[ As the video feed began to engage, the image swirled away from a brief glimpse of Will's face, to a fascinating view of a ceiling. Anyone familiar with the offices in the Perimeter Guard buildings might recognize the ceiling; otherwise ... enjoy the paint. ]

Good morning. [ He began in a soft voice, stopping and awkwardly amending. ] Err Good afternoon. [ The concept of time and Will maintained a fairly hands off relationship. ]

My name is Will Graham and I serve as an advisor on monsters and monster encounters for the Perimeter Guard. I am also putting together an introductory course on the subject, though that's not important at the moment.

I am reaching out to the network as a whole because I'm compiling notes on monster encounters in this world. I've experienced a few myself, but was hoping to hear from the rest of the population about your experiences?

Also I'm interested in hear about the monsters or threats that are unique to your homeworlds. I mean, never know what the portal might bring through right? [ Just a little ball of sunshine there William. ]

So ... uhm ... if you have any anecdotes or notes and are willing to share, I'd like to hear them.

[ There was an awkward pause, before he wrapped up the communication. ] You can respond here or if you'd rather talk in person, I'll be in my office most of today.

...Had a giant bird kidnap me once. She was looking for her baby, though. Just happened that her song also apparently had an effect on younger people as well. [ Yuri's cheeks puff a bit, unimpressed with admitting that that was what had happened at all. But he couldn't exactly deny that it had- that wouldn't be useful, either. ] There were also these lizard things, when I first showed up here that tried to take a chunk out of me. And then like, a puma, but really really big- out in the jungle. Also rock golems. We blew some up. There was also a giant dragon thing around for awhile, but it was kind of... sweet, really. Big and a little bit dumb and more dangerous for not knowing where it's feet were than actually harmful.

[ This is all ... curious and Will is busy taking notes as Yuri talks. ]

Can you tell me some more about the dragon-like-creature? Is it still around?

[bespredel]

Dunno. Last I saw of it it was being lead out of the city because these other monsters were trying to eat it for it's sweet dopey nature. Pretty sure it got away, though. Headed out somewhere deep into the jungle.

Too bad really, would've made an awesome pet.

[ There was a long pause, before Will remarked. ]

Not so sure I'd want to be responsible for cleaning up after it.

[bespredel]

...Okay. Fair point.

[ Yuri's brows scrunch together in disgust as he considers that aspect of having an awesome behemoth dragon as a pet. ]

Probably bankrupt yourself feeding it, too. But still. You should have seen it. So cool.

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

That is sort of the point of me asking about it. [ If he sounds a little prickish just then its ... regretfully normal for Will. ]

I didn't see it, but I'd like to hear about it, in as much detail, as you might remember.

[ He paused and then tried putting on some manners. ]

For instance, you said it wasn't considered much of a threat. Was it a herbivore?

[bespredel]

Uuugh, it was awhile ago, and I didn't spend that much time with it so I don't know how much detail I have to tell you. It was big; like, really big. Small hill big? Not Godzilla big but- big. I don't know what it ate, I didn't really see that part. But it was friendly, once you showed it you weren't really a threat to it. It didn't seem to want to willfully hurt anyone, anyway. It just sort of- didn't always know where it's big feet were, you know? What were more of a threat were the lizard things that were trying to take advantage of it's gentle nature and bite chunks out of it. [ Yuri wrinkles his nose, frowning. Nature can be pretty cruel. ] Those came out of the sewer systems.
