[ When Eggsy starts up the video broadcast, he's standing in an outdoor area of the Station, in front of one of its restaurants. He'd come close to his place during his scouting mission last month, but he hadn't had time to investigate back then. It sounds like they've got some hell coming their way, but there's not much they can do before those mechanical creations appear except for prepare.

Right now, he's planning to kill two birds with one stone. ]

So what's with this place? It's like a tiny slice of home.

[ Despite the modern surroundings, Eggsy's puca is milling around in the background, a dark and nasty creature that he somehow managed to tame -- sort of. ]

Are we allowed to stay here? Then again, might not be the best idea. There's been some earthquakes... I think.

[ They don't get them in London, so he's not that familiar with what they feel like, but still. The ground shaking for a few seconds without any warning... what else could it be?

He draws a hand over his mouth as he runs through his mental list of what else he wanted to ask. ]

Oh, also. Battle's comin' up, I need a teacher for sword fighting and magic and archery. I know there's loads of different kinds of magic, but if you wanna tell me what you specialize in, it might help me figure out where to start.

[ This whole thing is kind of awkward, talking to no one and everyone at the same time, so he finishes off abruptly. ]

Think that's it. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

[ Once he's done with that, Eggsy pockets his locket and starts to explore the rest of the Station, so he's primed to run into anyone who might call it home -- or anyone who's there for a visit. ]

[ The guarantee of privacy is nice, but Eggsy also wonders what required it in the first place. Then again, Seelie can come to the Station too. If it was a matter of keeping their court's strategy hidden, then it would make sense. Eggsy had entered a world that revolved around secrecy back home, so he doesn't question it too much.

He remains in his seat, but sits up straight so that he can keep an eye on what Hiro is doing with the backpack, mainly out of curiosity. ]

Clarke also showed me how runes can enchant items and shit, but beyond that I don't really know what they do. You mentioned temporary invisibility, right? Guess we can start there.

[ Granted, one of those enchanted items can also make you invisible, but it would be better to not have to rely on that. ]

[From that backpack comes several things as Hiro crams his arm up to his elbow inside. It's several stacks of books, a few spare notebooks, a container of ash, some paint, and a few other assorted items that probably shouldn't have fit in the bag if it didn't have an extension charm on it.]

I did mention temporary invisibility. [He looks up expectantly, fully waiting for Eggsy to take notes.] The thing about runes is that a lot of them can have double meanings and it's more about the intent behind them than actually drawing them out. [He opens a jar of paint, grabbing a paintbrush from his pocket.] Like most other magic it's about really concentrating on your intent and what you want to do. With the invisibility rune, it also doubles as a pain-alleviator. We use it sometimes for healing spells. [He's busy painting something on the back of his left hand, showing him the dag rune that isn't entirely closed.] This is what the rune looks like. You just close this gap here to complete it. Pretty easy, right?

[ Eggsy watches as Hiro pulls item after item out of that backpack, to the point that it becomes a clear impossibility that all of that could have fit in there. More magic, clearly, but that doesn't stop Eggsy from blurting out: ] What are you, Mary Poppins?

[ After that little remark, though, he settles in to listen to Hiro's explanation, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his thighs and direct all of his attention to the art project. Eggsy isn't much of an artist unless he counts "street art," but it also doesn't look like these runes are overly complicated. ] It can take away your pain? Why, cause you're erasing it or something? [ Either way, it would be helpful in allowing him to persist in the battlefield even after he'd been injured, although that could potentially be dangerous too.

At Hiro's question, Eggsy scoffs and shrugs his shoulders. ] Looks easy, anyway. Go on.
