video; un: constance von nuvelle

[noatic]

I have a question for you all.

[Good morning/afternoon/etc Lunatia! If you're tuning into the network this fine day, you'll be greeted by the (gorgeous and perfectly made-up, of course) visage of one Constance von Nuvelle, seated neatly in front of the camera and framed by purple roses. She's clearly gone to some effort to make her message attractive (not that much effort needs to be expended in that regard, but you know!), and her tone is tinged with...well, the usual haughtiness. Listen well!]

What's a skill you've learned here in Lunatia that you wouldn't have had access to, back home? I'm always seeking to better myself - as arduous as it is to try and improve upon perfection! - so I'm open to suggestions. I'm already innately talented in magic, battle and horse-riding, so please don't bother proposing that I join the Moon Knights. Other than that, however, I find myself enthused by the thought of hearing what you've managed to achieve!

[Once that's done, she'll reach out and gently run her finger along the petals of one of those flowers.]

I'm also quite interested in speaking with someone who has a good deal of experience in rearing roses. Do get in touch if you fit the bill, won't you?

[And with that, she'll depart!]

Comments

[She does have a rather good 'ohoho', if she does say so herself!]

That is specific! But exactly the kind of insider information I'm interested in. I thank you.

[She'll even make a note in a book off-screen. Manure from herbivores only...as she focuses on her writing, Constance continues to speak into the mic.]

I must say, you're very knowledgeable. Have you worked as a gardener yourself, then?

[herbmixing]

Oh, no, I'm a chemist. I just use a lot of herbs in the medicine I make, so I sort of picked up the basics.

[ She shrugs. ]

I guess I've got that sort of brain that remembers a lot of details.

[noatic]

It's a handy thing to have.

[Right, notes are finished, so she'll turn her attention back to the camera properly.]

A chemist, you said? I'm vaguely familiar with the term. You seem quite young, for one so accomplished.

[herbmixing]

Oh, thank you!

[ She smiles. Slowly but surely, she's getting better at taking compliments. ]

It's mostly used for mixing medicine and curatives, in the lab and in the field. Hopefully it can help some people out, considering how often we get into trouble here.

[Somewhere, in the distance, a weird French man is pumping his fist in victory! Look at you accepting that compliment and not playing it down, Rebecca! You did it!!]

Interesting. I must admit, healing magic is not my main strength, but it certainly has its uses.

[Mixing medicines is a kind of magic, is it not? Hmm. Anyway...this girl is cute, nice and clever. A potential friend, maybe??]

Do you have a name, then? I'm Constance von Nuvelle. Do try not to forget it!

[herbmixing]

[ Character development, we did it!! ]

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Rebecca - Rebecca Chambers. [ And she laughs, softly, under her breath. ] I think I'll be able to remember it.

So you're from a world where you can heal via magic, I'm assuming?
