Video @splash
[There's a lot of water drops on the camera before someone wipes it off. The amount of wet red hair that follows isn't better for visibility, but someone is definitely in water at least up to their chest.
The voice is clear, thank god.]
This place is so fascinating! Have anyone else been displaced like this in other places? How many realities does even exist?
[Another wipe of a (webbed?) hand over the camera, and there's more visibility. There's a smiling face of a man in his mid-twenties with odd scars on his cheeks and fully black eyes.]
Are there any humans here that are just humans? Or do you all know magic? Do you know about non-human beings back in your world? If so, what do you think about them? If you're a human with no magic, do you wish you had such powers? Do you have any other abilities that make you more than the average person?
If you're non-human, do you hide that at home? Or do you get along with them? Is it weird to be open with it here? Are there a lot of different non-humans or just a few? Are your vampires dead or alive? Do other weres than wolves exist? Fae? Have you ever fought humans? Do you know any divines?
Do you like the sea?
[He laughs, and the camera bobs under the surface thanks to that. He quickly pulls it up again with a 'whoops'.]
Now the most important two questions! What can you tell me about the aquarium and the hydroponics garden?
...and can I buy a bunch of portable phone chargers and plastic bags from someone in exchange for fish?

Yeah. Just human. Just with a suit and all.
I knew one guy--kinda--with magic. He was creepy. Flew through me.
[Shudder. CREEPY.]
And a girl. Uh. Woman. She was cool, though. But, yeah, magic stuff doesn't sound all that fun from what I've seen.

[He's imagining a business suit.]
He flew through you? Was he a ghost?
Re: video
Nah, I think he was just trying to be a dick.
[Vision: you're kind of a dick. Just sayin'. ]
no subject
With wiring and stuff? What does it do?
[Hey at least now the fishboy is curious.]
...ghosts tend to be dicks too, but I get you.
no subject
It harnesses the power of Pym particles, you see, so it--Uh. I mean, I can shrink down really small in it.
AND big. I can get real big.
[Because no dude wants to admit he's good at being small.]
Yeah? You know a lot of ghosts?
no subject
What, so you can use a suit to be small as a pixie? Or large as a... what? Giant?
[Lookit him grinning. This was cool!]
What is a Pym particle, then? I've never heard of that!
...and I know one, so I guess that's not enough to judge.
no subject
They're, you know, subatomic particles. Like quarks. But, you know, proprietary.
Seriously? You know an actual ghost. Like. Caspar, woooooooooo kind of stuff?
no subject
Quarks sounds like some kind of food. I don't think I know, honestly.
[Pause.]
Yeah! Less Casper and more 'I killed myself and now I stalk these halls like a hobo', though.
no subject
Wait. ]
Quarks are subatomic particles. I was a Mech E myself, but, you know, there's some physics in it. I'm more of an applied science guy.
[Pure science is for NEEEEERDS.]
So, like, a discorporeal freeloader. Great. Sounds fun.
no subject
He obviously didn't pay attention in underwater science class.]
I have no idea what any of that means.
no subject
They're just, you know, really small stuff that holds all the matter in the universe together.
[See? Man, he should go into teaching, he's so good at this!]
no subject
[Not so easy.]
no subject
I mean, I've seen magic--or I guess that's what you'd call it--and it's totally TOTALLY different.
no subject
no subject
Magic is like...[Prepare to be amazed at his wavy hand gestures, which is as close as he can get to whatever Scarlet Witch does.] Like that. Only, you know, something happens.
no subject
You don't just wave your hands and things happen. You pull energy from different sources and mold them.
