[Video | iPhone] In Which Naivete Dominates

[The Dian couple had planned to stay away from the network. Really. They made pledges and everything.

But the number of responses to others proved that this plan of action wasn't working out.

Isaac opens the video with a bright, dramatic grin. Miria can be spotted making food in the background.]

Hello everyone! So, I've been thinking: what exactly do we know about all this? Have we tried talking to the pol-

Isaac, that got people killed.

Oh, right. Forget that idea, that was a dumb idea. [He rubs his chin in thought.] Alright, what about the aliens? There could be some miscommunication going on here. Like...

Maybe the mutated animals are lost pets!

Exactly! But even if they are evil, war-mongering monsters here to kill everyone we hold dear, why were we chosen? Regardless of the necessity for defenders of Earth, why reincarnates? Why not the military?

Or reincarnated military!

Right! So, thoughts?

Reincarnates? Are you sure that's what we are?

Very sure! Both Miria and I had visions of being dressed in cowboy outfits! On a train!

I really don't think we're dealing with pets here.

What makes you say that?

Six of them tried to kill me the other day. They don't even act like animals, forget pets.

I didn't say they were good pets. Maybe they were trained completely differently from the way w-

TRIED TO KILL YOU?!

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!

DO YOU REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION?!

I'LL GET THE BANDAGES!

[Okay. Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned that.]

It wasn't--

I'm fi--

I'm not--

[Sigh.]

I'm okay! All I got was a few scratches, that's all.

Good! Good.

...You stay safe!

Very safe!

.....

[What is with these two?]

Anyway. The point is that they didn't act like animals.

I don't know if we're supposed to be reincarnations or whatever but we have to deal with the idea that whatever is behind this actually wants us dead.

Well, animals all act different. I don't think they have a specific "animal-mode".

But they are attacking people. Maybe 'cause the aliens told them to. That's definitely bad.

The big question is why are we being hunted down?

I guess that's true, but I don't think birds usually smash through windows and only attack two specific people.

[She frowns over on her end. That is a pretty good question.]

They did set up that negotiation board awhile ago. We must be interfering with something or at least they think we're going to.

...What if there was a bird mafia and they were trying to-

No, forget the birds. Forget the animals. They're attacking us.

So, it's entirely possible there's a large miscommunication. They overreacted and stuff is happening.

A--?

[No, nevermind. Bird mafia theories are not important.]

Overreacted? Whatever they want they've already killed one person that we know about and they're still trying to get the rest of us. We're already way past miscommunication.

[She could say she tried to say that gently, but that would be a lie.]

[There's a long pause and the Dians looks distinctly guilty.

We didn't mean...

It's just... anything that could prevent anyone else from getting hurt or worse... We have to try every possible... thing...

[Oh, god, it's like kicking a puppy. Worse, it's like kicking two puppies.]

I get it. I just... don't think this is going to be something we can talk through with them. I don't like it either.

[She really doesn't. Every instinct she has is telling her she should find some place to hide and wait this out, but she doesn't know if there's any place to hide from this.]

I... guess we understand what you meant.

Still, everyone has to think this through before making any really drastic moves.

Or else the bird mafia-

Miria...

[She sighs, sitting back for a second. Bird mafia comments aside, they have a point. Things were getting serious fast.]

Yeah, we're going to have to make a decision on what to do soon. This isn't going to go away and I think it's only going to get worse from here.

[ He was saddened by this message; and Adrian never could hide his emotions. ]

If only they were pets.

They could be!

You just have to stay optimistic!

[ That optimism cheered him somewhat. ]

That's a nice way to look at it.
