video.

[ohhdeer]

[ asa usually avoids the video function on the network, if only because he's.. well, extremely shy. it doesn't seem quite polite to do so when addressing the network as a whole, though, especially in this case, when he's planning to offer something that includes a small demonstration.

dressed as modestly as always, his long red hair has been pinned up in a messy bun, small black antlers decorated with green ribbons and tiny silver charms that chime when he bows his head politely. he looks just about as nervous as he always does, though at least he manages a small, tentative smile. ]

Ah-- Hello. [ a slight fidget, a blush rising in his face, golden eyes sliding away from the video slightly. he always feels silly doing this. ]

It was.. suggested to me some time ago that.. that people might.. appreciate my skills, so I thought-- I mean, if it can be useful-- [ he clears his throat, then lifts his palms, cupping them and tilting them toward the camera to show that they're empty. a few moments later, a tiny vine twists out from between his fingers, growing in mere seconds and blooming with a big blue flower of some unknown type. he strokes the petals gently with his fingertips, lowering his hands and glancing up again. by now, he looks like he's seriously two seconds from bolting from the frame. ]

I-- I can do that with any.. any plants. Flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables-- I can.. maintain large gardens and.. adapt the plants to.. to new conditions. [ his shoulders hunch, ears flattening back, voice growing a little smaller, more hesitant. ] I don't.. know if it can be useful to.. to anyone, but if it can, please don't-- don't hesitate to ask.

[ he reaches out, then, and hastily ends the feed. ]

It's nice to meet you, Mister Hisoka. I'm Asa. Asa Ridley. [ he fidgets again, pushing a few strands of hair back from his face. ] Ah-- and I.. I don't know about admirable, but.. we were brought here for a reason, I suppose.

text btw, whoops

[hisokathemagician]

Yes.

To help the Initiative in their fight against the United Earth. ♥

Just Hisoka is fine.

alskjdf lmao np 8')

[ohhdeer]

Oh. A-Ah, Hisoka, then. [ a small, shy smile. ] And-- yes, I-- I suppose so. They seem quite earnest.

[hisokathemagician]

I would say that their earnestness is the most charming thing about them. ♦

[ohhdeer]

You don't really care for them? A lot of people don't, I suppose.

[hisokathemagician]

I do like them. That's why I said they were charming. ♠

How about you?

[ohhdeer]

Oh-- I'm sorry, I thought-- [ that he was being sarcastic. welp. ]

Um. I don't really know. I just-- I'm here, so.. I guess I should help.

[hisokathemagician]

No harm done. [It's okay bro it's like impossible to tell anyway :|b]

By the way, those are some unusual antlers you have there.

Where I come from, anyway. ♣

[ohhdeer]

[ he touches fingers self-consciously to one, blush returning. ]

I think they're.. unusual in most places.

[hisokathemagician]

Well, there are all kinds out there. ♥

By the way, can you heal people?

[ohhdeer]

--Ah. [ sometimes. unconsciously. ] N-Not.. reliably. Yet.

[hisokathemagician]

Too bad. I bet it'd be a useful skill to have around here. ♣

[ohhdeer]

[ a faint, sad little sigh. ]

It really would be, given all the fighting.. I'm afraid I'm next to useless, unfortunately.
