Video, UN: Kassandra

[metoikos]

[Kassandra had spent the better part of a day figuring out just how to use the Omni before doing this. She's not technologically inclined, but once she had certain things pinpointed it wasn't difficult to work out some of the basic functions. Including ill-advised videos introducing herself, though she clearly hasn't mastered the Art of the Selfie.

The video feed opens at an odd angle showing a tanned woman, thankfully right-side up, staring at it with furrowed brows. Deep in concentration for a moment more, she simply stares at the camera in silence until she seems to come to a conclusion. Nodding, the woman exhales, and finally speaks up.]

...Hello. If other people are able to hear me, please say something so I don't keep talking to a rock and wondering if it really is magic or if I am crazy.

[Her voice has a heavy Greek accent, and if her attire is any indication she is not of the modern era.]

If I am talking to a magic rock, then know that my name is Kassandra, and I am looking for my family and my crew. Men named Alexios, Nikolaos, Barnabas and Stentor...and women named Myrinne, Roxana, and Odessa. I have hope that I am not alone in being reborn in this strange land, yet I have seen no sign of them.

[There's a pause as she fiddles with the Omni one more time.]

Aletheia, if you can hear this, show yourself.

[And then the feed drops.]

Were your own gods pretty demanding about things you were supposed to do?

[metoikos]

Of course. Worship them or they curse you. That's how it goes.

[imaglyphwitch]

Oh right, the Greek gods. They had some pretty bad curses, from what I remember.

[metoikos]

Medusa and Arachne would certainly agree.

[imaglyphwitch]

The gorgon and the spider lady? Yeesh. I'll bet they would.

[metoikos]

So the gods here don't do that to the unfaithful, I hope.

[imaglyphwitch]

They're less of the vengeful type and more of the 'teaching the sleepers abstract lessons' kind of gods. I'm not sure how much better that is, but I can tell you that its better than the last situation we were in before.

[metoikos]

Then hopefully it stays that way.

Thank you for the information, Luz.

[imaglyphwitch]

You're welcome, glad to help!

Will I see you again, you think?

[metoikos]

I'm difficult to miss. So, probably.

[imaglyphwitch]

I'll say! You have an impressive cloak!
