[Failed Filter to Young Neil - open to all]

[The video starts shakily. There is a blur of trees, sky, and Stephen's usual flannel shirt. It finally steadies on a close-up of his face.]

Neil! Dude, wherever you are, you have to get back to the clearing NOW. There is no way you are missing this!

[Stephen flips the camera around, to reveal the extremely curious-looking face of brontosaurus. It is about five steps away from where Stephen is standing, alternatively munching on a tree and inspecting this strange new human intruder with mild interest.]

I'm totally going to try and pet him. Get over here, dude!

[ooc: before anyone else points it out, yes I know they're not really called brontosaurs anymore. But Stephen is a ninties kid who grew up on The Land Before Time, so that's all he knows them as.]

So... I got a cat.

[Stephen reaches down off-screen and comes back up with a rather scruffy and slightly derp-looking cat. The cat mews loudly and squirms a little in his grasp.

Having Milo for the day made me kind of miss having a pet around. I always had cats growing up, and I was walking by the animal shelter after work, so...

[Stephen drops the cat back in his lap, who uses this opportunity to try and bat at Stephen's device.]

He's not the smartest guy in the world, but... I kind of like him.

[Stephen smiles. A real, genuine, warm smile.]

I named him Neil. Kind of a long story.


Anyway, is everyone staying safe with all the rampaging carousel animals?

[Stephen is once again in the kitchen in The Blue Light. (He does do actual work there, I swear).]

Hey, guys.

Sooo...


Did anyone else wake up with a bird attached to them this morning?

[Stephen pans the camera over to the side, where the screen if filled with brown feathers. He tilts it up slightly, revealing Stephen's bird for the day is...

A Giant Moa

It is looking around the kitchen with interest, every few minutes snacking on a bowl of nuts Stephen has placed in front of it. It is also wearing several hairnets, one on it's head and a few stretched hap-haphazardly across it's back.]


Although as curses go... this one is kind of awesome.

[Stephen scratches his Moa on his back, who coos appreciatively. He then goes back to meal prep.]
