Project 1: [voice] un: hello

[unluckynumberseven]

[The Eluvio definitely made him nervous, bringing back memories of a different highly technological setting, but Emil had already made the decision to keep his weird skull-like head up and carry on. That was all there was to do, right? So even though he was scared, he was not only going to wear the strange clothes they gave him and try his best at his first ever real job, but he was going to... try to talk to new people.

It still felt like a real accomplishment, even if he did feel a lot safer not using the video feed. He just didn't want to scare anyone..]

Hello, everyone! My name is Emil.

[There. A perfectly normal thing to say! He could do this. He was going to ignore his anxieties and be brave like his friends.]

This is really confusing, but... as long as I'm here, I want to help! I can use magic, and I can fight with it, so if anyone needs a helping hand, like in a dangerous situation... I could do that.

[He can feel himself growing more and more self-conscious, so he hurries to wrap it up.]

Oh! And... does anyone know where I could get some gloves? Really small ones?

[Well, Emil can't argue against that point.]

Okay! Let's do it! But... even if nobody can, don't worry, okay? I can work hard on my own and figure some things out for myself, too. I won't give up, no matter what.

[And it's encouraging, just knowing someone's in his corner.]

[genice]

( now that attitude is one that's easier for him to support; it's closer to how he thinks. giving up isn't an option. figuring things out as you go is sometimes the way you must move forward. he allows himself to smile, so that it changes his voice, letting him sound more upbeat when he responds. )

Good. I'll hold you to that. No giving up, no matter what.

[unluckynumberseven]

[Some of it's just bravado, more of Emil's blind reassurance in the face of things not looking so great. But he really does intend to keep his magic in check, especially now that he gets that gutting the Eluvio isn't just a problem to anyone caught in the blast radius.

But Victor sounds less intense now, and Emil lets himself relax too.]

No way! I made a promise to someone back home. If I didn't do my best, she'd probably dropkick me into a lake!

[He sounds more cheerful than anything, though. Strong personality types, right?]

...Anyway, I should probably get going. I'm kinda hungry, and I have to go to work soon.

It was nice to meet you, Victor! Thanks for everything!

[genice]

( ... that sounds like something Yurio would threaten. it's enough that Victor chuckles, waving at... thin air, since he's on an audio feed. )

Nice meeting you too, Emil. Take care of yourself.

( goodbye!!! )
