All right. That's not great, but it's not an emergency, probably.

He tries to think of what to look at next, and concludes that, actually, he wants to go for a walk. And not particularly stand out like an elf in a gnome village while he does it. Is it possible to buy clothes from the device? (And how do the prices compare to what he's got in the bank, anyway?)

...in theory he can, in practice he's clearly not going to figure out how to buy clothes that actually fit this way. He heads back down to the desk and asks them to point him at a clothing store.

He can order clothes if he cares to guess at his size (or get this app and take a picture of himself next to any recognized object of standard size, such as his hotel soap) but asking also works! There is a store just around the corner.

Permalink

Around the corner is good. He heads over to see what they've got.

Permalink

There's some people across the street whispering to each other and pointing at him! They take pictures. One yells "HEY RAAFI DO A MAGIC TRICK."

Permalink

He intones a few words and rises a foot into the air, giving them a second to react before swooping over. "Like what?"

Permalink

They laugh and applaud! "Like that!"

"Can you do that to other people?"

Permalink

"Mmhmm. I only get so many spells a day, though." He pauses to visibly consider - "pick one of you, and I'll let them fly for a bit."

Permalink

"It's my birthday!" chirps one; the others grumble.

Permalink

"Well, congratulations." He swoops closer, casts, and offers his hand.

Permalink

Handclasp!

Permalink

And suddenly 'up' is a direction they can go in, easy as thinking about it. "It'll last fifteen minutes; make sure you're within sixty feet of the ground when it ends. About the height of a tree."

Permalink

"Ooh -" She lifts into the air and tells her phone "Yo phone, fourteen minute timer!" and then starts spiraling up.

Permalink

He watches, for a second, and then looks back at the crowd. "Did any of you have any questions for me?"

Permalink

He's attracted more attention now, much of it from people who may not have seen the video. "How did you do that?"

"Who are you?"

"Is this for a movie?"

Permalink

...this has perhaps been a slight strategic error. Oh well. "Magic! I have a different kind than daeva do. I gave an interview about it earlier."

Permalink

"Are you some other kind of daeva -"

"Nah, this is fairy stuff, he's probably just a fairy."

"Fairies don't look that old."

"Where's the interview?"

Permalink

"The television one was with Brooklyn Windhouse, just a couple hours ago. There's a written one, too - I didn't catch the man's name, George something." He settles to the ground.

Permalink

"Windhouse? Is she on Handshake?"

"She used to be, she's with Screentour now."

"Oh, they did a good interview with Eagle Ray."

"Yeah but that wasn't her."

Permalink

"I'm Raafi, if that helps you find it."

Permalink

"How's it spelled?"

Permalink

"R-a-a-f-i."

Permalink

People start looking him up on their phones.

Permalink

He checks to see if the one who got the Fly spell is still in sight.

Permalink

She's gliding past office windows pulling faces at people.

Permalink

Heee. Good thing that's going well, at least.
