VIDEO - UN: REDMAGE
[ there is a fair amount of.. fiddling and movement as alisaie sets her omni down upon a wooden surface - possibly a table? - and adjusts it to face toward her with a squint. a small young elezen woman sits across from you! ]
I've no idea if this is even working..
[ she's frowning into the feed, but finally she seats herself on a rickety bench. wherever she is, she's outdoors somewhere, the grey sky overhead, the chill wind tossing her hair. she opens her mouth to speak, closes it again, opens it again.. and sighs. ]
My apologies. Mayhaps I should have written a script. I'm not particularly good at.. this.
[ this being addressing a bunch of people via a video network, apparently. she's gotten much better at speaking with people over the years, but broadcasting yourself is something else entirely!! alisaie fidgets nervously, but finally seems to find her words, because she's making a fool of herself in front of all of trench, gods. she clears her throat. ]
My name is Alisaie Leveilleur, I've arrived only recently, so I thought it only right to introduce myself. I've yet to figure out exactly what to do with myself, so I am happy to offer my hands, should anyone have need of them. I am far stronger than I look, so I could help with any building or repairs, or cleaning, or if you've a mind to learn the art of the red mage, I am happy to teach insomuch as I am able.
[ she has no idea what people's magickal capabilities are like here.. ]
It is elemental magick, so if you have the capability and would like to learn more, I am happy to help.
[ a beat. she fidgets awkwardly again. ]
Well, that is - oh! If anyone happens to know of anyone who lived on a world called Hydaelyn, please let me know. Most especially if that person happens to look very much like me.
I suppose that's all. Thank you for your time.

anyway, she listens for a moment, before drawing her journal from her leather bag, quickly scribbling down the names and descriptions. one name she might have remembered without help, but three, definitely not. ]
Absolutely. I'm afraid I haven't bumped into anyone matching those names or descriptions, but if I do, you shall be the first to know.
no subject
Hey, thanks! Much appreciated. Oh - that reminds me, I still owe you for your help the other day, got any favors you wanna call in yet? Because I am totally gonna remind you at every opportunity until you do!
[ It helps him feel less guilty, anyway. ]
no subject
[ for helping him on the beach? is he still going on about that?? alisaie sighs. ]
I've told you, I was only paying it forward - I had help as well, when I arrived. Besides, I don't have anything in particular that I need help with..
[ well. that's not entirely true.. ]
no subject
Awww, are you sure? Well, if anything comes up, you know where to find me! -- Or, call me, anyway. Nooot even sure I could tell you where I live just yet. Still getting used to the city...
[ And I still need to read the locations page. :V ]
no subject
Yes, it's quite large, I'm still learning my way around myself. From what I know, however, any empty home is apparently free game, and it is safer to live within the city than without.
[ .. like she does. ]
no subject
[ At least the city itself seems to be pretty big, and Prompto isn't quite as nomadic as someone like Gladio. He'll hopefully be able to settle in soon enough without too much trouble. He's pretty adaptive, at least. ]
Did you find a place to stay, then?
no subject
[ not that alisaie would have minded foraging for her own home, but better to stay with allies when possible. it helps keep her happy, and sane, as well as offering protection for them all. ]
It's.. well, it's a bit of a mess, but come springtime it should be easier to repair and make into something workable. I take it you are still at the inn, then?
no subject
[ Which given that that still hasn't happened, sounds kind of pathetic. ]
B-but it's pretty nice here! Cozy, food's good, can't complain, really! I'll head out soon, though.
no subject
[ why move into a dangerous home alone when you could have comrades or family with you, after all? it makes sense. still, she has no idea how long the inn's warm welcome will last. ]
So long as you are safe is what matters. Whenever you do find a place, I'd be happy to help you patch it up.
no subject
[ He's still waiting for her to call in a favor! Though he really could use the help, and depending on the condition of wherever he finds, he may need to accept based on necessity. ]
But, uh - I'd appreciate that. Whenever the time comes.
no subject
Well.. if you'd really like something to do, our home certainly needs quite a bit of work, as well. It's spacious, but, how should I say it.. holey.
no subject
[ Or...anything else, really. ]
Consider me on call! How hard can a little handyman work be?
no subject
Good, because I don't know a shingle thing about carpentry.
[ BADUM-TSH ]
Though I suppose it is high time I learned, now.
no subject
Great! So, uh, where should I meet you? And when? ...Guess I sorta assumed you meant now, but if you mean later - that's fine, too!
[ He kind of jumped the gun there. ]
no subject
No, no, not right now. I'll need time to gather materials and learn how to, you know.. patch a roof. Come springtime I will call in that favor.
no subject
[ He's going to keep insisting! Sorry, Alisaie. ]
no subject
Nothing I can think of, no, so enough fussing! How have you been settling in, anyroad?
no subject
Oh! Y'know...well as I can be! The whole...blood magic thing is kiiind of a lot to get used to, but at least I'm used to people turning into monsters being a thing! ...Which sounds kinda terrible when I say it out loud.
[ And it's not as though he's okay with it, but it seems more like a fact of life here, rather than something that could be cured or stopped, like the Starscourge. This place is just a lot to take in and he can only handle so much at a time. ]
no subject
Ah.. well, admittedly, I had seen it myself as well, before coming to this place.
[ amh araeng was full of it, she watched plenty of people and animals turn before her eyes for a year's time. it was not pretty. ]
But I understand, this place is.. harsh, to say the least.
no subject
...Yeah, you can say that again.
[ He doesn't let the somberness linger long, however. ]
But that just means it's all the more important we make good memories, right? All the more to balance out the bad stuff.
no subject
Well, I suppose you aren't wrong. That is a good way to look at it.
no subject
[ A pause. ]
Well, when they got hairy back on Eos.
no subject
[ and it's clear in her expression that she is being honest. ]
Nothing is more difficult than keeping a positive attitude when things get difficult. Most people aren't capable of that.
no subject
Well then, just call me Mr. Positivity Man, 'cause my superpower is smilin'! Which isn't as cool as, you know, flying or laser eyes, but I do what I can.
no subject
[ even if flying and laser eyes sound pretty badass.. ]
And I shall be counting on you to keep that smile.
