[The video shows Graverobber in the forests of Fayren, sitting on the ground in the dirt. It's a little weird, since he's normally never outside of Genessia City or Nova City, but he seems pretty at home in the middle of the woods. He seems to be in the middle of a stone structure that seems entirely unnatural -- the rocks seem deliberately arranged into a cave-like set-up, and yet they are far too large for him to have physically moved on his own.

He's also looking a little...greener, than usual.]

So, I admit, this whole everyone-turning-into-monsters business is kind of weird, but I'm not minding it too much. Particularly since I got superpowers out of the whole deal, which is not something I've ever had. Plus, I'll admit, being able to move rocks around feels kind of badass.

[As he says it, some of the rocks surrounding him shifting, restructuring his little abode into something more expansive. Graverobber doesn't seem worried that any of them will fall, just pleased at their movements.]

This would have been a hell of a lot more useful back when I was, you know, homeless and stealing from people's graves and all that shit, but it's pretty neat all the same.

*As for Faye, she had been drawn to the forests. Genessia Garden just hadn't been enough for her - it hadn't taken her long before she had explored all the flowers there. This had to be a fairy thing, but she felt the complusion to explore nature further.

And so she finds herself in a forest in Fayren. But it has been quite the journey for her and her little wings are really quite tired. Up ahead there is a structure, a cave of some kind, and she floats her way over to it, her sparkle dimmed in her exhausation. At the cave she stops and rests against one of the rocks of the doorway, keeping an eye out in case this place belongs to someone*

[He doesn't really realize he has a visitor right away. All he sees is a little glimmer of motion against the rock, a flurry of something landing in the entranceway. Even when he does see it, it takes him a moment to realize he's seeing a fairy.]

Hey there.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye is tired enough that she hasn't noticed him right away, but she stands a little straighter, still leaning against the rock, as blinks at him*

Well hey there. This your new home, Rock Boy?

*She hovers off the rock and peers into the cave*

Cosy.

[quick_clean_pure]

[He chuckles a little.]

For the moment, I guess. It felt more comfortable than my apartment. When all this is over, I'll go back. Dirt probably won't feel quite so cozy by then.

[myfayevalentine]

I just want trees. And flowers. Shit like that. Must be a fairy thing.

*Faye shrugs and walks along the rock of the cave*

I mean... After this is over you're gonna need a good long bath...

[quick_clean_pure]

I mean, probably. So you'll probably be all right out here at least.

Yeah, I ain't denying that. I'm used to dirt, but this is some next level shit.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye freezes at the mention of shit and looks at him with big scared eyes*

...please tell me you do not mean literal shit.

So, what did you turn into? Any clue?

[ Evie hasn't turned into anything, and she's pretty glad for it. She's also completely unphased by any of what's going on. New Dodge had it's super weird moments, so she's used to this stuff. ]

Somebody else said I was an earth elemental. The way they described it, it sounds about right.

[Have a blueish dragon hybrid circling above upon noticing the rocks' movement. She glides to a nearby tree and (somewhat awkwardly) lands on a large branch, talons gripping the trunk to ensure she didn't lose her balance. After all, this was only what? her second day flying?]

[She settled near the trunk and watched intently, curious to see what was actually happening.]

[action] Totally okay!

[quick_clean_pure]

[He watches curiously at the motion of blue wings in the sky, intently taking in the sight as the form lands and settles against the tree trunk.]

Hey there.

[action]

[willing_sheath]

[She straightens a bit at his voice, tilting her head a bit to focus more--and ok, she sees him in there now. At first all she could see was the rocks moving.]

[She nods in greeting, trying to act like this is normal when it's about as far from normal as possible.]

Hello.

[action]

[quick_clean_pure]

[He grins a little, acting just as casually. Really, he's taking this all in relative stride.]

So, what'd you get turned into?

[action]

[willing_sheath]

[She looks down at herself and and makes a general motion with one hand.]

I'm not sure exactly. Something like a dragon I believe.

And you?

[action]

[quick_clean_pure]

Someone else told me I was probably an elemental. I think they might be right.

Turning into a monster isn't anything to take lightly. [Some of this is bringing up bad and very old memories. But he looks content enough and he doesn't seem to have forgotten his true nature.] Stealing from the dead is a little sad, isn't it?

(Video)

[quick_clean_pure]

Maybe so, but I don't have much choice about it. So I don't mind not minding it, you know?

[At that second bit, he shrugs.] The dead don't care. It never seemed to bother them too much.

(Video)

[soulsflight]

Don't worry about what isn't an immediate danger. (There is wisdom in that and she buries her memories deep. Where they belong.)

Souls exist; it was my duty to lead them once.

(Video)

[quick_clean_pure]

I won't. I'm gonna just enjoy it while I got it.

Not saying they don't. But whatever they're dealing with on the other side or whatever is probably keeping 'em busy. None of them ever bothered me while I was robbing.

Graverobber! Look at you! You can do earth magic now!

[Video]

[quick_clean_pure]

I can! It's pretty sweet, not gonna lie. Being green's a little weird, but honestly, I don't mind it too much.

[Video]

[fairysoul]

Nor should you. One of my friends, back home, ended up looking like a tree because of how much he liked and used green magic. And, to be fair, I thought it looked pretty good on him.

Come to think of it, yours is probably closer to green magic than earth magic.

[Video]

[quick_clean_pure]

I mayyyy not let it go that far. I kind of dig my personal aesthetic as it is. But green I can manage okay.

Huh. What's the difference, then?

[Video]

[fairysoul]

Don't worry. He changed over decades, not over night.

Put simply, earth magic is more about manipulating, well, earth... dirt. Green magic is the ability to affect plants.

[Video]

[quick_clean_pure]

Ah, got it. I think I'm just earth magic, then. I can't do anything to plants as far as I can tell.
