[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?

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 ]

He's got a soft heart?

Is that dangerous?

Not at all, especially when it's metaphorical.

Oh.

I didn't know that was a metaphor.

Well hey, now you do! And the more you know, the better.

I guess so.

Anyway, be sure to bring a bit of food to the holiday party. That way we'll all have something to eat.

I don't have any.

Then go to the store and buy a bag of crisps. It's not hard.

How...?

[KAGEROU. You take that money you never used from when you got here, and buy food.]

Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Have you not been to a store before?

[ is he gonna have to take the robot shopping ]

I went in once. But they told me to leave after a while.

[He didn't buy anything. He just kind of poked around uselessly.]

You probably went to an awful store then. We'll go shopping at a better one sometime soon.

[ yes, we. ]

"We"?

Why "we"?

Cause shopping's always best with multiple people.

If you have more people, do they not kick you out?

What? No! Why d'you think that?

Because no one else was kicked out.

And they were all in a group.

Out of simple curiosity, were you in big robot form when they kicked you out?

[ because that might be the problem ]

Also, did you buy anything? Some places don't let you loiter.

No. Human. I wouldn't fit otherwise.

... I didn't buy anything, either.

Then that's probably why. Some shops don't like it when you loiter.

What is... loiter?
