Greetings and salutations, my esteemed captive audience!
[TODAY. . . your video feed is taken up by the face of a young man with a teardrop painted on his cheek and a top hat adorning the crown of his head. he presses a hand against his chest and gives the camera a polite and tiny bow, though it's clear from the angle that he's holding said camera with his other one]
Ahaha! Was that joke a bit too gauche? My apologies, I couldn't quite help myself.
[he does not actually look apologetic at all. look at him he made a funny]
All humor aside, I'm a relatively new resident of this. . . [a beat] Lovely city. ["lovely"] I haven't been here long, but already I'm learning much about worlds other than my own. Which brings me to the purpose of this communication.
[it's brief, but the astute may see Lyney flick his wrist subtly and suddenly, until a small red rose blossoms to life between his fingers. he twists the flower idly in his hand as he speaks]
I have a particular interest in magic, you see. Stage magic, to be more precise. After all, I am a great magician, and being brought to this strange land won't change this fact!
[another flick of his wrist, and he closes his flingers around the rose, which seems to just. . . vanish into thin air. where did it go??]
But I am now aware that magic can vary from world to world. In addition to stage magic, my world has Visions, and I've further learned about the existence of something called "magecraft."
If you're feeling a little bored, won't you share with me the nature of magic in your world? It's for research! I promise.
[HE'S JUST A CURIOUS MAGICIAN, THAT'S ALL]

Now now, you can't just ask a magician how his magic works.
[his offense is dramatized, at least]
As I said, a magician's tricks are his greatest secret! They should be held until the moment he finally lays down in his grave.
[and beyond]

If there are any tools of the trade that you'd like to make for yourself, you're free to come use my workshop, by the by. I've it set up mostly for construction projects, but woodworking and painting can be done at any bench.
