[The video turns on revealing an old woman, dressed in a plain, grey dress, with a warm shawl around her shoulders. She is set in a chair, looking down at the recording curiously.]

Ah! There it is. I thought that it might work.

This must be the community of ducks my dear niece was telling me about. Great-niece, actually, but never mind that.

I thought I should inform you all that my niece, Miss Sophie Hatter, has decided to go forth and seek her fortune. She left her magic book in my care, you see so I imagine she will be out of touch for quite some time. She told me of her friends here, and wishes you not to worry. She will be quite alright, I imagine.

My name is Sophie as well. Old Sophie, that is. She is my namesake, after all. [She gives a wry smile.] A pleasure to meet you all, even if the method is rather strange.

Perhaps. I suppose we will see in time.

[seasaltzombie]

Yeah, I guess so. I hope she'll be okay out there. And uh, sorry if I said anything that sounded out of line.

So, I guess she must've told you everything you need to know about the community already if you have her book, right?

[cleanestwitch]

Not to worry. I appreciate your honesty.

I believe that she has. Though I will be interested to see how those viruses that she mentioned, play out.

[seasaltzombie]

Oh. Well... thanks. I know not everyone does.

Oh, yeah... you'll wanna watch out for those. Some of them aren't so bad, but every so often we get something pretty awful.

[cleanestwitch]

So I have heard. I just hope that the community will take pity on an old woman.

[seasaltzombie]

Man, I hope so. It'd suck otherwise. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

you didn't see anythiiiiing

[cleanestwitch]

I will be sure to let you know if I hear anything from her.
