One Moon ℂ Video

[claimyourself]

[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

Different systems! I told you about the alchemists, right? There's another kind that's pretty much just elemental stuff and healing. And another guy who can see the future and talk to everything alive.

[claimyourself]

That's... interesting. I mean, it's just surprising, is all.

[errandry]

What, your world doesn't have magic either?

[claimyourself]

No, it does... I guess that's all right to admit here. But it's only one... it's hard to explain. We can do all sorts of things, but it's one form of magic. Not different like here.

[errandry]

Nah, I think I get it. Just one system, right?

[claimyourself]

Right. That sounds like a better word for it.

[errandry]

So you'll fit right in!

[ no, Kazu. that's really not at all comforting a thing to tell somebody who's just arrived and probably wants to go home at the same speed. in a slight hurry— ]

Huh—do I wanna know how much "all sorts of things" is?

[claimyourself]

[She can't help but smirk a little.]

Probably not. It's a lot to take in.

[errandry]

More than my mortal mind can handle, huh.

[ but he sounds like he's smiling. ]

[claimyourself]

Well I think it'd have to be done on a case-by-case basis. You already know magic exists, so you know more than my boyfriend did when I told him.

[errandry]

So give me a case—enough to fight in a zombie invasion?

[claimyourself]

Mmm, probably. I could set them on fire.

[errandry]

Good enough for me! What else's there here, anyway—oh yeah.

[errandry]

[ ... ]

... yeah, I've gotta ask you something else.

[claimyourself]

Okay?

[errandry]

You're not... [ um. words. ] You are a kid, right?

[claimyourself]

Uh, yeah, I guess. I'm seventeen. So most places that's still considered underage.

[errandry]

Got it! 'Cause the city passes out a stipend for everybody under eighteen. To cover rent and all that.

[claimyourself]

Well that's handy. There's no catch or anything?
