[ his broadcast is the result of unintentional button mashing, his face appearing both upside down and too close to the screen when it's first flipped on. then he's lurching away and dropping the device into the grass at his feet, startled by the screen when it lit up. it gives the network a good, unobstructed view of a man in clothing that clearly belongs to another century. heavy fabrics and leathers with ornate patterns stitched and engraved into them, the hilt of a sword with a bright red scarf dangling from the end, and the curved tooth of a pendant dangling from a thin chord around his neck.

it takes a moment for him to step back up to the device, curiosity overriding fear as he kneels next to wear it has fallen. now his image is sideways and remains that way until he reaches down — hesitantly — to grab it, successfully turning his image upright. ]

What is this? [ he holds it up, above his head, as if illuminating the translucent surface with the sun's rays will offer a better explanation. a thick, distinctly italian accent clings to his voice when he speaks. ] Why— I don't understand. What purpose does this serve?

[ marco gives it a good shake in a poor attempt at jostling answers free. had he not ran from the sudden appearance of weiss schnee's hologram or taken a moment to read over the pamphlet he stuffed into his belt, he'd have a better idea of what this was, nevermind how he came to be in this strange, foreign land. alas, he's currently engaged in a losing battle with a smartphone, and if someone doesn't intervene soon, it runs the risk of becoming forever lost to the shallow depths of garden park's duck pond. ]

Sure, I work as an assistant.

[Her job description is weird.]

I do a lot for a mechanic shop in Nova City. Mostly it's a lot of paperwork and baby sitting... and running around and talking to people.

[She's good at talking to people.]

What is a mechanic shop?

Tony makes... machines.

[Wow, she sucks at explaining things.]

Like robots... like...

[She waves him a little closer and then looks at a spot on the ground. It appears as if she's looking at nothing but after a few seconds a clunking looking robot thing appears. It looks a lot like a transformer because that's all Airy can think of that isn't a toy puppy robot or a furbie.

It walks in a circle and then looks up at Marco before vanishing.]

Not just robots but systems made out of metal...

[ he is more enchanted by the spell itself than the robotic creature that she conjures up within it. magic is something he's familiar with— in theory. there are rumors of witches and warlocks, those who can use their wielding of the dark arts to influence events and ensure that ailments afflict the right people in power. but there's something about this conjuring that doesn't seem dark at all... ]

Magic, [ he breathes in open wonder. ] Wherever did you learn to do such a thing?

What?

[Airy sort of jumps as if she might have done something odd. The robot, which had been solid before, flickers like a fading image and then vanishes. Is it not okay? Is it weird? She thinks it's weird.]

Sort of like magic but not... I just focus on something and I can make it appear. [As long as she keeps focusing.]

[ no, not weird. just... different. and it's okay to be different. marco is pretty much the poster child for different back home in khanbaliq. (since when did venice stop being home?) ]

To me, such a wondrous talent is magic.

Oh... it's okay.

[Airy's trying not to blush.]

I'm still getting used to it.
