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.

[WELL, IF YOU SAY SO MERRILL...he's not about to offer that crazy medical treatment anyway. So he'll just side eye in the direction of Fenris on screen before looking at Merrill]

Heh- whoa. One question at a time, Merrill.

[Since wow that's a lot. He pushes a lock of hair behind his ear]

Anyway, as far as I know- this whole thing? Isn't the Initiative's doing. It's some guys called Atroma this time.
wilder: (so that's how it is.)

Well, you were probably unconscious when they used...whatever tech they use. I don't really know all that much about how they do things- they don't show themselves much.
wilder: (you can't take the sky from me)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-14 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, sorry.

I'm on another ship- the SS Wonderduck. Right now you're on the Marsiva, their mothership or whatever. You'll get assigned to another ship in a few days.
wilder: (You don't have a head injury do you?)

Somewhere far enough away to be on none of my star charts, I can say that.

Thing is, we're in a fleet of spaceships. It travels from solar system to solar system.
wilder: (Sarcam - dude whatever)

[He gives a little chuckle; wow girl your priorities]

You know, you could try wearing shoes. Or even socks!

Sometimes we visit planets, and waystations. Right now we're at this one planet with a forest and a spa. You can check it out once you get assigned to a ship.
wilder: (secondhand embarrasement)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-14 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait- why not? Is that some elf thing or just- a Merrill thing?

[But at leas they're cute boots!]

Sorry, I'm afraid you're stuck for now. But don't worry, it should only be a couple days.
wilder: (I'm just a weak lazy bum)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-14 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh. [Strange. But he shrugs] Well, I don't know about everyone, but I don't have athlete's foot- so that helps!

Afraid I don't know. I haven't found any of our weapons, nor have I been on that ship. I was among the first group brought here, so I just woke up on my ship.
wilder: (hey that's great)

Video

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay. That? Gets a snicker and some slight teasing] Why thanks for noticing, my dear~

But I mean Athlete's Foot. It's a type of infection. Looks and smells disgusting.
wilder: (you can't take the sky from me)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, not quite actually. You catch it from being barefoot where the fungi grows. Wearing shoes after you catch it can make it worse though.
wilder: (yeeeah stop talking Lloyd)

Video

[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: (colette work with me here)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
...Merrill, sweetie.

No.
wilder: (oh yeah...excuses)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-01-15 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[In the same tone, except exaggerated in a comedic way.] Elves.

[And then back to his regular tone]

I'm sure I'll be able to hold back the tears, don't worry. [A beat] But you know, I wonder if my magic works on fungi.
