[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.

If some of us kept our own powers, we'd probably end up accidentally destroying this universe, de arimasu.

It's kind of slow here, de arimasu. [But anything is slow compared to his normal life of a giant sweet-potato alien one day, a G-infestation the next, then illegal vacuum enhancements the day after that.]

Is it really? Mirrors often are thought to have some sort of power in various cultures.

[Have a soft-spoken voice of undefined age although the particular rhythm of speaking that is being used hints towards someone who is ...rather 'old'.]

[He can turn it if he wants to, Hades sees no sense in things like politeness anyway.

He 'hmph's at the mention of little subtleties escaping Qilby. He knows how that is, in a wider scale.]


I am no thing that lies.

...and not really. Yet there are things that remain remarkably the same no matter what culture one deals with. ...Mirrors hold wonder since they are able to 'show one things'.

Having to learn new abilities can be inconvenient, but Shibusen provides a fair bit of assistance in that regard.

An..eliatrope?

That is a helpful attitude to have. The powers of this world do take time to learn, but I have found myself gaining more from them than I have lost.
timelessummoner: (hello)

In my world, I was capable of summoning creatures to assist me in battle. The ability has transferred here partially, in that I can summon my partner to my side at any time.

Do you all have silly hats where you come from?
hoarfrosted: (but i'll try to make you comfortable)

[personal profile] hoarfrosted 2012-02-21 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That's interesting! And does yours mean something? [or do you just like walking around looking like you have the lovechild of a frog and a bull on your head, russia doesn't even.]
hoarfrosted: (might give comfort to the enemy)

[personal profile] hoarfrosted 2012-02-21 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Millenia? [a laugh.] You don't look that old.

[Takuto doesn't usually pay attention to the communicator, but then he recognizes the guy whose soul he saw! Yay!]

What's a boowolf? [He pauses, frowning.] And what does it mean to be an Eliatrope?

[who knows.] Would you mind sharing your secret?
