Video?; Both Courts

Hello?

[The video feed is pitch black with Jude's face barely visible on it, mainly, because it's the middle of the night and Jude had the unfortunate luck to arrive outside of Caer Glaem, several miles away in the meadows surrounding the stronghold. The explanation he'd gotten from the fairies was brief at best, confusing at worst, and he's already walking towards the nearest looking settlement-- the castle.]

Am I using this correctly....? It's too dark to see much...

[Jude's lucky he has good reflexes-- he trips and the video feed jolts, but he quickly corrects himself with a small noise of surprise, grip tightening on the locket in his palm. He speaks again after wrapping the chain attached to the locket around his wrist, frowning a little.]

...Could anyone explain where I am? I think I see a castle in the distance, but it's so dark out I can't read the map they gave me.

Heh, yeah, it does. Hi to you too.

[He'd laugh about a kid being excited by the locket- but honestly it was weird to him too when he got it]

And..that'd be Caer Glaem! The Seelie's stronghold.

[When Slyphjays were the only long distance communication option Reize Maxia had, something like this was pretty amazing. ~~at least for now.~~]

Really? I think I'm supposed to be going there, so that's fortunate.

[Why he ended up in the middle of nowhere was beyond him, though.]

You are?

[Yeah this is also new to him]

Why? What business you got there?

I was told to go to the Seelie court by.... [Actually he's not really sure who or what they were, only that he might have annoyed them with all his questions, given he was promptly ditched mid-explanation after too many of them.] the ones who gave me this.

Yeah?

[Well, he sounded new or confused enough. Still...]

You mean the Imps?

[Yes, this is a trick]

They kind of... left, before I could ask much. [Sheepishly said.]

They looked like little people with wings, if that helps.

That'd be the fairies then. [Okay, not the most fail spy maybe]

Talk about bad luck though, most new arrivals get brought to a feast.

[Jude would be a very poor spy indeed.]

A feast? Really?

[Well that was just his luck...] They did seem a bit annoyed when I asked questions....

Yeah. A pretty nice one too.

[He lets out a "ha" sound]

Maybe you pissed them off.
