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.

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.
no subject
Then it is not true freedom. It is more than what the Initiative offered us, though. You said there are planets?
no subject
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.
no subject
I suppose that is better than being encased in metal the entire time. [Disgusted noise.] An enchanted forest. Really?
no subject
That's what the sign says.

[Fenris: The master of the backhanded compliment.]

Oh yeah. Undead bad. My finest epiphany.

[He might be a tiny bit bitter about being shlucked through all those burial sites and caves crawling with them. THANKS HAWKE.]
no subject
Well, sure. The bones for those hordes of skeleton warriors have to come from somewhere, right?
[He...may be joking about this. It's hard to tell.]
no subject
Usually with some locket that someone else will require around their necks.
[He sure isn't. Fuck being an RPG character.]
no subject
[Which honestly is pretty fricking weird to Kaneis. His cruxis crystal doesn't have a name and that thing is fricking attached to his SOUL]
no subject
[He's got an amulet Hawke gave him from their stupid Wyvern hunt. It's got a dumb name, too, but Fenris never calls it by it. It's just an amulet, nothing more.]
no subject
Anyway, I haven't heard of any skeleton or undead armies in this forest, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be something like that either.
