one ; he's a transponster!

Who: Merrill & Fenris
Broadcast: {video} Fleet-Wide
Action: Anywhere on the Marsiva (they may split up we'll see).
When: January 14th

{VIDEO} ;

[ The video switches on to reveal— well okay it's an arm, covered in leather, chainmail and white fur, but only because the communicator's taking a moment to get pulled back, and only because there's more than one person trying to use it.

Or more than one elf, with pointed ears and both faces intricately covered in tattoos as the biggest clue. Merrill's markings are as dark as her short, braided hair and Fenris's are as light as his (there might even be a glow). Contrarily, perhaps, she looks much more cheerful in her greeting, but there is still a level of heightened stress to her tone. ]


Yes, hello! It seems we landed in the wrong time. World, actually! Now you promised, since the war's over. Can we speak to somebody in the Initiative? Where are our— Um—

[Merrill doesn't get to finish her sentence, as Fenris wrests control of the communicator from her. He looks decidedly less friendly, in fact, he looks just about ready to punch someone in the face. Hard.]

Our weapons. They are missing. [He jabs an annoyed thumb in Merrill's direction, whose irritated sigh can be heard off-camera.] I understand she likely disrupted the transporter. Just open up another one and send us back to Kirkwall. Now. I have no intention of staying on your blighted moon again. [A pause, a disdainful look around.] Or wherever this is...

[Actually, this looks distinctly non-Initiative. And it's definitely not United Earth, either, he remembers their holding pens, and this is not them. Where the heck ARE they? He doesn't have long to ponder or even let someone answer before there's another sound from Merrill off-camera; a gasp.]

There's something on you! Hold still.

What? What is- NO! Don't you touch me. [He may tolerate you existing in his life now, Merrill, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to touch him with your magey hands. He turns around a couple of times, trying to find...whatever it is on him, his hands tapping around his back until...oh he has a thing on his neck. WHY DOES HE HAVE A THING ON HIS NECK??

His fingers close on it, and he tries to yank it off. If you ever wondered what would happen if you tried to take your Augment off, wonder no more. Fenris gives a pained, frightened yelp, then curls into a horrible, shuddering ball on the floor, muttering horribly in Tevene. He's somewhere in the horrible recesses of his own broken mind right now, don't mind him.

Off-camera: ]


All right, I won't touch you.

[His eyes remain on the demon, tense and ready to spring into action in a moment. When he speaks, it's directed at Merrill, though he doesn't turn his head at all. He's watching you, monster.]

You are not seriously trying to talk with the demon? If it possesses you, you know I will not hesitate.
wolfuncaged: ([Anger] Well you're just a dumbfuck)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Memories are important. [Even crappy, unpleasant ones.]

Wonderful. So what do these people want with us? Another war?
wolfuncaged: ([Brood] Appologising for douchebaggery)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not need help. [Waving his hand dismissively at the screen.] Do not concern yourself. I have suffered worse.
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Like a prison)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I will live. [Turns out once you have, y'know, lyrium burned into your skin, everything else is pretty mild by comparison.]

Oh! Well, I have heard of it, actually. You're not the only one coming from that place-- though the rest of us are from elsewhere.

[oh! he reflexively returns the smile, sort of compulsively mirroring the expression.]

Oh, yeah... it does get really confusing here.
catamite: (use smaller words)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-14 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but...

[eh, he fidgets and kind of shuts up. speaking over someone more assertive is not exactly his greatest skill. so he switches gears.]

Where are you guys from? You just showed up, right?
heresyandlace: (merciful king)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2015-01-14 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[good idea. but... gosh, there are a lot of video screens on this ship, aren't there? isn't that convenient?]

Yes, get some of that rage out... but don't break too many of the machines while you're at it. It would be a shame to be stuck in a cell without a way to communicate with the outside world.

Eventually, you'll tired out and be patient enough to talk and find answers.

Yeah, I wasn't planning to. [ at least nto until she saw someone else successfully get it off ] Besides, that thing contains some pretty important information.

Many have come from some castle that I cannot recall the name of. That seems to be a common theme.

As well as a clockwork tower, and a place known simply as the Court.

All places that have stolen souls from their original homes, as far as I can gather.

[Fenris never really cared much for his communicator back in Exsilium. He sighs and looks around, oh there it is, on the ground. He picks it up, turning it this way and that.]

I will never understand the importance of these things.

Is that where your home is? Did you just come from there?
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Like a prison)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ugh, he is STILL talking.]

I will find my own answers.

[Wow, Fenris, you succeeded in making Cole look both insulted and disgusted. He was possessed once and would not wish that on his worst enemies.]

He is right here and can hear you and why in the world would I possess her? I'm not a possessor demon or anything else that's capable of it.

[He'll just sigh and shake his head because idiot.]

Not just those. They have cameras all over the place to watch us so they don't miss a single second. So destroying the communicators won't do us any good and it's not worth the effort.
ino: (Confidence.)

If you say so. [ ah, the usual broody type response ]

If you find the pain comes back or is debilitating, let me know, and I'll see if I can't get you hooked up with a healer or a doctor.
wolfuncaged: ([Lyrium] I can't escape this hell)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's a warrior. They solve all problems by being violent at them until they stop being problems. He still doesn't flinch from his stance.]

That is what demons do. They possess mages like her, [a jerk of his head to the elf behind him] who are too weak to resit them.

[Maker, he wishes he had his sword. Demons don't exactly have organs he can crush.]

There. You have spoken to one another. Now go back to the Fade where you belong. You will find no prey here.

[Whatever joy or relief he's feeling at seeing Fenris and Merrill alive and well disappears when one of them just fucking falls over. That looks bad. Fenris doesn't show pain a lot, he's the cool stoic broody type, so this-- this is bad.

Varric knocks over a chair in his mad dash to get closer to the screen.]


Shit, shit! Daisy, what's going on? Is he bleeding out?

[God damn it YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN HERE LIKE TEN SECONDS AND YOU'RE ALREADY TRYING TO KILL YOURSELVES.]
wolfuncaged: ([Brood] Ran for so long)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fenris notices, but makes no comment of it, not yet. He has a mental checklist, for people who were like him, if they meet all of the criteria, well, then his concern is theirs. Right now, Nel has checked the first box.]

That is a...difficult question. We are originally from Thedas, but we have been serving a rebel force called the Initiative for some nine months.
wolfuncaged: ([Brood] There are no puppy eyes)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-14 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ICILY.] I do not need to see any healer.

[Anders had a hard enough time patching him up, okay. And Fenris only tolerated that because Hawke made him.]
