video; un: Oracle
[The video flicks on and a girl in a blue denim jacket with pointed ears and round glasses struggles with positioning it right, even as the video is already playing. She takes a step back, sitting in a chair opposite the camera on a desk that's just full of papers.]
Um, hi. I think it's recording? Yeah, it's recording... Hello. [She clears her throat and adjusts her glasses. She speaks with a nervous somewhat nasally british accent that rings of 'very educated and also somewhat traumatized by it'.] So, I wanted to make something of an introduction, since I've heard that people show up a lot here. It's a bit overwhelming, the amount of information there is to learn about this place, but I'd like to get through it as quickly as possible.
My name is Adaine Abernant. Back home I was something called the Oracle, which is a title that was sort of just... dumped on me, but it does have meaning. Uh, basically it means I get prophetic visions, both of the future and events happening in the present. [Technically it's the 'Elven Oracle', but here's the thing. Fuck Fallinel and fuck the elven government.] On top of that, I was also a student at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy and a wizard of the Divination school, which works similarly to how Paleblood magic seems to work, at least from my initial observations.
So, uhm, the point of all of that is that if you have something you'd like to find out, a prophesy, or something to find, I might be able to help. I'm still figuring out how to work it now that it's all mixed with Trench's native blood magic. And as an adventurer, I'm also used to helping people out if they're in trouble or there's a largescale threat.
[She pauses and peers down at one of the papers, a list of some sort, and then continues.]
...On top of that, and the larger point of all this is, I'd like to learn as much about Trench's magic, metaphysics, cosmology and society as possible. I'm doing my own research, obviously, but if anyone wants to share their own notes or experiences, or even just point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

[His people, specifically, but like ... in general is good too. There's no money in Trench; he has a roof over his head and can trade manual labor for food, so he hasn't bothered getting a job. But maybe he should start looking for more valuable things to use in these rituals, if they'll help.]
only people from your world can do these rituals now?

[She's... reminded, briefly, of that other self. Old and haggard and grey, so utterly lost in loneliness. All the achievements in the world and she still never got what she want.]
I think only I can do the rituals for now, since it draws on magic practices from my world that I know...? I'm not sure how that kind of magic translates to Trench outside of the blood mechanics.

don't suppose it's worth a shot to try it anyway huh
