un: silhouette among silk spreads
[ A cheerful voice comes on over the network the night before they are set to leave. To some of you it may be familiar already, to others a mystery, but thankfully he is not going to leave you in the dark for long. ]
Alright, sounds like we're rolling out tomorrow! I haven't even met everyone yet so this is going to be interesting, but, uh, Hi! I'm Fox.
[ There's a long pause... ... ... Just long enough to make someone wonder where the fuck this guy went when suddenly there's a sound of a bunch of pieces of paper falling loose everywhere and him scrambling to pick them up: ]
Sorry! Sorry, uh, where was I? Right, I'm Fox, I'm - ah - a mage, I guess, is the best way to put it. Wizard always sounded stupid. Anyway, uh, so this is all a little new to me, haha - uh - not that it isn't new to you guys? From what I understand, pretty new for everyone. Even the um. People who have been here a little longer. Still not totally clear on all that but - right, sorry, not the point.
The point is! I do a lot of enchantment magic. I guess here they call it thralling? Anyway I'm from Canada and while I can't say I'm from the tundra exactly, Toronto still gets pretty fucking cold so warming spells on clothes is like, a must have, for at least six months of the year. It's kind of like - um - you know those little packets that you can rub together and they heat up? No? Handwarmers? I can't remember what they're called. Anyway - it's kind of like that. But in your clothes. So you're just always warm. Which is good, in the winter. Obviously. Um--
Uh--
God I know I had something more to say but uh--
I guess if there's anything else you think you'll need, let me know? I'm not charging anyone for spells, but you will have to bring components. So uh for warming spells incense is great, or like, a box of matches or something like that usually does the trick. In a pinch, tinder wood, but you need like a good couple handfuls of it and then a way to burn it. Anyway. You probably don't care? You don't care.
OH-- [ For a second it seemed like he was done, but he wasn't. sorry. ] -- one last thing. Um, magic? Other people's magic? Your magic? I'd really like to take a look at it. I'm real quick at picking stuff up and I'm happy to teach my own in exchange if you want? If that even works here. Still experimenting with that! So if you're up for experimenting that's good t--
[ He gets cut off by someone's screaming orgasm. ]
-oo... okay. Okay! Yeah, anyway, hit me up! Cheers!

And what exactly is nonsense about Mercury in retrograde?
[Please develop to the man whose whole world's cosmogony is derived on Star Signs.]
no subject
And oh my god, I swear, every single time something goes wrong you hear someone going "Mercury must be in retrograde!!" as if a planet has ultimate power over whether you drop your latte or whatever.
no subject
[At least, that's not what the people of Huangdao call it at all. It's just a normal part of life.]
Shuǐxīng is very powerful, and the retrograde period particularly inauspicious. It's true that it might not provoke all of the smallest inconveniences, but you should not take it lightly anyway.
no subject
I take it lightly when people blame their own mistakes on planets, [ He says, a little wryly. ]. Or pure chance on planets. They are just as unlucky every other day of the week, and I've yet to see any evidence of -- shui..xing? Huh. Why didn't it translate that? [He is immediately distracted. ]
Can you name the other planets for me? Mars, Venus, whatever? Like I got your drift, but for some reason the translation spell just kind of skipped over it--
no subject
[Because while the Star Masters are extremely powerful, the abilities do happen in other people too.]
The planets? In order, they are Shuǐxīng, Jīnxīng, Dìqiú, Huǒxīng, Mùxīng, Tǔxīng, Tiānwángxīng, Hǎiwángxīng, and Míngwángxīng.
no subject
....
What happens to you when I do it?
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus--
