asgardeventide | Video | I stepped into an avalanche

[The man showing up on the video feed looks rather young, collected, and possibly thoughtful - but also a bit blank, as if he's very much in control of his feelings, or at least in control of which feelings to show. His left eye is covered by an eye-patch made from simple black fabric, and his fair hair is tied back from his face. He smiles rather pleasantly, even brightly, but it doesn't quite reach that one golden eye.]

You know, I've traveled to quite a few different worlds before this one, but this one... it's rather different. [That is an obvious understatement, but the smile doesn't waver.] For one thing, no world I've ever been to before has taken away my magic, not even the worlds where magic didn't exist. [He holds up a finger to his eye.] But this color means it's completely gone. Isn't that strange?

[A small shrug, as if that is really quite immaterial - and it is. He's managed almost entirely without using magic during his travels, and would have continued doing so regardless. But then again... it also means that he really can't leave.] I can't say I know much about gods, though. The only one I ever met, well, he wasn't a god at the time. He became one later, I imagine it's not the same thing.

[There is a small twitch in his smile, and then he continues in a meticulously carefree voice.] It seems like my traveling companions did't come here with me either. That's another strange thing with this world. I came here without being transported the normal way. [A moment's hesitation, then:] I would like, if you will, to hear what kind of worlds others here are from, and if there are other travelers between worlds like me.

Yes, the beings here tend to do that--they change our natures as they see fit. They give you a new power in return, generally.

I travel to all sorts of different worlds. Was there one in particular you wished to hear about?

Mm, yes, I did notice. I can't say I've ever been able to do these things with shadows before, though it's... rather like replacing a set of tools with a single hammer, if you know what I mean. [He makes a small noise of wry amusement.]

And it does seem like there are some more travelers here. And I don't know... its just interesting to hear about new places in general. [Translation: He is already climbing the walls out of frustration over being stuck.]

Mmm, yes, I rather do.

[At least shadowbending is a useful ability, unlike the one he was given. Or at least it was more useful, especially when it came to helping or protecting others.

Oh good, welcome to the club. The Doctor never spends any time sitting still unless he absolutely has to.]

Well... I suppose... have you heard of Earth?

[It's his favorite planet, so he'll talk about that one unless this man has heard of it before.]

Oh, and I'm the Doctor, by the way.

Vexing, isn't it?

[Although in a way he supposes it's also helpful, since this is an ability that he can use freely without fear of Ashura finding him.

As a matter of fact, being completely without his magic here should make him impossible for Ashura to find. Meaning that his reason to never stay in one place has been neatly taken care of, but that doesn't really matter. He's climbing the walls anyway.]

I have heard of versions of it, yes. But I only stayed very briefly in one, and the other version that I visited was... hopefully very different from the Earth you know. [No really.]

That's an interesting name, but where are my manners? I'm Fai D Flourite.

Your ability is rather useful, actually; with a bit of practice, you can create a great many things from it, and not simply weapons, either.

[Travel gets into your blood after a while--even if the reason you started running in the first place is gone, it doesn't always mean you're able to stop. Or that you even want to.]

I couldn't say--is the one you know often invaded by alien forces bent on destroying, exploiting, or otherwise thoroughly taking advantage of its people and resources?

[Multiple universes? No problem. He's been to a few alternate ones himself already.]

Thank you. It's a delight to meet you, I'm quite sure.
