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!]

[He's looking forward to this explanation. This'll be a good one.]

[Hiro's making himself the poster child of the noncombatants without realizing it.] Besides, you really think I'm going to stay without learning everything I can? What happens if another battle starts without warning? I'm gonna be ready this time.

I'm not trying to prove anything to you. [Except that's exactly what he's doing, and they both know it.] I'm not gonna run myself into the ground. How many times do I need to tell you I can handle this?
video | unseelie locked
[The fact that Hiro starts getting so animated actually calms Jason down, like he likes the reaction he's gotten.]
video | unseelie locked
Hate to break it to you, but you're not even going to get the chance to say it then. Sorry.

[Good pun, Hiro. Four for you.]

You have a complex about failing on the battle field.
Get over it.
video | unseelie locked
I'm not the only one with a complex here. [Though what the hell Jason's is, he has no idea. Not the full extent anyway.]
video | unseelie locked
video | unseelie locked
[It occurs to him though that something doesn't add up.] Why do you care so much anyway?
[If he's pegged Jason right? He'll deny he cares and he'll drop the subject and Hiro will win by default.]
video | unseelie locked
Didn't I just say what I was doing? This whole damn world is a battlefield. Open your eyes and live up to your ... well, almost name.
video | unseelie locked
I'm living up to it by getting other people up to a level where they stand a better chance of surviving. Why is that such a bad thing?

You suck at magic, Hiro. Why the hell are you training people in it?
video | unseelie locked
[...ow. Wow. Thanks Jason. He looks momentarily stunned, like he's not even sure how to respond to such a statement, but he's quick to recover.]
You don't know what I'm capable of, dude. Trust me. I've got this.
[It's probably best not to tell Jason that he could probably create giant fireballs and burn buildings single-handedly if he wanted to. Not now, anyway. Though Jason has a point. Hiro can use the magic perfectly fine. It's the control he has to worry about on and off. But he's learning. Learning by doing. Doesn't that make sense to anybody?]
video | unseelie locked
But you're no more an expert in magic than I am. What if I was up there offering to do this?
video | unseelie locked
[A beat.] Also you can't train people to build things around here the way they should be. That's what the elves and natives are for.
