[Newt has certainly gotten much better with the device technology since his arrival. No fumbling, no odd framing this time. Instead he's trying to be rather professional as the camera comes on to send out the broadcast.]

Greetings, Wonderland and a good day to you. After the recent event with the space station, I found myself still in possession of a rather delightful creatures called a pyjack. I can't help but be curious if I'm the only one that found myself housing a space creatures.

Actually I'm curious about any creatures any might be caring for here in Wonderland. It is rather my area of expertise and I'm curious if any would be willing to let me observe and study their pets and creatures that I might continue my work here. Thank any and all for even considering this.

Which leads me to my second point today. In studying my pyjack, I've learned that they, or at least this one, seems to have a desire for obtaining bits and pieces of technology. I've no idea what most of them go to not having a knowledge of what most consider modern and advanced technology. If you're missing anything of the sort, there will be a basket outside of 926 on the ninth floor. I do apologize ahead of time, and please feel free to let me know if you are missing anything and I can try and check around for things.

Again, thank you all for your time.

[He's seen this guy around, but he's pretty sure he hasn't talked to him yet.]

huh. you got to keep something from there too?

[Which really begs the question of whether all of that actually was real.]

[video]

[mr_englishguy]

I did. A living creature as well. I'm very excited.

[And it shows in his bright smile, the way he keeps glancing off camera, likely tracking the creatures.]

Does that happen often? Might I ask what you kept?

[video]

[punful]

heh. not bad.

uh, well. friend of mine managed to get a plant back to wonderland. thought that was kinda just a one-off thing, since he's got methods. but uh. then i realized i'd kinda...accidentally checked out a holographic star chart from the archives and...never returned it?

[He chuckles a bit.]

not looking forward to those library fees.

[video]

[mr_englishguy]

Methods. That's interestingly vague. [Not that he plans to ask more, willing to get what answers he could but didn't push for.]

Well then, that is quite the find. [And not entirely realizing he means he may have stolen it, but Newt wouldn't have minded. He laughs at that though.]

Better than me walking away with what might be someone's pet.

[video]

[punful]

i pride myself on being interestingly vague. never vaguely interesting.

[Absolutely not.]

yyyyeah, heh, that would be unfortunate. it kinda begs the question of whether all that stuff was actually real.

[video]

[mr_englishguy]

You seem quite a bit more than vaguely interesting, and this has been a short conversation.

[Newt always does enjoy talking to new people.]

Or they manifested the items like the closet does. How would we ever know which it was?

[video]

[punful]

anyone can be interesting when you don't really know them.

[He shrugs.]

no real way of knowing, i guess. i'm not gonna stress myself thinking too hard about it.

I've got some rabbits. They aren't anything like the pyjacks from the space station, though! They're pretty normal.

video;

[mr_englishguy]

I admit, I've never examined rabbits. Some near me kept them but, not to be upsetting, but not as pets. I'd be delighted to watch them any time that you wouldn't mind. Just to observe their habits for a bit.

[plutonicideals]

[She makes a face about people keeping bunnies for anything other than pets, but brightens up as the conversation moves on.]

Sure. I've got four of them, but they're all girls. Um. I had a lot more before though, because they kind of... breed a lot... really fast...

[mr_englishguy]

[It's part of the English countryside, but he isn't going to go into further detail.]

So that isn't merely a rumor? I've never had experience with that. I could see then keeping only one sex then. Did you keep them before this place as well?

video;

[plutonicideals]

Nope, not a rumor. I didn't keep them, either. I lived in New York City, so we didn't have that much room for anything.

video;

[mr_englishguy]

Oh well, a nice thing for you to be able to have here. Did you ask for them, or are they native or a result of something here?

[Bucky figures his pet isn't exactly what the guy is looking for, but he does have a question for someone who seems to know a lot about creatures. He flicks the camera on, angles it at his face. He smiles.]

Is that any pet or just the unusual ones?

[He bends down to scoop up the saddest cat ever and then adjusts the phone so Newt can see her better. She's purring, acting quite happy.]

Looks like I mistreat her, but I promise she's always looked this way. Name's Sugar.

video

[mr_englishguy]

Certainly any animals here in Wonderland. Even those that might seem usual, I wonder if they're different here than they might be in other worlds, different than my own certainly.

[And then the cat is picked up, and Newt just stares for a long time, his expression touched and a bit in awe.]

What a precious darling. She's quite adorable, and the name suits. [Coming from a guy who named his pyjak Andy though, who knows what that means.]

[readytocomply]

[Oh. Bucky almost preens at the compliments the man offers Sugar. She is adorable and sweet. He likes this guy already.]

I'm not sure. What are cats like where you're from?

[He pauses, moving towards his door.]

Why don't we meet up somewhere and you can meet us both in person?

[mr_englishguy]

We had barn cats to keep mice out of the grain for our hippogriffs. I suspect quite like the one you have, though a bit larger.

I would like that. Quite a bit. Where would work best for you?

[Even as he asks, he's grabbing his jacket he often wore - it held his wand, after all - and headed for the door. Andy perks up, moving to follow in his wake.]

[readytocomply]

Let's meet outside. In front of the maze.

[He could meet Sugar and then she could play in the grass. If she wanted. Sometimes she preferred to lay around.

Bucky tucks a few of her fuzzy ball toys and treats in his pocket, taking a bottle of water with him in case she gets thirsty. He lets Sugar follow behind him at her own pace until she gets fussy and he has to pick her up. He's a little slower getting there, so Newt beats him.]

Hey. [He lifts the grey cat in his arms.] This is Sugar and I'm Bucky. Nice to meet ya.

[mr_englishguy]

That would be splendid. See you there.

[Newt is certainly already there, a bit overdressed as he tends to be with his jacket on. Nearby there's a creature dangling from a low hanging branch, using his tail to dangle there, watching the world.]

The pleasure is all mine, Bucky, and to you as well, Sugar.

[Smiling as he took in the kitten and how pretty she was.]

I'm Newt, and hanging about over there is Andy. I acquired him at the space station and he seems content to stay.

A few months ago, someone mentioned something about a big snake-like creature in the lower levels of the mansion.

( video )

[mr_englishguy]

[Perhaps it is wrong, but Newt perks up then.]

Oh. Oh my. Have you heard anything about where it might have come from?

( video )

[lamiae]

[ she shakes her head. she hasn't heard a thing since it was mentioned on the network. ]

I'm not sure, but I think someone might've been keeping it as a pet?

( video )

[mr_englishguy]

Oh!

[It's probably not the best of reactions that Newt sort of perks up at that.]

I wonder then what becomes of such creatures should people leave, or lose control of them.

[A large creature might get out of control, after all.]

( video )

[lamiae]

That's a good question... I have a pet rabbit, and I'd hope one of my friends would take Bugs in if I ever left.

( video )

[mr_englishguy]

Well, if I'm still here should that time come, I will most certainly be there for... Bugs, you said?

[Nope, he doesn't get that reference.]
