Avitus figured out how to use the network! Next task: figuring out how to use the watch.... [Video]
((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.))

*silent another sec, wings gone from behind him... he sort of hugs them around himself, almost below the camera's view. The smile's definitely gone now.*
They're not like that where I'm from.... We fight the other clans because they turned on us too, and... they've ended up as beasts now. The other clans did, I mean. It's just us and the humans left, that aren't.
Why do they hate everyone, where you're from? There's some sort of reason, isn't there? I mean... they kind of had one in Nosgoth....
[video]
[video]
*not sure what to say about that.*
....I'm glad that "god" isn't in the Citadel back home, that's for sure. Our humans aren't quite that... um.... *hm, what's a good adjective here? He's trying to come up with one, and failing.*
[video]
[video]
*he shakes his head a little; he's not going to really debate that point.*
...Smarter about who to listen to, maybe?
*pauses, thinking that one over too. There's definitely something not being said here.... but--*
*....wait, something else just hit him.*
[video]
*apparently this is a big Holy Crap What? sort of moment for him.*
[video]
All humans have going for them is their overwhelming numbers and their Space Marines.
[video]
*a small sigh* There used to be a lot of humans living with the clans, before. But planets? How would something like that-- I mean, how would one even begin to find those, to live on them?
*guess whose society hasn't come up with space travel yet!*
[video]

[video]
*no, burdie. Not really like those. XD*
Re: [video]
You would...
...need to talk with someone else for a better explanation. The Space Marine, maybe, if he doesn't decide to kill you.
[video]
*little shift* ...and... who's that?
*because the idea that someone might simply decide to kill him -- best to know who that is, so he can potentially avoid them. ...burdie's sorta timid, if the soldier hasn't caught on to that yet. :/*
[video]
[No. Did he ever get his name? Kais doesn't think he did.]
...He is a very large man. Nine feet tall, maybe? In grey armor.
[video]
*this worries him.*
[video]
[video]
...oh.
S-so... he isn't actually dangerous?
*biting the inside of his lip. Mixed signals here, ack.*
[video]
[video]
*translation: maybe never; not brave enough. But we'll see.*
So, um... *subject change, subject change-- right!*
...what's your name?
[video]
[video]
And I'm Avitus.
....which... I said already, huh. Earlier.
*yeeeeah, he's... not great at the social thing, sorry. Burdie's still kinda flustered from the thing about the captain guy being dangerous, to boot.*
