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.

Um, well... [yeah this is kind of beyond him to explain, but he's going to try anyway.]

Right before this, I was at this place that they just called the Court? But before that I was home... kind of. It was like home, but also... not.

And then before that is when I was actually home and everything was normal.

[--haaa, that makes him laugh, kind of caught off guard by the question alone.]

No. Not at all.

Everybody there was trying to become Queen or whatever, but we were divided up into 'masters' and 'servants,' and I was not a master.

[coming from a place where you get in big trouble if you claim to have ties to nature, he'd be an idiot to call himself anything else.]

Better than what?
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! No way. It's way too boring and quiet up here.

I miss the city a lot.

What's an alienage?

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-18 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, some parts of the city are much nicer than others...

--Oh! But my name is Nel. And it's very nice to meet you, Merrill.

It's been, like... forever since I've seen other elves around.

Heh... you sound like my mom.

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-21 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I've got socks on.

[more crickets chirp. these ones are in Nel's head, while he tries to figure out why she got quiet.]

...It helps...

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-21 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Nel is the best elf.]

...Do you... not like socks or something?
catamite: (use smaller words)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-21 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

...You really meant that? You don't wear socks or shoes? Like... at all??
