[when the feed comes on, it’s focused on the very freckled face and curly ginger mop of a teenaged boy. he’s way too skinny, hollow-cheeked and bird-boned with shoulders that hold his shirt like a bent coathanger. he’s also leaning against someone else, but all that’s visible of this other person is a shoulder and a fall of long black hair. the redhead has an affable face, gawky and harmless, and a riot of curly red hair that reaches his shoulders]
There, I think I got this working.
My name’s Ash Trine, and I’m hoping that someone out there can help me out a bit. I’ve got two big questions.
So, where we come from, people have Talents, sort of like the god powers I’ve heard we all get here. But that’s not the only kind of magic there is. There’s magic everywhere, in everything, if you know how to see it and use it. And we do, but that doesn’t do a damn bit of good here.
[he sighs a little, settling more against his silent companion’s shoulder]
But I reckon if the gods are handing out Talents, there’s like as not some kind of ambient magic here, something else we can use. Spells, symbols, rituals, anything like that. And I need to know about that. There’s some stuff I need to do. So anybody who knows anything about it, I’d be much obliged if you’d share. Anything at all would help, I don’t mind having to figure out most of it myself if it comes to that. Just somewhere to start.
Second thing, I’m looking for a job. I’m pretty good with numbers, if anyone needs a bookkeeper, but it’d be even nicer if someone’s in need of a cook. Most of what I know how to make is savory, hearty kind of food--stews, roast and potatoes, shepherd’s pie, that sort of thing, but I’ve been told once or twice that I catch on pretty quick.
[there’s a snort from off camera, and ash turns to the person he’s leaning on]
Are you offering up an opinion, Kieran?
[the voice that answers is considerably lower than ash’s, with a distinct drawl and a definite tone of amusement]
No. I already said you ain’t poisoned us yet, what more d’you want?
[ash rolls his eyes]
Such a glowing recommendation. You’re sleeping on the floor.
[a puppy-huge tattooed hand reaches over from offscreen, knuckling ash’s chin]
The hell I am.
[the feed catches a second of a sweet smile turned at the man offscreen before ash remembers the video and shuts off the feed.]

Anyway, cook. Bookkeeping is something I do.

What kind of food do you serve?
[because no offense, dirk, but you look like you might eat weird future food or something, he's not quite sure]

That sounds pretty nice.
There's a thing, though. He goes where I go, Kieran does. [he gestures in the direction of the shoulder he's leaning against] He won't bother anybody except maybe me, and I'm used to him. If that's not a problem, though, I'd like to meet your boss.
