[She doesn't normally use the video function, but she's making an exception for this. Ryn's nowhere to be found in the video, though, as it's focused on the back of a Furby, which is opened up.]

Megamind, do you want this? It's tech - in a manner of speaking - but as it's not got an engine, there's nothing I can be doing with it.

[Ryn's voice comes from somewhere behind the journal, and the video moves to the front of the Furby.]

Also, it's creepy as hell, so the sooner I can be rid of it, the better.

I think they're kinda funny looking actually.

[He might be playing with his a little. At least no one can see him.]

[dontfeartheme]

[Very good that no one can see him, because then Ryn might have to be thinking that was kind of cute.]

I did, too, at first. But now it won't stop looking at me.

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

[And nobody would want that.]

Why don't you just turn it around? Or close it's eyes?

[dontfeartheme]

[Of course not. No cute-ness here.]

I tried the eyes thing, but they kept opening again. But I like your other idea.

[And the Furby is now getting banished to facing the corner. ...except Ryn can still tell it's there. But she's so not going to admit that she's still a little weirded out by it.]

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

[Nope. There's no cuteness allowed here. Zachariah is the farthest thing from cute.]

See? Problem sol-

[Then suddenly the Furby says something Furbish.]

Holy crap it talks!

[Someone sounds amazed by this.]

[dontfeartheme]

You say that now, but-

[And she cuts off as well when the Furby talks, particularly at Zachariah's reaction. So much for no cuteness allowed, because Ryn is definitely grinning a bit now.]

Yeah, they do that. I've a friend who had one when he was a kid. They apparently learn English, eventually.

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? They can learn? That's amazing!

[Zachariah is taking a closer look at it now. He has to figure out what makes it work.]

[dontfeartheme]

[She chuckles at that.]

That's what I heard. It might not have been learning so much as programmed to eventually be speaking English. But they probably are some of the most advanced pieces of machinery here, which I suppose counts for something.

[Ryn pauses.]

Or is rather pathetic.

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

I think it's awesome actually.

[Did you know he thinks it's awesome Ryn? Because he totally thinks it's awesome.]

Wonder if I could make something like this.

[dontfeartheme]

I can tell.

[And his thinking that it's awesome is making her smile, so there must be something mildly awesome about it.]

I bet you could. You've got an example of how it's done.

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

You think? Maybe I should give it a shot then.

[He could think of a few kids back home who would love something like this. Not only that but he was certain he could find a way to use them so they could help the resistance.]

[dontfeartheme]

Can't hurt to try it, and at least it's something to do.

[She considers that.]

If you're wanting a second pair of eyes to look at it at any point, let me know?

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Sure! That would be great.
