First Challenge - Video

[shorterinperson]

[ When the video turns on, a short haired woman appears on screen. She appears in her late twenties, possibly early thirties, and is focusing very intently on the screen. In fact, her eyes seem to be focused on something apart from the screen, in front or behind it. The truly unusual thing here is that the whole image is obscured by an odd purple

your hair caught his attention.

You're speaking to all of us. What was that haze?

I think we have to wait for our... I don't think we should call them 'criminals', but we're supposed to wait.

Eddie Russett, nice to meet you.

have a thing for redheads, eh~?

[shorterinperson]

And you. I'm Alanna. But I don't really have time to wait.

What should I call them, then?

he can only see red. so it sticks out like hell. :D

[needshumility]

Neither do I, but I think time stands still at home? So I'm told.

Inmates. Criminal implies they've broken rules. Some of them might not be Rulebreakers.

/pets it's okay to have an obsession

[shorterinperson]

But how sure are you of that?

Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to answer your question. That was my Gift.

XP

[needshumility]

Not as sure as I'd like to be.

Who gave it to you?

X9

[shorterinperson]

Wonderful. There'd better be something for me to do while I'm waiting to save my family.

The Gods, presumably. It runs in my family.

[needshumility]

There's always useful work of a form around, I'm sure.

Does it do anything, or is it just a haze?

[shorterinperson]

It's magic. Where I'm from, we call it the Gift.

[needshumility]

Oh. Magic.

[pause]

Right. What... do you do with it?

[shorterinperson]

Healing, mostly, among a few other things. Is it important?

[needshumility]

No, I've just never met anyone with magic before.

[shorterinperson]

Never? There aren't any mages where you come from?

[needshumility]

No, but there aren't a lot of things that are here where I'm from.

[shorterinperson]

Where are you from?

[needshumility]

Jade-Under-Lime.

[shorterinperson]

I've never heard of it, but I suppose that's to be expected.
