[ Artemis appears to be reclining in his apartment, and when he addresses the communicator he sounds bored. ]

So. What's the deal with elves?

[bloodspeaker]

What the hell do you mean, what's the deal with elves? What's the deal with you?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I mean that I don't really know shit about you guys, and that gets a bit exhausting when everyone is going around assuming that I'm one of you.

[inafadingcrown]

Perhaps if you were more specific, you might receive an answer.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Oh. I just wanted to know more about elves in general, really.

( video )

[thalassian]

Excuse me?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

[ wow there's even more of you than he thought ]

You know. What's your deal?

[onemoredeath]

I wonder... Perhaps they enjoy something not yet spoilt?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

... What?

video;

[deadelfwalking]

Pardon?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Oh, uh. I just wanted to, you know, learn more about you guys.

[lordofthevalley]

That is a particularly broad statement, if you would be more specific I could aide you or show you to someone who could.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Well, there are a lot of things that I want to know, really. I don't know what makes them different from mortals, what makes them different from each other... Hell, at this point, I'm not even sure what makes them different from me.

( video )

[vampirique]

I wonder the same.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I'll let you copy my notes.

[Permavid]

[nonedible]

[She's not an elf, she's just a plant person with pointed ear leaf things. A sylvari.]

Even I've been mistaken for an elf.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I would believe it, at this point.

[prepared]

[ A tip of his head. ]

Are there truly so many of them?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Not as many as humans. But yeah, I haven't been able to keep track of them all.

[tipsygnostalgia]

They're cool magical people.

Usually really old and really pretty. We have a lot of them here or something?

[IF SO TIME TO.. START STALKING SOME ELVES..]

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Well, that does sound familiar. And yeah, seems like more and more are showing up.

[ In that case, you lucked out in the room mate lottery, Roxy. ]

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

And what is that supposed to mean?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I mean there are suddenly a bunch of them and they're not even the same as each other. And as far as I can tell, none of them even work for Santa.

[anaralah]

What of them?

[ She will cut you ]

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I'm curious about their nature. It does not seem to be consistent between those I've met.

[ s o b s ]

video

[fourscience]

A what? What are elves?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Well, it looks like most of them have ears like mine, but not all of them. And some of them are immortal? I'm not even sure. That's why I'm asking.

video;

[estelio]

[ This particular (sort-of) elf does not sound offended, merely curious. Perhaps a little confused. ]

What do you mean by that?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

I mean, uh. What makes elves different from humans? Where are they all from, anyway?

[whatsupcroc]

Can I nominate Jesse Pinkman as an honorary Keebler Elf?

[hostage]

Oh my god.

voice

[commentboxtroll]

They live in trees. They aren't very fond of people who aren't elves. They like to shoot arrows sometimes.

[Gotta be more specific here, dude.]

Wouldn't you know that already? You have the ears for it.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

My people don't call themselves elves. But the way you say it, I'm two for three, so we'll have to see about that.

[video]

[demonbloodblade]

The ones where I am from have multiple groups.

[She ticks them off on fingers.]

First (as they would tell you) are the sun elves, who tend to be snobbish and think they are better than all other creatures - and some of them, to prove it, have mated with demons to improve their bloodlines. I do not understand that either.

Then there are the moon elves, who are still stuck with something of a tendency to think themselves superior, but admit that there are things they aren't as good at as others, and know when to put the attitudes away and do the job.

There are the wood elves, who prefer their forests to dealing with other peoples, including other elves, and then the wild elves who make the wood elves look sociable.

The dark elves and the drow - they used to be the same, but something happened and now there are elves with dark skin, but not jet-black, who aren't as likely to murder and enslave as the drow.

[Changes hands.]

The drow worship a spider-demon goddess, consider slavery the only way to get people to assist them, engage in mass sacrifice as a religious persuasion, and then it gets unpleasant.

There's a few other kinds of elves around, but I know little about them.

In general, they're skilled with swords and bows, sharp-eyed, tend to be good at what they do - magic, fighting, sneaking - and will tell you about it in detail for hours until a fight breaks out.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

[ He stares at the camera for a moment, seeming to be still taking all of that information in. ]

Are there any of them around here, as far as you know?

[tyrians]

they apprawntly aint humans

permatext;

[sithiche]

Got that much, yeah.

[video]

[deathwalker]

[He stares at Artemis' ears for a moment.]
You mean you aren't one? You certainly seem to fit at least one of the requirements.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

It's not what my kind calls ourselves, but I admit that I'm starting to doubt the semantics here.

video;

[bloodyantivan]

[Oh hey there handsome. Zevran answers smoothly, raising an eyebrow.] ...We're very good looking. Is there more you need to know?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

[ He chuckles at that. ]

Well, I knew that much. I was looking for information that's not so... readily apparent.

video.

[pantyraid]

'They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak,' answered Sam slowly. 'It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected — so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were.'

[ yep ]

Other than what I've read in books and seen in movies, not much! I just know they're really tall and pretty and magical.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

[ He blinks at that, obviously not familiar with the reference. ]

I guess I never saw much of them in the media. Beyond those cookie-making elves and the ones who work for Santa, I mean.

[ video ]

[betterinthedark]

How do you mean? You'll have to be a bit more specific if you want an answer.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Are there normally this many of you?

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

I dunno, never met any before I came here.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Well, looks like you're in luck.

voice

[implying]

Oh, do let me know when you find out, won't you?

permavideo;

[sithiche]

You can come take a look at my notes, if you'd like.

voice

[goldfoot]

A species I am unfamiliar with.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

They have pointy ears, and I think most of them use magic of some sort. [ He shrugs. ] Kinda hard to describe when there are apparently a bunch of different types here.
