❄️ video, un: angel

[ It's a girl with plaited hair who graces everyone's feeds with her presence today. Some may have seen her on TV already, though she's definitely more present on stage in the theatre. To those who know her but haven't met her since mid-February, she's matured by a lot. Anyway... ]

Do any of you use Demichroma? I'd like to point out that while it's not worth a lot with Chroma in the picture, it's still an invaluable resource.

[ The video doesn't seem to be in an apartment. It's more of an office setting. A man in a Moon Knight's uniform suddenly starts walking in the back. Weiss looks behind her and tries to tell him to go away.

AHEM. ]

With the right amount of Chroma added, you can use Demichroma to defend yourself. It helps, I think, that you shouldn't just rely on the magic you get from the Moons, if you don't have any other abilities to fight of your own. There's more trouble on the horizon, what with what happened last month, not to mention, that King Majestas which no one seems to have any idea of.

So, this is Demichroma with a little bit of fire, [ She shows a small red crystal to the screen. ] And this is what I can do with it.

[ A Glyph appears next to her when she summons it. Then she tosses the crystal into the Glyph backwards, where a beam of fire comes out and practically toasts the wall behind them. Said Moon Knight who had a cameo earlier starts extinguishing the flames. ]

I'd be happy to give more tips on how to use Demichroma in battle. Of course, if there are other uses for it that you think would be helpful, not just in combat, but you can use energy in so many ways. Let's exchange ideas.

My name is Weiss Schnee. Thank you.

So, how do you do that? Is that something you've figured out?

[ Sorry for asking all these questions, Ana. You've gotten her curiosity bunched up in your palm! ]

[arrowroot]

[It's fine! She actually appreciates the interest in her world.

Makes her a little less homesick.]

Sort of... ?

[She scratches at her cheek and lets a nervous laugh bubble out.]

My brother and I sort of... raised the next Elder Dragon to take over for Kralkkatorik.

[schmisse]

Is that a good thing?

[ It sounds like it is? ]

[arrowroot]

Well, Aurene is wonderful, she's absolutely on our side and wants nothing but good things for Tyria. Some people are convinced that what we did was entirely for power and control, though.

[schmisse]

What are you doing about it?

[ About what they're saying? ]

[arrowroot]

[Ana crosses her arms and lets out a wary sigh, shaking her head.]

Not much more than I already have been. Aurene is her own person-- dragon and really it's up to her to prove or disprove whatever rumors may be floating about. Unfortunately the most vocal of the naysayers have been Charr leaders and they are undoubtedly the most stubborn, hardheaded, stuck in their ways--

[She's getting visibly irritated as she talks, actually twitching a little until she stops herself and takes a breath to calm her nerves.

Clearly she has a lot of thoughts about Charr.]

In any case I did step back a little in hopes that it might calm some fears. If I'm not front and center of everything it may give them the impression that there's nothing about Aurene's presence that is a boon for me specifically. I did send one of my guild members, Freja, to the most recent summit in my place. She's a Norn and they tend to command more respect from Charr compared to humans so I'm hoping she'll be able to smooth any ruffled fur better than I was.

That's better than facing your problems head on, I think... Some people think that fighting's all they can do to solve problems.

[ It's!! Not!! She barely knows Ana, but she holds some respect for her now. ]

[arrowroot]

[She's been at this a while, and she thankfully got the "charge headlong into things" part out of her system a few years ago.]

I wouldn't be a very good guild commander if I couldn't be diplomatic.

[schmisse]

Thank you for answering my questions, by the way. I know they came out of the blue.

[arrowroot]

Oh, it's fine! I like being able to talk about my world, even the depressing parts. I'm... fairly certain I'm the only person from Tyria here? So I don't really have anyone to commiserate with about it. You're more than welcome to ask me more any time.

And thank you for explaining Semblance to me! That really is a facinating ability.
