Communication Tower Shenanigans

[namisan]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: Not...yet. Working on that part??
Action: The Comms Tower
When: In the day or two after that zuper zecret broadcazt.

[A mingle for any and all people on the ground making their way toward the comms tower, and all science and tech wizardry that happens thereafter.  For any who can't follow coordinates on land, a light rain will spring up around the tower's general area after the first handful of hours has gone past, as per this broadcast here.]

They picked the wrong people to shoot down. Maker willing, we'll make them pay for it.

[Revenge is a dish best served piping hot with a sword shoved into the gut.]

As sad as it is to say, it'll help here. I feel for those stuck in this place who aren't used to situations like this.

[alwayscomeback]

Of course we will. Nobody picks a fight with Team Blue Fish.

[NOBODY!!!]

No, and those are the people I'm worried about. So many people just have relatively calm lives. I don;t even know how many know how to defend themselves if they're attacked.

[bryces_pup]

And lives to tell the tale, at any rate.

[Yay murder!]

I don't either. A few people have suggested combat lessons, or at least self-defense. I should have taken their suggestions and done something. Now we can only hope those people are with battle-hardened folk like ourselves.

[alwayscomeback]

YEAH!

[They do what needs to be done! ]

Hey, no need for those could haves and should haves, okay? I'f I'm not allowed to pull that, then you aren't either. It's something for us to learn from- set up when all this is over.

[bryces_pup]

I know, I know. But that doesn't help the people who are defenseless now. Hopefully there aren't too many more ships who went down, too. [Ships who had far better pilots that could get their crew out of danger.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Woman he will ground you. Just because you're older than him doesn't mean he won't do it!!! ]

We can but hope. But hey, we should find some here, right? And any that don't- once communications are set up again, we should be able to reach out to any who need help.

[bryces_pup]

[LISTEN HERE MISTER. She hasn't been grounded in like. Fifteen years. Don't break her streak.]

The sooner the better. I wonder how they're even being blocked to start with. How is that even possible?

[alwayscomeback]

[Then she'd better BEHAVE then B| ]

I imagine Atroma...or maybe whoever attacked us are sending out a blocking signal- something that overrides everything else. That would explain the horrible screeching sounds when you try to use them. It's basically like interrupting a conversation between two people by standing beside them and screaming really loudly.

[bryces_pup]

[EXCUSE??]

Oh. So it's like Isolde, but less Orlesian and considerably more effective. Got it.

[Ahahaha the burn. Too bad that bitch is far away and unable to overhear it.]

[alwayscomeback]

[HE'S NOT TAKING IT BACK. ]

If that means the same kind of thing but in Thedas, then yeah, sure?

[He is so sorry he can't appreciate the burn. ]

[bryces_pup]

[FINE YOU LITTLE SHIT. BE THAT WAY.]

Someone that I, unfortunately, know from Thedas. She's loud, obnoxious, stupid, Orlesian, and likes to butt into conversations to make herself look important. So she'd make a great blocking mechanism.

[alwayscomeback]

[HE WILL!!! ]

Ohhhhh, one of those people. Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't like her all that much. Who needs that much obnoxious in their lives, right?

[bryces_pup]

[>8|]

No one. Unfortunately, I was stuck with her for years. Being free of her is the only good thing there was about leaving Denerim. Of course, if I succeed and manage to go home, she'll be there, putting an Orlesian damper on the whole thing. [Her lip curls at the thought.] Forgive my language, but she's a bloody cunt.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, ew. That sucks. Can't you just...I don't know, fire her? You're queen right? You can totally do that. Just tell her she displeases the royal household and kick her out.

[He gives a nod.]

Yeah you know, people like deserve that kinda language.

[bryces_pup]

I sincerely, honestly wish I could. Problem is, she's the wife of Eamon Guerrin. He's Alistair's closest advisor, and the closest thing he has to an uncle. Well, along with Eamon's brother. Anyway, I can't toss her out without tossing him out, and that's never going to happen.

[It really grates her. So. Damn. Much.]

[alwayscomeback]

Oh wow. That... that really sucks. So to keep that Eamon guy, you have to put up with his awful wife?

...Maybe you could send her away and make it look like a nice thing? Like pretend she has an important diplomatic quest somewhere far, far away.

[bryces_pup]

Ha, if only. But she's an idiot, so I wouldn't trust her to carry my tea tray up the stairs, let alone handle anything diplomatic. And Eamon wouldn't allow it, frankly. [Eye roll.] Wouldn't want his precious wife to do anything too taxing.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, wow. So basically she gets to swan about and be all snippy without having any actual responsibilities? Gross.

[bryces_pup]

More or less. Really, the same could be said for a lot of the nobility. She learned to keep her distance from me, so I didn't have to deal with her as much as I once did.

[alwayscomeback]

Hey, at least she learned that much. Some people can end up being super oblivious and just carry on regardless. You haven't had to punch her, right? That would be a plus!

[bryces_pup]

No, but Maker knows I've wanted to.

[If it wouldn't have caused a huge scandal, pissed off Eamon and potentially strain things between her and Alistair, she would have.]

[alwayscomeback]

I can understand that, but the fact you haven't is a big plus point. You can absolutely say you took the higher road, there.
