[Video: Seelie] 01 Shadow
[Nico doesn't trust the Unseelie side. In fairness, he doesn't exactly trust the Seelie side, either. Of the two, he can at least trust that the Seelie side won't stab him in the back while he's asleep. He expects them to do it during the daytime.
At any rate, he decides to let his...allies (?) know at least one of his abilities. Two at most. The rest are best used as aces in his sleeves or whenever it actually comes up.
So, when the video feed comes on, Nico looks like he's up in a tree. He is because, man, he doesn't want his conversation jacked by Luke like in Jason's.]
My name is Nico di Angelo. The topic of transportation has come up a few times, and if the worms are any indication, then I expect that they're just the start of whatever we're going to be facing in this world. That's not even including the fact that we're most likely going to do battle with other people.
[A flicker of distaste crosses his face. Being a civilian in one war between mortals and a soldier in a war between demigods is just...not his idea of a fun time. Still, it needs to be said.]
I have abilities that don't include being good with a sword. I'm only comfortable with talking about two of them at this time. One is called shadow travel. It's best used at night, but the basics of this power is that I can go from one shadow to another no matter where it is. Distance and the amount of people I take with me have a very important factor in how much of an energy toll I get. Over seven thousand miles on my own will probably knock me out for a straight week, just to give an example. Even short jumps could leave me exhausted. I'm best used for emergency back up or just for emergency transportation if someone gets badly injured.
[Nico pauses, thinking about how to phrase the other one.]
The second ability...I'm able to affect the dead. I don't need anything special, it's just something that's natural for me. From spirits to the walking dead, I can either kill or banish them. Talk to them, too, in the case of ghosts.
[Okay, yeah, that's a lot of information, and hopefully it's useful.]
That's about it.

[She'll just pull out one of her more worn out healing staffs to show him]
There is magic imbued inside the crystal here. We channel our own magic through it to activate and hold it against the injured in order to mend their wounds. The more powerful staffs can be activated from a distance, as long as the healer knows where the wounded is.

That's really useful. Our healing is nothing like that.
no subject
How does your healing work?
no subject
Other than using bandages, there's two ways. One is to use nectar or ambrosia, but that's strictly for demigods. Even then, we can't use too much or we'll burn to ashes. The other way is that the children of Apollo can heal by offering a hymn to their father.

[She thinks about the dangers inherent in magics such as those]
I guess one of the [few] useful things about being in this world is that we can share our magic and talents and improve on them without being hindered by what we were limited by back home.
