[A rare video from the local bird-ninja-robot. Who just sort of looks like a complete nutcase, since he's crouched in a tree.]

[At night.]

[Across from a house - close enough to see in the windows. Where the occupants are putting up a tree and lights.]

[He's also in his rarely used human form, to save on energy. Or look more like a creeper, who knows.]

Everyone is saying something about... 'being together' this month.

Like it's a requirement. You won't be happy, you won't be 'right', if you're alone. It sounds like no one realizes some of us don't have that luxury.

... so what do we do? Just sit here and watch?

[He shakes his head.]

What's 'happy' or 'holiday' about that?

A metaphorical grandchild, obviously!

But who are they?

She's an imPort who lives with me.

Oh.

I've never met her.

I don't think the two of you would get along—she's shouty.

I think you're right.

I don't like shouty.

You'd get along well with Saint Walker and Murray, though. I don't know if Walker'll be at this hypothetical-turned-real Christmas party, but Murray definitely will be.

All the more reason to come!

Who are they?

Do you live with them too?

I do. Saint Walker's a fellow imPort and Murray's a possum.

A... possum?

A small North American marsupial with beady little eyes and an impressive hiss.

Why would you have that?

Walker's rehabilitating him.

What does that mean?

Sometimes an animal gets sick or hurt and can't take care of himself. When you rehabilitate that animal, that means you're taking care of it and helping the animal get better.

Oh.

Why is he doing it to something that's hissing though? You make it sound like they aren't pleasant.

Cause Walker's a big softie at heart. [ there's...just no comment about the pleasant state of possums or not, Murray's nice but some others...yeeeeeeeeeeah ]
