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.

[Varric looks one part intrigued and two parts disgusted.]

You know, can't say I have. Unless they put that in the stew at the Hanged Man. Which is totally possible.

I am... so sorry, Daisy. If it's any consolation, I haven't actually seen anything canned like that yet.
merchantprince: (♪ now we see things as in a mirror)

A few. Most of the food here-- I use the term lightly-- is in squares. I'm sure it's part of the charm of being in space or whatever.

[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.

It's not just a forest. You walk down a path and it seems like it's fine, but then... you start hearing things. And seeing things. You take one foot off the path, you get lost and end up at the start.

Nope. No way. Not doing that again.

Yeah, exactly. You can keep it allll to yourself. I'll be over here... not being in weird magical forests, thanks.

[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.
