[When the recording starts the bracelet's camera is focused on some kind of aquarium. It isn't completely filled with water and it has quite a few rocks and logs, some of which stick out above the water. On first glance the tank looks empty, but if one looks close they can see a little red claw crab sitting under a log inside.]

Does anyone know what kinds of things crabs do for fun? I'm keeping an eye on this guy for someone else, and I know I've got his food and home down but it looks kind of boring in there. Especially since he's all alone! Do they even make toys for crabs? He looks like he might break stuff with those claws....

Oh! And what kind of information do I need to give out to get a licence? I've never gotten one of these things before, so I'm not sure if I need to bring something or... what, really.

I have one here.

[She turns the bracelet's camera over to her bed, where a massive dog is taking up most of it, fast asleep. He's got black scruffy fur and pointy ears, and he looks more like a wolf - or at least a wolf-dog hybrid - than an actual dog.]

This is Dog!

...That's it's name? Dog?

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

His name, yeah!

[Dog is snoring away, legs twitching occasionally as he dreams about chasing rabbits.]

You're not really creative. [ Blunt. ]

[occulthymns]

[So rude!]

It's a perfectly good name! He likes it!

[ video ]

[kd_0079]

It's just what he is! Most people name their dogs Max or Fido or some shit.

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

But those are terrible names!

[ video ]

[kd_0079]

So is Dog! Argh, whatever. That's not important anyway. What, is he from your world?

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

Yeah! I've had him my entire life.

[ video ]

[kd_0079]

Huh. That's pretty cool, I guess. Does he do tricks?

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

He does all kinds of things! He can play dead, he knows hide and seek, he's good at hunting - oh, and he's a great guard dog, too!

[Right now he looks like a big scruffy lump though.]

[kd_0079]

Huh. Sounds like a good dog. Yeah, crabs don't do any of that.

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

Sounds like they have boring lives.

[kd_0079]

...Well, it's a crab. I don't think it really cares.

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

He should!

[ video ]

[kd_0079]

He's a fucking animal, he just doesn't! [ What part of that didn't she understand?! ]

...What do you feed it anyway?

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

I got him some crab food when I bought his tank. Why?

[ video ]

[kd_0079]

...I thought crabs ate sand, or something.

[ video ]

[occulthymns]

No, no they dig in the sand. They don't eat it.

[kd_0079]

Well sorry I'm not a crab expert, okay? It just made sense to me! Worms dig and eat dirt.
