Hugo Kupka - FFXVI
Small man turn big. Great lover, just...very one sided with his love but he would never hurt his love ones. He's very selective with everything.
Also the dominant of Titan, the earth guy? you know?
"Why, it holds the key to just about everything here in Spirale!" With a practiced ease, Volo navigates to the wallet app, displaying... a mere pittance of dust within it. But that's only because he hadn't been doing much on the streets lately! "Here, the currency is Dust. Not literally, mind you, it's all stored somehow on this very device--" Volo shakes their phone, as if to emphasize it.
Getting used to the city had been... a hassle. None of his guidebooks had the knowledge needed to navigate such a place, but Volo was nothing if not adaptable! If they could learn how to live as a frog, they could learn to live in a city beyond their understanding.
"This little device can do very many things that one would usually need a spell for! Such as--" Their tongue sticks out as they attempt to remember how to open the camera, before the screen reflects him and his new companion. Volo takes a picture, a well-framed selfie, and shows it off with pride. "A camera! You can log all sorts of things you encounter within this realm with only the click of a button! Truly, miraculous stuff."
undoctored, unedited, something that would be helpful in making deals. but if this is a devise commonly used in the city, then that means... everyone would have one, and that means the legality of it can be put into question. Well, I suppose if something can be altered, you can't trust it.
Thats what Hugo would think, already thinking of several things, several deals he could do already while he's here. Already he has plans that go beyond the usual fare of being the titan dominant.
"You have been rather , helpful in this endeavor. Perhaps I can call you once another time, should I need help."
It was not a suggestion.
"After all, a expert such as you would offer the most truthful of information."
It couldn't really, hurt, could it? Volo thought for a moment, a finger to his chin, wondering what should go first for someone so new to the city. It wasn't like Volo had been here long enough to really know everything just yet, but he prided himself on knowing enough to lead the blind. ( Elminster had said so himself; Volo was no idiot. But he most certainly was a fool ).
"I'm sure you must be familiar with your lodgings by now, yes?" Volo raised his brow curiously. It had been the first thing provided, alongside the odd artifact and the pamphlet. "But I'm sure you didn't know that the Stars have provided you a little trinket to keep close with you!" From his pocket, he produces a phone, presenting it with an air of mystique. "It is a phone! A useful and peculiar little artifact, and it will be vital for your stay here! I am sure you've not a single copper on your persons-- and it doesn't seem to be the currency here, either. So one must make do with what they are given."
Resident was too small for someone like Hugo, who once prided himself on having enough wealth to last several generations. But now is not the time to think about that , not when something important was missing. Not when she continued to not be here.
"That little bauble, important? Pray tell. How.'
Hugo is not one to deny knowledge...so long as it is useful for him. After all he is a merchant of trade, even if the most important item is not something he cans imply get anymore. like embers, it stirs inside, but there needs to be a catalyst now. Hugo leans closer, one arm almost encircling the other, open chest closer. Something that looked almost predatory on how he wants this information.
"Ah, savior is..." ( a bit much? ) "very aptly put, my friend!" It seems to lift Volo's spirit, to consider himself a savior. And who is to say Volo wasn't? He's contributed so much to his realm already, with his many decades of tireless research. Spirale would just be one more travel guide amongst his menagerie. "I must say, it'll take me quite some time before it's anywhere near finished. This city still has many things to reveal to me, after all."
"And why don't you talk about it. I am all ears, since, alas I have nothing else to do."
Knowledge is power, is the basic most, basic of sayings in anything that has ever happened. Without knowledge, business deals cannot be done, cannot be made. Without knowledge, not even this city would have been made.
"Why don't you enlighten me."
"Er, well..." Volo rested his hand on his chin a while, trying to think of how best to explain. He hadn't been here for very long yet, all its intricacies so new and far beyond him. But he did understand a few things, and he supposes it couldn't hurt to be of some decent help ( not that he's new to that in particular; the life of a chronicler involves a lot of hand-holding through words ). "You're in... Spirale! A peculiar place, this is. Arcane abilities stripped away, many of your possessions too.. I hope to write a guidebook to this place, eventually."
Hugo won't admit how much that reminds him too much of a certain unpleasant man, one who continues to be a thorn on his side no matter what.
"Ah, so you become the savior of those newly caught, tossed into this web of magic that takes. I suppose that is one way to pass the time."
"And how goes progress of it?"
Finding a guide? a book. must be expensive in all cases. after all writing material no matter what, would be expensive for mass production.
"Ah- stone?" Volo waves his hand hurriedly ( the mere thought is terrifying ). <DC10 FAILURE!> They attempt to cover such haste with a half-hearted chuckle, but it betrays the very real fear he has of being turned into a statue ( again ). "W-well, my friend, that would be me! I am Volothamp Geddarm--" <DC10 FAILURE!> He attempts to bow, but his beret comes loose; quickly, he snatches it from the air. "Chronicler, wizard, and celebrity. I work as an archive specialist in the city--"
Either a fop, or important. the fear felt is so real, but for different reasons. there is something about it ...that felt different. But he could not place this fear right now.
"A pleasure then, sir Volothamp." it was hard to say if his voice was sarcastic or not.
"Then you are the perfect person to enlighten me, on the nature of this...giant of a city." Hugo can play nice if he needs to. and he defitely needs to right now.
"A city far greater then I have seen , and I have seen plenty. Boy, you there. Does this city have its own limits or does it spawn endlessly in all directions like a parasite?"
@flyingspinkicks /
"Ah, but I don't hide at all!" Aside from the blood ritual. And the war wizard in Suzail. And the pen-name. And... it turned out he had a lot to hide. "I know it's awfully confusing, with me being so charming, but I'm a wizard. Though unfortunately, in such a place as this, I can't cast anymore than a mere mending spell..." Volo looks to their feet, gesturing with his hands. "But you, I assume, are new here? Yes? If you've yet to learn the great name of Volothamp Geddarm?"
"A wizard you say. And don't tell me you start turning to stone once you over use your body on such minor things like mending clothes."
Though Hugo certainly did nothing to improve the situation of bearers of magic, he himself being one who had too much of a good thing. He certainly didn't abuse them like others, or Waloed did. Or the empire for that matter.
"I never heard of it, but I'll guess you're wiling to...entertain me on this matter."
@enchiiridion
"You dress like a bard, but your intelligence betrays your more scholarly pursuits."
Despite the calm facade that Hugo shows, he is in fact someone who is panicking a lot deep, deep inside. Like a tiny crack that will topple a mountain, sooner or later. Hugo will not remember his last...
"Though, I suppose you never had plans on hiding that part of you."
A small starter call....pls clap.
Cap at four. money talk though. or like a lot of stuff. Clive dni jk jk
