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.

All right, I won't touch you.

Varric, you're here! Or are you here? Are you there? Where is there?
no subject
I'm on one of the smaller ships, Daisy. But it's good to see you, too.

no subject
Why haven't you seen me for two and a half years?! Have you been here for that long?
no subject
And no, I've been here two weeks or something. Not nearly that long.
no subject
Well, time travel is very fickle! Even when managed by humans, it isn't easily controlled. I suppose the same could be said for traveling realms, if this is any indication.
[ The FADE is easier to navigate thank you goodbye. ]
Fenris and I were in a place, a time, called Exsilium. It would be a very long story, but one I think you'll want to hear! Do we really have to wait to see the real you?
no subject
-- Yeah, I can't exactly drop everything and come visit. I'd love to, but... [He scratches the back of his head.] You have to wait a couple days until they kick you onto another ship. Then you'll have access to a shuttle.
The food is nasty, by the way. I've been hanging out on one of the stations.
no subject
Have you ever eaten snake-in-a-can, Varric?
no subject
You know, can't say I have. Unless they put that in the stew at the Hanged Man. Which is totally possible.
no subject

no subject
I can't remember! Perhaps Fenris remembers.
no subject
[She's so excited, though. He laughs a bit.] Slow down, Daisy. I haven't hunted any strange creatures, but there's definitely a forest on the planet below us right now. It's, uh, well. The hot springs are nice. Avoid the forest, though. It's a waste of time.
no subject
I am going to the forest. Will you go with me?
no subject
Nope. No way. Not doing that again.
no subject
[ But she understands why Varric wouldn't want to. Poor dwarf. ]
I promise to be careful. Have you been? Careful, I mean? What's happened since you've been here?
no subject
[A sigh. He knows the forest isn't dangerous, per se, but it's obnoxious and a waste of time regardless.]
Aww, Daisy, you don't have to worry about me. I went in that forest and came out just fine. Other than some bar-hopping, though, my little side-trip here has been pretty boring.
