How do you use one of these? Is this- Right there? Hi. Hello. Oh, this is kind of fun. Nowhere near as fun as flossing or like Jack kind of fun but video broadcasting has an appeal here. Haha. Anywhooo there are more than 3,936 of you that are not where you're supposed to be, give or take a few hundreds with this influx. So many. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this and then there's the issue of non-human teeth and then probably way more than half aren't even going to see anything here- Why are there so many adults? They don't have anything for me and I am definitely not collecting wisdom teeth, which are unnecessary to pull a lot of the time. Dentists. Honestly. Gotta love them but oh how some of them just enjoy literally pulling teeth and but -what was I saying?

Oh right. Fictional me. Is there a rule exception here and it was just those last guys or are we all acting like a big killjoy and pretending everything isn't real?

Tooth! Where are you?

[Video]

[freezespirited]

...It's awful. They only have the abrasive kind of toothpaste.

[He doesn't know if this is true.]

[video]

[babytooth]

Jack! I'm in front of a hospital and-

[ gasp ] Only abrasive? That is the worst news I've heard all day.

[video]

[freezespirited]

Really? Out of everything--

I'll come find you.

[video]

[babytooth]

I'll be right here!

[He flies as quickly as he possibly can to get there, coming to an abrupt halt once he reaches the hospital. He's really happy to see her.]

How did you manage to count the population so fast?

[unfadingdragon]

[... That was a little fast for him, Toothiana.]

... What?

[Video]

[coimiceoir]

[Well whatever she may be, this girl is not an adult. And she's ignoring more or less everything you just said.]

You're not human. Are you one of my people?

[action]

[babytooth]

Jack!

[ She's just always happy to see him. Zooming right next to him with a big grin on her face. ]

A lady never tells! Well, okay they do. It wasn't that fast. -Or it kind of was. This place is not that big. I asked a couple of birds to count and then you times by teeth in the mouth. Are you okay? Have they done anything? What goes on here?

[babytooth]

What indeed! Don't worry about it.

Hello!

[Video]

[babytooth]

[ Not a human child. She's looking at Aisling with such interest now. ]

Oh! Are your people fairies? I think we'd be different kinds.

[unfadingdragon]

Uh. Okay.

[He grins at her.]

Hi! I'm Ryu. What's your name?

[babytooth]

Hello there. Let's see, I'm Toothiana-- Or Tooth Fairy is fine. You can just go 'Tooth.'

[geminated_man]

Well, oral hygiene is important, but I dunno about fun.

[babytooth]

It is fun! You can get yourself a wacky toothbrush and scrub up and down and swoosh minty things around in your mouth and spit! Spitting is fun! Especially if your toothpaste makes all the bubbles.

[coimiceoir]

[...Aisling is completely fascinated. That sort of heritage doesn't usually show so strongly in her people!]

People have called us that before. You can fly! I don't know a way to do that without changing!

[Video]

[babytooth]

Oh! I do it with the wings that don't really change ever. What kind of changing? Like shape-shifting?

[Video]

[coimiceoir]

Of course! It's one of the first things you learn, in case you need to get away, or defend yourself. You don't change at all? Don't the humans hunt you?

[video]

[babytooth]

Hunt me? Goodness no! I only deal with sleeping ones and collect their baby teeth. Why would they hunt you? That's terrible!

[video]

[coimiceoir]

They're always trying to collect feathers from the birds - I'm surprised they don't want yours. And they want us out of the forest so they can cut it down. But I won't let them. [A child's stubborn frown, and determined voice, and an adult's tired brittleness about the eyes. But then it vanishes as she cocks her head to one side.]

What do you want their teeth for?

[video]

[babytooth]

[ She idly runs a hand over her arm, feeling the small feathers there ] Oh! They really are awful sometimes! The nerve of some people. --You protect the forest then? Are you ah-- Nymph? Oh no, that's a rude term. What was it? I know this one! Tuatha Dé Danann? Yes?

They hold the most precious memories of childhood. I protect them, so they don't lose them, and when they're needed the most I return the memory.

[Aisling recoils, dropping the phone and suddenly appearing crouched on a branch over the fallen PDA, staring with wide, wild eyes. For a moment she stays there, frozen as any small creature suddenly shocked, but she doesn't flee. Slowly, slowly, she descends in careful long stretches, creeping back up to stare into the camera.]

Bean an Uachtaráin... Tusa tá a fhios sin agam sinne? Cad é mar?


[First lady... You know of us? How? She hadn't heard that name in... Well. In too long. Where did this lady come from and how did she know such things?]

[video]

[babytooth]

[ She covers her mouth. She wears an apologetic look ]

Tá brón orm. I collect memories. Some of my older ones remember you... Was it wrong of me to say? I hadn't meant to startle you.

[video]

[coimiceoir]

[She unconsciously mirror's the strange woman's gesture, pressing her hands to her lips and letting her hair swing forward in a thin shield. There's a lot of emotion fighting for the upper hand, and finally she has to turn aside and pull herself back together. But it's only a moment before she shakes back her hair and turns back with a warm smile. A few touches on the screen and...]

[Video//Private//TW Encryption]

Mo leithscéal. [My apologies.] No one has called me that in a long time. Most people forgot about us, and the name died. I'm the heir of my clan. You're of a different people. From another land?

What's with the feathers?
