2. [Video]

[It's Theta on the video screen today. He's taking advantage of the communicator while North is asleep. If you look closely, you might see his outline in the background. Theta looks a little nervous, as much as a hologram can.]

I-I've been working on something new, and I guess I was wondering if people wanted to see it before I show North. I've been working really hard on it.

[He plays a bit with the hologram, and it turns into a fish that starts swimming around, and one might see Cactus the pricklemane coming into view out of interest.]

I think Cactus is going to like chasing it, but are there things that dogs like to chase? Something small. I don't think I can do cats yet.

[Private to Epsilon]

Uh...Delta said you wanted to talk to me?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes. I did. I'm sorry about what happened before... I didn't mean to scare you. But being left helpless and shutdown like that isn't pleasant. I didn't exactly think.

How are you doing?

It was pretty scary.

But I'm okay. What about you?

Could be better. Trying to keep a distance from Wash. Don't trust him after that. I wasn't trying to hurt him. I didn't expect this place's oddness.

Afraid Wash will attempt to damage me. I talked to York and through him Delta. They treated me well.

Yeah, they're really nice.

I don't think North will let that happen.

You and your host don't seem too bad either, brother. It's just Wash here.

You think he'd be able to stop that asshole?

Yeah, North's pretty awesome, and I think he'd be able to.

We already came up with a plan on how to use the shield if you guys started fighting again.

[One on the inside, the other on the outside. Not much you can do.]

You might see if you could try a rabbit. It would be smaller than a cat, at least. Your fish looks quite good; I'm impressed.

Thanks, I worked hard on it. I wanted it to be a real as possible so that Cactus would want to play with it.

[He's definitely going to figure out how to make a rabbit]

I'm sure Cactus will want to play with it.

It looks like he already does. I just want to be to make sure I can make it jump and stuff like that.

We should meet sometime and practice illusions together. I have some interesting ones I could show you, if you like.

I don't know what a dog might like, but that's a very good fish.

Thanks. I wanted to do a good job so that Cactus can play with it.

I'm sure he likes it.

You think so? It's not quite done yet because I want to make it jump.

He already looks interested in it.

[Making the fish jump would be good, of course, but Namine thinks what's there already is quite good.]

It looks good, Theta. Looks like Cactus is already interested, and I'm sure North will be impressed.

Have you tried a squirrel?

I don't think I've tried that yet. They're the ones with the bushy tails, right?

Yeah, they are. Dogs love 'em.

[Theta nods enthusiastically.]

Then that's what I'm going to do. You think Barkley will like it?

Why, 'tis a most clever illusion! [She stands, tilting her head to watch the fish move about.] A unicorn would take at least several years of study to approach such a level.

Unicorns can do stuff like this to?

But why would it take so long? I just sort of thought about what a fish looks like and then played with the lights.

Some can. But it requires great focus and effort to sustain an illusion for any real length of time. It takes training, and practice.

It must be really hard. I usually just need practice, but I guess that just because I'm playing with the lights.

We suppose it simply comes naturally to thee.
