[Video]

[Keith spent a long time debating whether to bother with video for this or just go with text. But the truth is, for what he's aiming for, it's better to do this virtual-face to virtual-face. Or something. He's even done bothering with the frankly ridiculous mask. For now.

The video opens to a fairly normal looking teenager (aside from the fact that what's visible of him is definitely dressed in a skin-tight vaguely glowy futuristic space suit), hesitating a moment like he's still debating on how to begin.]


So. Uh.

[Good start, Keith. Solid.]

I guess all of us are stuck in the same boat whether we want to be or not. And apparently that boat is headed for some other world before we know it.

I'll be honest. I don't know if we can trust this Astoria as far as we can throw her. [And he knows she can hear this, but he's said as much to her face, so there's that.] But for now I guess I plan on going along to see how things play out. [Which after discussing with Shiro, he feels pretty okay about, as plans go.]

But... just waltzing into other worlds, and potentially meddling in them... that could go bad really quickly if someone makes an enemy of the wrong person. If that happens, it might not be a terrible idea to know what we've got on our side.

Not just magic either. Because... that's really new to me at least. But we all bring some experience or skills or knowledge or something to the table, right? If we're gonna be any sort of team, we may as well know our strengths. And what we might be lacking.

[Maybe? Keith is now wondering if it was a bad idea to give him a way to talk to so many people at once. But he's committed now, no help for it. So he'll even go first.]

I'm Keith. Uh... I guess I'm pretty good with a sword. Pretty good in anything that flies. And I'm mostly used to being in space, lately. But it does't sound like that'll be helpful in this El Minha place. Also apparently I can fly now. So... there's that.

Anyone else feel like sharing?

[ - and the stream solidifies into a chunk of ice before shattering in the sink as more water flows after it. soma stands stock still, eyes wide with his hands still raised. ]

What. Did I do that?

[ he turns back to keith like he must have the answer. ]

I totally did that, right?

She did say to think about it boiling too.

[ he focuses again, and this time the water turns into a burst of steam. not quite what he'd planned, but it makes him laugh as he waves it out of his face. ]

Oh man. This is gonna take some getting used to.

[ but how fucking cool is this? unreal, seriously. ]

[ there's a certain amount of 'yeah okay dad' in the way soma smiles as he shuts the water off. you aren't even that much older than him, keith!! ]

There have to be a lot of us that aren't used to having powers like these. Maybe we should get together and practice with the ones that know what they're doing sometime.

[ then they can see everyone else's magic powers too! win/win! ]

[ if he's not careful keith will be the responsible one in the group. despair! ]

Yeah, you two seem to really know what you're talking about here. Are you another of those that have been through this kind of thing before?
