001: Pick Your Poison (Video; un: caster, backdated to event)

[When the broadcast started, Caster was seen sitting in the darkened room of her apartment, dark cloak concealing half her face and covering most of her body in shadow. Certainly, not the most reassuring sight! The ominous smile she gave as she started to speak didn't help either.]

Good evening... Ellipsa, wasn't it? I haven't met many people here yet, but I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

[In Avalon, it had taken her a good couple of months to make her first post on the networks- but under the circumstances, a challenge had presented itself that matched extremely well to her skillset.]

I'll get to the point. I gather that the recent, abnormally cold weather has brought a curse along with it, and that potions need to be brewed in order to alleviate it.

Potion-making happens to be something of a speciality of mine, so if you do find yourself in need of one, do come seek me out at the Apartments in Nightwake City. Likewise, I would not object to sharing teaching of the art if anyone is particularly intrigued.

...I look forward to hearing from you.

[She carefully held up a couple of potion bottles in one gloved hand, potions that lightly gleamed in the dark- the first, shimmering gold with a label written in Greek script, and the other a warm orange that flickered like a fireplace. The light only served to throw more creepy shadows across what could be seen of her face.

...Was anyone desperate enough to trust this suspicious woman??]

Did you pick the lighting out on purpose to look spooky in the video?

[caster really out here picking the most ominous instagram filters-]

... You're not going to poison someone, are you?

It seems like a lot of effort for no reason.

[why are you like this]

[One of his ears gives a small flick. He does, thankfully, understand sarcasm.]

... Okay... so... you're genuinely offering people help.

[???]

[... Flick.]

Yanno, just coming out with stuff like that makes it seem like I shouldn't.

[Just saying. E'kayan is someone who generally says what's on his mind. He's like that.]

But the spooky villain backdrop doesn't help.

[Yup. She used to be like this on Avalon too. Never change.]

I'm pretty sure anyone taking a potion from you would think they lose their soul, with that display.

I'm not sure people will want assistance from a stranger in the dark. But I like the aesthetic, anyway.

[He had actually been contemplating joining the school that teaches potion making. Seemed neat.]

I've been helping gather materials, do you want help?
kerontribution: (whenever they came)

[personal profile] kerontribution 2023-07-25 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not wrong, but it makes it seem like you really want people not to like you.

Maybe they would like you more if you didn't make yourself suspicious on purpose.

[personal profile] kerontribution 2023-07-25 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe normal lighting. Nobody would say that sitting in the light is pretending to be a hero, it's just normal.

[You can just not go out of your way to be extra suspicious.]

Potion making skills? Would you be so kind as to teach others how to make them?

[For a second, Kanade's heart damn near jumped out of her chest watching this video. The ominous air, the shadows, that hair. It's not just Caster's general air, but it throws her back into fresh, raw memories that she's still trying to process. It all reminds her far too much of that woman, and for a second it's like the ice cursing them all had been driven straight back into her heart, spreading fear and anger through her veins-

... But then the woman introduces herself as Caster and she lets out a slow breath, her grip on her phone slowly loosening enough for her to type. It's fine. It's not her. They're still safe.]


um, i don't know if the advice will be helpful, because i didn't know too much about potions before my friend and i had to make them for each other, and you're a lot more knowledgeable...

but be careful

there are... side effects, if you don't make it perfectly

The cloak is cool and Oryou likes it.

[She wouldn't tell Caster to take it off.]

I most certainly would! I am curious to see how these potions are made compared to how it is done in my world.
