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.

[ Listen, compared to Caduceus, everyone is a tech-genius, okay? The guy is terrible when it comes to this kind of thing. Besides, the world he comes from you have to attune yourself to certain things if you want to become proficient with them and the Cleric can't really do that right now. ]

I'll look forward to it. You can show me how to tech and I can make us some nice tea.

[ Yea, The Mighty Nein, ass they like to call themselves, often find trouble just happens to and around them, unfortunately for those around at the time, but all in all, they're a good bunch. Caduceus smiles as Peter says he has an affinity for colourful people, it makes him feel much more at ease. Oh, and he had a girlfriend who was Fjord's colour too? That's neat! ]

You know, you might be right about that. I would like to think that my family spreads past the reach of the Blooming Grove. We very well might be long lost cousins, your group and mine. Oh, wow, your girlfriend is a Half-orc too? Or is she more like Nott and a Goblin?

[ Forgive him, those are the only green people he knows from back home! Though there were possibly other races that could be green he supposes now that he's thinking about it.

Thankfully, Caduceus' race is common in Exandria where he's from, though they often keep themselves to themselves, Firbolg's are known for their towering heights that enough places cater to their needs. That and Caduceus family probably make all of their own clothes, hence his very romantic, flowing shirt with just one silk sleeve.

About those dead elves... When he says he buried their youngest, he's just assuming that Peter would know that the youngest was over 200 years old. They tend to live for hundreds of years so even at 200 they had still been classed as young. Heck, if he was to ask Caduceus about his age he might be shocked or surprised. ]
Ah well, that's my job as a Grave Cleric. I keep everything in balance as best I can.

[spacedisaster]

[ Caduceus has the reasonable excuse that this sort of tech doesn't exist in this world, peter knows people who live in more modern worlds and don't even know how to make a phone call. But yeah, teaching the guy might be an exercise in patience. ]

It's a deal. [ If the Mighty Nein also have a member who happens to be on the furry side, then the resemblances will start to be uncanny. ]

We could be, life is already so unpredictable that there's no telling for sure. I had siblings all over the galaxy. [ Because Ego had no self restrain. It's a pity most if not all of said siblings are already dead. ] Not quite. She's a Zen-Whoberi. She's only a bit shorter than me but ten times strong and her species have two livers. You don't want to enter a drinking contest against her, trust me.

[ Nothing to forgive, it's a logical question to answer. Peter is a bit amused that Caduceus went for 'goblin' firs, though.

Caduceus has nice taste in clothes too, Peter is usually more partial to leather jackets and clothes that don't get in the way of his running and kicking if he has to enter combat.

Alas no, Peter was thinking much younger than that. Knowing that it was over 200 years old would make him feel better. How old is Caduceus? ]

Then I hope you manage to do that here as well. Hopefully without people freaking out when you ask about corpses.

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Yea, Caduceus and technology are not good bedfellows. His hands are too big for the delicate buttons and dials etcetera. No, Caduceus is better suited to magic and spells.

As for the point about having a small furry pal in the group, well, Nott wasn't exactly furry but she was a loudmouth who liked to tinker with alchemy and blow shit up if that counts for anything? ]

Zen-Whoberi. That sounds nice, I like that, Zen-Whoberi. Oh, I eh, I think some of my friends would still challenge her to a drinking contest anyway, they're a little reckless with their wellbeing at times. Good job we have two Cleric's in the group.

[ The firbolg didn't really see himself as fashionable in the slightest! but he would be flattered if he knew someone liked what he was wearing, most of the time it was something comfortable and flowy, though, unlike Peter, if a fight broke out, Caduceus would normally stand aside and fight from cover, using spells and projectiles.

Ah-ha! Well, in human years he was around 20? Early 20's possibly but in firbolg, he was pushing 90 something! Still pretty young considering his race could live for hundreds of years too. ]

Yea, I'd really like to make a little Graveyard somewhere but I don't think its exactly legal here?

[spacedisaster]

[ Ah, that's an added usability problem, maybe they can find a way to fix it. They could change the bracelet to display an holographic keyboard with bigger buttons. ]

It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Sounds more melodic than Terran. Is what the people around the galaxy call us, humans. She doesn't accept challenges easily but she is competitive, I'm sure they all would have fun. But you're right, it would be the sort of fun that might require medical assistance.

[ Peter will have to mention it one day if they meet in person. He's seen people wearing all sorts of colorful or weird clothes while traveling around the Galaxy but Caduceus' have a particular style to it that he enjoys.

Oh that's not so old for his species! Peter's almost twice his age. Don't tell him Caduceus or he will feel old. At the mention fo the graveyard, Peter makes 'Uh yeah no' face and chuckles a little. ]

No, I don't think so.

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Making it easier for Caduceus to use the bracelets would be amazing, honestly. He's missed calls and even sent gobbly-goop out in response to people before. So yea, every little helps. ]

It does. Very melodic. Oh, so a human isn't a human where you're from? It's what, a Terran? Wow, I'm learning so much, I hope I can remember all of this.

[ He chuckled at that, knowing that most of what Peter said, he was going to remember but some of it? Some of it would slip through the cracks in his memory.

The Mighty Nein would often get themselves into trouble like that, drinking competitions with aliens who were made to drink was right up their street! He'd have to tell the ones he lived with about Peter and his girlfriend! ]

That's a shame... I really would have loved to have a Graveyard here. Even if the Moonblessed just turn in to crystals for a while. It would have been nice looking after them.
