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!]

Magician but sure! They're good for traveling in a pinch since you can grab a broom from pretty much anywhere. I prefer magic carpets but it takes more concentration than a broom.

A hoverboard.... just a board that would float? We should be able to.

[Her research has yet to give her 'hoverboards'.]

Yeah sure. It reminds me of the magic arrow kind of. That flew really high in the sky though, not just hovered. But if it was just hovering, all you'd need to concentrate on is the small cushion of air between you and the ground. Easy!

Well... here I'll draw it without the shell. It's mega-cooler without it.

[She takes the paper from him and draws a strange vehicle before holding it up.]

Presto! What do you think?!

[She slumps. She thought it looked really cool.]

Magic and metal. The control panel adjusts the direction of the arrow and the thrust of the engine.

Maybe when Ariadne masters earth magic, she'll share some of the metal from it with us.

We've just started unlocking her potential but she's going to be a fast learner, too, I can feel it. She has a strong connection to earth. I'm excited to see her progress!

Yes! All of Vane in fact was built by magical architects. But regular towns are built by normal people who can design buildings and understand how to place them in the town or city, things like that. I'm no good at that unfortunately. I know the principles but....

[She knows he's right but it doesn't stop her from being hard on herself for not having knowledge of literally everything. But she nods in agreement. They're lucky to have Ariadne. In fact, they have a lot of good backing so far. It's such a strange feeling.]

Let's see.... Well, that girl, Shijima, is going to pay us just for inventing a flying toy so that's awesome. [Focus, Lemina.] Ellie... we can definitely try combining different spells for her. I won't ask you to teach her that since there's no reason to expose you to that. [A fiery tornado is the last thing he needs.] But she's a Baroness too so she'll be useful to keep happy. I still want to teach that Mr. Primitive guy how to magically enhance his weapons. Put him on the list too. And I can teach that one girl some private potection magic. I guess we should advertise that too but we don't focus on it much, so it's a lower key thing.

[She pauses from her rambling.] Are you and Loki okay. You seemed not okay talking to him.
fliesbynight: ({010})

[personal profile] fliesbynight 2015-03-02 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'll teach Ellie after the basics so don't worry. [She gives him a smile. His fear isn't so bad. He's learning, too, and teaching people the basics will be a good way to help that.] The tech things are definitely your area but if you like them, let's bring them aboard!

[She's making her own notes as well as she thinks.] And Katsa and Thrall sound good. If Wan knows about fire, we'll want him on, too. He might know even more than that.

[As she edits her notes, she adds, almost casually.]

So Loki's getting into your head is what you're saying and reading you.

[When Hiro is already in a delicate shape, she doesn't want that.]
fliesbynight: ({029})

[personal profile] fliesbynight 2015-03-02 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
So we'll see what we can do about getting Wan to join us as a teacher...

[She sets her pencil down and smiles to herself. She understands it. Hiro told him too much - probably everything from the sounds of it - and now Loki can use it to figure him out.]

I get it. So he's wondering where this fits in or what you're using it for? Something like that anyway. I know you have your own wants and desires. That's okay. After all, what would the Guild be if it didn't support each other's aims? We're a team.
fliesbynight: ({029})

[personal profile] fliesbynight 2015-03-02 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He has a point but she wants to make sure he's doing okay first.]

I'll make sure you're not getting pulled into too much, don't worry. I want to rely on you and I do but we're working together on this, so you don't have to do anything alone.

[But he asks the million dollar question and Lemina laughs, a weaker sound than she wants to hear, and tucks her hair back.]

...I need to get stronger. My mother was kidnapped before I arrived. I have to save her but... I was too weak to do anything. Right now, I don't know how she is. There's nothing I can do except get the Guild running and train.

[And now Hiro can guess why she's so hard on herself.]
