009 // i carry your bones in my heart
Who: Dorian and YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide
Action: On the Three Twins!
When: 8/11, Midnight.
[It's rare in Drift Fleet to see Dorian as The Necromancer. He plays with people, he flirts with them. Occasionally his humor is morbid. But that's just him.
But tonight is different.
The broadcast is from a darkened cargo bay of the SS Three Twins.
Dorian is wearing black robes with a pointed hood, and as the broadcast starts, he gestures with a skull-topped staff, seeming to almost do it for show. There's a whispering of something circling him, a spirit, perhaps, and candles illuminate around him as it vanishes.]
I do hope you're having a good night. I had nearly lost track of the date, what with the odd stars, but I'm quite certain that it is the beginning of the eighth month, Matrinalis. Which means, for those of you unaccustomed to Thedosian holidays, it is All Soul's Day. Or close enough. ...regardless...
[He conjures a small flicker of fire in his hand, the light casting shadows on his face, the glowing purple lines of necromantic sigils and runes seemingly etched into his hands and arms.]
It is the day we Thedosians remember our dead. As a necromancer, I daresay I am qualified to lead the celebrations, if you will.
You are welcome to come and extinguish a candle for those you've lost.
((OOC: A combination network post and mingle log! Start up an action thread if you'd like, thread with other folks, just leave a comment in the subject if your character is looking to chat with Dorian.))

video; promptly drops this (I'M KIDDING)
[He smirks a little.]
I suspect that "battle" to some would seem like fancy use. There's a marked difference between a mage who can create fire sculptures and one that can use their abilities for more...practical purposes.
video; pained cat yowl
I'm human. The nanomachines are just another tool.
[ A tiny mutant bioweapon human shut uuuup. ]
Fire sculptures, huh? That'd be fun to do, though. Can you do that?
video; LAUGHS
[And he gestures, a pattern of fire in front of him, delicate geometry from which a serpent uncoils. It opens its mouth, flames hissing, before he extinguishes it with a dismissive wave.
He smirks, pleased.]
Quite simple, actually, but the ease and how long one can sustain it are the key. You see, it's one thing to sculpt magic for a few moments, quite another to maintain it while entertaining guests.
video;
[ Looking impressed over here. He's even applauding (AFTER SETTING THE THING DOWN OFC). Jr. is one who appreciates showmanship. ]
While entertaining? How long can you do it for, then?
