[The video in question comes on about an hour after the wave of magic that sends everything on Legion World up, down, and sideways. It also comes from North's omnicom, though the only thing in focus that resembles North is a small, glowing likeness of the man in his usual purple-and-green armor, seated on the shoulder of a young boy in a ridiculously oversized hoodie. To anyone who's had dealings in the flesh with a man who goes by the name of Church, the kid does bear a certain, aged-down sort of resemblance. He looks down at the omnicom, then at the figure on his shoulder, brows knitting.]

Is this right?

Yep. Pretty sure you're transmitting.

Ok! Um. [Focus back to the screen, and he fidgets, hesitating a second.] Hi, everyone. North and I were talking, and a lot of people are human for right now who weren't human before. And- you know, maybe it would be fun to talk about stuff that's fun to do when you're a human! As long as we're gonna be like this for a little bit.

Absolutely. Some of us aren't actually that magical, so 'lemons out of lemonade' seems like a better option than just twiddling our thumbs until the situation's fixed. [It's the best solution he has for the 'Theta keeps freaking out having such an undeniable, large, and ungainly physical component' problem, and hey. Maybe it'll help someone else out too.]

Yeah! So um. What do you like about being human? Or having a body at all, I guess.

[North makes a very deliberate throat-clearing noise. He knows about some of you.] And let's keep it to the all-ages suggestions, okay?

[ Robbie's having A Day, too. ]

That feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you're at the top of a swing. I know Central Park is in the habitat deck, so I'm sending you directions to the playgrounds there.

[ Maps attached. ]

[nofortunateson]

Oh, hey, that's a good one. Thanks.

Mmhm, thanks! [He's studying the maps already, face screwed up in concentration.] Okay, I- we can do this. Yeah. [He's pretty sure.] So I just climb up on the top part?

[walkingballpit]

Noooot exactly. Oh, wow. You've never been on a swing. Okay, there's a seat, and North can probably walk you through it, but it'd be better if you had someone giving you a push until you get the hang of it. I can -

[ Robbie looks down at his current body and sighs. ]

Give me a fifteen minutes to figure out girl clothes, I guess. Then I can meet you there.

Well.

So far, chocolate's at the top of the list.

[nofortunateson]

We saw! [Theta doesn't usually get to see people that happy, and it's still pretty exciting knowing there are things that good out there.]

Are you going to be okay when this all wears off? Back to being a rabbit means back off the chocolate again, right?

[bringinghopewithme]

Despite what you may have recently had paraphrased at you, chocolate's addictiveness is exaggerated.

[He's still ready to get into this fight. He's 100% always ready to get into this fight.]

Its deliciousness is not, meanwhile, so now I'm proud of my work with a new perspective. That'll last me, ah . . . for the rest of time, I reckon.

[Pride has been known to keep him going for a long, long time.]

Almost makes having too many finger joints worth it. As long as things go back to normal sooner than later.

What about you two, found anything good in this . . . unexpectedness?

[He'd like to use a more negative word than 'unexpected,' but he's not going to go on TOO much about being cold and clumsy and nearly deaf and noseblind when the kid is trying to be positive.]

[Aww, that's adorable.]

Definitely seconding chocolate. Also ice cream. You should go get the chefs here to whip you up a taster tray.

I was about to say, is being human a requirement to answer?

[ It almost sounds like she's laughing. Almost. ]

Have you tried flying yet?

Audio.

[lovernotafighter]

[Why does he feel called out right now?]

Ch...Church?

[It wasn't, he knew it wasn't, but...fuck if it wasn't something. Tucker sighed, rubbing his forehead. Shit. Just...shit.]

The things I like doing aren't exactly good for a kid. I dunno. Video games? Eating way too much and the food coma after?
