VIDEO

[When video turns on, Jaime doesn't exactly greet the network with a smile, but he doesn't look distinctly unhappy either -- just a little contemplative, in his own way. He still gives the screen a little wave, though, seated comfortably at his desk. It's where he winds up posting most of the time.]

Hey, guys. I was thinking about something the other day, and I figure some people here might have answers. See, back home, me and my family? We went to Church every Sunday, but once I got here...

[He just shrugs with a tiny grimace that says every excuse anyone ever has, but really boils down to: he got lazy.]

Nnnnnnot so much. But I figure that other people here must've gone to something back home, like a Mosque, or Synagogue, or whatever five thousand other religions there's gotta be. Has anyone actually bothered trying to keep it up once you got here? It's probably harder if your religion isn't an Earth religion, but I'm sure you guys have ways of keeping it up. I feel like it'd be kinda hard to just pop into a Church somewhere too, like they'll make as big a deal out of the whole imPort thing as everyone else here.

[He pauses for a second, looking as if he's going to say something, but he seems to change his mind halfway through.]

Oh! And I know there are some people around here who are technically Gods, like we've got at home? But they're still kind of... well, not human, but, I guess, available? Like the New Gods? [He flaps one hand at the camera.] Thaaaat's not really the sort of religious thing I'm talking about, but maybe you guys have your own rituals too.

Both! We can share senses too - see through each other's eyes, for instance - although that takes more concentration.

[That gets a grimace! ]

No, thank heavens. It's more like I can tell what he's thinking when it happens; actually feeling the physical contact would be like... pulling a curtain aside to look out a window, I suppose. I'd have to be in his head. Does that make sense?

Yes! They aren't often cats, though. My sister has an owl, and my mother a lizard.

It's like having your best friend by your side at all times. I don't know how you people can do without them, honestly. It must feel terribly empty inside your heads.

When we're young children, old enough to start learning magicks. And think nothing of it, it's hardly an interrogation!

No, no, they're sort of... formed, from The Bonding Tree. There's a whole ceremony involved, it's a coming of age ritual.

Not at all; he's as much a part of me as I am of him. [In both the literal and figurative sense! There's a pointed mrow somewhere in the background, and Klarion rolls his eyes.]

... Although he can be a terrible nag, sometimes.
