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!]

[Nice to see someone thinks he does make sense for a change.]

Then why do some purposes work here and others don't? I can't seem to find a logic behind these limits.

That's like asking "what can you tell me about science?". There are lots of different methods and anyone can learn, even if you weren't a magic user at home. Powers you bring with you can get messed up when you arrive and you have to "unlock" them like in a videogame. My magic is science based and it took me like a week to be able to pull off a simple fire spell again.

Probably because logic here isn't actually logical. If you have better ideas, I'm all ears.

It is exactly what it sounds like. I manipulate matter down to the most atomic level. To make fire I make molecules shake. Vibration causes heat, physics 101.

[He thinks about that for a second. Well, information about technology isn't exactly dangerous, right? But just in case.]

Lockets can do. Or use the toy birds you'll see flying around.

I WILL the molecules to go faster, I don't think many scientists would accept "mind tricks" as proper science. The spells change but the principle is similar, yeah. Transfiguration means re-arranging the molecules to create something new.

Lots? Nah, just a few that are sticking to me unless someone wants to send a message. Slowly working on more, I need to check the local metals. Something tells me alloys will be limited here.

That's how sorcery in my world works, but as far as I know I'm the only sorcerer from there. I haven't heard of anyone that can do the same here, and I haven't tried teaching. I'm not sure if it would work, the Drabwurld is harsh on science concepts. It's harder for me to do magic here.
