[good afternoon Death City. hope you aren't tired of new arrivals yet because here's another one.
it's hard to tell where exactly this particular old bespectacled man is recording from because most of the screen is taken up by the biggest hat in the cosmos. don't be intimidated, though! he seems friendly enough, though his attention constantly flickers from his unseen audience to a point just beyond them -- as if he's almost more interested in the communicator itself than who's behind it. the quiet muttering doesn't help.] A mirror, eh? Curious choice...
[right, he's supposed to be talking to people. whoops! he blinks, starts, and smiles apologetically, refocusing.] Ah-- greetings. My name is Qilby, and I am an Eliatrope.
[an awkward, expectant pause as if he's hoping that by some stretch the term should be familiar to someone out there. or maybe he's just hesitant to address his next point.] ...I don't suppose I'm the only one that finds it rather tragic that by bringing us here and giving us these new abilities, they've stripped us of our powers that arguably could have been more useful to help end this conflict. And now we must figure out how to harness an entirely new set of skills... Well. They say you can't teach an old boowolf new tricks, and I doubt I'm an exception. [and his smile at his own "joke" implies that he is a very old boowolf indeed.]
That aside, I'm more than willing to try and learn. Tell me, how have people's experiences been? I'm afraid I haven't had to fight a war in a long time.
[and at that, he looks very tired.] A very, very long time.

... You know, it may have at one point. But it's just been so long, several tens of millennia at the very least-- [he laughs.] --I've surely forgotten by now!
No, no, might as well just say it's a regular old hat now.

[le pause.]
Only kidding, of course. It helps to reincarnate forever.

How tiring.
no subject
joking aside, though--] It is, somewhat. But it means I've become very good at finding ways to occupy myself.
no subject
Small mercies, then. And what is your favourite pastime, as of late?
no subject
Right here, right now? Stories. [he beams.] I'd only recently returned after being... Away for quite some time. I've much history to catch up on. Especially now, now that everyone's got a story to tell.
no subject
Tell me, are you from Earth?
no subject
Though it's rather barren, I must say. This part of it is, anyway. [sand. sand, everywhere.]

You're right, I think I would; I enjoy just about all of those things. My own world was similarly diverse.

wow that was kind of a weird thing to say] Ah, well, that's not exactly how I'd phrase it, but you may be right. I do enjoy travelling very much, though, and in my case "forever" really is a very long time to stay in one place.

Here-- perhaps I'll pay a visit once this business is all wrapped up. [le smile.] With my powers, visiting all these places I've heard so much about is a small feat.
