[He wanted time to familiarize himself with this place. He needed to know if anyone else from the Inquisition had been brought across as well, and then to find them if they had. But first, he'd looked through the information they'd given him - the neat print on the strange white paper - and now, suddenly, Maxwell had a much more immediate, personal worry.
The video opens on his face; his expression a mixture of incredulity and concern.]
Hello. [It feels awkward, addressing nothing, but he pushes on.] My name is Maxwell and I have a question, and there doesn't seem to be anyone else to ask.
[The camera turns and fixes on a portion of the pages he'd been given. He points to a section, chases a sentence with his fingertip as he reads it aloud.] 'Bears will always find him.' [Then the feed swings back to him.]
Why would anyone want this? How many bears do you even have in this place, to hope to make this useful? And do they just-- roam about?[He glances away, as if one might have suddenly sneaked up on him, then back.] Are these abilities negotiable in any way?

Does it state if the bears will be friendly or not?
no subject
They will not, according to this. Which makes even less sense to me. What good is an angry animal of any sort? Why not change it, if they have such power?

If it's any consolation, I've been here a couple months now and haven't seen one of these 'bears' yet.
Then again, uh, maybe you'll be bringing more into existence?

I think you should be asking if the bears are the ones open to negotiations. Um.
no subject
They aren't, if they're anything like the ones where I'm from. I've tried, believe me.

probably because he's been laughing really hard right now. sorry maxwell.]
W...what-- oh my god -- what kind of bear?
no subject
It would, to be fair, be hilarious to him also, being almost anyone else. Especially, in a few special cases.]
It doesn't specify. I don't suppose by chance it means something else here? [Like something tiny. Harmless. This world's nugs.]

It could mean teddy bears. I don't know. Guess it's up for interpretation?
no subject
I expected as much, but had to ask.
Given all the responses I've gotten - [some more notable than others] - I suppose that could be true. Unlikely, given my luck, I think, but possibly.

[But more importantly...] --Huh! Don't suppose you might be an ancestor of mine?
[Not that it was possible, since it was an adoptive name. And uh, that said adopted father was also a priest. Thank goodness for voice functions; this guy doesn't need to see the collar, too.]
no subject
Uh. No. No, I don't imagine so.
I have no children.

Do you have an especial - or ironic - association with bears back home?

Violent and terrifying is another.

Bears? Like the wild animal? [ Why would that even be a super power?? ]
I've been here a bit less than a month, and I've never seen a bear roaming around.

That's an oddly specific ability.
no subject
[Not anymore than usual, anyway.]
And so oddly unhelpful. One would think, if they wish me to do good here, they wouldn't give me an ability so unsuited for doing so.

Or is this a situation where bears do what they always do? Speaking as someone who...has some experience in the "animals attack" field.
no subject
As someone else with experience, I'd guess it's likely to be the latter.
They've never much cared for me, it's merely the guarantee of find them that's new.
