Video UN: Whatever

[scotch_egg]

[Alec is sitting in his room at the inn, trying to ignore the spectral whippet gnawing on a squeaky bone behind him. He doesn't know where she got it and he isn't inclined to ask]

Right. [he rubs his eyes with a hand and then stares at the camera]

Let's get this shit show organized. The sooner we get everything done, the sooner we can leave so it's time to figure out who can do what. Who are you and what can you do? What are your strengths and weaknesses? We should have some sort of formal training so that like can work with like and eventually figure out how to work together as a cohesive unit in case something big comes along.

[he doesn't want to even think of what that might be]

Also are there any legitimate doctors around? And I don't mean someone who can do 'healing' [he waves his hands] whatever the fuck that means, but someone with medical training. If you have that... let's talk.

[he has a small problem that if he doesn't get it fixed will soon turn into a very large problem so he's doing what he can]

i dont have any skills really
i just am an office worker with no real outstanding traits
I can at least ask Sensei about whatever you need help with
if you want to like
tell me

[scotch_egg]

You have magic, don't you?

[he hoped so. As mad as it all was, sending someone here without would just be cruel. As for what he needs...]

It's a personal matter.

[capitalismkills]

ah im so sorry for asking that was my fault for prying

[Also whoops, he'd completely forgotten he had magic.]
i guess i do
tho all i can do is curse people
and i have bad luck so ive only really accidentally used it on myself
what i wouldnt give to curse that fucking combover of a boss


uh ignore that last part

[scotch_egg]

[being a boss himself, he's not going to comment on that last part-- though he's sure he's had several lobbed his way]

A curse can be effective when used against the right person in a right way. You do mean this in a literal sense, I'm assuming.

[capitalismkills]

[Well, as long as he didn't literally abuse his employees, he was already miles better than Doppo's boss.]

i um yeah
i mean i cursed the ground under my feet to turn into ice on accident
im too scared to try anything more serious
what if i hurt someone

[scotch_egg]

So what do you plan to do then in this place?
[tone is hard through texts but in this case he's genuinely curious]

[capitalismkills]

[If he was in person, Doppo would be curling into himself as much as he could.]
i um
i dont know
Sensei-the doctor I spoke to you about earlier-is offering to let me help out at his clinic he's opening up
i need to make sure hifumi doesnt do anything stupid
he'll probably drag me on quests even if i'm useless
what about you

[scotch_egg]

As much as I can to get this over with as soon as possible.

As for being useless, you'll learn.

[capitalismkills]

that's what they all say
i have a feeling this isn't going to end soon whether we want it to or not

[scotch_egg]

Same here.[a sigh that can't be heard, but he feels is shared] We're going to be here a long time.
