Exaltation the Second [Video]

[dodgecharms]

[A wild Secret appears! She looks like she's making sure that her COMP is working before she starts talking - clearly unused to making video communications.]

Um. Right. I've been here for a while, and I guess it's about time that I should actually introduce myself.

So, hello, Hinoto-ri. My name is

[she pauses, looking apprehensive, inhales deeply, and then...]

The Most Secret And Sorrowful Of The Bearers Of The Endless Destiny Of All Creation Which Wander Amidst Forgotten Sights And Fallen Tears Along the Tread Of Ancient Ashen Footsteps Through The Shadow Of That Which Comes And Into That Riotous Cacophony Which Births All Fools And Steals All Beauty, Who Heralds Through Her Silence The Stillness And Chill Of Those Who Were Not Born And Who Will Not Fade 'Till All Things Fall And In That Most Grim Harvest Form The Final Restful Tomb Of All Awakened Life And All The Sleepless Dead.

[She pants, letting her breath catch up. She does seem a little bit proud about getting that all out without passing out, though]

My friends just call me Secret.

Anyhow, I was kind of wondering about the places the rest of you come from, and I have a question that might seem a little weird - do your worlds have Exalts?

Wow... You have a really long name!

[That's what caught her attention.. even if she doesn't understand half of what the name means.]

I'm Nanako Dojima. I'm from Inaba. What's an...'Exalt'?

[dodgecharms]

[There were kids here? That's... kinda rough seeming.]

Yeah, it's kind of a mouthful.

An exalt is somebody that a god has empowered.

[greaterdays]

[...hmm...] Like a monk, or a shrine maiden?

[dodgecharms]

Sometimes. Lots of Dragon-Blooded Exalted become monks.

[greaterdays]

They have dragon blood? Wow!

[dodgecharms]

Well, not actually. Or at least, I don't think so.

They're called that because they're empowered by the five elemental dragons.

[greaterdays]

So.... they're like superheroes who got their powers from dragons.

[she is totally getting this concept!]

[dodgecharms]

[Actually, that's pretty accurate.]

What's a "superhero"?

[greaterdays]

It's someone who fights bad guys for justice. Like, in Phoenix Ranger Featherman.

[dodgecharms]

Well, some of them are like that. Like Ten.

The others are mostly jerks, though.

[greaterdays]

That's not very nice.

They should use their powers for good instead.
