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.

Sometimes, yeah. But that's for minor things. [ She's thinking ointments for burns and to prevent infections from cuts. ] The big things require surgery.

[ Though she wonders if maybe he doesn't know what that means. It's hard to know what magic can and can't do. ]

And that's my specialty. I'm an OR nurse — err, an operating room nurse. I assist doctors in surgery, where you have to go inside a person to heal them properly.

Y'know, we don't really have anything like that where I'm from. We normally fix each other up.

[ There likely was someone like a surgeon in Caduceus world, but he definitely didn't know what they were or how they operated. He'd seen the other Cleric in his party, axe a man in the head and then simply put it all back together with her hands and a few healing spells. It was gross yet fascinating. ]

Ah, yea, I've seen something kinda like that. A bit scary if you ask me. And I hate having to bring people back when they die. So stressful, what with having to make sure they only passed away within the last 10 minutes... Hoo boy.

[ Big old innocent smile. ]

[ Christine lets out a chuckle at that. Hoo boy indeed. What a funny joke. A fun, sarcastic comment.

Wait. Didn't he start his post by asking about dead bodies? The smile falls. ]

Are you pulling my leg? It's hard to tell.

[eyesofthegrave]

Oh, um no I don't think that's me.

Maybe you should check it out? There could be a Kobold attacking your leg. That's not good.

[ Sorry Christine, he can be very literal. ]
