asgardeventide | First Curse

[Video]

[Mint green hair and golden eyes are probably the first thing people see once the feed starts up, only for the camera to quickly zoom out to reveal two boys, the pair of them evidently sitting in the Sigyn common room if the surroundings are anything to go by. The first of them, mister green hair, is waving quite enthusiastically.]

Hey there Asgard! Nice to meet you all! I’m Hizumi Mizushiro, and I just got here recently with my friend here, Ayumu Narumi. We’re still kinda confused on a lotta things, so I was hopin’ some kind folks could fill us in.

[The second of them, a boy with spiky brown hair, seems far less energetic, but he’s quite polite when addressing the feed. Tucked next to him is… a crutch, oddly enough.]

For one thing…can someone at least explain why I can’t seem to heal my own wounds? I was told I was given healing magic, but it doesn’t seem to work.

[Only because he’s tried it on himself, so far.]

[Hizumi takes the opportunity to push in front for a moment.]

Also, can someone fill me in on the gods here? I mean, it’s kinda weird showing up in a place and gettin’ told you’re staying in Hel.

[Like. He gets that he’s the devil and all but really? Really???]

But anyway, if someone can heal up Ayumu here first, that’d be great. Movin’ around with a crutch all the time - well, it’s not always the easiest thing to do. Especially with the stairs.

[He gives Ayumu a few sympathetic pats on the shoulder.]

I’m fine, it’s just a pain that’s all.

[He seems a little put out by Hizumi outright asking for help for him, but he was at least right, it was a pain. Stressing the still healing wounds probably wasn’t what the doctor ordered.]

[Hizumi chuckles. They haven’t even known each other that long, but he’s getting a feeling this is about par for the course when it comes to Ayumu...]

Well, you heard him! I think that about covers it, so... Lookin’ forwards to gettin’ to know you all!

((OOC: Green is Hizumi and blue is Ayumu. They’ll respond to people separately, but they may also threadjack each others’ conversations for short comments every once in a while!))

I'm afraid that is not how our house's healing magic works here, sir... You can heal other people in need, but your own sicknesses and injuries can only be relieved by someone else with healing skills.

[She pauses for some seconds, then sighs softly.] ... If you still need healing, I can do so. I live at the Sigyn Welcome Hall and I'm heading back there, even...

We can't heal ourselves.....? [Well that hadn't been in the admittedly bare details he's gotten from the maid. No wonder his attempts at using this magic stuff hadn't worked.

The offer to help throws him a bit, though.]

You don't have to if it will be trouble for you. [He didn't know if this magic stuff cost them anything, after all. It still seemed too good to be true that they could just... close people's wounds at will.]

Yes... Those who have been taken into Baldr House can heal their own injuries, as far as I'm aware. Us from Sigyn are chosen to heal others's wounds, but not our own.

[She then realises what he said in his last phrase, and shakes her head per instinct. Then she remembers they can't see her, and a soft sigh follows.] Ah no, no! It's not trouble at all... I was given such skills to help whoever needs it, so it's best this way!

I guess that makes sense. [Especially with the description he'd gotten of the kind of people Sigyn picked.]

It won't cost you anything?

... Why would it cost me anything, sir? [Ah, that sounded a bit rude did it?] I mean, it's both my duty and my will, so it's not something I'd charge for or lose anything for. It's my pleasure... it really is.

I'm just not used to the idea of magic to begin with. [He pauses before explaining. He didn't want to trouble her because he was concerned it would cost her something, but apparently that wasn't the case.]

The idea that here people can heal someone's wounds just like that with no consequence or cost seems too good to be true, for me.

[Ayumu may find his arm raising to bop himself lightly on the head again, though Ninian will regrettably be unable to see as much.]

The lady's offerin', isn't she? Just take her up on it.

[And, apparently directed to Ninian herself:]

Sorry about him. I don't think he's used to askin' for help.

[There's an indignant noise as his arm is suddenly moving on it's own and smacking him clumsily but lightly in the face instead of the head.... mainly because he struggled at the last second against the body control. He needs to get better at this if Hizumi keeps playing with this creepy power.]

Stop that...!

[And, more politely towards Ninian--]

Don't listen to him. I would appreciate your help. [Except really Hizumi had him right on the mark there.]

Ah...! [She's taken by surprise, clearly not used to such situations. But she recovers rather fast, or at least faster than she would've done few ago.]

No, do not apologize... It's all right, I believe I can understand that... I'm not very well-versed in talking to people and asking for help either.

Aw, that's no good! If you really need help with somethin', I'm sure people would be trippin' over themselves to help a nice girl like you!

[If he could see her bright red face right now...] I'm aware it isn't, and yet old habits are hard to part with. But I'm working on getting such deals resolved, so I can take good care of everyone and myself.

That's good to hear. I hope it goes well for you, then!

Also, thanks for offerin' to help him out like this. He's bein' stubborn, but he appreciates it too.

You're very welcome, and I'll do my best... [And she's getting closer to the Hall, almost at the dorway even.] I'm almost here, sir, so I won't make you wait anymore!

Ah... I understand, sir. It did take me a while to understand this as well; my world does have magic of many kinds, and you could say I'm a magic user, but it works very differently from here.

[It's not completely true, but it isn't a lie either. Her dances in Elibe are special even if she lost almost all her powers in her return home, and later she lost said magic in return for her healing.]

It's our duty as Travellers, too... and even if it's not, I do mean it when I say I want to help you.
