[There's an almost lazy arrogance in Sep's posture as he regards the camera, and a small smile on his handsome face. He seems incredibly pleased with himself--and he is. After a moment in which he clearly considers what to say, he lets out a quick, amused breath. His smile softens a little.]

For any new arrivals, and those I haven't met, I'm Sep. I didn't want to speak before I was certain I could deliver. Now I am.

I'm a healer. [The pause shows a brief flicker of distaste on his face, before settling into something more serious. He hates the word he's about to use.] Functionally speaking, I draw on the... magic in water. As such, at home we generally work with patients in a tub of water. For some, the more powerful can work without, but it's not our preference.

As far as specialty, I'm most familiar with injuries, any kind that needs attention. By my people's standards I am more skilled than most. [He frowns briefly.] Serious illness generally takes longer, and is more exhausting. And with injuries, there are limits. With any luck we won't have to face anything truly serious.

I know some people won't be quite as comfortable with healing by [almost invisible pause] magic as my people are. For us, it's as everyday as breathing. Obviously I'll respect your boundaries, whatever they are, though I hope you'll take the professional's advice.

[Faint amusement glitters in his bright green eyes.] I'll be working out of my suite in WA-3A. [It's just more convenient.] Come by whenever you need to, especially for emergencies.

I think I'll pass on that one. Water also drowns people.

It's also is one of the main components for all life.

[If it weren't against his rules, he'd almost want to apologize to his father right now.]

So is electricity [he demonstrates with a snap of his fingers, igniting a little shower of living sparks] but you ever heard the phrase 'too much of a good thing'?

[An eyebrow goes up. Interesting. That doesn't look like a windcrafting...

But he's also amused.] I hope for your friends' sake you aren't one of those people who think a bath is 'too much of a good thing.'

What? Dude. No. Gross.

Then you don't have to worry about it when you need the help.

[SCREECH]

Did you just threaten me?

[that 'when' is really ominous, Sep.]

[That wasn't funny. That wasn't funny.

...Okay, that was just a little bit funny.]

Jumpy, aren't we?

Oh because I bet you're totally fine with being kidnapped to a giant turtle and then having weird guys threaten you.

[His expression doesn't flicker, despite the flash of bitterness at the word 'kidnapped.'

If only.]

Has someone threatened you? Do you need any help with it?

[Just because he means it doesn't mean he can't be mocking at the same time.]

[... well he meant Sep's own comment, which makes him lean away a little from the screen. Is this guy for real? Genuine boyscout material.]

No, it's just a figure of speech. And even if it weren't, I can handle myself.

[Genuine Sep may be. He is also far less of a boyscout than some people on the turtle. He just has a twisted sense of humor.]

The lightning. How often is it 'too much of a good thing?'

Do you really want me to answer that?

[EYEBROW RAISE YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT A TEENAGER'S (NON-EXISTENT) SEX LIFE OVER HERE.]

I like to be prepared, just in case it's an injury I need to heal.

[Yes, his face is totally straight. It's a family thing.]

I can't be harmed by electricity. I just get... you know, high.
