[ A video feed of a ferret sitting very primly in a pet bed, surrounded by a variety of snacks. There's a scrap of what appears to be silk right on her paws. She stares into the camera down her nose, her head held high, then she snakes forward to turn the feed off.

(She is expecting everyone to be so jealous of her Christmas haul. It has not quite struck her that this gesture might have made ZERO SENSE.

A text message is right below the video window:]

[ ... what... ]

Never heard of Sampetra. It doesn't come up on google either

Cute video BTW. This Christmas was better than the last?

That's a nice pile of loot there, but the island name isn't familiar.

wow cute!! you got a lot of really neat stuff for christmas, huh?

hey, i got you something too! how should i get it to you?

[icy_heavens]

From Lyall, I'm guessing, since it's more practical than anything the Pulses are giving out.

[Yeah, that's about the extent of his commenting on your gifts, Stella. The regal gesture is lost on him. Because you're a ferret.]

Can't find anything on Sampetra.

[ Oh, what a sweet looking ferret this person appears to have.

That is Daylen's assumption. That this person has taken a video of their ferret looking seemingly pleased with its seasonal gifts. ]

Are you sure that is the correct spelling, and that is the name of the island as a whole and not some local name for part of it? Petra, for what it is worth, is a place in Jordan. Petra also means rock or stone I think in Latin.

[She stares down at the message for a long time.]

Desert and oases?

I've never heard of it, but it sounds kind of Mediterranean!

Romsca didn't get along with lizards.

I'm glad you like it :)

[Even though he's in the other room. Same deal as hers with contacting him, okay? It's just easier.

And cuter.]

I did try to look up Sampetra, however, and found nothing online. This leads me to believe it doesn't exist in this world.
