[when the video starts, it's out of focus so badly that nothing but a light blur on dark is visible. after a moment, mi ho finally pulls her face back enough from the camera to fall into focus. she is way too happy to be here.]

Ah! It works!

[her grin widens and she sits back a bit. it's now apparent that the comm is resting on the ground.]So

You can find hotdogs and hamburgers and stuff around too. It's pretty great.

Did Larcheezi make you human too?

Hotdogs and Hamburgers? I don't... I don't eat dog. I like cow!

I don't think I'm human yet...

Who's Larcheezi?

[gatewhatgate]

Hotdogs aren't made of dogs. ...I think.

You sure look human.

Larcheezi's the scary voice lady that brings people here.

Oh. Well that's alright then. As long as they are meat, I am sure they will be tasty.

Really? Thank you! [she grins at him] But it didn't work last time, so I hope this time is better. [she pauses, only just now realising that he asked was she made a human *too*] Oh! You aren't human either? Are you a spirit? Or a god? Or a demon...

Ah, scary voice lady... So she is like the Grandmother goddess, right? She's giving me a chance, too!

[gatewhatgate]

I, uh, don't know what I was. I'm human now, though. You really want to be one, huh?

Yeah, she gives people vacations and stuff. I dunno about the "grandmother" thing though. Wouldn't that mean there'd be little grandbaby Larcheezies running around? Oh man, that'd be weird.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Oh... That's kind of sad. Well, I know lots of things about demons and spirits and creatures and monsters and things, so maybe I've met one of your kind before?

Ah! You're really honestly human? How wonderful~ I hope I will be soon too!

And yes... human... [she hesitates, as if she was going to add to that statement, but seems to stop herself and smile instead, though it isn't as true a smile as what she had been giving before]

Vacations... Like going away for a while? I don't need one of those...

Grandbaby Larcheezies....

[gatewhatgate]

Maybe! I think I'm - I was some sort of monster. Except I'm human now? I could just look human, it's a little confusing. It's my name too - Monster! What's yours?

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Oh! Oh! I'm a monster, too!

I don't have a human name, really... I'm a Gumiho! Gu means nine and MiHo means tails~

[gatewhatgate]

You don't look like a monster.

I've never heard of one of those before. Do you fight adventurers a lot?

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

That's because Grandma gave me a human body. In the moonlight you can see my tails, though!

Adventurers? No, not really. Men um... avoid me, and women just say nasty things. Sometimes bad things try to kill and collect us, though. But Grandma has always protected me.

[gatewhatgate]

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

You can go invisible? Just to humans, or to Monsters too? I know lots of monsters humans can't see.

Yeah... But so far everyone has been really nice, here. No one has claimed I am going to eat them, or anything!

Grandma can do some great things, but... she is not always so nice. [she did lock mi ho up for 500 years after she failed to become human the first time...]

[gatewhatgate]

Oh, no invisible. I get shrouded in mysterious darkness. Back home I was always shrouded in mysterious darkness. It got old really fast.

I know! Everybody's so nice here.

Yeah, some of my friends back home did mean things a lot too.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Oh, I see. Is that why I can only hear your voice? I don't like darkness much either. It's always best when the moon is nice and bright.

[she frowns] I think that's a theme, with monsters... But don't worry! I will be nice to you! We can even eat... [she tries to recall what they were called] not-dogs, and things.
