[ Even as the image can be seen, it seems like there's still a moment of set up, tiny hands fiddling with the Omni like they're trying to get the perfect shot.. But then there are two faces visible. Two faces that are looking decidedly younger than usually - it's Ange and Ruby, looking like they definitely can't be much older than six years old.

And looking very excited. ]

Um, so, so..! We heard that there's some sort of reaaally scary snake monster out there! So.. we thought we'd help out everyone and get rid of it! Because Ruby.. She's a really, reaaally cool huntress! [ Ange may be Will-Smith-esque posing at Ruby for emphasis right as she says that. ]

[Ruby just stares at the camera briefly until she notices Ange's hands pointing her way. She blinks and quickly starts to flex her twiggy arms to the camera.]

Yeah! We're super strong and awesome and we've got tons of weapons! [Ruby gestures to a sack of potato's and a large collection of sticks that they've gathered up.]

That snack is going to be- a- -uh- a, a piece of snack!

[ While Ruby is saying that last part, it seems that Ange has already moved over to grab one of the sticks for a demonstration. As she's running back towards where Ruby and the Omni are, she's waving the stick wildly. ]

We'll get it just like thi--

[ Ange manages to smack the stick right against the device, turning the view sideways before it just cuts out entirely.

Oops. ]

...Or maybe you can come over and we'll try with the three of us!

[mactirebeag]

...I'm not touchin' a gun.

[Mebh's not fond of them. To her, they're reminders of how many wolves, and Wolfwalkers as well, have been killed by those who seek to expand their towns and cities, with no regard for those who depend on the woods to live.]

But since you can't even do that, I guess I can help if you really want.

[littlelikeroses]

You don't have to!

Are you more of a sword person or spear? What kind of weapons do you like? Or do you punch people like my big sister?

[She smiles wide and cheers when Mebh agrees.]

Yeah, sure! Then we can fight the snakey! And get cookies and it'll be great! I promise!

[mactirebeag]

I'm a Wolfwalker. I don't need weapons to scare people off.

[She would bite more often if her bites didn't have...certain effects.]

And I've got me wolves with me. [Granted, only two of them are here with her out of the dozens she lived with back home.]

[littlelikeroses]

Uh...? What's a wolf walker? Do you walk like a wolf? Like on your hands and feeties?

...You have pet wolves!? I want to meet them!

[mactirebeag]

Bein' a Wolfwalker means when I sleep, I leave me body and I become a wolf. But when I'm awake, I'm me, Mebh Óg MacTíre!

[As for walking, Mebh is prone to running on all fours regardless of whether she's a human or a wolf.]

There's just two wolves with me here. I live with loads more back home.

[littlelikeroses]

Oh man! That's so cool!

You're cool Mebh!

I want to be a wolfy too!

[mactirebeag]

Of course I am!

[Mebh is nothing if not self-assured when it comes to what she is.]

I'd have to bite you first if you really want to be a Wolfwalker, though.

[littlelikeroses]

...How does that work?

Is like your semblance? Do you bite people and they turn into wolves?

[mactirebeag]

Dunno what a semblance is. That's just how we are, we bite somebody and then they're a Wolfwalker too. Only a Wolfwalker can make another.

[Mebh had actually been forbidden from biting anyone by her mother, but that hadn't stopped her from turning Robyn into a Wolfwalker by accident.]

[littlelikeroses]

A semblance is a special super power that lots of people have. I don't have one yet but it makes my uncle super unlucky- and my sister can light her hair on fire when she's angry.

Oh- That's so cool. It doesn't sound like my thing at all.

[mactirebeag]

What does lightin' your hair on fire do? Sounds like a bother.
