Fifteenth Blight - video (closed)

[bryces_pup]

Who: Riona, the Blue Fish, and the DA cast (including Alistair as well, oops)
Broadcast: Yep
Action: On Blue Fish, if desired!
When: Earlier today, the 30th!



[Riona meant to broadcast this to just her crew and the other Thedosians, excepting one certain Alistair. However, she flubbed it. Unbeknownst to her, mind, so she carries on like she succeeded as the broadcast starts and she smiles at the camera.]

Since I know my darling husband isn't going to say anything: today is his birthday. Or, thereabouts. Please do wish him a happy one, if you see him. He didn't get it enough in his life and I'm bound and determined to make up for it. That said, as much as I'd love to throw him a party and really heap on the attention, I know it would be more than he'd like. So no, no party I'm afraid. I wonder if I can get him a nice cake... Anyway, thank you everyone.

[reluctantbastard]

I admire your restraint, my dear.

[Although, by the blush on his face, it's obvious that he was hoping that this day would pass without any sort of attention being brought to it.]

At least there isn't some secret party I should be wary of.

[bryces_pup]

[Riona starts a bit at Alistair's reply. Wait, how did he see this? She checks her recipients again-

...crap. Well, he'd probably have found out anyway.]

Ahhh... you weren't supposed to see this. Oh dear. [She chuckles faintly.]

[reluctantbastard]

[Nicely done, considering she's supposed to be the one with more experience. Oh well, these things happen.]

Keeping secrets are we? How very surprising, Riona. And about my birthday, no less. Now I'm not so sure that there isn't some party in the works.

[bryces_pup]

[That's what she gets for not double checking.]

Oh stop it, you. [She scrunches her nose playfully at him.] I promised you I wouldn't throw a party, and I don't break my promises.

[Arms crossed over here, eyebrow raised.]

Wait. I thought the King of Ferelden was a fun guy.

[bryces_pup]

He is. When he's not the center of attention.

[reluctantbastard]

[He chuckles at her reaction. How could he not love her, okay? She's fucking amazing.]

Well, I mean, if you want to get me a bunch of gifts, I guess I won't say no? I rather liked the first gift you gave me, if we're perfectly honest.

[bryces_pup]

Oh, I already did, don't you worry. [Because of course she did. She's the queen of giving gifts.] Mmm, yes. I'm glad, as I wasn't entirely sure how much you'd like it.

[theirondragon]

[He chuckles.]

Doesn't that sort of make being the king hard?

[samahl]

I wonder what a King would even need for his birthday? Other than well wishes, of course. I'll be happy to do that.

[reluctantbastard]

Why am I not surprised? [They're the gift couple. That's all there is to it.] Well, I'm still not sure how you knew what to give me, but I appreciated the little Warden puppet.

[bryces_pup]

Because you know me so well? Besides, it wouldn't be me if I didn't have gifts all planned out, though I do love finding one unexpectedly. [The thrill of the hunt and all. The gift finding hunt, that is.] It was just so cute, I couldn't resist. Though I was worried you'd be insulted I gave you a toy.

[bryces_pup]

Unfortunately yes. He grins and bears it as needed.

[bryces_pup]

And just those would be more than enough. He's probably going to give me a bit of a look for announcing this as is.

[samahl]

You know, I doubt it will be too much of a fuss. He seems utterly head over heels and likely to forgive you a minor inconvenience.

[reluctantbastard]

The best ones are generally the ones you stumble across.

[He just goes with a vague idea and hopes that things jump out at him. The rose was a bit of a fluke, he knows.]

I'm more insulted that you gave Morrigan a doll that looks like me....

[theirondragon]

[ He chuckles, smiling at the feed. ]

Well, you probably make that a little easier.

[bryces_pup]

It's true, he's far too forgiving. Fortunately I am not so cruel as to take advantage of it. Well, almost never.

[bryces_pup]

Indeed. It's all the more thrilling because you weren't looking for it.

[Damn, she hoped he had forgotten about that...]

Better for her to torment it than you, no?

