[ 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. ]

Okay. Just make sure to ask first! Because back home there were sea monsters everyone hunted, but they just were trying to live their lives and never hurt anyone, so this might be like that.

[littlelikeroses]

I will, I promise!

We didn't have monsters like that where I'm from-

But I don't want to hurt someone who doesn't deserve it.

That's a real jerk thing to do.

[schoolingfish]

Oh, there were a lot of monsters like that where I'm from, living in a little underwater village off the coast of Italy.

[littlelikeroses]

Really!? A whole city of monsters!?

That sounds so cool!

What's an Italy?

[schoolingfish]

Well, it was more of a small farming village than a city.

And Italy's a country.

[littlelikeroses]

The sea monsters farmed!?

What were they even growing underwater? A bunch of seaweeds?

...I've never heard of that place. We don't have a lot of countries where I'm from.

[schoolingfish]

Oh, just normal stuff. Seaweed. Fish. Oysters. That kind of thing.
