001 ⚫ video

 [The transmission begins with a very close up eye. It’s pulled back very quickly and there’s an odd-looking man positively beaming at the screen.]
 
Oh hello! I’ve just realized this is transmitting. I’m Atley. Atley Yorke.
 
[He waves at the camera like an overly excited child.]
 
I’ve just been brought...here. Wherever that happens to be. I’m told it’s someplace called Exsillium, which is an awfully exciting name. I hope there’s more of...well more people, really. I hope there’s more people out there. 
 
It’d be awkward if I was just talking to myself, wouldn’t it?
 
[He’s moving constantly, never sitting still. He waves his hands as he talks, bobs his head and makes faces. It’s dizzing as the device is held in one of his hands as he gesticulates.]
 
So. Um. If you are out there and if you know what’s going on...contact me?
 
[Transmission ends with a smile.]

Them. I'm a half-elf. Very different if you ask, well, most is not fair, but a good number of important elves. Most are good folk, but some of their leaders can be, selective about who they consider a proper elf.

[She grins, glad he got the joke]

Well now, you haven't gotten to know me. I have a way of getting under certain types skin. There are, however, many kind and good half-elves, humans, and even elves who deserve better treatment than they get.

[She shrugs, still smiling]

Just got here myself. Nearly leveled the building I arrived in out of shock.

I find there is logic in your words.

[She grins back, amused at his antics]

Ah [Suddenly her expression becomes a little sadder, though she maintains her smile. She's used to people being scared of her.]

Word of advice, it isn't wise to startle a mage unless you know what you are doing. [Her eyes glow red for a moment, before shifting back to normal, which isn't actually a spell, just her infravision, but it has the same effect]

Keep people guessing eh? I approve.

[Her eyes return to normal, and she manages to look bemused.]

That is generally what a mage does.

[Her voice goes dramatic and booming, or as close as she can manage]

We are workers of the weave, manipulators of the mystic arts, crafters of the arcane.

[Suddenly it drops back to normal]

In short, we cast magic spells.

I am fascinating to get to know. Just be sure I've been well fed and rested before approaching, and I'll be happy to answer what questions you have.
andhishat: (Say wah?)

Gummy bears?

[She's picturing some sort of cross between a gelatinous cube and a bear, rather nightmare fuel material, before he holds up the bag and sets her fears somewhat to rest. No telling what might come out of it, but it can't be too dangerous if he shows it off so readily]

Ah, no, I can safely say I've never heard of anything by that name. [Smiles at his description] I own a few items like that back home, though they create weapons rather than bears. Is it magic? Are these bears edible?

[Curiosity wins out over caution] Food certainly has a way of loosening my lips. I think I might be able to answer a few questions.

Not an issue at all, I backtag all the time.

[She watches him eat them with fascination. Well, that puts some of her concerns to rest.]

Ah, I see. We have sugary treats on Toril too, though none are so artfully crafted. Were my friend Imoen here, she would be bouncing off the walls to discover new ways of introducing sugar to her bloodstream. [She cocks her head to one side]

It only started once you arrived? I wonder if it is magic, or some new type of machinery.

[She nods]

Very well. If you wish, we could meet at the place they have given me to stay.
