poorlittleblueburdie((A day or two after Christmas....))
The first view everyone gets is of a blue person, apparently kind of confused, looking over the camera. Because what is this thing? Still fiddling with it, probably doesn't realize it's on.... the view tilts a bit as they continue to inspect the watch, and the viewer gets to see over their shoulder. A big black shape moves a bit behind them, over said shoulder; it's a feather-covered wing. And behind it, there's... lights.
Everyone's seen the Christmas lights that've been up around the city lately... but this? It looks like some of those fancy lamps sold in specialty shops; one of them is on the wall and appears to be a garland of flowers, with a little light in the middle of each blossom. Another is on the table and looks more like a vase of flowers, more little lights in the center of each of them, matching the petal colors, plus a few shining through the colorful glass below. Another looks remarkably like a small tree of some kind, covered in clear green strands, much like tinsel, rather than leaves, but with the ends of a good few of the branches drooping down to end in more little lights. Looks rather a lot like a miniature weeping willow, actually. And one more, one which might not use little Christmas light LEDs for its glow, but looks entirely like a hanging brazier... except, that can't be fire in it; it isn't moving. Looks more like the burdie got creative and made a cover for the bulb out of stained glass that makes it look like a fire is sitting in the middle of the bowl.
The view doesn't last too long before he realizes that it's already broadcasting his video, and then he straightens it, putting on a slightly sheepish little smile and taking a breath to relax.
"H-hi. I-- my name's Avitus, and I just got here, and I... guess I'm a little late for the Solstice festival stuff that's been going on, but... I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some lamps anyway."
He shifts the view back to the little table and the wall behind it, deliberately this time, pulling his wing out of the picture. "I can do others too... I just... I was kind of messing around with these ones first, is all.
"Anyway... um... let me know if you're interested, all right?"
And he'll spend the next fifteen seconds or so trying to cut the feed. Guess who isn't used to this level of technology at all! :D
((Actually, if anyone wants, I can easily enough explain how to make any of those lamps (well, similar!) though the hanging one would potentially be trickiest. But that one need not involve actual stained glass. None of them would be particularly expensive, either... We're talking about post-holiday-sale lights, plastic like you end up with from 2-liter soda bottles, maybe some wire coat hangers, colored tissue paper, etc... stuff like that.))
