Axe 01 - Audio - Open to Both Courts - Forward-dated to October 2nd

[Not a video, just audio. It’s clear, however, that the person on the other end is inspecting the locket]

--hmph, thought as much. "Say a phrase and the magic will work", hm? Ridiculous. Who ever heard of speaking over distances with a locket.. Not even Legolas with all his fanciful Elven stories would have come up with something so foolish.

[More tapping and poking can be heard]

There’s nothing special about this at all. No gems, not even made of precious metals...and those creatures expect me to believe their stories? [A snort] I’d sooner believe there’s a man in Rohan afraid of horses! [He pauses, and then scoffs] Bah, listen to me, talking to myself. Legolas must be rubbing off on me more than I thought!

[Click goes the locket.]

There's magic that other people like this have. There are magical creatures -- unicorns, dryads, golems. And the monarchs of each court are powerful enough that they can give magic to others.

[ John shakes his head. ]

Magic doesn't exist, in my world. But here- I've had to start getting used to it.

[gloinul]

Hm. Magic is not nearly so widespread in my own world. As far as I know, only the wizards ever had true magic. Elves have something that is near enough, however.

[In other words: this is going to be weird]

I've seen some of the magic of elves. If that isn't true magic... well, I've got to say that I'm glad I haven't met a wizard from your world.

[ because jfc have you SEEN what Thranduil can do? ]

[Yes, yes he has. He does not like his bro's dad, needless to say]

The most I ever saw Gandalf do was light enemies on fire or blast them out of the way. I am not sure he could do much else, but he was powerful all the same.

Strangely enough, that definitely sounds like something I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of.

[ He's already been chainsawed. It hurt. ]

[gloinul]

[He laughs]

No, no, you wouldn't. Thankfully Gandalf was on our side, if grumpy.

[ And he laughs, too. ]

I'm John, by the way. Or- [ sdlkgh titles ] Staff Sergeant John Grimm, in my own world. Various other things here.

[gloinul]

I am Gimli, son of Glóin. Which would you rather I use, since you seem to have so many names!

[ He snorts. ] John's fine. Kind of a common name, but if you're calling me by it, I assume I'll know who you're talking to.
