Video
[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...?

no subject
So if I keep alert and do not keep my hand on anything, then... perhaps this will not be so dire.
[He's obviously more concerned about the danger to others and their things than he is about benefitting from being able to transform anything to gold.]
