[ when the video feed begins, asa is apparently deep in the oxygen garden, dressed in the clothing he arrived from his world with. his little black antlers have been wrapped in ribbon and pretty silver charms that chime when he moves his head, and there's a vine covered in unusual bright orange flowers that seems to be growing around his fingers. it's weaved between them, the flowers opening slowly as he finds a tree-limb for it to cling to instead.

he glances back at the video, then, smile a little breathless as he pushes his hair back from his face. ]

The gardens are really very pretty for a-- a spaceship. I.. [ a small, embarrassed twitch, burying his hands in the hem of his tunic self-consciously. ] It made me think, though, that.. this is the only place on the ship that-- that seems to have anything growing. And.. um. I know it's only a little thing, but.. if anyone's interested, I think I could set up little indoor gardens for the rooms. I.. have an extremely green thumb.

[ his hands go white-knuckled, self-conscious as he glances down, away from the camera. ] It's.. nice, not having to.. to be ashamed of-- [ he trails off, then blushes, shaking his head. ] Well, nevermind.

To those who assisted with dispatching the demons here, I owe each of you my gratitude. To those who assisted me personally, I owe you far more.

[But no, he's not telling any of you just why he's taken the demon influx so personally. Now, please excuse him while he tries to work out that locking thing again. And promptly fails. Well, so much for keeping personal conversations from clogging up the network.]

Jim Kirk and Tommy Conlon. A word.

I also require the assistance of somebody more familiar with this thing.

[BEEP. That thing being the device he just smacked. It took long enough to work his way around a cellphone. This thing is a little more advanced than that.]
