ii ; video & action
Who: Octavia Blake & Open
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Moon or Wonderduck
When: Broadcast, evening of Oct 16; Action, whenever
[The feed that pops up is originating from a basic (and boring) room above one of the old timey buildings on the moon. Octavia's lounging on the cot, tossing a baseball sized object up into the air, then catching it, not really looking at the comm.]
I gotta admit that the past two weeks-- or however long since I got here-- have been pretty damn long. Back home, there was so much more to do. [The ball goes up in the air.] Not in the entertaining way [And down again.] but stuff we had to get done. Hunting, scouting, building, repairing, you get the idea. It was one thing after another, the days went by in a flash.
[She catches the ball again and sticks it on the small side table by her cot, sitting up at the same time.] Pretty much, doing stuff for fun wasn't on the agenda, so I'm kinda at a loss here.
[Octavia huffs, blowing a bit of hair out of her face, before finally looking at the comm.]
I guess suggestions are welcomed if anyone wants to toss one my way. [Her boots tap the floor for a moment.] Also, I want to keep learning combat. So far, I've gotten decent with a sword, but I don't want to stop. Unarmed is good, too. Honestly, whatever's fine. I can take a beating, and I'm a quick enough study. I can't pay right now, that'd be later, unless favors or chores work, too.
[There's a pause, where she considers something.] My name's Octavia Blake. I'm security on the Wonderduck. You can find me there or on the moon for now if you want. That's it I guess.
[She flashes a sheepish grin before cutting the broadcast. Feel free to run into her on the ship or moon, whenever.]

And if you have nothing against magic, I have a blade I've been forgetting to test in someone else's hands.
[ That didn't come out right... He thinks. Sorry, he got thinking too hard on other things. ]
... I can explain if you aren't bothered by magic. Would probably just be a waste of both our time if I did and you didn't want to touch it.
Video
Okay, explain. I'll give you an answer when you're finished.

I made a spell that ... makes a physical shape of a sword. It's temporary, but would work in a situation where any normal blades have been... lost. [ Or taken by the things that steal people from where they were. ]
I have tested it - it's sharp, it keeps its shape and edge, its a little lighter than one would expect, it lasts a rough half an hour after I stop fueling it. I haven't handed it off to anyone else to make sure the results are the same. I would still be fueling the initial creation, but it wouldn't require magic after that.

... and I am Duke. Which would help in either case, I think.

[A shrug.] Sure, lemme know when's good for you.

But then he focuses back on the video. ]
Let me eat something. Perhaps.. a half hour, on the moon?
Video
Video -> action?
Very true.
[ ... He'll still probably be on the moon a bit early, but that's just... because he likes being off the ship. ]
action!
action! (deadbrain forever later-)
But he is on the tall side and has perhaps ridiculously long white hair, so . . . even if he's looking vaguely confused because he's trying to remember stand-out details, at least he's... distinct. ]
