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.

Red what?

[if that was indeed at fault, there is no sign of recognition on the kid's face.]

[Hrmmm.]

It is a jagged, red rock. It glows. [And makes crazy shit happen.]

Like the stuff in arcana crap?

[oops... some unfortunate similarities right there.]
wolfuncaged: ([Gen] Don't know why I came)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, snap.]

Not...exactly. Those who dabble in the arcane would likely use it, but it is still a relatively new discovery.

[For which he is glad. Maker help him if Danarius had access to red lyrium while he was being branded. He'd probably be a drooling lunatic by now.]

All I know is this one time, this guy showed me something that he said is used when they make those arcana weapons, and it looked like that.
wolfuncaged: ([Brood] Appologising for douchebaggery)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-21 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. It could be something similar, I suppose.

...Do you think that's what's causing all of this?

Magic gets pretty crazy.

[as if this guy might not know this very important fact.]

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-01-22 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, no he would have zero clue about that.]

Magic is dangerous, and I would not be surprised if it were behind this madness.
