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!]

[ definitely not a real answer, and he's giving Hiro a look like he definitely knows it.

sorry Hiro, the if/or thing doesn't quite work for someone who's world consists of nothing but grays, but there's an amusement in his expression that screams 'nice try.'
]

Alas, poor Hiro. We knew him well. He ran and fell face first into a room of cats, which promptly swallowed him with their fat, furry bodies.

[ look Hiro, he's a little concerned but he's not entirely sure how that should be expressed. instead he leans forward a bit more. ]

Just don't drown yourself.

[ that was it. it was so obvious.

he failed.

there's a moment of sympathy that passes Loki's expression, because he understands. Hiro was struggling to get his footing, and his only remnant of home was lost to his hands.

Too well, perhaps.

[ too invested. ]

Not everything that doesn't work out is your fault, Hiro.

[ Loki had given Thor the same words before. when he was shamed by his actions when rushing into the realm of Heven, which, if Loki hadn't intervened, would have gone more than badly, and eventually ended in blood drawn between siblings. it wasn't Thor's fault—situations to that degree are riddled with complexities. Loki wasn't good at not blaming himself, and sometimes, he couldn't find where the black met the white and instead faults and pointed fingers fell to grays. where did Loki blame others, and when did Loki blame himself? when did Loki blame Loki for that matter? ]

You've been busy following your new start. You may not have Baymax to help people, but you seem fine doing it on your own. I hardly meant give up, and more ... don't be too hard on yourself.

It's milkshakes, by the way.

[ ironic. ]

Oh, and Galaga. And The Fast and the Furious.

...

Let me get you a list.

Cars, explosion, impossible stunts, the terrible. That's the whole point.

[ he's holding up his fingers as if this is all very obvious to him. ]

It makes it all the better.

[ there's a pause and Loki's examining him from over the camera, bright eyes moving up and down across his expression as if he's looking for something. ]

The terrible. You're forgetting the terrible. That defeats the point of a bad movie.

[ bOND MOVIES AREN'T BAD MOVIES, SILLY HIRO. ]

Though I'm not going to turn down a milkshake.
