[ 01 | TEXT ]

[shortcaptain]

[ Holly's first network broadcast is a simple text post for two reasons:

The first is that she's still not too happy about the prospect of exposing her face (and potentially her species) to a city that's populated by mostly humans.

The second is that some things are just easier to ask for this way. Things such as 'assistance from strangers'. ]

Two questions.

1) Any tech-heads out there with experience in mechanical wing design/repairs? Think one of mine's broken. I'll give you more info if you consider yourself up to the task.

2) Magic. I'm looking for anyone with magic that's replenished by nature. I'll need some help with that too, seeing how the environment here's been completely destroyed. [ Human greed is as limitless as ever, she types out, then deletes, because she's trying to get help, not start a fight. ]

So, I don't have anything to offer in return. At least not upfront. But if you have anything that I'm after, let me know. We can figure something out.

I don't know about replenishing, exactly, but a few of us have nature-based abilities. What exactly are you after?

[ She switches to voice herself so that they'll match, and privates the feed because revealing the secrets of the Book to strangers is still something that sets her on edge, even so far from The People. ]

Ideally? An acorn plucked at full moon. I'd need to bury it to be running hot again. Failing that, someone who could give me a few sparks of their magic to bolster my own. But they'd have to be pretty powerful.

Ah, I won't be much help, then. I can make soil more arable, but that probably doesn't fit your timetable very well.

voice; private

[shortcaptain]

Unfortunately not. That is, I can make do, but the remaining trees here are dying. I can feel it.

voice; private

[crystalia]

It's the whole world, really. They're holding on and trying to survive, but while they do everything beneath them is falling apart.

[ There's a soft thump noise -- the sound, perhaps, of a little fist hitting a table. ]

How could the humans do this to the planet?

voice; private

[crystalia]

They're hardly the only species capable of it.

Replenished by nature, or replenishes nature?

[ She doesn't want to respond to a vid feed with text, but she's still not comfortable with showing her face. Who knows who's watching? So voice it is! ]

Replenished by. If it was the latter, I think I'd have less of a problem.

[lovesgod]

I might be able to help.

((ooc: I left you a question in your permissions post relevant to this.))

[shortcaptain]

Yeah? How so?

((ooc: yep, I just got around to responding to it. Thanks heaps! ♥ ))

[lovesgod]

Purifying nature, at least in the small scale, is well within my power.

[shortcaptain]

Enough to heal a tree?

[lovesgod]

Sure, but there's no way a purified tree is going to last long with this nuclear dirt.

Let me get a look at those wings, I'll see what I can do.

[Ok, so wings were new, but maybe he could fix them somehow!]

Name's Eddie Riggs, by the way.

Holly Short.

You've experience with this kind of thing, I take it?

[audio]

[asskickersunite]

I've spent over twenty years on the road fixing shit for people. Vehicles, weapons, instruments... You name it. I'm sure I can fix this baby up just fine.

[audio]

[shortcaptain]

[ There's a trace of amusement in her voice. ]

Well, 'this baby' just happens to be built into my jumpsuit. So you better treat it with care.

[audio]

[asskickersunite]

Don't you worry Holly, when I'm done with it, that thing will run even better than before.

[audio]

[shortcaptain]

That's Captain Short to you. [ If the feed had been on, there would even have been a bit of a wink. Then again, it's her fault for not introducing herself by her title. It had felt strange to cling onto it with no LEP around. ]

So, should I come over so you can see what you're dealing with?

[breakin_ur_lore]

Ma'am - I have nature magic. [HI WE TALKED BEFORE]

voice

[shortcaptain]

Yeah? Tell me more. [ AT LEAST THERE ARE 75% LESS MUTATED ANIMALS THIS TIME... STILL TOO MANY THOUGH ]

voice

[breakin_ur_lore]

Well....I'm a shaman. I can speak to the elements, and I have healing powers. [DOES THAT HELP MAYBE PLEASE he wants to be useful!!]

voice

[shortcaptain]

[ It helps a bit! ]

I can heal, too. Does your magic need to be replenished in some way?

voice

[breakin_ur_lore]

Just if I get tired. I mean, I couldn't do it forever, but I don't need any reagents. Although most shaman have totems, and I've never been taught how to make those.
