5 ☭ VIDEO + TEXT | OPEN TO BOTH COURTS + SEELIE LOCK

[marred]

[ on january 11, the humming of the macarena comes to a sudden and abrupt halt. it's with a hiss of a snake and the sight of a tongue in the very corner of the camera, it's clear luke isn't holding his locket. it's martha who is, but she doesn't make a sound as a little red fox curls into luke's neck and licks his jaw. she's rowdy and restless, but luke tries to smooth her hackles a little with his fingers stroking her fur. as for the man himself, he looks a little tired. ]

[ his voice is quiet, ] Uh, hey guys. [ the fox in his arms nudges him hard on the jaw. ] Woah, hey, calm down.

Look, I need to make this quick. It's getting colder. I'm not really great at knitting, but — Can anyone help me out here? She needs something to keep her from shivering.

I promised someone I'd take care of her. And — [ he meant it when he'd vowed to the black shuck he'd honour his deceased friend. and that even means doing this. ] Yeah, I'm going to need more than one pair of socks and a scarf. We can work out a trade, if you're not willing to knit for free.

[ the fox settles against him, closing her eyes. there's a quiet hiss of ask from martha. ] And if you can knit two long stockings — [ the camera shakes and luke rolls his eyes. ] And maybe four or so ear muffs — I'd be grateful.

[ and though it appears as though luke's wanting to get off his locket as soon as possible with the fox resting against him, it's all an act. encrypting a text for seelie only, he dictates his own audition advertisement for the seers of the court. please note: this advertisement lacks the extravagance of his cow advert from a few days prior. it doesn't help he has a fox that won't leave him alone in his hands. ]

ONLY SERIOUS CANDIDATES APPLY WITHIN!

Just drop your name and your qualifications, and we'll see if Tyra chooses you.

[you know, most people would zero in on the fox, or perhaps the fact that he's asking for someone to see through the High King's eyes.

this one, though?]

Who is "Tyra"?

[climbed]

I have had visions in dreams since before I arrived to this place.
What's an agency?

[prophesied]

[ Jojen can't help but raise a brow - not at the fox, but at the message that is sent after the video ends. Still, he can't help his curiosity, especially when they're seeking seers.

Meera told him it would be good, to reach out to other seers, so - ]

Agency. Are you speaking for an actual group of seers that reside in Drabwurld? [ That's what he figures it means, anyways. ]
I have had the ability to see the past, far-reaching present, and future for some time now, and the ability persists in this place. No two dreams are alike, but I have little trouble discerning their meaning regardless of length or detail.

[ GURL PLEEEEEASE she's only been trying to find out about things like this since she got here. all she's found is a little bit of information on other Seers of this world, but nothing about how one could, uh, offer their services. either way! ]

I think I might be a little bit offended.

seelie lock; text -- and you're getting the third of team greensight

[greywater]

I know of two from home who see not just what is in front of them. There are others here, too.

[She hasn't asked what court they are in though, and she wishes she had now. She isn't sure what Bran and Jojen would be up to, but she's most likely going to be there with them, especially to watch Bran. Even if he has his family here, she swore an oath, and there is still a war on here.]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

My name is Vanyel Ashkevron and I have the Gift of Foresight. I would be interested in seeing through the High-King's eyes.

If you desire qualifications, I can give you many, however, in summary, I am the strongest Mage in my world. I have oftentimes connected with those who are not human - even the land itself - and been able to forge deep, lasting bonds. I feel I would not falter under the High-King's power.

[muscovy]

You will provide the wool for the knitting, yes?

Text, permaprivate

[gordianknots]

If no one manages to have knitting abilities, might I suggest sending someone to the Station? I realize that dogsweaters and the like might be a bit...silly....but they'd prove useful to you in this moment.

[ she almost doesn't respond to this at all, but considering she'd been there when luke found the little fox, she sort of feels partially responsible for her well-being. she guesses that's probably how luke feels about the dogs; she wouldn't ever admit it, but he's the only one she really ... trusts them with. of course, trust is a complicated word, but she's not sure what else to call it. it's why she'd left them in his care when she'd been gone for two months, right? so she thinks it's similar with this fox — luke probably wouldn't trust clarisse in the slightest with her, but clarisse still feels some kind of obligation to see she's okay if she can help it. ]

[ which ... she might actually be able to. it's been a long time since she knitted anything, not since silena died. clarisse hadn't wanted to learn, but silena insisted because it would help clarisse to relax and introduce her to a hobby that wasn't ... punching things. she never was very good at it and it's not something she likes to even admit she knows how to do, but... he helped her out with her quest, didn't he? he basically pulled her ass from the fiery inferno she'd almost walked into, so she supposes she owes him this much. ]

As long as you don't care if they look like shit. Functional, but I can't promise quality.

[ she can't bring herself to actually mention silena to him; it's one of those personal things he doesn't need to know and she isn't willing to divulge until they get past whatever awkward not-really-friends-but-not-really-just-acquaintances stage, which will likely be never as clarisse is ever the optimist. she's at least let go of most of the blame for silena's death, though, tried to redirect it to being angry at other things, like the gods. for the most part, it's worked. ]
