[The video opens on a man's bearded face frowning and obviously touching the screen. He mutters to himself at first.]

Is it... working? Just.. that... Ah!

[He pokes it one last time with his right hand then leans back, now just staring at the screen for a while.]

Hello? Is this... Can this be heard? They said I could be heard and seen through this small contraption. Is there anybody ...?

[He pauses, a little wide-eyed and takes a breath, muttering again.]

Ridiculous, truly... I... Maybe....

[Another pause and he side-eyes the device.]

On the off-chance that this is working as I was told...

Hello. My name is John Morris.

I do hope that I am not merely speaking to myself and the very vacant air around me like a fool... but I am told this will reach all the people that also have this ... rather magical communication box.

I have need of some assistance. You see... my hand...

[He raises up his left hand.]

I cannot let it touch anything or else something very strange happens. Like so...

[A glance around and he picks up a spoon. The silver utensil begins to visibly change to gold as he holds it in view. He lets the spoon fall again, looking distressed.]

I do not know what to do about this!

[He leans in again, poking at the screen.]

Do I... Hello? How does one hear a reply...?

What would you suggest that I do?

Re: Video

[perfectlyhuman]

Can’t you just wear gloves?

The material would touch my hand and therefore it would also turn to solid gold - and then how would I remove it?

Re: Video

[perfectlyhuman]

Hmmm...

[ The man does have a point. So the boy thinks.]

How about something already made of gold?

Or metal. That way it just turns into gold but you can still use it.

[ambasciatore]

I mean. That's exactly what Midas did so-- maybe?

Be careful if you're not sure.

[notyuvan]

This is really different from how I learned to use the Void but we can try partially changing things and seeing if they change back like your clothes did? Maybe wearing a glove could interrupt it with just the glove changing?

[john_morris]

Do you know where I can find him?

[helpdesk_hero]

He's with Aegis Force. He's not too hard to find I think.

[john_morris]

Is that the name of his forge?

[john_morris]

I do not intend to do that.

You are saying you are a devil?

[john_morris]

Many are. Well, most all are and yes, I am certain many would not wish to admit to their own faults. Perhaps they do not even see them.

It is a rare wisdom to completely know oneself.

[john_morris]

I will surely be careful, yes, yes.

[john_morris]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr Kent.

It could work. Another did suggest a gauntlet or a leaden glove.

[john_morris]

Do you have these items so I can attempt your suggestions?

[He's willing to try.]

[ambasciatore]

You should probably take some time to figure out this ability. Maybe find a safe place to practice and learn it.

Did you read the welcome information you were given?

[john_morris]

I did but it was very... confusing. It seemed like some bizarre dream.

[So he didn't take it all in, or understand it all.]

[madlove]

Are you a shrink?

[john_morris]

What is a... shrink?

[Not a term he's familiar with.]

[madlove]

[ Oh, she could just eat him up. Adorable. Although something's just occurred to her. ]

Hey. What year do you think is?

[callmesuperboy]

Nice to meet you too, Mister Morris.

[helpdesk_hero]

No. That's the team he works with. Heroes have teams here.

[devilishly_handsome]

No. I'm saying I'm part devil. I'm mostly human.

[john_morris]

I have been told this is the future.

The year I last knew was 1851.

[So there are many, many everyday things or commonly known words that are very new or haven't even been invented yet. He's not a naive man and is very well educated and up to date in his own time but of course so much is strange and futuristic to him here.]
