Who: The Iron Bull and EVERYBODY
Broadcast: Hell yes!
Action: If you want to happen upon him at space bar, which is where he's making this broadcast, you know what? Go right ahead!
When: Mid-Day; Today like earlier today :)

[Those who tune in to the network right about now are greated by the Bull's smiling face. It's his customer service face, but nobody besides Cyril and Leilani have ever hired his guy around here, so they're probably the only ones who realize that. He's got a full mug of ale sitting beside him and...a...notebook?]

Hey, everybody, and...uh, you guys at home too, I guess. [He clears his throat.] Okay, so we all know that we're being recorded to entertain people, right? And we all agree the Atroma are dicks, but did you know the people who watch us can send us letters? There's this how little kiosk thing here on the Iskaulit, and some people sent me some stuff.

[He rolls his shoulders in a shrug.] I mean, it's creepy, shit yeah, it's creepy, but it's sort of better, seeing people say stuff about what they're seeing on this...uh, show thing. They're real people, you know, and uh...a lot like fans of other stuff. Anyway, I was gonna respond to some stuff, maybe make them feel like we care too, you know? I don't know, it sounded good in my head, anyway.

[He picks up the notebook and clears this throat before reading this first one. Bull's not usually a man who knows shame, and he's not exactly bashful about this one, it just makes him a little uncomfortable.]

Okay, so, this first one's from a fan who actually used her name. So, Xorkla wrote in, "Mister The Iron Bull," [He looks toward the comm for a second with a grin.] Thanks, Xorkla. A lot of people miss the article on the front. I appreciate it. [And he returns to the letter, that grin turning slightly awkward as he continues.] "Xorkla would love to run her...mandibles...over your impressive horns..." [And then he trails off before looking back up.] You know, Xorkla, it, uh...sounds like our anatomy probably isn't compatible, but thanks.

[And he promptly turns the page in his notebook. Reeeeally should have paid more attention to the letters...]

Okay, so this next one is from somebody who decided to remain anonymous, but that's cool. So, anonymous wrote, "You should definitely time more people up, I'm just saying. I've never seen knots like that before." [He chuckles smugly before continuing.] "Maybe you and Dorian should give us a live demonstration." See, that's not up to me. [And he leans in closer, his voice lower, almost conspiratorial.] I might be able to show you guys a thing or two about knots at some point, though. The key is pressure points, and finding that cusp between pain and pleasure, but that's another episode.

[He leans back, turning another page in his notebook while he takes a healthy pull from his mug.] Alright, so, if that one didn't get me in trouble, I know this one will. [He reads the letter, frowns, and puts the notebook aside.] I'm not gonna ready it, because I don't want him to hate me, I'm just gonna put it this way: Kramm's a great a guy, okay, but we're friends who worked some kinks out together. Kirk, too. Dorian's...different, and...I can't really say how. It...just is. More maybe? [He shrugs.] I don't know. I've never really done anything like this before, but...and I know you know who you are, Anonymous. You're wrong, okay?

[He pushes the notebook aside, finishes his beer and waves someone over for another before taking a breath.] So, that's it. If you want more, write more in, I guess. [And he makes a wave at the camera.] Talk to you later.

(OOC: Thanks to everybody who sent some fanmail his way!)

[Cyril starts out pretty amused about this. Even the bit about mandibles is pretty funny.

Then he starts talking about Dorian and there's a moment of him feeling utterly distracted about the idea of Bull and Dorian together before he can really focus on the words.

'It's different' he says, and Cyril feels as if he can relate to that sentiment on more than a few levels. The idea that Bull speaks about Dorian like this makes him feel an odd mixture of pain and pleasure in his chest that he can't really sort out. It takes a while to reply to this because of that, and he stays on voice because he's pretty sure Bull could see that on his face.

Not into even trying with the mandibles, eh, Bull?
samahl: (O.o)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-09-26 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good point. Definitely going to have to rethink my own 'vaguely curious about mandibles now' feelings.

[personal profile] samahl 2018-09-26 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, don't we seem a little bit tiny to you too?
samahl: (amused)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-09-26 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Is this the part where I take the pedantic road and point out that elves can be Qunari so the two aren't mutually exclusive?

But yes, elves. Humans. Dwarves. The other races. We have to seem rather tiny.

[Natasha's video pops up. Somehow, she doesn't seem especially cheerful. And she's still blonde. Eventually, she might do something about that. It's a low priority at this point.

All that aside, she musters something like humor.]


What, scared off by some mandibles?

[Could be she's looking for a distraction.]

Dear The Iron Bull,

What about that fantastic friendship you have built with the charming Tyrion Lannister? Why do we never hear about him in your letters? Are you intimidated by his wit and charisma? Please discuss.

[Yes, Tyrion is smirking at you from the Malum Bar.]

Long story short—you heard sometimes we get memories from home? Sometimes they come with souvenirs. Wasn't exactly my first choice.

[Let's be real, the blonde is okay, but the red is iconic.]

You don't have to call me something else.
samahl: (oh yeah)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-09-26 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh Bull, when I'm talking to you I'm always thinking out of armor.

Do you have some kind of habit of tying people up?

[To Lance, that sounds a little weird...though he supposes if it's, uh, some kind of sexual thing, he's not going to kinkshame.]

...Oh? You and Dorian?

[Boy, she's losing her touch if she somehow didn't know about this. Damn, she needs to get back into gossiping.]

Nothing like a good kink between friends, yeah?

[Toothy grin] Sounds like you got quite the fanclub there!

Well there is quite a bit of you ... all over.

[Tyrion is looking altogether too innocent for that comment.]

Perhaps if I stood on your head and rode on your horns.

Now, now you might encourage your fans to dye their mandibles now.
