[ The feed opens to Luna sat at the kitchen table in what people might recognise to be 410 Prospero. Those who haven't seen her lately will notice two deep scratches, half-healed on her cheek - the result of her mother's return to Deerington. Or rather, the ending of it.
There's something else going on here, more importantly:
It's snowing. Inside.
Snow covers most of the kitchen and falls ever so gently down from the ceiling in a constant stream. Even poor Luna is covered in it, a light dusting on her shoulders and top of her hair. She doesn't seem particularly troubled by it. In fact she remains, as ever, a picture of serenity despite the chaos of the room around her. And it's not just the kitchen, either. The entirety of the inside of the house is currently covered in a light amount of snow.
Luna sits wrapped in a thick wool cardigan, gathering a small bundle close to her chest. There's movement, some kind of twitching, and for a moment, there's a snout of one of Newt's baby Nifflers peeking out and squeaking softly. She seems to be looking off camera for a moment, towards the sound of a pair of voices bickering: Newt and Theseus are in the midst of an argument. About the current indoor weather situation.
It's probably best to leave them to it. ]
Hello, everyone. [ She speaks as cheerful as ever, but she's being entirely serious about her public service announcement. This is very important, after all. ] As you're aware, it's now the holiday season and I have an important precaution for you all here in Deerington.
There's plenty of very interesting creatures here in Deerington, but today I wish to warn you about the possibility of some from my own world that may be lurking here. After all, if people can wake up here and creatures can end up here anyway - what's to say this particular creature hasn't come here, too?
I am, of course, talking about Nargles.
[ Yes, she's being very serious. A baby Niffler peeks out again and starts climbing up Luna's front, it seems to be aiming up towards her face. Luna continues regardless. ]
Nargles are a very small fairy-like creatures, very difficult to see at all really. They're harmless for the most part, but quite vicious thieves and will steal one's personal belongings: shoes, books, watches - anything that can easily lifted, I suppose. Sometimes it's unlikely you will get these things back. Or... maybe I suppose they might come back, just not always in the place you expect it to.
The reason I'm warning you all now is because Nargles infest mistletoe - a popular choice of decoration at this time of year. [ The baby Niffler makes it onto her shoulder, reaching for one of her dirigible plum earrings. Without breaking eye contact from the feed, she gently picks the creature up and deposits it back amongst its three siblings huddling against her chest within her cardigan. ] I ask you all be very vigilant of mistletoe at all times during the holiday season— oh, and keep an eye on your belongings, too.
Perhaps it's best to keep away from it in its entirety, really. [ She shrugs, smiling again. ] Be safe, everyone!

[Nargles, mistletoe, misplaced belongings and all of that. Wrench pays the warning half as much mind as the curious little creature crawling all over the girl.]

A Niffler, actually. One of four: Pumpernickle, Persimmon, Pumpkin and Pistachio.
That one you saw was Persimmon.

One: why is it snowing inside your house? Is that normal here?
Two: are nargles... very common in your world? Apart from not decorating with mistletoe, what precautions can one take to avoid them? Are they really that bad if they just move your stuff around?
[ This is a lot more than three questions, Matthew. ]
Three: [ He points at the niffler. ] What is that? It's adorable.
video; un: quibbler
[ It's... understatement. ]
An interesting question! I can't be sure, really. They're so hard to see, who knows how many of them actually exist. But I imagine they, like their fairy cousins, exist worldwide. And— I have a charm I made to ward them away [ She pulls at a necklace she's wearing. A long chain made of small, blue stones and attached at the end with silver — a... cork. From a bottle. ] I could make them but I don't have all the parts here in Deerington needed.
They're not... terrible. But troublesome, I suppose. I don't think people would like to lose their belongings, would you? Particularly when many of us own so little.
[ Then, at his third question, she looks down. Persimmon has poked his head out again, unhappy at being placed back when it was so close to getting her earring. She smiles down in sympathy for a moment, a second Niffler poking it's head out to look at Luna curiously. Yes, there's more of them. ]
Nifflers. These are Nifflers. More creatures from my home world.

What world are you from?

Earth, actually. Great Britain, more specifically.
A version of it that has magic.
no subject
Magic? [A pause, then: ] Do you have bikes, there?
[Because Angus didn't know what bikes were, and he wants to figure out if this is the same place, or if there are multiple other worlds with magic.]

Hey, Luna.
[ There's a lot to inquire about here, but what's sticking out first is.. ]
Are you... okay? The snow... [ He glances upwards at the ceiling, the edges of his mouth forming the slightest frown — a subtly concerned edge. ]
Are you cold?
video; un: quibbler
Mm, a bit. But I'm alright. [ She looks up herself, snow falling on her face for a few seconds as she frowns.
Newt and Theseus will fix it soon enough. Peter can probably still hear them squabbling in the background: 'It's fine, we'll sort it out!' - 'Probably after we've all been buried alive! Do something!' - 'This isn't my fault!' - 'It was your idea!'. ] It's just gone a bit wrong, remember when I told you how magic's a bit different here?

[ He's seen that the Nifflers steal shiny things, which he doesn't have to worry too much about. But he does have a few belongings he'd like to hold onto. ]
If you don't have mistletoe then they'll go somewhere else?
voice; un: quibbler
That's the idea. They're very attracted to it, so it's best to avoid it at all times.

But are you alright? It's cold enough as is. Why is it snowing IN your home, Luna?

Oh—! Well... a bit of a spell gone wrong, actually. We're trying to charm the ceiling for the Christmas party.

[She should...address the actual point of the post, too, she guesses.]
I'll keep my eye out for those Nargles. Try and make sure if we got anything easy to cart away it's nailed down. Do they try to steal toys?
[FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. ]
voice;
[ Is there is a particular extra dreaminess to her voice as she says that? Yes, yes there is. Luna is... definitely a fan of Newt, simply put. ]
Toys? [ She pauses thoughtfully. ] I mean, it's entirely possible. Anything easily picked up, really. I've lost all sorts of belongings in the past.
