[The video starts with Tammy sitting cross-legged on her bed, wearing her Christmas sweater, her Furby perched on the bed beside her with it's eyes closed, a small clay statue sitting near it as well. She really needs to look into getting some shelves or something. And though she smiles, there's a clear dark worry in her eyes as she addresses the

A-Ah yes, nothing I haven't dealt with before.

[He gives a bit of a yawn. Most of his time spent in solitude was spent sleeping, until the hunger kept him up.]

I do hope whatever had gone wrong is being sorted out, now. I hate to imagine what exactly had caused all of this. Still, I think these gifts are more than proper compensation! Don't you think?

[You can't even imagine how much she relaxed at that message.]

Doc, we really need to get you somewhere relaxing and tropical for a vacation. If that isn't the first time you've been in the dark for days on end, then your life is entirely too stressful.

And I figure the return of the light is a sign that whatever it was passed, knock on wood. But yeah, the gifts are pretty neat. Been teaching your Furby any new words?

That sounds pleasant! I've never been anywhere tropical, but have heard about the types of flora that can grow there. Er, well I've read about them at least. And I wouldn't say the dark, so much as simply being isolated for days on end. My Furby? Is that the name of this little creature?

I've never been anywhere tropical either, myself, but the pictures of it always look really bright and relaxing. And after the week we've had that sounds pretty damned appealing.

But yeah, you can teach them words. You turn them on by talking to them or touching them, I don't know. I think if it's eyes are open it's on. And it'll pick up words and such. You can teach them their names, is my understanding, but I don't know for sure.

Oh, and they'll talk to one another.

Buckling down like this is a midterm that my grade hinges on.

Though I had to look up what the hell vellum is.

What, no hints from your [ugh] brainbuddy?

It's not been feeling very energetic lately. Even by it's minimal standards.

[And here she mutters.] Small favors.
