video; un: caduceus

[ The video starts with a blank screen and a muffled sound. The one operating it has yet to get used to such technology. After a little blackness, the screen focuses on the Firbolg. His skin is a sickly grey fuzz, drawn in around the cheeks, a little unhealthily thin but not gaunt. He smiles, both his eyes and the shock of mohawk hair are a very natural-looking pink. When he finally speaks, his voice is has a very low, relaxing timbre to it. ]

Oh, hey there. Is this on? Am I sending or however this works?

[ Turning his comm around a few times until he was back in the frame. ]

I eh, let's start again, shall we? My Name is Mister Clay, Caduceus Clay and I just wanted to offer my services to anyone in need really.

[ Oh God, he's not used to public speaking. This is kind of terrifying. ]

Well, healing magic is my forte, among other things. So, like, yea. If anyone needs any healing or their mind calmed, oh, I can also do that too, calm you. I'll uh, I'll be around and willing to help out. I've heard these moons do strange things to folk, wouldn't want anyone hurting when they don't need to.

[ He pauses for a long moment. Contemplating ending it there before finally adding. ]

Oh, um and, one more thing... If you've seen anything, anyone dying or dead around the place... Give me a shout? I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

[ The Cleric's interest in the dead is purely innocent. She has nothing to worry about. He's just not that good at explaining what it is he does. ]

Oh! You have crystals too? Like the ones here? My friend told me there was a whole beach of them. I bet that's really pretty to look at. As is your home, I'm sure.

[ She was a mage who taught at a school? Shame Fjord no longer had an interest in learning magic from mages, or she could have helped him out. He'll inquire all the same, just in case when he next sees him. ]

Cookies that restore magic? Now that sounds like a real treat.

[ Laughing a little as he smiles. ]

Hm well, I do but I didn't know them. I was here before apparently. Which is kinda strange but I'm getting used to it.

They are very different, but also very pretty. My people, we use them as energy to power our technology, or the magic. The beach, it is very pretty, though! You should go and see.

[ She might be able to give Fjord some tips, but her people and warlocks are not quite the best friends. ]

It's a wonderful treat! I am missing the mana, but the sweet, it is still there.

[ Oh, he has a lovely smile! ]

Is it the time, being different? I have heard this, yes. It is very confusing.

[ Caduceus was genuinely fascinated, hanging on her every word. He was very interested in crystals himself, though he'd not had much of a chance to engage in that interesting back home. He was delightedly surprised when he'd learnt of, well, everything crystal related here. ]

Oh wow, sure. Yea, yea that sounds truly wonderful. I need to go there sometime.

[ Cookies that gave you mana? She was so very talented wasn't she? Shame there was no one like her in his world, or well, no one that he knew of that is. ]

I'll have to take your word for it. I eh, I'm not sure I'd be able to cook something like that, never tried before.

[ Smiling again, far too polite to ask her for a taste. ]

Yea, I think so. Not that it really matters much. I know I'm here now and that's the main thing, right?

You absolutely should, you will be liking it!

[ Leaning over a bit, she tilts the camera so that he can see her hands, and then she juts... summons a stack off cookies out of nowhere. ]

It is not for cooking, but still very good. I will bring you some one day, maybe it will help with magic for your world, too?

[ She moves the camera up again so that he can see her bright smile, nodding at his reasoning. ]

It is a very good way to see it, yes! Making the best of it and having a good time. Are you having friends from home?

Now that's so cool.

[ Caduceus beamed brightly as she offered to bring him some, someday. He was getting good at this making friends thing. That's what this was right? He's only done it once before. ]

Oh sure, I have pre-made friends. It's really very interesting I eh, I was here before apparently, don't remember it for the life of him.

[ He laughed, the sound a booming joy of tones. ]

But yea, it's nice, I have friends from home. Do you?

