video

[ the video starts with a little black nose attached to a blue-furred face snuffling at the camera. ]

Carbuncle, no. I want you to hold it, like this -

[ there's some shuffling that goes around before the camera is rotated, and there's the sound of teeth closing on plastic. then the camera is turned to show noctis lucis caelum, from the waist up. he's a young man of twenty, with dark hair; he's wearing a black shirt with a skull pattern, with black pants and a black jacket. (there's a theme here in his clothes). ]

...Hey. I'm Noctis.

[ he waves the hand that has a glove on it, painfully awkward, but continues on. ]

I dunno how the rest of you feel about coming here, but I'm not too excited about it. It seems pretty clear if you wanna make it back home, though, we have to help save this place. The way to do that is learning how to use whatever magic you were given.

So, for those of us whose magic is more practical - like mine, which is Light - I'm gonna be hanging near Brocéliande Forest, to train. Not in it, I'd rather not get stuck in another time loop, but it's got some pretty open space between the city and it.

[ he steps back so that the camera can see the spot he's indicating. ]

... I'm also not like, the master of combat or whatever, but I can help with weapons training if you don't have any. So, yeah. Just... hit me up or show up here, whatever works.

[There's no particular reason that Edgeworth is opting for audio-only instead of video, outside of just plain familiarity; it's more natural to walk around with a phone to his ear than to go for a selfie-style video. Particularly considering his other hand is preoccupied with holding his dog's leash at the moment.]

I'm curious to know how you're defining "practical" magic. That implies the existence of the impractical sort, doesn't it?

[There are some rustling sounds in the background, a touch of wind over the microphone, the jingling of a collar. He's outside somewhere, evidently.]

Is that what you intend to use yours for? As a weapon?

[Dust is using audio for many reasons, the chief of which is that it's slightly easier than video, and every little thing counts when you're so far out of your depth with these gizmos the way he is.]

I can help you out. With sword training.

I'd be interest in weapons training. I have zero practical experience.

[ you know, with things that aren't choreographed or just straight up guns ]

[Jack has no idea if talking to animals counts as "practical" (it doesn't seem like the kind of thing you really practice, and he's unaware it comes with potential shapeshifting abilities just yet), but between wanting to size up the other people who've been roped into whatever this thing is, and wanting to get an idea of what abilities other people have, he at least wanders over there to investigate. He's dressed in the finest local clothes he was able to barter his suit from home for, all in black and purple with the tiniest hint of orange thread in the pocket lining, and carries himself confidently, like he's used to being looked at and also used to command. He pointedly ignores the purple butterfly clinging to his slicked-back hair and batting its wings lazily.]

Is this where you're practicing?

[ At TOP SPEED, with an urgency that implies actual lives may be on the line if she doesn't get an answer to this post haste: ]

Hi, sorry, I know the weapon and magic stuff is super important and everything and we've gotta work on it but can I come pet your dog?! I'm Stella.

Hi Noctis, hi Carbuncle. I'm Akira.

[ Whether it's unnecessary or not, he can't help himself and waves back. ]

Magic training sounds great. I've got a bit rusty with weapons, though. The sooner we figure out what we can actually do, the better. I wish there were some tutorials on how to use this world's magic.

[ Be the change you want to see, Akira. ]

Mmm? Magic? ... Don't tell me I missed something?

[Then again there was a lot of information to take in so she can't say she's shocked.]

Like this?

Yup! You're on!

[Hope's face appears, with Daisy resting on his head, helping him set up the video. Once it's on, Hope's attention focused on Noctis.]

Uh, hi. I'm Hope and this is Daisy. I'm not sure how to practice healing magic without needing someone to heal and I don't really want people to be hurt. But I'd like to take you up in the weapons training? I have my boomerang, but learning something for close quarters might be beneficial for me, just in case.

If you don't mind.

[ Luna appears, smiling fondly. She's relieved to see that Noctis is making the best of this situation, but also...the carbuncle really is quite adorable too. ]

Good luck with your training, Noctis. Please do let me know if you need any healing, as I would like to practice more with my own magic as well.

[ Don't mind her, she's staring in wonder. ]

Gods be good, that's an adorable carbuncle! Never seen one looking exactly like that-

[ Her ears lift and wiggle excitedly. ]

Hold, did you say your name was Noctis? You're not from Eos, are you?

[He will see Cor standing next to a table, where some book lays open on it. There's a swish of a couerl tail on the other side of said table, but the older man's completely focused on the phone in his hand.]

I feel like I should protest over your taking over one of my normal duties - at least, when it comes to martial training.

[What's this, a slight teasing tone to his words? Heaven forbid...]
