[He has had time to collect himself; to not give into fear immediately - though that had been a challenge! His appearance is likely startling - unless his shay'kreth'ashke is well known. From his white hair to his icy blue eyes, Moondance will be easily recognized both on the network and off.]

Bright the day, my friends. I do not know what to say of our accommodations, though I count it promising that we are alive. My name is Moondance k'Treva and I am what is known as a Healing-Adept. What that means is: I am able to heal people as well as places.

[The second portion of his power has been taken from him - though he does not realize it yet. His merry, inviting tone is punctuated with a shyer smile.]

Now, tell me where it hurts, hm? I will feel better if I am busy, so think of this as you doing me a favor!

They exist and I fear the desolation they leave in their wake.

[whiteroadrunning]

There's no need to fear it. As long as fair and foul exist, they'll keep each other in check.

audio

[moondancing]

If foul is brought here in greater numbers, however...

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

A grim notion...

audio

[moondancing]

But one we must consider.

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Well. I suppose I can take half, if you take the other half.

audio

[moondancing]

Fair is fair! Someone must keep the balance.

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

It's a deal, then. The question is, which of us has an unfair advantage?

audio

[moondancing]

That I cannot say without meeting you in person. [His tone is warm - almost teasing.]

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Very well, you've talked me into it. Drinks are on me.

audio

[moondancing]

Now you offer drinks? You are making it impossible for me to say no!

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Then my plan has succeeded!

Just let me know when you'd like to take me up on it.

audio

[moondancing]

I will need a way to relax very soon, I expect. This has all been tiring!

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Settling in here can be a bit overwhelming.

[Alec spent a whole fortnight fixated on a toaster. We don't talk about it.]

Are the technologies here familiar to you?

audio

[moondancing]

You can say that again.

[And before he came here, life hadn't been quiet or easy.]

No, not in the least. But I can adapt and learn.

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

I've had to do the same. I'm afraid my world is somewhat rudimentary in comparison to this place. If I can help at all, please do let me know.

... They have a machine solely dedicated to toasting bread. Have you ever heard anything more ridiculous?

[Okay, maybe we'll talk about it a little...]

audio

[moondancing]

I can only imagine someone was exceptionally bored when they manufactured such a thing.

[Toasting...bread? While it is tasty, is a machine really necessary?]

I was living in a tree. Our homes are called ekeles and they are built amongst the branches of ancient trees.

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

[There's a smile evident in Alec's voice.]

That sounds lovely. Homes in trees...

We have a few different places we call home, but none of them in trees! I wish I could see it.

audio

[moondancing]

I would invite you into my ekele. I have a cool spring and a hot spring as I am near the base of the tree. I am not as fond of heights as my fellow Mages.

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Heights are troublesome.

Incidentally, being thrown from the tower of a keep? Wouldn't recommend it.

audio

[moondancing]

Do you speak from...experience?

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Sadly, yes. But it was better than the alternative, I suppose.

So, I amend my statement. Not recommended, but if your choice is being run through by a guard's sword, or leaping from the tower and trusting your wizard friend to transfigure you into an owl before you hit the ground? The latter is probably the better option.
