Name: Zack Fair
Date: 29th Iuneril
Format: Video

[ This is, shockingly, Zack's first time using his Watch like this. Even though he's a sociable person who's happy to meet new people, he does tend to prefer face-to-face interactions, especially for a first meeting. So he hadn't felt much need for a broadcast until now.

He's realized lately how much their numbers have dwindled, and so can't help but want to reach out to his fellow Mirrobound, whether to talk to someone he hasn't seen in a while, or to make a new friend.

And, well, there's the practical reason. ]

Hey, all! [ He starts the video message with a grin and a quick wave. ] If we haven't met before, I'm Zack. Seems like we all need to band together more than ever now, and I also had a question.

[ He shifts his watch around so that the camera can capture at least some of his wings. Mainly, all viewers will be able to make out is a mass of dark brown feathers, before his face returns to front and center again. ]

I'm a chimera, and my transformation finished a few months back, but I'm still getting used to these wings. I'm not sure if I can even fly the way a harpy or dragon could, but it's probably worth learning. I mean, because it'd be helpful, but also because it'd be cool. Does anyone have any tips? Seems like it'd be hard to practice without risking some bodily harm.

[ A pause, and then he decides to ask one more thing. ]

Also, does anyone know if I'm the only chimera left here now? I used to know a few others, but they've all left. [ He shrugs one shoulder. ] I dunno, I was just curious. [ It would be strange, to be the only one, so he's hoping that isn't the case. ]

Anyway, thanks! It was nice talking to you all.

[ With that, the feed ends. ]

Zack, my feathery friend! It's good to see you so energetic still!

[Despite those losses, he means. Jaskier is finally finding his energy again now, too, and in no small part to the fact he has become a Monster. A truly bizarre happening, if you ask him, but once he personally witnessed the raw strength an Aeternae wields effortlessly, well. It does make a man feel a bit more secure in the chances of his getting kidnapped again.

And he still has friends (even if their number dwindle.)

Also, hello Zack. Your somewhat-recognizable friend is mostly the same, except his skin is now blue and three crooked, sharp crystal horns are bursting out of his forehead. His eyes have gone completely blue, without sclera or iris to be found. It could be a little intense, but he imagines a knight -- or a soldier -- has seen far worse.

He clears his throat.] As you can see, some things have changed, and I do happen to bear wings myself... on a full moon. Though I'm fairly sure they are not meant for any sort of flight or fancy. However, I'm fairly sure I can now catch you if you fall, should you need a helping hand.

[ That stung a little bit. "Left" he says, as if they had a choice. But then again, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Who really cares? ]

Protip: Start small. Like, take your height, then add about half of that and that'd be your starting point. If you're able to glide even a foot or a half, then flying wouldn't be impossible.

Have you seen how birds teach their young flying? Don't think there's any other way to handle it. And I'm speaking from lotsa experience too.

[ Being. A harpy. Ya know... ]

The actual tip is: ya might wanna figure out if the wings are decorative or actually useful. Second tip: lose weight!
