[The video feed opens onto a view of the gardens, which then pans to a certain orange, smiling alien.

Only this time, Wander's fur has large blue patches growing over his body and arms, with a bit on his cheek.]

Hi there! First, jus' wanted to let everyone know that I'm doin' fine and everythin' is okay. I know that some of you might be worried 'bout this fur problem, but no need to. I was tryin' to grow back some of my hair after the props took it, and well, it worked!

Ha ha!

I bought this potion thing from a man on the street, and he was right 'bout it growin' back, but I had no idea that it'd turn be all blue. I should be okay once everythin' else grows back.

[Which might take a few weeks]

Jus' wanted to let y'all know not to worry!

[He winks and gives a thumbs up to show off just how alright he is.]

Well the thing you really have to keep an eye out for is the Black Sun. They've been peddling a lotta drugs that I wouldn't want you to mistake as medicine.

[folkscallmewander]

Wouldn't they say what they're sellin'? If they say it ain't medicine, I won't buy it. Simple as that.

When some people want to make money, they'll tell you about anything. It's a damn shame, but it's the truth.

[folkscallmewander]

That's not true for most people!

[Agent K was starting to sound a little like Sylvia, if only a bit more pessimistic. Don't do that Wander, people are terrible. Don't talk to that person, they're dangerous.

Assuming the best of others has worked for him for the majority of the time.]

I'm meanin' the Black Sun workers there, Sport. [He's actually not much of a pessimist. He does think people can turn out better, the world can be better and good people need looking out for. But he's not much of an idealist.] When it comes to your health you gotta be careful with that sort of thing. If you go to someone that's not a clinic or doesn't have a health license, they might be tryin' to pull the wool over your eyes.

For the record, the Braska guy seems on the straight and narrow.

Doctors are one thing, Mr. K! They need to know what they're doin' if I want to see 'em! [Did the potion vendor count as a doctor? Wander hopes that Agent K doesn't press him too much on the details]

Of course I trust Braska, he's my friend! He's been tellin' me 'bout some of the things he sells at his shop, and they work for all the folks that come there.

[most_feared]

I'd probably count somethin' that helps your hair spontaneously grow back as health related.

[Wander's not pressing charges, so no detail pressing. But he hopes the guy doesn't walk into too much trouble at this rate.]

[folkscallmewander]

Well, when ya put it that way, I shoulda asked him more 'bout where he got the potion from. But, no harm done, and I can't do anythin' about it now.

[He forces out a small giggle. He's walked into trouble plenty of times before, but he's always found a way out. The times his life was in danger don't count, and besides, he's making sure not to explore too far outside the village walls by himself. For now.]

[most_feared]

No harm done. [He agrees.] Just keep an eye out for that sorta thing.

[folkscallmewander]

No need to worry, Mister K! I promise I'll keep a better eye out for fake doctors!
