un: man's greatest treasure (video)
[ooc: This is set during the Annointed event of Unkharil.]
[The video shows the jungle for a moment, followed by a close-up of Hermione's face in the dark, illuminated by the Lumos spell at the tip of her wand. She looks wide-eyed, a little dishevelled, leaning against a massive tree trunk. She looks at the camera, trying to figure out the point she was going to make, opens her mouth, closes it. Pauses.
Then:] Drugs are bad. Prophecy drugs are bad. Don't do drugs, kids. [Another pause.] Are there even any kids around for this public service announcement? Probably not awake at this hour anyway...[She rubs one hand over her face, the wand still in said hand creating a bit of strobe light effect for anyone watching.]
Right - the point. I found the giant snake - not a Basilisk as I had suspected, given that I'm not petrified this time, but that's beyond the point. I have a vial for Deimar - and instructions, which I'll deliver, but I wanted to see if anyone else has...gone in? The jungle, for the anointment venom. [Merlin, this place is weird and these people are weird.]
For people keen to keep track - our Alem prince is meant to find who in his midst has bloodshed on their hands. I tried to ask if that meant people from Alem, or included us as well, but Kharil-asuk didn't answer.
[A pause.] Yes - that's it.

It is not unreasonable to be worried.

Not to mention, following a giant snake god. [Amused huff here.] Alright - you do make a compelling argument. I thought I'd be safer up here, because of all the little creatures prowling the jungle and the whole...night-time thing. I could stay put, return when it's daylight and not put any of my friends in danger.

Oh, Lan Sizhui, leader among your peers, please allow me to allow you to please lead me out of this godsforsaken, humid, dark jungle.

... you know what, he can't even begin to answer that with teasing back, not in the least because it made him suddenly miss the other juniors something fierce. ]
I will seek out your light. Do not be alarmed if I drop in from above.
[ Sword flying is a thing. And much safer than trying to make his way along the jungle floor. ]
And... I have not been much of a leader since I arrived here, have I? Al those who would be entrusted to me have been left to make do on their own.

[ He remembers that flying is not something she is eager to do. And likely even less so right now. ]
