[ there is a sudden sparking that emits from your magical watches and a hologram appears, showing a petit woman with dark hair. her eyes seem to hold a certain amount of mischief and light, and when she speaks, you listen. it's something about her; you are captivated by her presence, and you can't help but give her your attention. ]
Hello, hello, hello~! ♥
[ it's a trill of a voice, light and airy. ]
I know you've all just arrived~♥ but I wanted to introduce myself! To those who haven't met me, my name is Astoria! I know many of you are likely unhappy with being found here, and I understand. But the need is urgent, and dire, and I am in desperate need of your help, as is the universe in which we reside. There is much darkness, in this universe . . . plenty of worlds on the brink of collapse, or at the precipice of something great. It is my job -- our job -- to help where needed. Like superheroes, but a little less flashy!
[ she pauses. ]
No offense to the superheroes. -- but anyway! I want to let you know were we're going to go first.
[ she takes in a D E E P breath!! ]
There is a city, by the name of El Minha. It's beautiful, an oasis in the desert. There are many shops and stalls and the entire city is bustling, but El Minha is facing a difficult path. Transitions of power are hard, you know? And they have a new King, who is . . . probably nice, but the people there are suffering. Crime is at an all-time high, and King Kathashun can only do so much . . . if he's doing anything at all.
[ she brushes a loose piece of hair behind her ear, and astoria smiles a little. it is obvious, by now, that she's definitely bubbly and full of spirit, but she is deadly serious about her mission. ]
I truly believe that we have the ability to help those who need it most, and those people are in desperate need. So we're going to go there, explore, and talk to them! And maybe, just maybe, we can affect some good in this world, and change the tide for the better for these poor people.
[ she pauses. ]
So that's where we're going first! But before that, I'm here to greet you, to support you, and welcome you to my beautiful Temple. Please, please, please make yourselves at home! I'll be here if you have any questions. ♥
[ astoria pauses before lifting up a single finger, as if she's forgotten something important. ]
Oh, and please let me know if you find anything interesting or important or otherwise peculiar in the Temple! The Forest of the Fey is a magical place, and I'm keeping a careful eye on all of you explorers to make sure you don't get too lost, but my dear friends within the forest may like playing with you all, so be respectful of the wildlife! It may fight back. ♥
[ is she serious? the world may never know. ]

[ Yes. He definitely needs help. ]
Maybe you could just, like, gimme...a hint?
no subject
You can go really, really, really fast.
[ no she's just going to give it away. ]
no subject
[ Well, good to know it wasn't just him, because he had pretty much convinced himself it was. This is actually pretty stellar, and, of course, he has to try it out immediately. ]
BRB, I gotta give this a whirl - literally!
[ And don't mind him just...jumping up, not disconnecting the video, and starting to zip around in circles. Hopefully this doesn't make him motion sick... ]
no subject
Good!! You're a natural!
[ delighted! ]
But be careful, you may have to get used to it, I wouldn't want you to run into anything!
no subject
...
...
Give him a moment... ]
...I'm okay!!!
no subject
-- are you sure?
no subject
Rubbing at a red mark on his forehead, he manages a lopsided grin. ]
Y-yeah, totally, a hundred percent!! Sorry, got a little carried away there...I promise I'll be more careful with the gift you gave me!
[ He's still ecstatic to have one at all. ]
no subject
[ with half a laugh. ]
Magic can be a tricky thing to get used to; I'm sure you won't be the only one who has a learning curve!
no subject
[ He's completely out of his depth here, and most people he's met seem to be handling their powers alright, but...maybe he's not the only one who's going to be a complete novice at this.
Okay. Deep breaths. He can do this. ]
Thanks, Astoria. I — uh...hope we can make a difference.
[ He hopes he can make a difference, and perhaps be a little bit stronger when they return to Eos at last. ]
no subject
[ she, at one point, had to learn how to master her powers; how she did that may be a mystery, though. she is extraordinarily old. ]
And I'm certain you can make a difference, even if it is a small one. Investigate in El Minha, and try to get a feel for what is going on. I'll do my best to assist you from here.
no subject
Wait, you're not coming with us?
no subject
[ with a slight tugging down of one corner of her mouth, in a slight frown. ]
I'm not sure why; I used to be able to, but the Temple won't allow me to leave.
no subject
[ What a strange way to put it. But it does prompt him to ask: ]
Astoria, are you...the only one running this show?
[ Everyone else he'd met in the temple seemed just as lost and confused as he was. ]
