[Video | In a skype window on her laptop]

[blind_devotion]

[The video feed is coming through her laptop, which she's holding out in front of her. She's outside, standing outside her front door, and looking rather uncomfortable.]

Sorry I only use this network when I need help, but, well...I need it. See, I had one of those echo...pulse...things last night. And I don't know what to do with - hey!

[She protests as something large and white enters from the side of the screen. It's a horse's head, aggressively and affectionately nuzzling against her hair. The image oscillates wildly as Alexa tries to fend its affections off while still holding up the laptop.]

Stop it! I can't! Down! Whoa! Uh, stop? Ugh...

[The image stabilizes into Alexa's face, this time with the horse in the background. She's looking pleadingly into the camera.]

Yeah, this happened. I don't know how to take care of a horse - and I have an upstairs apartment, Where am I going to keep her? - so, uh. Help? Any ideas?

No, no, no, she was ALWAYS a pony! And then she grew a horn!

[blind_devotion]

...that can happen!?

[This Numbers thing was just getting weirder and weirder all the time.]

[italktofish]

Yeah! The talking animals are one of the ABSOLUTE BEST PARTS of all this!

[blind_devotion]

What other kinds of talking animals are there?

[italktofish]

We've had several cats every now and again, and there's a REALLY outrageous ferret named Stella who's been here for a while, and then ALL THE FISH--if you're me, anyway! I can talk to ANYTHING THAT LIVES IN THE WATER! And the silverfish! Because they're still fish, even if they're bugs!

[blind_devotion]

[Interesting.]

Well, thank you for your help. I'll keep an eye out for her.

[italktofish]

You're quite welcome--and tell her I said hello!
