[It's been a rough couple of days. Something in Venom's personal life exploded in his face, so he hasn't been sleeping much. He took a little time off work, and tonight he's decided to film the little egg that showed up a while ago. Call it proof in case something goes horribly wrong. Maybe it'll even hatch on camera and he can share what arrived. That might cheer him up. Possibly. Maybe.

What he doesn't expect is finding shards of eggshell in the box he kept it.

Panicked, he films the path of shell pieces into his kitchen, where a very tiny monkey has started devouring some fruit on the table. Of course that begs the question:]

Sorry to ask so late, but what kind of monkey is this?

And monkeys don't hatch from eggs...

I've heard about these eggs just appearing. I wonder if it's some sort of gift from the Natha.

[ She can talk about the Natha with a fellow refugee, right? It doesn't look like the natives have access to these lines. ]

[poolhall_killer]

Possibly. But I wonder what inspired them to give me a small monkey.

[Just as the monkey decides to crawl all over him and leave a couple of berry-colored prints on his clothes.]

[logpose]

A reward, perhaps?

[poolhall_killer]

A reward... hmmm...

[For something good he did, but he wouldn't know what. The monkey continues to crawl and make cute noises.]

I suppose I should give him a name, too.

[logpose]

That's true. Calling it 'that monkey' all the time would feel too impersonal.

[ She glances at the monkey again, taking notice of its interesting markings. ] How about ... 'feathers'?

[ Nobody said she was good at naming things. ]

[poolhall_killer]

[He does look kind of feathery...]

He is light as a feather, too. I'll think about it.

[Though the monkey doesn't seem to like it at all. He's kind of turned away.]
