video; un: caduceus

[eyesofthegrave]

[ 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 warmth of the smile that Fox offered was almost as bright as the sun coming out from behind the clouds. ]

You just met me and you’re already offering to take me home with you, [ he teased, but mostly in an effort to cover up how truly touched he felt. ]

Unfortunately I don’t think we have much of a choice. Not until I figure out extra dimensional magic, anyway, but ah- that’s not going as well as I’d like.

[ The brightness in his look faded as Caduceus continued, something closer to sympathy taking over. ]

She gave you your magic, right? So she’s still with you. Even if she didn’t get to come here with you yourself, you’ve brought a piece of her here, right?

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Tease all you like! This is Mr. Unflapable you're talking to Foxy! Though seeing his smile so bright and vibrant was wonderful. ]

I am? Yea, I am. I think you'd love it in Exandria.

[ Funny he should mention that actually. ]

Oh, hey, well, we could always ask Mister Caleb. He's pretty smart, does all that wizardry dimension stuff.

[ No, no we can't because Caleb's not here... Honestly, he feels so at home around Fox that he's forgetting he's not at home. Sweatdrop. ]

Yea, you're right. That's what Fjord said too. And, I mean, I've got him here too, so I can kinda feel her through him y'know?

[ Caduceus' smile seemed soft and full of emotion as he nodded. Fox just seemed to know exactly what to say. ]

You're a very wise person, Mister Fox. I'd like to get to know you better. In the flesh.

[ He means in person he needs to learn how to actually talk to people properly without coming across the way he does. It's difficult okay? ]

I'll fix you some tea.

[foxable]

[ Exandria. Even the name sounds fantastical. He can’t help but feel a rush of fondness. ]

That’s really kind, Caduceus. I mean it.

[ But the thought got instantly derailed by talk of magic. ]

You know a mage that’s working in dimensional magic? [ If Fox’s ears could prick and stand to attention, they would be doing that right now. ]

Is he your friend? I’d love to meet him! Is he here? Has he written any papers on the subject? Ah— sorry sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself again.

[ He laughed, rubbing his head, embarrassed. ]

Haha, I don’t know about wise, but. I do my best.

And I would love some tea. Where should I meet you?

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Caduces laughed. ]

Tell you what, Mister Fox. I'll tell you all about my world, about the magic in it and the people I adventure with over a nice tea.

[ Seeing as his home is actually Molly, Fish and Fjord's home first, he decides not to just randomly invite people over. ]

Where do you live? I can drop on by.

[foxable]

[ He grinned wide. ]

Yeah! Yeah, I'd love that.

[ He rattled off an address, and then-- ]

Oh, oh shit, I better clean up-- ah! I'll see you when you get here!

[ And the video cut out. ]