[ It was definitely making friends, and Mina loves meeting new people. Especially someone so colorful! ]

I am glad you have the pre-made ones! A cute way to put it. You were here before? I was here once and then I was going home, but my memory, it stayed the same. Strange, how this place is working.

[ Oh, that laughter is wonderful. ]

I am not having friends from home here, but I am making many new ones. It is very fun!

[ He would be so flattered that she thought he was colourful! Normally he was as pale like a ghost, as white-ish-grey as muddy snow. The moss he'd grown and used to dye his hair and parts of his fur was his favourite colour actually! ]

You think it's cute?

[ He blushed a little. Was it even a compliment? Probably not. ]

Yea, apparently so. I don't remember it at all. Got a suspension it was a me from another dimension, seeing as some people recall being here and I just don't.

[ The firbolg shrugs a little smiling at her sweetly. ]

Ah, well isn't that nice. If you need any more friends, I could introduce you to mine. They're kind people, you'd like them.

[ Jumping the gun, assuming she was even wanting to be his friend. He just really liked her, she was different and pretty and very talented in her magic. What's not to like. ]

[ Oh, she's so charmed by him, so of course she wants to be friends! ]

Very cute, darling.

[ There's a little wink, and then she looks a bit more thoughtful at his idea of dimensions. It could be quite possible, and actually a more easy explanation than anything else. ]

Well, it is only good to know that there are being more of you?

[ He's so sweet, after all! ]

I would be very happy to be meeting your friends. And you!

[ He'd be so pleased to have a friend like her! She's so very interesting and he really digs the way she talks. ]

That's real kind of you to say so.

[ Oh, he loved that wink, it brought a huge smile to his face. He also liked how she thought that more of him would be a good thing. It's possibly the first time in his life he's genuinely been flattered! She even gets a little blush from him for that. ]

Yea, yea why not. We should hang out sometime, I always say it's important to make new friends everywhere you go.

[ Oh, that's even cuter! ]

That is very true, yes. Especially in a new place, friends and allies, they are very important.

[ It would be horrible to be lost and alone here, honestly. Especially if you were young. ]

Whenever you have a free time, I will bring you the pastries and myself!

[ Caduceus chuckled at her response. They really did think alike, didn't they? That was neat. Nodding his head, an exciting sparkle to his pink eyes. ]

Oh, I would very much enjoy your company, especially if you're going to be having baked good treats too.

[ Giving a wink, showing how at home he felt just talking to her. Yes, he was definitely going to have to go and see her in person. ]

Ah well, see that's the thing. I'm always free. Don't really have any responsibilities now that I'm stuck here. So really, whenever not a bother for you, count me in.

You are the charmer, Mr. Clay!

[ She winks back, and then thoughtfully taps her lower lip a bit with her free hand as he says he's available. ]

Well, I am not doing anything here, either. The school here, it does not need magic teachers... so if you want tea and the pastries, you are welcome to come over!

[ Mina give shim her address, just in case. ]

I do not think of friends as bothers, even new ones!

[ The firbolg blushes at the compliment. He knew he had high charisma but he's never really used it just in chatting to a new friend like this. Slightly distracted by watching her finger tap her lip until she speaks again. ]

Well, I'd love to come over. I have just the tea to share with you, to toast this new friendship with.

[ Genuinely excited as he looks over the address. He's going to have to ask one of his roommates to tell him what it says and point him in the right direction, but he'll be there. ]

Miss Minarii, I look forward to this encounter.

[ ooc: Would you like a thread of them meeting in person? ]

As do I! I'll be seeing you soon, Mr. Clay!

[ Smiling, Mina puts her network-thing down and makes sure she has her nice tea cups out, picking at a few areas in her very pink and crystal-filled home to make it a little neater (it's very neat already).

Then she waits for the lovely pink person to come and have some tea and pastries with her. He seemed like such a cutie, and it had been a while since she had a guest. ]

[ It takes him at the very least an hour, maybe an hour and a half? He had to get one of his housemates to read the address and point him in the right direction, but neither the less, Caduceus shows up at Mina's door, rasping on it with the back of his knuckles.

