video; backdated to the magnet event
[A video clicks on, showing the bulbous face of a Capsakid. She’s staring directly into the communicator, then grins widely when she’s sure it’s on. She holds the communicator out at arm’s length—her stubby little arms keep most of her face in the frame, but never mind that—to show what’s going on behind her.]
[It’s a Sableye, crouched under a small table in a hallway. The Sableye is looking around furtively, and holding something in her paws. When she moves them, a Fire Stone glints between her fingers.]
[The Capsakid points at the Fire Stone, then chatters something into the communicator. From the glint in her beady little eyes, it’s clear she knows about that Fire Stone, and she’s gonna get it.]
[She’s Spicy Knoxville, and welcome to Jackass.]
[Spicy starts creeping down the hallway, keeping the communicator held up so her adoring fans can watch, but moving carefully so the Sableye doesn’t see her. Fortunately for Spicy’s budding Starrytube career, the Sableye is way too interested in her shiny snack to notice the impending chaos.]
[Spicy gets within a step or two, close enough that she could touch the Sableye’s back with one leafy stub, before grinning again. She takes a step back, gathers herself, and with a shriek, pounces.]
[The camera picks up what it can in the ensuing chaos, but it’s all shaky found footage from here on out. The Sableye yelps, there’s a bright flash of evolution light, followed by Spicy running down the hall and cackling. Is she taller now? The angle on the camera is different.]
[The Sableye takes off after her—her snack! Her delicious Fire Stone snack!—and Spicy runs into the kitchen. She divebombs the Durant that’s been living under the table for the last month and scrambles onto his back. The Durant, shocked and appalled out of his lethargy, knocks over a chair as he gallops out from under the table.]
[With the Sableye still in pursuit, Spicy steers the Durant into the living room. There’s a quick glimpse of the couch, and a flash of light off Mando’s armour as he sits up straight to see what’s going on. There’s someone else on the couch with him, who lifts his fashionable-coiffed head off Mando’s shoulder to see what’s going on. Mando, recognizing his problem child, lunges for Spicy and his communicator, but he’s somehow unable to disentangle himself from whoever he’s been canoodling with, and they both land on the floor with a crash and a puff of purple glitter.]
[Spicy roars with laughter and takes a victory lap around the coffee table. The camera catches a shot of Mando reaching for her, and if a helmet ever looked pissed, this helmet is pissed.]
SPICY!

Does that make more sense?
no subject
But, uh... You weren't a human before here, either, then?
no subject
From the question, I assume you weren't, either.

In my original form, I was much taller.

[Every time he's told of someone being here a long time, he gets incredibly mixed and stressfully complicated feelings.]
no subject
[Because he's been here longer than he'd been alive in his original world... but he was asked not to share that. So he won't.]
Becoming adjusted to eating, sleeping, caring for a human body - that has taken far more effort than anything else. I would hope someone already possessing a... shall we say - organic body would find that easier.
no subject
Not really. Did you already know humans? That might be a difference, because I didn't even know that word before I came here. I'd seen one, once, but that was it.

I was built and programmed by them. I've worked closely with them since I was brought online.
