[video] a long belated introduction
[ This video opens on a pale, nervous ginger who speaks with a rather pronounced British accent. (London with a hint of Manchester.) Has ... he prepared notes? He keeps looking down off screen, like he's written down everything ahead of time.
And yet, somehow he's still caught a little off guard when the feed starts up. ]
Oh, er - hullo, I'm. Well. I guess I've been here for a little while already, but it's taken ages to. To really settle in? This place is profoundly different and. Frankly a bit distressing. So I'm new here, but not completely new, just definitely trying this video post thing out for the first time and --
[ Deep breaths Martin. Focus. ]
M-my name is. Is Martin Blackwood. If you know Jonathan Sims, then I'm his Archival Assistant. We, er. We both work at the Magnus Institute? He's sort of my boss.
It ... well, it specialises in horror - archiving accounts of supernatural unpleasantness and. The like. I - I've heard a couple interesting stories here already, and I'd like to keep up. Er. Archiving.
[ Another glance down at his notes. ]
If you'd like to contribute, I set up a mailbox here. Just - please make it written or typed accounts only, please? Verbal statements are really not recommended.
[ A pause. Is he forgetting anything? Not on this topic, but... ]
Oh, and if there's any healers about, I'd really love to get your contact information, if you're willing. Just for - for general emergencies and such.

[Should she mention it? Talking about her own abilities is one thing, but she's not sure if anyone else would want their details shared. ...Then again, if what they say is true and memories don't carry back, there's not really any harm. It's unlikely Martin would wind up in her world, or anyone else for that matter.]
I could tell you about Soul Reapers and what happens to a person's soul after they die. It might work differently in other people's worlds, though, so I don't know how useful it would be!
no subject
Oh. That - that does sound significant. Do you have personal experience with it?
no subject
[Her head bobs once in sharp confirmation.]
I've been to Soul Society before. Hueco Mundo, too. It's the world where Hollow souls live. The whole explanation is pretty lengthy, though!
It looks like you got a lot of healers to respond, ne? You can add me to your directory too, if you like.
