[The screen is black for a long moment, though the speakers seem to be working, passing along the soothing and lovely sound of someone banging their finger against a spot too near the microphone. Finally, though, the camera blooms to life, and give those watching a great look at the massive brown eye being shoved right up against the camera. A young woman’s voice is again too close to the mic]

Honestly, whoever enchanted this thing is a master artist. I can’t even detect a hint of magic around it, and yet it seems to be working just fine. I’m not sure why they made it look like a flat brick and not a proper crystal ball or mirror is beyond me.

[She sighs, pulling back slightly to reveal a young woman with slightly pointed ears and exotic features who looks anywhere between 15 and 23]

Oh wait, right, that would require someone to become a powerful archmage without going so utterly mad that they start running around creating whatever pops into their heads. [She holds it back further and shakes her head.] At least it isn’t an owlbear.

So, am I to take it there are those out there who can hear me?

A double positive statement? Bold move.

I've never heard of that one, but even a avid consumer of literature as myself couldn't memorize all the obscure authors who made the monk's robes tent.

A grand adventure was a trip down the road to the local market, and the only other inhabitant within ten seasons of my own age was my best friend Imoen. Of course, I've been rather overcompensating for lost time of late.

[ the most prettiest peacock there is ]

I live for danger and threatened semantics.

So pretty much the Tolkien-esque version of Rumspringa, huh?

[andhishat]

I can see you are not one to back down at the promise of phonic punishment.

[Head tilt]

You continue to use words I am sure are common, yet that have no meaning.

[gorillawarfare]

Never. It really irritated the elementary school teachers.

[ smirk ]

I'm glad we're in agreement on Tolkien. I mean, blah blah blah greatest books about hills that ever were. I get it.

[andhishat]

I've only known you a few minutes, and even I could guess that was the reason.

[Sigh]

You are a very strange man, and I say that as someone who is friends with a man who talks to his hamster.

[gorillawarfare]

I'm taking that as a compliment as most women find hamsters adorable.

[andhishat]

You seem to take a lot of things as complements.
