[The angle of the video is strange--Cole's not too great with technology and to be honest, he's mostly been avoiding it. For the most part he just looks...confused. Everything was so dark here most of the time and while he can't complain about the brighter tone, he still isn't sure that he trusts it.]

Is it too bright? I can't tell.

[Cryptic as always, it seems. He may not even know that he's being recorded.]

Defeated darkness, driving and driven, but now it's bright and burning.

[Confusing. The entire world is confusing outside the Fade. And this place is even more so.

But after a moment he looks down at the camera, still looking a little lost. But then, doesn't he always?]

Is it helping?

Yep, this's Blackie. He jes showed up, 'long with all the candy an' th' rest.

[He reaches up and scratches under the crow's chin. The crow's eyes close and he looks quite happy]

Hello. [Yep, he just said hi to the bird.]

I didn't look. Should I?

Re: [video]

[crowboy]

[Blackie caws back]

He sez hi. Mos' people don' say hi t' 'im. Can ya talk to crows?

[That would be different, as most people don't talk to crows either]

[Corbin shrugs]

Couldn' hurt. But he jes sorta showed up, I didn' have t' go lookin' fer 'im.

Re: [video]

[fadeling]

Most people don't try to. I can talk to them and they can talk back but I don't know the words.

Oh. Maybe I should look.

Re: [video]

[crowboy]

So how d'ya talk to 'em? Talkin' us'ly means usin' words.

[lots of words, when you're Corbin]

Re: [video]

[fadeling]

I can talk.

Re: [video]

[crowboy]

[Corbin looks confused for a moment, and he looks over at Blackie, then back at Cole]

So... y' mean y' don' know what they're sayin'?

Re: [video]

[fadeling]

Yes. But i can still talk to them.

Re: [video]

[crowboy]

Ain't much of a conversation then. You talk t' things that don' talk back a lot?

Re: [video]

[fadeling]

Sometimes. I like to listen.
