1st Circuit - Text for Both Courts, Video-locked for Unseelie

[There's probably a better way to do this, but at least he can put out feelers and see what he's working with. Since the decimation of Caer Scima Hiro's been a little more than bitter toward the Seelie and while he doesn't want to have anything to do with any of them, he realizes that as a scientist he needs to gather as much information as possible.]

It's been a long month, hasn't it? I'm not used to any of this. Monsters? Destroying people's castles? It's weird. I was getting ready for class one day and the next I came here and then the fighting started. I think I'm going to fall really, really behind in my homework.

Makes me wonder…what do you miss most about home? I can't be the only one who really misses advanced tech (computers, video games, even the old stuff like VCRs would be okay at this point.) And I know, I know, the Station exists but it's not the same.

So, what about you guys?


[If he can figure out what people value? Maybe they can use that to their advantage, too.]

[Unseelie Locked]

[Now comes the hard part. With that out of the way the video function of the locket clicks on and it's obvious that the locket's hanging from something in front of Hiro. He's in a room at the Station, ever-recognizable blue hoodie hanging loosely on his frame but the sleeves pushed up to his elbows. More importantly than that? He looks a little nervous.]

…hi. My name is Hiro Hamada. I don't know most of you, but I hope you're listening anyway.

[He pauses and looks to the side, evidently looking at someone else who's in the room with him. Deep breath, Hiro.]

It's not a secret that we lost this battle pretty bad. That's a fact, but I think there's something we can do about it to help recover. I know there are other people that don't know how to really fight, or there are people who can only fight with weapons. What if we could do something more than that?

[Give him a second and he's holding up his hand. It looks as though he might completely freeze up but after a short moment a small fireball appears in the palm of his hand. He wants to put it out immediately, but he pauses long enough to at least look at the locket again.]

I couldn't do this when I first got here. [And the fireball vanishes.] Think about how much stronger we'd be as a court if everybody could wield a couple of spells. Even if it's not something you want to use for offense even picking up a few for defense is better than nothing. I know there're a lot of magic users here but…well, Lemina and I have been working on something pretty cool.

[He's going to lean forward and pick up what looks like a piece of paper with a class list and a list of elemental spells written on it to show the camera.]

The Guild's designed to not only teach people how to unlock their own magic ability but hone it and build up to becoming a better magician. We have a few ideas how to use it to help our side of this war. We're going to start classes soon for anybody who's even kinda curious. [A pause.] Look, I didn't even really believe in magic before I got here and knowing the little bit I learned saved me back there. It'd be really cool if you guys considered it and you can always ask Lemina or me if you have questions.

[Actually…he looks off screen toward where Lemina's sitting.] Maybe we should do that now?

[ooc: This is actually going to be open to both Seelie and Unseelie because of the mage university being started by Tzilan just outside of Redgate. Lemina's been putting up flyers around the Station and Hiro just doesn't realize it and has a very strong bias against the Seelie. You can check out more about said-Guild in the class link above, and you can sign up your character here. As an aside, Lemina will also be teaching classes at said-university on her own, but will be keeping the Guild as something separate. edit: also Lemina might pop into some threads as well!]

[ Uh... Huh. The connection is still lost on him, but he can't argue it. There's already been enough weird shit going down that it's probably plenty plausible. ]

Alright, I can do that. How soon do you want it?

No, not really.

[ He pauses, thinking again, then— ]

Give me a day or two. I'll bring it over.

My friends. The ones that are not here that is.

Although to be honest, right now I am more glad that they have not been dragged into this mess than anything.

[He's relieved Hiro gets it but he doesn't know any good answers to his questions. Just worrying ones.]

I was busy, so I don't really know... [He says it slowly. It's more like he ran away.] But I've heard things. I think... they were very angry. At everyone.

[And so everyone has been punished.]

...Any time you want that hamburger, I'd be really happy to make it. [It sounds so sudden but he hopes again his inability to be subtle helps. Lockets aren't safe.]

You could have made flames without my help. [She says it with absolute certainty.] You're the kind of magician that would be going on world-saving quests with my friends! [Though two Hiros and two adventurous Hiros at that would be a bad thing.]

Yeah, think of it as upgrading yourself. Look at your fingertips and think of them as the key to everything.

[Lemina holds up her fingertips and coloured lights appear on them. Blue, yellow, red, green and gold.]

After all the thing magic needs most is confidence. If you believe you can do it, if you can see yourself doing it, you'll figure it out.

[Hey, Hiro, it's your least favorite person.]

A good bowl of shio ramen from Ramen Don. And perhaps the coffee served at WildKat.

[Of course, Joshua does miss certain people, but he doesn't want to admit that or drag them into Drabwurld affairs by mentioning their names right this moment.]

Of course! Or, well, I try not to. Which doesn't mean he doesn't. Like I told you, things are a little complicated with timing back home and all.

[But she's trying. Appreciates how her now being here probably does worry Lloyd all the more all on its own without the added complications of her being pulled here so much sooner in comparison. But so far things haven't been so bad. Mostly. At least she hasn't yet tripped into any walls or buildings. Yet.]

[Texting sucks, unless he's writing and reading Ancient Greek. As Nico highly doubts that Hiro knows that language, he's going to stick to talking.]

My half-sister and...a good friend of mine.

[Nico's really missed Hazel and Jason, and some of that pain can be heard in his tone. He hasn't seen Hazel in almost a year, now. As for Jason...well, if they hadn't chosen to come to the Drabwurld on the Seelie side, he never would've been as close to his best friend as he is now. Jason's the closest Nico can say to having an older brother. Percy...is going to take a while to get to that point. There are too many emotions mixed up with that.

He also misses a certain son of Apollo, but he's not going to admit that or anything, let alone to himself.]

It's only my side if I choose to take a side. Having a shard that the Unseelie Court claims is theirs does not make the Unseelie Court my side. If I take a side as you have, as the people in this world have for centuries, then the only way of 'stopping the other side' is to wipe them out. How many thousands or millions must suffer and die for that goal to be achieved? How many worlds must be ended? I will not aid such destruction.

I will find a way to stop the war through peace. I know a compromise can be reached and balance can come again to this world.

[ Because screw texting; it's hard when you have dyslexia. ]

Modern technology's a big one. The Station doesn't do it justice.

[ He's a mechanic, alright? He had to say something about that. But after a pause, he adds, ] And I miss my best friends. They were both here for a while, but they disappeared before I could even say goodbye.

This country will never be my country, however much I might wish it was. I would not call it a prison but I would not call it a home.

[Maybe in time. Maybe with additional people, additional bonds, but she misses what is left of her family so fiercely she doubts in this moment she will ever find peace here. But there is nothing to go back home to, really.]

A knight carries out orders. There is questioning, of course, but to fully serve someone you must accept that they will do what is best for their people and their country.
