[OPENING] mass visual telepathy log

[spellheal]

[Genette has provided everyone a portion of mirror, which they're free to do whatever they want to with it BUT the idea is that they introduce themselves to the telepathy network with a video feed, showcasing their face. Otherwise, the coven might just get an endless stream of grass, sand or hut wall.

If you're willing to commit to the exercise, here is your intro log for doing so! Hold up the mirror piece, introduce yourself and receive a broadcast from your fellow mages.

Because this is an open post, tag around like you would a typical log community post!]

( Good, do so. Take notes. I have paper if you require it. )

[ Wowowowow someone is a bossy bitch. ]

[lalliho]

[Eh, at least he doesn't seem too phased... Many of his more, erm, enthusiastic authority figures have been female, so no bruised ego about that.]

No. I'll remember.

[mmmm...]

[andsobelow]

( Do so, in detail. )

[ Vaguely threatening. Half-assed work doesn't interest you. ]

( Tell me about your training. )

[ A request without bothering to phrase it like a question..... ]

[lalliho]

[There's the distinct feeling of a growl, though he manages to hold back the sound of it. Commands were good, but detailed reports were...trouble. If he did his job well, what did it matter how much he wrote?]

...I've been a military night scout based in Keuruu, Finland for years, but I've been in training since I was a child. My grandma was a scout. I'm really good at it.

[Which doesn't explain a lot, but it speaks to his experience and he has no reason to believe any of that would be a foreign concept to someone.]

[ It's a good enough answer for her. Family trades were ones honed to perfection, even if she herself had shaken off the yolk of father's trading business. Then again, her brothers could inherit that at their leisure. She would do as she pleased. ]

( What threatens you in Keuruu? )

[lalliho]

[A pause.]

There's still a high infection risk in Finland. Keuruu is better. Because people like me do our jobs. But there are still trolls in the area.

[andsobelow]

( What infection, dolt. )

[lalliho]

The Illness. Stupid.

[SHE MAY OUTRANK HIM, JUDGING BY THE WAY SHE TALKS, BUT SCREW IT!!! She's being rude and isn't part of the Finnish military so whatever, she's not the boss of him.]

[andsobelow]

[ Maybe she's born with it, maybe she's just a bitch............. ]

( Which illness, there is more than one in the universe. I could name you 30 different ones alone that only spiders catch, let alone the human varieties. )

[lalliho]

It's just the Illness.

[And there might be a soft undercurrent of spiders can't get sick, that's stupid.]

[andsobelow]

( Fine, what are its symptoms? )

[lalliho]

[We're sorry. The number you have reached is no longer in service. Please hang up and try again, or call your provider if you feel this message was received in error.

Nah, he'll get back to her eventually, he just needed to take some time to himself.]

Rash. Coughing. Changes. Contamination of body and spirit.

[andsobelow]

( If it touches the spirit it is more than mere illness. My people fled such a thing. Magic turned twisted, which twists in kind all it taints. )

[lalliho]

...Good for your people.

[He is so simultaneously bitter and genuine there...]

[andsobelow]

[ She's laughing cruelly. ]

( A pity for yours. )

[ It's Carla. What else would she say. ]

[lalliho]

Go fall off the island's edge.

[It's a harsh hiss, and then the connection breaks. Not picking up if she bothers to try talking to him, either.]
