[It might be a little nippy outside today on this pristine morning but there's barely a cloud in sight. Elatus given up on wandering for the time being after waking at the pier. He settled within the park beside the pond for awhile just people watching for the time being. While he's honestly quite perturbed about his sudden arrival here, Elatus couldn't help but feel somewhat thankful.
Genessia is a rather beautiful city. It's a very modern metropolis, quite different from that of Illyria. There's no horse drawn carriages or the repugnant smell of garbage, manure and whatever the hell else on the streets. It's all quite different, almost surreal. Elatus couldn't help but be somewhat giddy. This a brand new experience, one he would treasure despite the nagging feeling that he honestly doesn't belong here. He's been putting off that thought for some time now and it's only becoming more persistent as he wanders aimlessly through town.
Eventually, Elatus decides that strolling around Genessia is too much of a nuisance and decides to experience the city from a different perspective. So if you're roaming around the city doing errands, try not to scream when something colorful zooms right past your head.]
[ video ]
This city is so big!
[Hello, Genessia. Don't mind the overgrown humanoid butterfly upon the screen. This cheery and colorful creature is one of the city's newest residents and it seems he's quite excited to be here. A little too excited given that he's just been kidnapped to some strange alternate reality in a world far, far away. Nevertheless, the faerie is all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Those large purple pupils are just getting wider and wider with excitement.]
Is everyone here from a different world? I already met an ambassador from the Tevinter...Tevinter--um. [A pause.] Oh, Imperium! Yes, Tevinter Imperium.
That's the place! A rather grand name, no? I hail from the Illyrian Empire. We're not as grand as the Tevinters but we have our quirks--
[The faerie pauses for a long moment once he finally catches his reflection within the screen of his phone. It seems he forgot that he's a giant sentient butterfly right now and not "human". Cue in the awkward ]
[ It's very clear from Dorian's expression that he has no idea what he's looking at. That being said, considering some of the things he's seen in his recent memory, a giant talking butterfly isn't all that spectacular.
However, seeing as he's the only "Ambassador of the Tevinter Imperium" around and he as no recollection of meeting said talking butterfly...it was time for some information collecting.
Thankfully, his headache from the previous evening has subsided. ]
Oh, we aren't as grand as many of us would like to believe, but, hopefully, that can be changed, given time.
[ He crosses his arms, looking at the video for a moment before adding. ]
I must have gotten very drunk last night. I don't remember meeting a giant talking butterfly man.
A faint sigh escapes the faerie once he sees the pompous mage. While he's still on the fence about this knave here, Elatus at least recognizes that the Ambassador isn't a threat. A nuisance, maybe. However, not a threat.
The two may have to 'agree to disagree' on regards to their differing philosophies but still.]
No, no! Alcholol wasn't involved here, I assure you.
[The odd creature says with a nervous chuckle.]
In fact our meeting happened a tad earlier before your rampart drunkenness.
[ The shade of blue sported by this man-butterfly is what tips him off first, as he's seen it in recent memory, and nothing else that color (though he wouldn't mind ropes if the hue, if he were honest. That could wait...until he started earn a paycheck, damn this place.
His eyebrows rise in recognition as his still-recovering mind finds another piece and attaches it to the first. ]
Professor Shape-Changer! [ He does, of course, recall his actual name. ] Is this the real you or vice versa?
Elatus is honestly a little startled when the image of this pixie-like girl suddenly appears upon the screen. Her eyes are as green as a freshly cut blade of grass. There's an odd shimmer in her gaze that wins a slight look of puzzlement from him. Goodness, she looks terribly excited to see him. It hasn't dawn on him yet as of why but eventually he'll realize.
After all, it's not often that he sees one of his kind anyway.]
...Yes? [He answers at last after an awkward pause.] I'm indeed a fairy. There's not many of us left but---
[The overgrown butterfly blinks his eyes some once he notices the strange puffy things upon the girl's head.]
Ah? Are you a "fairy" as well?
[ video ] 1/2 - that's possibly one of the best days of her life!
[Mavis' eyes widen even more if possible and her jaw almost drops as Elatus confirms that he is indeed a fairy.]
