[There is audio before the video appears: an obnoxious squawking voice that is mostly indistinct, but keeps repeating something about the spreading cases of lunar fever.

When the video finally does turn on, Harry can be seen fumbling with his device before finally setting it down. There is a bright crimson coloured parrot perched on his shoulder.]

I tried to catch an owl in the forest. I've never trained one myself, but I figured it wouldn't be very hard...

[Whether the scratches on his face are from the owl he tried to catch, or the parrot... well, we will leave that up to you to decide.]

Er.. it didn't work out.... This thing followed me home instead.

[He reaches up to scritch at its feathers and gets a nip on the hand for his efforts. Then, no matter how he tries to shoo it away, it clings to him and goes back to squawking.]

You can get Aisling to take it back for you, probably.

[moralfibre]

I guess so...

D'you think a parrot would carry letters?

Er... why would you try to catch an owl in the first place?

[Jebus, is everyone here mental?]

Owls carry letters, where I'm from.

[they're also the best pets, but he'd rather not get into how attached he'd grown to his last one.]

And wot's wrong with the normal post?

[She has a feeling she shouldn't ask. She's just inviting herself to another helping of "Why is everything so weird." Alas, Alisha's actually curious and has too few fucks to give.]

You got a parrot! I loved the parrots, the parrots were brilliant!

If you want, it should not only carry messages but read you posts off the network.

Not quite sure how to synch it with your phone, though. Or whether or not it has any apps.

[Here, Harry, have an amused little girl smiling into the camera and lecturing you gently.]

If you wanted to see an owl, all you had to do was ask you know. They don't always come out for just anyone. They don't like to talk much during the day. And they don't like to be caught.

[It looks like that last word has a bad taste, from the way she frowns and her lips twist around it.]

Looks like the parrot likes you.

[sossery]

But where are we going to keep it?

[alwaysimpure]

Oh, that must be one of the parrots from the time we were all pirates...

This island is crazy.

If you want an owl from the forest, Harry, you ought to ask Aisling.
