001 - [Video]
[The image displayed is of nothing human. It is, in fact, nothing more than a panda in a pair of darned pants standing straight up as if he knows no other way to stand. He’s obviously in the new “home” he’s been given, and if it’s possible for him to seem even more out of place, he somehow manages it. It’s similar but it’s not, and he’s never seen anything like the kedan before.
He’s entirely out of his element, and if it was ever doubted that a panda could display that much with expression, he’s living, standing, awkward proof that a panda can do just that.]
Uh. [Brief, something that was almost a word but never quite made it. He has no idea about these devices except for what he’s been told, and he still finds it difficult to believe. Others can see him, he can see them, and they can speak that way. How is that possible?] So. Hi. This showing a picture, right? A…a moving one, I guess. I don’t really understand, but that’s what those guys told me, so it probably does, right?
[He’s blathering. This is hardly anything new with him, and he realizes it, and that also shows. He runs a paw over his face, ears popping right back into place when it passes over them.]
Yeah, so, the introduction thing, I guess. I’m, uh, [awkward] Po [still awkward] and I’m from a place called the Valley of Peace, and [little less awkward] I never really thought that when you ascended, it was to another city. Thought of it more like another plane. But that’s okay, because you can’t ascend anything when you’re asleep, but you can apparently get trapped, and that’s pretty, uh. That really sucks. Like. It sucks a lot.
[He’s still obviously out of his element, but he stands up a little straight and stops fidgeting.]
Is there anything that whoever else here can tell me that doesn’t suck?
[Things that suck less are also wanted, and it’s after a close-up of a bear paw that the image disconnects.]

[Look, it's strange, everything is strange. What isn't strange is the obvious fondness Po has for this turtle. She does that not-quite-a-smile thing again.]
And everyone is an animal?
no subject
[Humans know pandas, but some apparently don't. Or turtles, even.
Po has a feeling he's going to get a serious headache trying to figure this all out.]
Everyone is, yes. There's no one like...what I've seen here. No one.
no subject
[That is an understatement, and she knows it.]
I will leave you to it, if you prefer.
no subject
It's under the under of the underest understatements. It's so far under it's not on top of anything. This is really weird for him.]
Well, thanks. But, hey, if you're ever hungry, let me know, okay? I'm a great cook.
no subject
[Don't get hungry? No, that's not true.. She does right now, now her body is trying to be human.
...don't know what to do with offers of generosity? That'll be the one.
She catches herself, and nods.]
Thank you. I would like that.
no subject
[But he'll be cooking without his dad.
...maybe one thing will have always changed, at least.]
no subject
[In two days she will come and find you, Po. See if she doesn't.]
no subject
[How does he make the video go away? Oh, right. That thing.
Sorry for the close up of the bear paw; it's all he's got to end it.]