[bryces_pup]

I do try. Sometimes I talk him through it, sometimes I make a joke. Occasionally, if I can get away with it, I flash my breasts a bit. Give him something else to think about, you know? [She grins.]

[reluctantbastard]

[Yeah, NO!]

Except when she set it on fire, the campfire actually jumped out and me and tried to turn my bedroll into ash! So, no, not better. You couldn't have given her some sort of dead bird? A voodoo doll of her mother? Anything else?

[theirondragon]

[ This is why he likes you, Riona. You're badass in so many ways. ]

Tits will always get you somewhere. And you? You've got some nice tits. I don't blame him.

[samahl]

You're made of stronger stuff than I. I think I would have him rub my back every day.

[bryces_pup]

[She grins and shrugs sheepishly.]

Sorry, love. I didn't think it was an ACTUAL magic doll. Or maybe it wasn't and she made it into one? At least she didn't abuse it tooooo badly?

[bryces_pup]

[She tries her best. Sometimes it's with her sword, sometimes with her words. Sometimes it's with her tits.]

Why thank you. Consider me sufficiently flattered. They serve their purpose pretty well.

[bryces_pup]

Who says he doesn't already?

[theirondragon]

[ He laughs. ] Yeah, I bet they do.

[reluctantbastard]

[It's a good thing that he is very much in love with her. Otherwise, that would be a deal breaker.]

Yes, well, there was the added benefit that once she burned it, that she wasn't able to make me do foolish things anymore. I don't need her help for that, you know.

[samahl]

Ah. I think that might be the best way to use a husband.

Well, that and at least one other thing.

[bryces_pup]

No one does. But you know Morrigan wouldn't have made you do anything - or made anything happen - that was too serious. If nothing else, she knew I would have come down on her something fierce if she had. [Riona usually kept herself out of Morrigan and Alistair's spats (save for one exception), but that would have absolutely spurred her intervention, and it wouldn't have been pretty.]

[bryces_pup]

So far I've heard no complaints from the appropriate parties. And I suspect I won't.

[bryces_pup]

At least. He's good for quite a few things as a husband. Companionship, support, reaching tall places... and you know. [Innocent smiiiiile]

[reluctantbastard]

I'm not so certain. You are fierce, my love, but I suppose once you call her a sneaky witch thief, you're branded forever as a stupid fool.

[bryces_pup]

Well, it was an insult and you know how she is. But Morrigan and I had an... understanding. She toed the line often, but she didn't go too far, save the one time.

[And boy did Ri let her have it then.]

[theirondragon]

No one's complaining over here, either, your badassness.

[reluctantbastard]

Right, and yet....

[He doesn't want to go there. Not even in jest. That's a dark, scary place and he doesn't want to talk about it.

Ever.

E V E R.]

Well, she's always sort of respected you anyway, so I suppose it makes sense that she wouldn't want to anger you. Me, not so much, but that's fine.

[He thinks she's a super bitch and is glad that she disappeared after the Archdemon's death. Less he has to explain to everyone else, honestly.]

[bryces_pup]

[Yes, let's not go there. It's not one of Riona's better moments, admittedly.]

I know. She's not always the kindest person. Though Leliana told me that the years have softened her somewhat. Her edges aren't so rough anymore. [Motherhood could do that to a person.]

[bryces_pup]

[Oh that title gets a good laugh out of her.]

"Your Badassness"? Oooh I think I like that one. Maybe if I ever get back to Denerim I'll have them instate that as my title from now on.

[theirondragon]

[ He laughs. ]

I really like the way you think.

[reluctantbastard]

[The things he does for love and being able to live beyond the Blight.]

Yes, well, if her mother is any sort of indication, softer doesn't always mean better. I'll take my chances with the Bannorn.

Now, back to better subjects.... Should I be wary of mountains of gifts?

[bryces_pup]

[Oh hush. He was never in any danger from her wrath.]

By all appearances, she seemed intent on doing the exact opposite of what Flemeth did in raising her. [Or so Leliana said anyway. Riona's inclined to believe her.]

Maaaaaaaybe. You'll have to just wait and see, won't you?

[samahl]

He also makes very lovely eye candy.
