un: man's greatest treasure [video]

[reparo]

Since we find ourselves in a new location, and seem to have picked up some, maybe some introductions are due. I'm Hermione Granger, and I'm from England. I'm currently assigned the role of a tax collector, it's going great. [Sarcasm.] I'm sure it'll be fine - I was a modiste in Taravast, for heaven's sake...

[Quickly, a smile! Nervous, but a smile.]

What else - oh, I'm also a witch. [Which reminds her!] I'm going to start brewing potions again, since the ground isn't being rocked from side to side by the sea and the sea monster... Supplies are limited, and alternatives to the ingredients that I normally use can be weak on the ground, so I can't brew as many as I'd like. I'd ask that we all exercise some caution and not need them as much until I can get the reserves back up.

[There is a pause, as she opens her mouth to say I also don't like being treated like a child, because-] Huh. I...don't know how old I am.

[A frown, and she seems to forget that she's recording herself now, lost in her own musings:] Let's see, it was May when I come from, but was it the same month here? [To the screen, to her audience, the question:] Does this world even work in twelve months in a year? Seasons? It was quite crisp when I woke up in Taravast for the first time, maybe autumn? [And she pales.] Oh, gods, it's been almost a year...

[A shallow inhale - I want to go back home, we just ended a war, I need to see my friends, I need to grieve my friends, I need to - and a very shaky exhale. She cuts the feed off.]

[ Wen Qing's never had someone to bounce ideas off of, beyond Wei Wuxian just before her death, so working with someone who gets herbs has been a joy for her. ]

I lack anywhere private to store herbs and concoct salves, but my job does allow me access to a lab from time to time, and I have made use of it. Allow me to send some things back with you, for you and the others in the city.

I could come to you under the guise of collecting tax? You know that my bag's as private as it can get. [It does not work, for starters, for people who don't know how much there is inside the bag. At this point, she can summon every little object inside, but she has also started to keep track in a notepad she carries on her person, just to make sure that she doesn't keep perishables in there for too long.

What a time to miss tinned beans.] And bring you back salve, if I can make it after your recipes.

[ How she misses having qiankun pouches. ] A good way to smuggle things across the borders. Can you store a person inside?

[reparo]

Not alive, not for long anyway. There's no air in the bag.

[silverneedles]

A pity, it would make crossing the boundary much easier.

Hanguang-Jun has asked already - I think I am beginning to miss my friend's invisibility cloak...

[silverneedles]

Invisibility cloak? That would be very handy here.
