[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?

[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.

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?

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.

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?

How do the dead reproduce?

[ELIAS.

NO]

I don't believe I could sell my spells.

[Django looks around and taps his skeletal claws together.]

I...actually haven't had that talk yet. So I don't know.

[Sorry Elias. He wishes he knew. Maybe.]

I mean cast spells for money. You know, protection spells. Curses. Potions. Poisons. That kind of thing.

[And Elias will probably never understand the issues with asking a kid where babies come from.

GOOD JOB ELIAS]

I see. Another question for your father, then.

I do make medicines for the town near to mine. Selling them wasn't usually something I did.

[But then, he didn't have anything to atone for here, now did he?]

Then sell medicine. I mean, it sounds a bit goodie goodie to me but if that's what you like doing, do it.

People want medicine.

It's a practical choice. People will always want medicine, after all.

...Good point.

Maybe I can help? I can deliver things for you. Gets me a job and you an employee.

Why would you call making medicine 'goody goody'?

[Elias that is not answering the question]

Because it is?

Medicine helps people and it sounds like you didn't like any of the other ideas like curses or poisons too. Just sounds like you like being a good person. Hence goodie goodie.

Is there something wrong with being a good person?

No. There isn't anything wrong with being a good person.

The world has to have good people in it.

[He will just leave out that's because villains need to have people to terrorize and conquer.]

I see.

I simply found it odd, your phrasing when I suggested medicine seemed to imply you would not have chosen to create medicine yourself.

You seemed to think of curses. And poison.

[Maybe the shadow mage wasn't buying his story. Time to change it ever so slightly.]

Well, you said you were a shadow mage. Most people would think shadow magic equals darkness and some nefarious connotations. Like curses and poisons. That's all I meant.

Of course.

[No inflection. Neither sounding convinced nor suspicious, a mere statement of understanding]

It would be nice for someone to assist me

[Not a lie. Making potions and spells was easier when he had someone else to gather components for him. He could gather it himself, yes, but it was faster with help.

And, well.

Someone had to keep a socket on the kid. Elias was no peace keeper, but with Django looking the way he did... he didn't need anyone screwing up an already potentially difficult situation for himself.]

[His silver tongue works every time...except once. He hopes El Tigre appears here one day so he can get his revenge. He nods and smiles happily at the camera.]

Sounds like we have a deal! So, where are we going to set up shop?

I cannot make a shop of my own until I have worked under someone else here for a time.

... So I will get back to you on my job hunt.

[Django gives a thumbs up.]

Works for me. I think I'll play my guitar in the park for money in the meantime. Maybe I can find a temporary job that way.

So, who is Chise Hatori?

An associate.

[Also, not technically a lie!]

I see. Is she a mage friend?

No.

[Still not technically a mage, still learning]

[A smirk.]

You're being vague on purpose. Okay. I won't ask anymore.

[Someone close to him perhaps. An ally or an enemy. Either way, he wants her and doesn't want to add more than he already has. Good to know.]
