So.

[It's a wonderful way to start a video out, Cayde's quite aware of that; eloquence, thy name is Exo.]

Anyone feeling a little...strange recently? Perhaps a bit normal?

[He's weedling for answers and not being subtle about it, no apologies ever. Not when he can feel his Light racing through his veins in sharp pulses. The start and stop nature of it, and what Astoria had said previously about the temple itself, is equal parts comforting and horrifying. One moment he feels alive and the next nothing, back to nothing more than a dulled machine.]

I know our lovely lady in the sky supposedly gave us all magic, I don't know I've only seen it, but I mean. Anyone feeling a little bit more like themselves then they have in a while?

[This is way too much of a coincidence.]

Heyyy, magic-less buddies!

[Someone isn't bitter about not knowing if he's gotten a power or not, of course not.]

But you got a feeling, right? When you're all back to normal, back like you'd be at home?

[moneytwin]

[ Not bitter or jealous at all there. ]

I'd say yes. I feel more like myself, sometimes.

Still haven't been able to speak with Trinket, though.

[sendinthecavalry]

[Of course not, not at all.]

Wait, wait. Hold up. You talk to stuff? Like what kind of stuff? Jewelry? Little plastic animals? Paperweights?

[She did say 'trinkets' after all, right?]

[moneytwin]

Well, we're all talking to 'stuff' right now, aren't we? [such charming devices] My earring still doesn't work, though. Not that it would without one of its twins being nearby.

[a faint grin to her voice] Almost had it, though. Though what's plastic?

[sendinthecavalry]

Earring? I mean, if it's hanging from your ear, that counts as working, right? [What do earrings even have to do with anything?

That question though...]

You're funnin' me, right? 'What's plastic'.

[moneytwin]

Well yes, but-- [ah wait] It is--was--enchanted. Linked to several others that my companions wore. Useful when you're out hunting, or adventuring.

No? [is he mocking her? Her tone turns a touch cool] If I'm asking, then I'd like to know.

[sendinthecavalry]

Ohhhh [That makes so much more sense, why couldn't she have just said that in the first place?] alright, you got me there. Magic stuff, got it.

[But...is she for real on the question? Honestly, Cayde's stumped; it's so hard to try to explain something that he's always taken for common knowledge.]

Okay, okay, legitimate question. Gonna be honest, I've never had anyone ask that before, so I'm...not entirely sure how to answer. Uhhhhh. Metal, so it's like metal if metal wasn't as hard and also was kind of flexible? And different colored? And didn't conduct electricity? I'm really trying, I promise.
