Who: Allumette Honeycutt
Broadcast: video (to all)
Action: Marsiva
When: nnnnnow!

[ when the feed flickers on, it's focused on a tiny pink-haired woman. the camera is above, obviously not in her grip, dressed in scholar garb. she stomps her foot on the ground and points to the communicator. ]

--Eos!

Put that down this minute! You've not a clue where that's been!

[ there's a quiet twinkling, like the sound of bells--and she looks offended. ]

We are in an unfamiliar world, with unfamiliar--things! Do not make me unsummon you!

[ is that twinkling panicked? ]

Then put it down! Eos, now.

[ slowly, the point of view is lowered until it drops into allumette's claws, and she breathes a sigh of relief. she peers off-screen until a tiny fairy joins her, settling on her shoulder. she pays no mind to her fairy, however, squinting and staring at it. ]

Oh, Thal's balls--it's on.

...I do not say thy. [What does he look like some inbred hick from the wilds?]

It is a big Fleet, growing by the day, there is a chance you will find him, perhaps, eventually.

[aheroipray]

That's what I said, isn't it?

[ :| ]

Perhaps. [ she sighs and then straightens her shoulders. ] Fenris, then. I am Lieutenant Allumette Honeycutt. I prefer Allumette, but will answer to Honeycutt if you'd prefer.

[wolfuncaged]

You are soldier, then?

[aheroipray]

Mm, I am. And yourself?

[wolfuncaged]

No rank. I have been a mercenary for some time.

[When Hawke isn't dragging him off on crazy-ass adventures, anyway.]

[aheroipray]

What sort of skill?

[wolfuncaged]

[A pause.]

I am not sure what you are asking. I am a warrior?

[aheroipray]

Do you have mastery over a certain art--swordplay, pugilism... dark magic, perhaps?

[wolfuncaged]

[His entire demeanour changes, because that's pretty much the worst thing should could have said to him other than "ha ha, slavery is awesome". He goes from confusion to anger in three seconds flat.]

No. I do not have anything to do with magic. It is a plague and I will have no part in it.

[aheroipray]

[ eyebrows... raise. okay, touchy subject, echo doesn't work over internet connections so she supposes she'll just. not touch that subject again. ]

I see. So, another sort of warrior, then.

[wolfuncaged]

[Stay clear of it like it's an active landmine.]

I specialize in two handed weapons.

[aheroipray]

[ yeahhh she'll do that. you know unless he's dying probably. then she'll heal him. ]

Ah, like spears and swords? [ don't mention staffs or rods, those're magical and could cause a reaction... ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He will bitch about it but allow it, because he is a giant hypocrite.]

More greatswords, mauls, greatxes. Large, heavy weapons. [That are always bigger and heavier than he is.]

[aheroipray]

[ are you compensating for something, fenris?

she's trying to keep a straight face. ]

That sounds taxing. I prefer a quick fighting style, so I can't emphasize.

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris doesn't react to it. ]

I can move fast enough, you just need to have the power to lift them.

[aheroipray]

Our worlds' styles differ, then.

[wolfuncaged]

That much is already clearly evident.

[Why you got to be like this, Fenris?]

[aheroipray]

I honestly didn't know there were so many ways to swing an axe.

[ allu, no ]

[wolfuncaged]

You are clearly no warrior.

[aheroipray]

Of course I'm not a warrior, as I just said that I didn't know there were so many ways to swing an axe. I'm a monk.

[wolfuncaged]

...What is a monk?

goddamnit misclick

[aheroipray]

[ ... well, different worlds. alright, calm. ]

Someone specializing in hand-to-hand combat. I fight with my fists and feet.

[wolfuncaged]

Ah, we tend not to gave that, except for perhaps a few assassins, and they tend to be rogues. [Squishy, squishy rogues.]

[aheroipray]

Rogues are a different manner of fighter where I come from--ninjas. Who are essentially assassins.

[wolfuncaged]

I will never cease to be amazed at how different and yet how similar all these other worlds are.
