[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.]

H3Y W1GGL3R! WHOS YOUR FR13ND? >;]

There's a guild named Grimoire Sigil who deals with the... magic, [ a word he doesn't agree with, but fine, ] we haven't been assigned. Runes, mostly. Aladdin is in charge of it.

Stuff you need to do. I'll need an elaboration on that before I give out answers.

[Have a wide, doofy grin. That last bit was kind of adorable and he's trying really hard not to go 'awwww' out loud-- he manages to tamp down on that immediate response enough to turn his attention elsewhere, though, clearing his throat quietly.]

I feel like I'm saying this all the time lately, but I can't say I've heard much about any latent magic here so I'm not terribly helpful. Just be careful hunting that kind of thing, yeah? I mean, if you have experience with it I'm sure you know, but it's got a way of being a little weird. I'm pretty sure my cards have just been mocking me since I got here, and they're the closest I've got to any kind of occult stuff.

[ ooc: if the text color or the quirk bother you, let me know! I know it's a pain ]

n cakes
do ya know how ta do those sucka

I see you've already gotten offers of assistance in the area of magic. I can confirm the library is a good resource. It's also important to note the more residents are restored to themselves, the stronger the talents we're given are.

Job wise, I might be able to help. I just have to talk to my boss.

There's another type of magic called runic magic. If you want, you can ask anybody who's part of the Grimoire's Sigil for more information. Or you can come to our guild headquarters and read some of the books we have on it - there's a whole library there!

[She thinks the whole magic talk is pretty fascinating, but there's really one part of the whole message that she's interested in.]

Can both of you cook?

[tiny helpful thing is just going to address the shoulder and the hair, because that's totally reasonable]

Are you settling in, then, Kieran?
