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!]

"Most people at home don't have a problem with the guild." [It's a pedantic correction. She should get used to it. He only does that level of pedantry when he's being an ass, but he defaults to it easily when he wants to be one.]

And personally, for teaching bits, I'm just telling people when they can show up. If someone got there first, not my problem. [Jason's not a good teacher of anything.]

[/sprays you with water]

Absolutely not. Generally, it would taste pretty bad together considering that bitter and salt do *not* go well together like that. At least, not for my palette. I wouldn't do it specifically just because I think WildKat's owner would have many words to say about that. None of it good.

[Mr. H takes his coffee seriously.]

Uh...depends. In this place, I technically haven't seen my sister in a year as of April 1st, and my best friend for...maybe half a year or more. He left a while ago.

[Nico hesitates.]

My older sister, though...she was brought here for a month, maybe, and then left. I hadn't seen her in four years. I didn't see her as often just because it was hard to. She was in another Court.

[Damn has he changed in the year he's been here. He's never been so open about mentioning Bianca, but...well, after her arrival and quick departure...he doesn't want to forget her, and the pain has receded enough to talk about her a little bit.]

[Wan let out a light laugh.]

That's never been a problem for me. But thank you.

He isn't a fan of doing things like drinking coffee with shio ramen. He'd be very miffed at me for ruining both a good dish and his best coffee.

WildKat mostly serves donuts and muffins to go with the coffee. They compliment each other well enough.

I...made my own family with some of the people from other worlds. People I'd miss just as much as my sister.

[Letting go of the people he loves has never been Nico's strong suit. After losing so many of them in a short amount of time...he's just held onto them and his memories of them even tighter.

He hesitates a lot longer before answering.]


She died when I was ten.

[It's not noticeable, but Nico's free hand tightens into a fist. It's released quickly, but...well. A shadow of his pain does haunt him whenever he thinks about it.]

Saved some demigods she went on a quest with. Electrocution or she got...crushed. She'd been in a metal, prototype version of Talos, so either was likely. Her body was never found, but, even though I could talk to her ghost...it wasn't the same.

[He takes a very deep breath and lets it out slowly.]

And then she chose to be reborn, so I'll never see her again in my lifetime.

Yeah, you're right, Hiro. I'm doing nothing. [He's not offended, but he is agitated.] The reason why you failed at the previous battle is because you ran into a battle where you didn't belong. You're gonna be a target no matter what. So, now, what, you think you need to run yourself into the ground to prove me wrong?

Oh, he certainly knows how to go with the flow. He has to be, honestly, just by being an artist as well as a barista. He just has an obsession with coffee. A slightly unhealthy one.

I would imagine that you've gone on more than one raid.


[Hiro can be cautious all he wants. Joshua doesn't care...he just finds it funny.]

[Oh, yes. Yes, he gets that very well. Oddly, it sets him a little more at ease with this conversation.]

Seems like a typical older sibling thing to do. I can only hope I don't end up doing the same for Hazel.

[There's a sad sigh.]

When a soul's reborn into another life, they have to bathe in the River Lethe. It completely wipes their memories, I think so it doesn't interfere with their decisions in the next life. Achieving Elysium or paradise three times means going to the Isles of the Blest, the ultimate paradise, after all. I don't know if that's what Bianca was planning on doing, but....

[But it was perhaps better than the existence she'd been forced into.]

That's right! We just have to learnt he limits here. We can't break them unless we know them, right? So let's both do our best to find out what other magicians have already tried and see if we can improve on it or break it another way.
