, how it compares to non-magical potions. So I'll just - give you a call? When I'm free, you know, just to check out - that. The potions. [ Except this is a girl and this is something mildly social that's not just video chat, so excuse him being suddenly awkward. ]

I think that sounds like a fantastic idea, Peter. I'll be looking forward to your call.
