Nine Moons ℂ Video

I really don't appreciate not being able to sit back today.

[She frowns at the camera, then lifts it, turning it this way and that until she's sure she's given everyone a view of the giant winding key in her back.]

This is the first time I've ever had a curse change my body. I think I prefer the ones where I don't realize I'm acting differently. This is just wrong. Even my cat's freaked out and he's... hiding...under...the...beeeeeeeed...

[Uh oh, she's started to wind down! Her head starts drooping, but then the key is heard being wound and her head lifts again.]

It's interesting that I can get Casts to work on this, but not on other curses. But it's that way with some of you and your magic, right? Anyway, if you have one of these things and you need a hand, I might be able to wind your key from here.

I think. Maybe. I'm still learning what I can do.

Something like that with magic, yeah.

I tried to use magic when I had a rain cloud over my head, but nothing worked. As long as I can affect curses in some way, I'm good.

[lupusalpha]

It's just a wind-up key.

I think being here, it's the most I can ask of my magic. Although I'd rather my abilities remain completely intact, if I'm being honest with you.

[claimyourself]

Thanks for that illuminating observation.

voice;

[claimyourself]

Me too! Though mine are sort of unpredictable and I'm still learning what I can do. Trying to work against the curses and getting nothing back is frustrating.

[lupusalpha]

It's a fact.

[claimyourself]

A fact I'm well aware of. But I figured some people didn't want their bodies to just shut down on them, so I'm offering my help.

[lupusalpha]

And how are you going to do that?

[claimyourself]

I'll try to wind the key with a Cast, with magic, but if I can't, I'll go over in person.

[lupusalpha]

Magic.

A lot of people around here have magic.

[claimyourself]

Yeah, I know. I wouldn't be talking about it so openly if there weren't.

[lupusalpha]

Right.

[claimyourself]

[Awkward pause.]

I'm Lena.

[lupusalpha]

....Derek.

[claimyourself]

It's nice to meet you.

[lupusalpha]

Same.

[claimyourself]

[She bobs her head, wondering why he's so quiet.]

Were you spared the key in the back today?

[lupusalpha]

No.

[claimyourself]

Oh. Well you know someone you can call if you need help with it.

[lupusalpha]

You don't know me.

[claimyourself]

I know that. If you'd rather find someone else, that's fine. Just thought I'd offer.

[lupusalpha]

You shouldn't offer things like that to strangers.

[claimyourself]

Why not? I'm not exactly helpless.

[lupusalpha]

Can you fight another magic user? A vampire? A werewolf?

[Vampires. Ffff.]