You are? For real?
[She's been waiting for so long to see one, to talk to one. Even since she was a child on Tenrou Island. Her Mom used to tell her such wonderful stories about fairies. And even if Yuri had later lied to her when he had pretended he could help her meet a fairy, not for a second had Mavis ever doubted their existence.
And today, finally, in a world far from her own, she is finally getting the opportunity to talk to a real fairy.
It takes a few moments for the information to true sink in. A few tears form in her eyes but she hastily wipes them off. She presses a hand above her heart.]
Do you see, Zeira? [She whispers as if she was talking to someone inside of her.] It's a fairy. I told you we'd find one. ...And this one is even more beautiful than the ones described in my books.
[ video ] 2/2 - fairies exist, Mavis just met one ^_^
[She suddenly snaps out of her awe and her attention returns to Elatus as she realizes she hasn't answered the fairy's question. She doesn't want the fairy to think she's rude.]
Me? No, I'm not a fairy. [Though deep inside, Mavis finds it very flattering that a real fairy would think she's one too. It's the best compliment Elatus could have given her.
She bows very respectfully.]
My name is Mavis, Mavis Vermillion. I come from the city of Magnolia, in the Kingdom of Fiore. I'm very honored to meet you.
A-Are you a butterfly person? H-Have you ever been to Theskittle?
[Though not quite the same as the people of his world, it was close enough for him to ask. After all, there were butterfly people and moth people on his world, as well as various others, so he could very well be one of them.]
[ Alley spent the duration of the video just sort of... acclimating to a talking butterfly person. By the time she turns it on on her end, her expression's neutral. ]
[A look of confusion settles within those pupiless lavender eyes. He knows what "earth' but not in the form of an actual world. Thats why he seems somewhat confused. His world isn't called 'Earth'.]
How many different types of people exist? Is everyone just being gathered---!
[The faerie trails off and blinks his eyes several times when something pink suddenly appears. It looks like a pink little cat with brown ears. It's quite cute.]
Oh! Why hello!
[He enthusiastically waves at the little pink fluff ball.
That's what the planet is called. Most of its surface is water, but people live on the dirt parts.
[ He doesn't know how to distinguish Earth from other worlds. Especially since he doesn't remember much about it. He spent way too much time in Neverland.]
I can't tell how many. There's infinite possibilities.
[ Cleffa starts chattering in Pokémon language, happy to make a new friend.]
[Now Elatus been called many things but that compliment is something of a rarity. Being called "beautiful" brings such a smile to his face. He's grinning like mad now. It seems that these people are forgiving of his odd form. Most people would honestly be somewhat afraid of him as he is now.]
[How cruel! It's bad enough that Elatus can't see out of one eye but to smack him on his blindside is beyond cruel.]
Skree?!
[Elatus tumbles right into the grocery bag at full speed and practically tears through it. He stumbles onto the sidewalk ungracefully covered in whatever the heck the woman is carrying. So yes, there's an overgrown butterfly about the size of a kid laying in a heap of fresh produce.
Nice.]
Who did that?!
[At least he doesn't seem injured. If anything, he's a little rattled.]
[Doot-de-doo, sure is fun walking around with no apparent purpose in mind! Ted does it all in mind. A not-as-colorfully dressed man is walking around with a shadow not quite in keeping with physics, but only long observation would note it.
When a colorful something whizzes past his head, he makes a brief yelp, grins, and then gives chase. He wants to know what that was! He's off on the street with all the determination and curiosity of a paparazzi.]
[Elatus glances over his shoulder briefly once he heard someone shouting at him. At first, he thought it was just an angry pedestrian but soon he realizes he's being chased. The faery swoops upward towards the sky once a strong gust of wind flows past. He glides upon the wind effortlessly before suddenly halting in midair as he turns.]
What?! [He yells from above. The butterfly-like faery is rather high up now, a good five stories up.] What do you want?
[There are probably more effective ways to carry a conversation than a vertical shouting match. But he's not about to leap tall buildings in a single bound; they're getting more than enough weird looks as is.]

No need for apologies. A compliment is as good as a greeting.