He was dressed in his normal long, emerald green billowing trousers, that hung loosely around the crotch and fit snug around his shins. His boots were tabi-style, space for two large toes, much like Mina's hooves only missing the shoe of bone. His white shirt only had one sleeve, slink and flowing like a web from his right arm. He didn't feel the need to wear his armour though he did bring his Blightstaff, using it to hold himself up and keep his hunched down position at a comfortable 7 foot.

Patiently he waited, looking around and humming a little song to himself, some of the beetles he kept in the Amathyst of his staff, started to buzz in response to his tune. ]

[ At the knock on the door, she happily moves over to open it with a welcoming smile. For once, Caduceus does not have to look down to see someone's face - Mina is also seven feet tall. Unlike the firbolg, she's gone 'native'; wearing a pink summer dress rather than her heavy robes and has tiny clay cake slices dangling from her ears. ]

Welcome! How very nice it is being to see you in person, Mr. Clay!

[ He really was a sweet-looking fellow with a flowy, almost monk-like clothing with a hint of druid in it all. His ears are so adorable, too!

Moving aside so that he can come in, she reveals her home - it's made slightly in the style she's used to at home, with dark, curved woods and purple crystal accents, but with a lot of added modern touches. ]

Come in, yes? Making yourself comfortable.

[ Once Mina opened the door, Caduceus' smile only grew larger. It was so nice not having to look down or bend so that he could greet someone, in fact, he almost automatically went to do it.

She looked lovely! Dressing in such a flattering dress. Seeing her cute horns and tail just made him feel even more at home, some of his travel companions had similar features as Mina did. ]

Ah, Miss Mina, you look even lovelier in person.

[ Giving a bow of his head before stepping in and looking around. Her home was nice! Much nicer than his room back at the house. His room was nice enough for the firbolg, mulch and mushrooms growing but for anyone else, it probably wasn't all very homely. ]

You have a beautiful home, it'll be an honour to make you some tea in such a pretty place. May I sit?

[ Making himself at home was easy around Mina, she just had this wonderfully friendly air about her. ]

[ He was so nice and polite, it was lovely. Plus his hair was her favorite color, which is honestly what drew her in the first place when she saw his post. Mina is sure they'll be the best of friends! ]

Please, sit! I have kettle, it is warm.

[ She gestures to her table and pillows in the living room, before she heads over to pick up the kettle and her cups. Mina is so very excited to have a guest, beaming at the firbolg as she passes him to get into the kitchen. ]

Your teas, are they for drinking normal or with the milk and sugar?

[ If she liked his hair, he could maybe make some marshmallow oink dye for her too. He used the lichen that grew wild on his shield and parts of his breastplate to colour his hair, he would happily make some for her to use too.

Sitting and getting comfortable amongst the pillows and cushions. Her home was very comfortable, hopefully, he was invited back after today, to spend more time here with her. he could get used to it. ]

My tea doesn't normally require milk, but you can add some for flavour if that's how you like it? it'll work out just the same.

[ Calling to her as she passed him to enter the kitchen. Watching her leave and smiling to himself. She was very pretty, he was very taken in by her voluptuous figure, he'd never met anyone like her before, all the people he knew were either full, ripped muscles or very thin and tall. ]

Oh, no! If it does not usually take the milk, then no milk! I want to taste the real thing, no?

[ She gets the kettle, bringing it into the living room with her favorite purple tea cups. They look like they have been broken and then put together again with gold, giving them a really interesting look. Mina loves them, and is happy to show them off for once. ]

There it is!

[ She takes a seat as well, her thick tail coming to rest beside her. Unlike tieflings and the like, it's not really dexterous enough to fold into her lap - especially not with those hips and thighs. Another fun difference between them, being a big girl while he is so thin that she wants to feed him.

...which she will. ]

Now, what is your favorite pastry, Mr. Clay?

