[ 01: March 16th, Morning | Video ]

[A pair of eyes are looking through the device, but quickly note that this object is recording.]

Ha! It functions! While similar to a scrying orb, it cannot divine that which was or what shall be. Oh, what a shame, but it will have to do.

[And the mirror is laid on a surface - propped atop a chair perhaps - revealing the rest of him. Glove-covered fingers adjust the gold-framed glasses rested atop his nose as his lips twitch into a grin.]

Well good morning, nonetheless. I am Lezard Valeth, one of your 'Weapons' in this aptly-named city. It is a pleasure to be thrust into another world filled with lowly beasts all-too-eager to feast upon the souls of man. You could say I've ample experience in dealing with such creatures... [And he enjoys a short fit of laughter with a further thought.] How amusing would it be were I inconvenienced with homesickness!?

[A devil-may-care shrug here.] Ah, but I digress. I seek a Meister with which to begin my participation in this campaign. My alternate form is that of a tome, but what function it serves must be further explored... Soul Resonance would undoubtedly be the key.

As for requirements, hm. [A hand to the chin.] To resonate with a woman may yield stronger results... though, I suppose I shall make exceptions for a better-fitting candidate.

And so my search begins. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. [He dipped into a theatrical bow, and the feed ends.]

Why would a woman give you better results with resonation?

[video]

[lezard_valeth]

The trigger for my weapon transformation was a woman, simply put. Perhaps the same goes for what this alternate body may hold.

[video]

[diedforyoursins]

Everything that I have heard suggests that resonation is based off the compatability of two souls. I do not see what gender would have to do with any of that.

[video]

[lezard_valeth]

Which is why I've stated that I will make an exception should a proper candidate come along. [Honestly, boy, were you listening?]

But my priority is set, in that I wish to dispel my prior theory first!

Re: [video]

[diedforyoursins]

You have strange priorities.

because comin off as a fuckin self obsessed douchebag desperate for a girl is totally the fuckin wway to go

[Pot, meet kettle.]

an wwhat fuckin good could a book do
thats not evven a real wweapon any fuckin wway you look at it

[audio]

[lezard_valeth]

[Half of those words made no sense. The absurdity of it all leaves him laughing when the audio feed starts up. Note to self, research the definition of 'douchebag'. ...And how to utilize text.]

So vulgar! Are many others here like you?

[audio]

[nauticalnightmare]

[Yeah, he's switching over to audio for this one. His accent is just as bad as the way he types.]

Ewen if there wwere, wwhat's it to you? An' you didn't answwer my fuckin' question. Wwhy the fuck wwould you be proud a somethin' as stupid as a book for a form? You just gawe yourself out as bein' completely fuckin' useless in battle, good luck findin' any meister stupid enough to go for somethin' like that.

Then again, the humans around here can be pretty fuckin' pathetic at times so you might get lucky.

[audio]

[lezard_valeth]

How presumptuous of you~

There is limitless potential to be had from a tome, you see! What lies within my pages will surely be something suitable for this campaign. The question is, what is it?

To find the answer sooner, rather than later, is best. I cannot sit idly by. No, there is far too much to do...

[audio]

[nauticalnightmare]

It's not presumptuous it's common fuckin' sense. I knoww a fuck lot about books an' they're pathetically easy to destroy or damage, I'we had to go through enough a them ower the swweeps.j

[spandexisyouth]

Why would it be the creatures that made you homesick?

[Video]

[lezard_valeth]

Simply put, the world from which I hail was also locked in a war against supernatural creatures. There is little else, I'm afraid.

Tell me. What do you know of Ragnarök?

[Video]

[spandexisyouth]

I have never heard of Ragnarok before. Is that a person? A place?

[Video]

[lezard_valeth]

It is everything. Ragnarok is dreadfully unavoidable for the most part; a disaster foretold of the death of many of my world's gods, followed by the death of humanity.

...If the awakened Valkyrie fails her task in gathering the souls of fallen warriors, of course. [He shrugged casually. Apocalypse? Meh.]

[Video]

[spandexisyouth]

So the war, the creatures, are part of this disaster, but a Val... Valkyrie? can stop it?

[conjecture_this]

This would appear to be 'good timing', in theory. I am a Meister without a partner to participate in this current mission with. I should like to theorize on our compatibility, if you are willing to attempt such processes with me.

[Here the teen pauses, stroking a curl as she adds.]

While I have experience with creatures who do consume energy, I cannot say I know of a great deal that consume souls themselves. I would conjecture that these creatures do exist in my own world however.

Video;

[lezard_valeth]

Quite willing. I've spent enough of my morning on this contraption and wish to undergo a field test. What better way than to see these 'Kishin Eggs' with my own eyes?

Though, perhaps we ought seize this 'good timing' and see to a field test sooner rather than later...

Video;

[conjecture_this]

[There's a brief moment of hesitation as Nagi considers this. There are several factors about this idea that trouble her, however...]

Tested in the battlefield, you mean.

[...]

I agree to participate in this process then. I am Nagi.

Video;

[lezard_valeth]

Indeed. There are emitters of madness that require our attention, and I feel I cannot simply shift back and forth between forms for entertainment. It does grow tiresome after awhile...

[And a tip of his head.]

'Tis a pleasure, Lady Nagi, to meet you. I shall seek you once we've begun the operation.

Video;

[conjecture_this]

[It seems like she wants to start babbling more in-depth about those 'changing forms'. She can't do such herself and she's never had a partner so the idea fascinates her and--

Wait Nagi, focus. You can ask questions later.]

I shall look forward to our meeting then. I have hope that the process of Resonance might be one within the bounds of believability.

[radiantwingedone]

.. A pity. Fit neither, although curious. [ He only knows a very few people who would refer to anything as a 'tome', and they tend to have a specific job description. ]

Permavoice. Text is a foreign beast.

[lezard_valeth]

I accept curiosity. ...But to what drives yours?

Texting until otherwise, he doesn't like talking.

[radiantwingedone]

To what? Trouble, has been claimed. Drives currently? Word usage. 'Tome' is not commonly used, in experience.

[lezard_valeth]

Perhaps not in the various worlds from which this melting pot chooses, but it is quite common for me.

My weapon form strongly reminds me of the countless tomes I would keep in my study, detailing the beasts that roam the lands, the deities in the heavens, and more than a few bits and pieces of old, presumably-dead magic long forgotten.

[radiantwingedone]

Unfamiliar with the thought of dead magic, although connection is there. Those who commonly used such a word - tomes - are usually mages. If your ability was to allow magic, it would have been interesting to see how similar it was.
