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.

[A pause. Since honestly, that's a hard question for Kaneis to answer considering he's never really BEEN free]

That...depends on your definition of freedom.

They're not making us fight or work for some cause, and sometimes there's planets and waystations to explore. Hell, most of the time we're left to our own devices.

But..it's not like we can just leave the fleet or anything.

[Fenris is actually a touch surprised that Merrill is using her head about this. Maybe she HAS finally learned a thing or two. He'd be marginally proud if he wasn't so fucking angry. Still, he'd actually been backing down until Cole decided to make a show of his magic. ]

Why should we take a chance? It will kill us regardless, if we leave it be. It will only be a matter of time.

[He is not relaxing, not even a little bit. He wants to go full lyrium ghost and see if he can tear this creature apart from the inside. He is certain the creature can't throw magic at something intangible.] This is not safe, Merrill.
wolfuncaged: ([Watch] You don't understand)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Fenris would recommend it if he was actually any good at it.]

Then it is not true freedom. It is more than what the Initiative offered us, though. You said there are planets?

[he likes that. :} ]

Oh, no?
wilder: (scribbles of frustration)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Does being free mean he has to leave corpses in his house because that's pretty gross.]

Yeah. Sometimes the fleet stops by a planet for a few weeks. Right now we're near some small one with a spa and... [He trails off and there's a beat until he admits reluctantly ] and an Enchanted Forest.
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Like a prison)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure does, because he CAN.]

I suppose that is better than being encased in metal the entire time. [Disgusted noise.] An enchanted forest. Really?
wilder: (so that's how it is.)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight shrug]

That's what the sign says.
heresyandlace: (above you)

[personal profile] heresyandlace 2015-01-15 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, hardly.

I have a feeling you're just sensitive.

[...and yeah no he's also just obnoxious.]
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-15 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh, Earth!

I have heard of that place.

[which is mostly all he heard out of everything Fenris just said.]

I didn't know it was so bad, though.
catamite: (show me the dead stars)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-15 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah.

[duh.]

[Cole can't help but narrow his eyes at Fenris. Crazy as he may be, he can tell his magic is bothering both of them, so he lets the energy ball dissipate and puts his hand back in his pocket. No need to rile them both up further.]

And I'm willing to give you whatever answers I have as long as both of you can stay civil.

[But he'll grin and laugh and act like the previous couple minutes didn't happen.]

I'm half-demon and half-human. My father was human and my mother's a demon. It's not too uncommon. Some of the more obvious looking demons will have children with humans so they can blend in better with the mortals and strike at witches so they're less likely to get caught.

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It's something she's earned...at least some of the time.]

Fine.

[Fenris knows she speaks sense, and with the ball dissipated, his glow lessens somewhat. He is still not happy, though, and will have nothing to do with speaking to the creature. He won't leave Merrill, either. She has her magic, yes, but demons and mages are not a good mix.

So unable to do much else, he paces around behind the the other elf like a caged animal, needing to get rid of this coiled, angry energy somehow. He listens, of course, but he says nothing. He doesn't care. This just screams of the games the Magisters play against one another and he
loathes it.]
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Bored of hearing Anders talk)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
What, exactly, is enchanted about it? [Because it could actually be a forest of UNIMAGINABLE TERRORS, or it could hold demons.]
wilder: (yeeeah stop talking Lloyd)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. It's not our fault. It's not like we can ask the fungi not to infect us.
wilder: (side stand)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not entirely sure. There's a message about how if you stray from the path, you'll be lost. So...that's ominous.
wilder: (booooored)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well...?
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Bored of hearing Anders talk)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I do not believe it was the Earth you are thinking of. This was something...darker. I have met others from Earth, it is...different.
wolfuncaged: ([Anger] Well you're just a dumbfuck)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-15 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[The most sensitive ever.]

Then we will have to agree to disagree.
