[He can do this. Who cares if people think he's weird for this? He has people who don't think that, too. He turns on the video and smiles a tiny bit, before speaking.]

So I'm just wondering... a couple of things, really. First of all, how many people are here who are under the age of twenty? It feels like that's a lot of people here - more than you'd usually see in any kind of population. Has anyone tracked that kind of stuff?

And second...

[Here we go.]

How many people had what people might call... powers or abilities or magic at home? Like, stuff that most people can't do but you can do? I'm not counting if you come from some kind of world where magic is common, but where it's rare and people would stare at you for doing it, that's what I mean.

[... He's kind of run out of steam.]

Th... that's what I was wondering. Let me know. I'm not trying to like... track people down or something. I'm just curious.

[He flicks the video off and goes to get a drink of water. That was kind of scary.]

[He can't help but laugh a little.]

Hello to you, too.

_{[She has a good reaction to that laugh, and offers him a smile and a little wave.]}

Hey, what kind of animals could you turn into?

[video]

[wing_attack]

Well... I was usually a hawk. I got stuck like that, so I could only actually turn into a human for a few hours at a time. But I've been all sorts of things. I've even been a dinosaur.

[walkersystem]

What? No way.

_{[She's impressed, but that other thing catches her attention too.]}

What do you mean, you got stuck?

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yep.

... Well, you can only stay as something for two hours. After that, if you try to turn back, you can't. I got the ability back, but instead of my 'normal' form being a human, it was a bird. ... And that pretty much never happens. I got really lucky.

[walkersystem]

_{[Give her a moment, that's pretty intense.]}

So you're really a bird? I mean ... even if you were a boy first, you're really a bird now?

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah. It's not so bad, really.
