3rd Blight - video and open log

Who: Riona (who is not at ALL drunk, no sir) and you
Broadcast: yes
Action: In Varric’s bar
When: Forward dated to the night of May 1st

Video

[The camera wobbles as it turns on. There’s a moment of it spinning around before it’s set down with a hard “clunk!” There’s a snort before a shadow looms over the camera. It faces an empty chair at a table in what some may recognize as Varric’s bar. But the seat is shortly filled by Riona, who leans on her elbows and smiles lopsidedly at the camera.

Yep, someone’s drunk and has made the poor decision to make a public broadcast.]


I think I’ve reached the point where bad decisions start looking like good ones. Or maybe it’s more that I’m past the point of caring, though I’m sure I’ll be thoroughly kicking myself in the morning as I fight off the egregious hangover I’m sure to have.

[Consider that your only warning, Blue Fish.]

What a lovely party that was the other night. The sort of event that’s supposed to let you forget about your troubles and be merry for awhile. And maybe, just maybe, let you believe for a little while that you’re not a terrible person.

[Her smiles turns a shade derisive as she takes a drink from whatever concoction she has in that tankard.]

Or is that just me? It probably is. Which I suppose leads to the point of this little broadcast. [She throws her arms out, almost knocking her drink over in the process.] Surprise! I’m a shitty person. Selfish and terrible. Oh sure, I start out with good intentions, I mean well, but ultimately I end up making shitty decisions because of them. I push and I shove and then people get hurt and I tell myself I did it because it was for the best. I “make up for it” and try to ease things and I say that over and over again in my head when I go to sleep.

[She snorts, leaning on her arms on the table again as she looks away.]

Keep that in mind next time you deal with me. You’ll all be better off.

Should any of you still feel inclined to talk to me, I’ll be here in Varric’s fine establishment, trying to drown my problems for likely the rest of the night. Feel free to come in and have a drink on my selfish ass. I probably owe all of you at least one, if not more.

[Before she picks up her drink, she mutters:] Oh Oghren, you’d be so proud. [And as she takes another long gulp, she shuts off the camera.]


Action

[The Queen of the Self-Loathing Party can be found, as said, at Varric’s bar. She’s got her own table and she’s already knocked back Maker-knows how many drinks. Oddly enough, her sword is in tow, though it’s currently propped up against the table leg. Perhaps at some point, she meant to spar and beat out her feelings. Clearly, either that didn’t work or she didn’t bother and wound up here instead.

She’s definitely pretty damn drunk. If the broadcast didn’t make that clear, then the way she at points will burst out laughing for no reason might hint at it. Or maybe how she’s half slumped over the table, trying to play games on her communicator and cursing loudly as she fails at it (which is pretty much the case for every attempt).

If she sees someone she recognizes, she’ll raise her glass and sloppily beckon them to come over.]

Come, have a drink! It’s no fun doing it alone!

And that's what makes you a terrible person?

[He shifts closer, squinting at her for a second, before leaning back again. ]

Nope. I don't see a single thread of terrible person in there. And I know these things. I'm Sokka the Wise. That is an official title.

[He shrugs. ]

So, you hurt people you love, who hasn't? It always happens eventually, you can't protect everyone forever. But the fact you're here feeling like crap about it and drinking yourself into a hangover I know you're gonna regret in the morning means you're not doing it maliciously.

[He taps the top of the bar. ]

And therin lies the difference.

[He will still stand by what he thinks. COME AT HIM RIONA. ]

I don't think you will. You seem to think you're a terrible person. But trust me when I tell you you aren't. Not even close.
alwayscomeback: DNS (I'm not that naive)

Okay, but I should remind you that unless you can top the whole throwing my girlfriend into a boiling hot water volcano prison you're not even gonna get close to making me upset, so.

[Riona he spends a lot of time with Zuko, that does nothing. Nothing. ]

Well, I'd like to be the judge of that myself, rather than taking your word for it. If it's all the same as you.

It's okay, I don't listen to nintey per cent of the warnings I'm given so nothing will change there.

[NOPE. SHAN'T. ]