[ Her hands move to cast a spell, and suddenly the table has cookies on it - another gesture, and there are cinnamon rolls. At third, and there's a pie. They all look perfectly real, even if they came into existence with a swirl of purple energy. ]

Oh eh, alright then. As you wish.

[ He pulled the tealeaves from a small pouch that was tucked away inside of a deep trouser pocket, getting them ready to pour into her teakettle. Once Mina set the pot down, the Cleric took a moment to look over the pot and the cups. They were very pretty, the gold really made them stand out, he could see why they were so precious to her. ]

Oh wow. I eh... I um..

[ His eyes went large, looking at all the conjured pastries. Jester would have loved this. He didn't know where to start. So, as he looked at her goodies, he carefully started to pout the leaf into the kettle, closing his eyes, saying a private little thank you to the Elf in his head before sitting back and looking at the table once more, noticing her rather large, thick tail and smiling softly. ]

Let that stew a little and it'll be just swell.

[ As for the food... ]

Which one is your favourite? I'll try that one first.

[ She watches curiously as he puts in the tealeaves, and then takes a breath. It smells really good, so she smiles again and nods approvingly. ]

I'm sure it will be wonderful, no?

[ Mina picks up one of the cookies, holding that out for Caduceus. ]

These, I make the most often. They are easy to be carried and easy to eat. I am thinking you start with them?

[ They essentially taste like chocolate chip cookies with an unusual aftertaste of... magic? ]

Oh, it will be wonderful.

[ Caduceus was sharing some of his private stashes from home with her, which he was more than happy to do. After all, what's the point in having nice things if you can share them with nice people? ]

Hmm, a nice and easy cookie. Alright, I'm into it.

[ He reached out and took the cookie, taking a polite bite from it. Chewing a few times before nodding his head. Sure, it was rude to talk with a mouthful but he was almost done chewing so it didn't count, right? ]

Mmm these are good! I like the after taste. Tastes like licking a crystal.

[ A funny thing to say and he won't get into why he knows what a crystal tastes like. Finishing his bite, the firbolg sets the rest of the cookie down and reaches over to start pouring some tea. First, he pours some for Mina then he pours his own, mindful to push his one flowing sleeve back so not to dip it in the drink. ]

Now, try this.

[ 'Licking a crystal' makes her laugh, but Mina can kind of see where he's coming from. Draenei got a lot of power from their crystals, after all, so she can imagine they taste a little like magic. ]

I am glad you are liking it!

[ She sits back a bit more to watch him pour the tea, curiously looking at it and then nodding to his sleeve. ]

It is being very pretty, this clothing. Very delicate, but I am imagining it is not really so?

[ Taking her filled tea cup, she sniffs it a bit and looks quite curious. It smelled fantastic, so Mina takes a sip. The taste was very flowery and nice, a little stronger than she expected a herbal tea to taste, and it was definitely something home-brewed. Like she could feel the care that had been taken to grow this. ]

Oh, Mr. Clay! This is wonderful!

Oh, I like it very much so. Thank you for sharing them. I eh, I hope they don't drain you too much of that Chroma stuff? I know that if I do a lot of spells it can sometimes leave me pretty low.

[ Watching as she took her cup and smelt it, pulling a funny expression at the comment about his clothes. He's never been complimented on them before so it's a nice thing to hear. ]

Ah, yea, thanks, I think they're pretty too. I used to make most of them myself, me and my sister. It's not all that practical but it's easy to move in when fighting I guess.

[ Caucues waited with a held breath, hoping that Mina liked what she was tasting. Leaning in a little excitedly, waiting for her verdict. The moment she said she was enjoying it, the way she called it wonderful made him blush a little pink in the pale fur of his cheeks. ]

You really think so? Ah, I'm so glad, that means a lot. This is one of my favourite blends. I tend not to share it all that often so I'm touched you like it. Can you taste the Dahlia in it? It's pretty rare.
