[Luxord has his hood up, hiding his features completely; though those that spoke to him in the junk pile will recognize his voice. He's idly shuffling his cards, and it seems he's set the communicator on a wall or some such, as the angle's actually rather good... enough to catch both him, the extremely cozy looking (well... cozy by Cybertronian standards. with Luxord in it, it'd be more apt to call it "cavernous") nook he's sitting in, and then the magnificent view of a placid lake outside the window.]

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm actually finding this situation rather ideal. Comfortable surroundings, interesting things to explore, pleasurable company... now, all we'd need to make it complete is a weekly game night and perhaps someone who could cook, and we'd be quite, set, don't you agree?

[Flip, shuffle, and finally his hands still]

So, let's get to know each other, just a little, shall we? I come from a moonlit city without a sun, where the rain falls without end. But I'm a well-traveled soul, I must say, I've been to many worlds in my time, and I'm curious about the ones you've come from. So, then...

[flip and draw]

Tell me of your worlds, would you? I'm curious.

Interesting. Where I'm from, if you've the talent for spellcraft, it's easy enough to learn almost any spell, given time. And, of course, easy enough to lose them, given that magic like that isn't innate, if that makes sense. For us, it's more like... well, having a sword. You lose the sword, you can't use it. Here, I've lost my set of Air spells.

But the way you speak of it, it sounds almost more like a limb, something part of you, as it were. In which case... Xaldin's air mastery is a part of him, but he's also an absolutely dreadful teacher, trust me. You'd want to find someone else. That, and I suspect the way we use magic, even our own innate magic, differs greatly from your own... even if I could teach you an air spell, it probably wouldn't fulfill the requirements of whatever your role is.

So...like magic weapons? Neat!

A limb...yeah, pretty much, I think. I control the elements through martial arts gestures, like a kick or a punch for example. And yeah, it's...it's definitely a part of me.

Thanks for the info.

...So, you mentioned cooking? I've managed to scrape some peaches together, but I'm still looking for more.

Well, I'm no good at cooking myself, but Alpha Trion's place--where I am right now--seems the most, shall we say, verdant of the various locales on this planet. There's a few gardens, though most of them are not well-cared for. Lots of tomatoes, a few apples, some root vegetables. Turnips, mostly. I think for now we're out of luck for meat for the moment, but... weren't you looking for water earlier?

[he turns the camera to the HUGE and beautiful lake outside the window]

I do believe we'd have you covered. No fish in it that I know of, sadly enough, though perhaps if we're lucky some will fall from the sky, hmm? I've been working with Trion as well to explain human food to him in the hopes of getting more... we could use some help, I think...

[not_halfbaked]

WOW THAT'S A GORGEOUS LAKE--

Fruits and vegetables would hit the spot! Bummer about the meat though. I wonder if there are any critters to hunt?

I'll have to check out Alpha Trion's place sometime.
