video; un: whiterose [forward dated to June 29th]

[finethanks]

[Eichi decides to make his first post in riverview a video message. He looks pale and a little nervous about something, but he speaks confidently. Some people might recognize him— his face has been appearing more and more in posters and advertisements in the city for performances.]

At first I thought I was hallucinating or something along those lines, because "magic" is something that doesn't exist in my universe except as science made to look like tricks. However... it seems I've gained some sort of ability.

It may be strange to ask, but has this happened to anyone else? I'm nothing like a "hero" out of a story book or anything like that, but I certainly healed a wound. [He glances down, flipping over his own arm and frowning in his focus.] Just now, I also cut the back of my arm to test it, since it was making me doubt myself, and I was able to heal that, as well.

[He's really not the type of person who should be harming himself in any way. But despite his paleness, he's conscious! Just... definitely exhausted in appearance.]

To be honest, I feel a little faint, now, but it may be due to my elevated heart rate after all of this. I'll look forward to any answers or advice I can receive.

It sounds to me like magick of the Restorative discipline. If you'd like, I can attempt to discern the nature of your newfound ability. I must admit I am curious. I've never heard of anyone gaining such an ability who didn't already have the propensity for it.

[ But more importantly -- and don't think she hasn't noticed because it's dawned on her very quickly now that she's caught her figurative breath -- ]

A cut you inflicted on yourself and and none too great a favor by the looks of it! You don't look well, Eichi, and I could scarcely blame Gladio were you to wind up in that dreadful hospital place this time.

[finethanks]

[ He won't mention that gladio is the one who got hurt first... ]

Can you do something like that? I'm alright, and I'm sitting down indoors now, so there's not much else I can do. [ Except stopping with the hurting himself?? ] If you could come over and let me know what this is, I'd appreciate it.

[leadintheyoung]

[ YOU GUYS... ]

With my Hearing? Certainly! I've Listened to you often enough that any difference should be easier than difficult to discern. If it is magickal in nature, it should go without saying that I would be able to make that determination as well.

[ Magick is something she knows and she's quite proud of that fact. ] Where are you now?

[finethanks]

Fufu, would it be? How flattering. Then I'd be glad to have you come meet me. I'm in my room, if you can remember where that is. My roommate is out for the moment, so we have time to relax.

[leadintheyoung]

I do recall the way. Would you like me to pick anything up for you? Perhaps a snack of some kind? It may help should you still feel faint when I arrive.

[ She's already pushing herself up from the perch she had claimed, intent on making short work of the trip. Now, which way would be quickest? ]

[finethanks]

I have plenty of snacks here if I end up needing them, so you're fine to come straight here. I'd only have to wait longer if you were to take a detour, right?

[Come straight to him before he passes out, honestly.] I'm worried I wouldn't be able to answer the door if it took too long.

[leadintheyoung]

I will come straight over, then. See? I am already on my way!

[ And she is, having ascertained which route would be quickest and struck out. Hers are long strides and her feet are that much quicker as she breaks into a run. ]

Perhaps you should stay on the line? Though, it really won't be more than a moment.

[finethanks]

Fufu, I don't mind. There's really no reason to worry about me. This isn't the sort of health risk that my body can occasionally put me under. It's simply that I'm tired.

[He thinks. He's pretty sure. At least right now?]
