[WHO THE HELL IS THIS.

For anyone who might have recognized the frequency, he did just get here after all, this was definitely not the face some saw if one actually went out to meet him.

Definitely looks like he's in the commons, and yes, that is a tea cup he's holding and yes, that is a garden variety roast beef sandwich. Other than the grinning, toothy skull in the foreground, this scene probably couldn't get any more standard for any other person.]

I would like to extend my thanks to those who assisted me during the storm. I appreciated your help.

I am aware that my first transmission was sub par, information-wise, and I would like to remedy this.

My name is Elias Ainsworth. I'm a mage.

[A beat]

Yes, my head looks like this. No, I am not dangerous. That should cover your questions in that area.

I am, currently, looking for someone, though I don't believe her to be here. If, however, I am not correct, or if she has just arrived, her name is Chise Hatori. Short red hair, green eyes, slight build, in her mid teens. I would appreciate it if anyone finds her to direct her towards me as quickly as possible.

[Another pause]

I am also seeking employment.

[THAT SHOULD BE GOOD RIGHT]

[Upon seeing the skull head, Django hits the response button before his brain catches up with exactly who he is seeing.]

Dad?

[Then a blink of realization. No.]

You're not...

...Sorry.

Uh...hi. I'm Django of the Dead. ...How goes the job hunt?

Re: [Video]

[thornmage]

[DAD. The skull pulls back a bit, the light inside the sockets brightening for a moment]

No. I'm not. Are you looking for him?

[The canine head moves in a touch closer to the screen, getting a good look at the skeleton on the other side]

Undead then...

I haven't heard anything yet from anyone.

Re: [Video]

[skeletalgrandson]

That's me. Been undead since the day I was unborn. [He grins, clearly proud of himself and his heritage.] I saw a skull face and heard your voice and...I'm not really looking for him. I would be happy if him or my Nana came here. But oh well. So, you're a mage huh? What kind of mage?

Re: [Video]

[thornmage]

How are you born undead?

[Hey, he's curious. That's not a very typical thing from what he's used to]

I see. Then I'll look out for someone who fits the description and send him to you if he appears.

I prefer shadow magic.

Re: [Video]

[skeletalgrandson]

Well my dad was already undead so I was born undead too. His mom, my Nana Sartana of the Dead is a famous undead woman.

I want to be like her when I grow up.

Shadow magic? Sounds cool. I can do some magic with my Mystic Guitar. Maybe you could sell spells or something?

((If you don't mind me assuming she got his name at some point))

Feeling less shy today? Good for you.

Well, unless a mob comes to burn you. [Deadpan.] Haven't seen too much of that here, though.

Re: video

[thornmage]

I have yet to see what the full reaction will be, but from what I have gathered, I should not cause a stir.

I hope you will understand why I did not choose to show this face when I first arrived.

[trivialization]

I'll call you stubborn since I pretty much knew. But it's the same where I'm from, you can't show a face like that on Earth. It used to be the same for openly using magic, too.

[thornmage]

Mages and beasts have no issue with me.

[It was your average vanilla human that started getting nervous, and Elias didn't long tolerate yelling or panicking.]

But indeed, I'm aware of the dangers of showing up and appearing out of the norm.

I would not call it stubborn....

[It was though. He was totally being stubborn.]

[trivialization]

It's stubborn to say you aren't stubborn too. [A plea of innocence is guilty of wasting my time and all that.]

What do you mean when you say mages have no issue with you? By law, by custom, by happy circumstance?

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[Oh, another undead mage, neat.

She's grinning a little, hands pressed gingerly together.]

Weeeell~ There's always some places around Everglade hiring, though were you looking for something in particular?

Re: [Video]

[thornmage]

[You're about to be disappointed, Lydia]

I made medicines and potions for the town I lived by at home. I would like to continue to do so here.

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[BOO. BORING. WASTE OF A MAGE.

She's visibly deflating with a soft huff, resting her chin in her palm. Yeah, not the answer she was hoping for.]

Ugh, a healer. I guess you could set up your own place or do freelance work if you really wanted to, I think there's some healing group or whatever around here, too, might have some connections.

Seriously, though, why waste magic on that?

[Video]

[sword_dancer_e]

But sir, are you dangerous?

[His tone is clearly mirthful; which is a bit of a rare thing. While the head shape was lacking in normalcy, Elias was hardly the strangest thing the knight has met.]

I have been told that if you ask the CPU; it will inform you whether a user under that name has been registered.

Re: [Video]

[thornmage]

[It takes him a minute to actually process that it was, in fact, a joke. Sorry man, Elias doesn't get sarcasm a whole lot]

Ah.

I just-

[Elias, baby. It's a joke, sweetie]

... No?

[God bless.]

I see, thank you. I should be checking it regularly then. She should not be on her own here.

[Video]

[sword_dancer_e]

I am glad to hear it, Sir; it makes protecting the citizenry easier.

[Just roll with it Elias; such moods pass quickly for this one.]


I will make a note of her description and send her your way if I encounter her. Is this prone to finding trouble?

Re: [Video]

[thornmage]

It is through no fault of hers. I would say trouble seeks her out.

[Tis the life of a sleigh beggy after all.]

She is the safest with me.

[pianola]

You could have used video in the beginning.

[ A small pause. ]

You can easily search for known 'visitors' in Genessia using the CPU.

Re: [ Video ]

[thornmage]

I felt it may have alarmed a few people. I dislike yelling.

[Or any loud human noises, honestly]

Thank you. ... I don't believe she is here at this time. I will have to check again later.

[Yeah. That's right.

He's gonna keep checking.

Forever.]

[ Video ]

[pianola]

Shouts and yelling can be alarming.

[ They were alike in that way, at least. ]

But Genessia has many people who are not so-called normal humans.

[ There's a pause as she thought over an idea, turning it about: ]

I don't know if you can ask the CPU to alert you if someone appears.

But you can ask.

[ivegotadream]

I wasn't going to ask if you were dangerous. I don't know why anyone would want to ask that.

[Except maybe his head did look a little scary.

As for your friend. I will promise to do my best and keep an eye out.

Re: video;

[thornmage]

Most people find my face disagreeable.

[At first, anyway. Then they just find his personality disagreeable!]

... We are friends?

video;

[ivegotadream]

Why? I must admit I might not know certain things.

[She tilted her head slightly.]

Well you were asking about your friend right?

Re: video; BE SQUID AND MISREAD POSTS GOOD JOB SQUID

[thornmage]

[... You know? He's not gonna give her a reason to find his big scary dog skull head weird]

If you do not mind, then this is all that matters.

Ah. Yes.

video;

[ivegotadream]

Then as I said before, I will keep an eye our for your friends. It's the least I could do.
