Name: Xingchen
Date: feoveuer 28
Format: video

[After awakened at the coven and he has a lot of information being explained to him, he's been encouraged to find a place of his own, but not without some help getting there to one of the houses, needing a guide. He's not sure where to go, what to do, or where to start. Life is difficult when the last one is full of cruelty, and furthermore, he is blind, so to him, it's going to take a lot of adjustment.

After a while, when he's calmer, he just needs to start his life somewhere and get back on track. So this is a start. In the video, he appears to be a man with a fair face, long black hair tied up with a ponytail and a hairpin, and a white blindfold around his head to cover his eyes to suggest the man is blind. He's speaking into the device, his voice soft, polite and there's a subtle fragility in his manners]

Greetings, this is all very new to me. I've been told I'm a witch, so there is much to learn. Life isn't easy when I could not see and the world is dark.

My name is Xingchen. It's nice to meet you. I'm taking things one day at a time. In the meanwhile, I heard about bonds. I will need a bond soon. Being unbonded for a long time can be dangerous, I've been told. I think maybe...we can think of living arrangements. I keep bumping into things and couldn't find my keys, but finding my meals isn't difficult when I ask. It's also quiet whenever I wake up in the morning, but couldn't find my way around.

[despite everything, he sounds appreciative] I hope we can be friends if there is anyone out there.

Comments

[stardustofdawn]

I maybe a little inexperienced, but I don't wish to be hindered. I'm studious in magic to the best of my ability and be more flexible despite my obstacles.

[That makes Xingchen all the more curious and he wonders if this is an offer? One can hope, but if there is an incompatibility then it's fair game]

I'm curious. What kind of disadvantages?

[themogget]

[Well. He doesn't see the point in lying about it.]

You will find most people here are human-shaped, or at least bipedal. I am not. I'm a cat.

[Or... has the shape of a cat. It's really neither here not there for the purpose of explanation.]

[stardustofdawn]

[There's a pause as he tries to picture a cat speaking to him so politely and articulate. He's taking his word for it]

I can totally understand how disadvantage that can be. How did you manage to get your necessities? Or is it something you're used to it and adapt over time?

[themogget]

Mm... I'm sure you're aware of what some people will do for you if they think you're incapable of doing it for yourself.

[Not that he's implying this man takes advantage of his own blindness, but Mogget is very cute and knows how to use it to his advantage when he needs something.]

[stardustofdawn]

[With some humor]

I'm quite aware. I find I get what I need quickly by simply asking nicely and it depends on who is offering.

I'm Xingchen, by the way. It's nice to meet you. What can I help you with as a cat?

[themogget]

You don't need to offer me any help.

[The man can't know that Mogget finding him interesting is the only reason he said anything, and that him finding someone interesting enough to approach can be a rare thing.]

And you can call me Mogget. How do you find your way around?

[stardustofdawn]

It's still offered. Back home, I help others without any expectations in return. It's my nature. [Much cause to his own detriment]

[with a nod]Nice to meet you, Mogget.

Oh, for that...I simply asked around who is around me and I asked nicely if they could spend a bit of their time with me to help me get to where I need to go. I'll hold their hand and they lead the way around.

[themogget]

Ah, you're that kind of person.

[He knows the sort. Usually find them to be pushovers in his estimation, but they can show certain strengths and surprise him now and then.]

That suffices for you then. And that's a permanent arrangement for you, is it?

[That is, can he remember where he's been?]
