3rd Study Done Β Video/Action for Mio Ψ
[He doesn't like going on the network. Like, he really doesn't like going on the network. Unfortunately, he has to move past it right now because SCIENCE and also his munna is sick.
So when the feed starts, Reid (who is wearing HUGE glasses today) is sitting with his back against a tree, taking a break from all the traveling with Mio. Yang the Absol is curled up next to Reid's leg, staring at the communicator. In Reid's arms is the most sad-looking munna ever, and its face looked a little green. It's a sick, sad munna.]
Um, hi?
[Reid cradles Flora the munna carefully, readjusting the glasses on his nose.] Right. Uh, for those of you who don't know, I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. Not that--you don't have to call me that. Spencer or Reid will work fine.
[As you can probably tell, Reid is not good at talking to lots of strangers.]
It's come to my attention that no one's ever formally gathered data about arrivals and departures from this place, and in hopes of finding a pattern that could lead us to being able to better predict who might come and go, I put together a survey. The more people who contribute, the more useful the results will be, so any spare moment you could use to fill it out would be appreciated.
[He switches to text briefly to provide a link to the survey.]
This, um... isn't exactly my realm of expertise? That is, my specialty is largely theoretical and practical applications of knowledge, not setting up studies, and without any kind of possible beta testing, this study isn't exactly what I would call formal. So really, any suggestions on how to improve it or any help from people experienced with correlational studies would be helpful.
On a more personal note...
[He glances down, his glasses hiding his eyes, and he shifts so the munna is more visible on the screen. The poor thing looks utterly pathetic--she's not even hovering.]
Flora has been very sick since she hatched. Does anyone know what might be wrong with her?
[She'll tell you what's wrong with her. She's living off a steady diet of nothing but sleep terrors and nightmares. Reid, you really should see someone about that.]

That--that's really nice of you, Fluttershy. [Interesting name you got there, but hell, he's not going to comment.] I might need to take you up on the offer. I'm not--animals back home never liked me much. I don't exactly have much experience taking care of them?
You, uh, you kept calling me 'Mister Human'. Were you not human before you came here?
Private Video
We don't even have humans back home... I'm a Pegasus Pony. But... this place turns everypony - I mean, everyone - into a human when they arrive... For some reason... I don't really know...
Private Video
[...
...
...
...Nope, still not the weirdest thing he's heard this week.] You never saw a human before coming here? That must have... well, I would have been pretty scared if I ended up turning into something I've never seen before and everyone I met was one too.

...Is she a bookish girl with purple hair and eyes? [Because she introduced herself as Twilight, but he never heard anything about her being a unicorn.]
Private Video
Yes! She's the smartest pony ever! And one of my best, dearest friends.
Private Video
Well, she--yeah, yeah, I could tell she's very smart. She, uh, she helped me out when I first got here.
Private Video
Private Video
And you--you, uh, you seem like a kind person too. So birds of a feather.
Private Video
Oh... thank you very much.
Private Video
He gives a small smile, then averts his eyes to focus on the little piglet in his lap. It's weird that her being so shy simultaneously makes him feel a little more confident, but makes him act more shy. It's like he's compelled to imitate the mannerisms he most recognizes in himself--which is totally a common effect of--
wait, wait, he isn't in the middle of a profile, he's in the middle of a conversation.] Well, uh, thanks. Again. I'll... see you and Twilight around?
