[There's a bit of a crackle before the video clicks in. Mi Ho is staring in concern at the comm, but then smiles brightly]

Ah, good, still works!

[God only knows where she is. In a forest somewhere, where there are stars. It has to be out of the city, then, because they're bright enough to be picked up by the camera

I've been thinking about that too! This vacation is taking forever.

Oh! [she waves at the familiar voice]

You don't have a job either, then? How do you buy enough meat??

Video. Monster, if you have school you don't need a job

Hi!

Well, these things give you money - [ He waves the dog tags. Usually he just asks shopkeepers how they work every time.] and they feed me at school. Sometimes I eat stuff that people leave out too.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Ah- [she grins and waves again when he comes on video, as she's never seen his face before. he looks pretty human to her! Although he has funny eyes.]

Oh, yes. I like mine. [she waves her dogtags back] But I ate a lot of cow and then they said I didn't have enough money to pay for it so I had to wash grills... I am okay at washing grills, though, they said I did it really fast! But I'm not allowed to go back until I have more money...

Humans really leave a lot of food lying around, don't they?

[gatewhatgate]

It's better than Monopoly money! I don't have Monopoly here though.

It's more for us, right?

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

What's Monopoly?

Yes! Though... I guess if I'm supposed to be trying to look human, I should at least try not to eat it when they are looking.

[gatewhatgate]

Monopoly's this board game with money and little businesses and hotels and you race around trying to buy things.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Oh! I see. That sounds like it would be fun. I don't know why you'd want monopoly money, though.

[gatewhatgate]

It's colourful and you can bet with it.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

Oh! I guess that sounds fun. What would you bet on?

How much meat I could eat?

[gatewhatgate]

I dunno about meat, I bet it on my friend's escape! I never won though. When he finally escaped, no one was betting on it. It's probably for the best, I was all out of real Monopoly money.

[foxtrot_mi_ho]

[[Mi ho just happily bobs her head as she listened, completely not understanding.]]

Well, I'm glad your friend escaped. Too bad you didn't win any pretty money, though!

[gatewhatgate]

Yeah! It got really hard to play Monopoly!
