5 - 25% Gone (Backdated to the 4th)

Jul 05, 2011 12:18

Is this intended to be our captors' version of tranquility? To make us think we were always their mindless pets?

[Anders, you sound a little angry there. Better calm down -- oh wait, your passenger is still MIA, you're good ( Read more... )

!event, can't technology like a bas, furious manifesto-ing, here justice where justice, !action, dammit anders, mages mages mages, some anger management issues, scream! tranquility

If you're rehearsing lines for a play, leave the phone on the hook, if you would. Do stop with the rambling, otherwise.

justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 02:09:43 UTC

This is no play, madam. This is serious.

deaths_heritor July 6 2011, 02:27:02 UTC

I don't know what on the Disc you're talking about, but I do know that you're disturbing my children.

[...Brief pause. She said Earth, didn't she?]

justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 02:30:55 UTC

What... on the Disc?

[And Anders seizes on that faster than a mabari on a steak.]

You see? Even now, their lies are disintegrating. You can tell, can't you!

Don't be silly, Anders! We're all happy here, aren't we? What's there to fight?

and then Anders cried a manly tear justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 02:47:54 UTC

... Oh no.

Hawke. Don't tell me they've gotten to you...

cheer up emo abomination wantasammich July 6 2011, 02:51:18 UTC

What are you on about? No one's 'gotten to me,' as far as I can tell. Are you all right?

--And why are you calling me that? [Though 'Hawke' does sound awfully familiar...] My name is Marian, you know that.

No B( justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 02:56:52 UTC

They have -- our captors! Hawke, you can't... you have to fight them. Remember Kirkwall. The Qunari invasion... saving the city.

[Because that seems like all that's holding the brainwashing at bay, from his perspective.]

... Yes. Marian Hawke. That's your name, no matter what this place would have you believe.

Wow. Tell us how you really feel.

justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 06:04:10 UTC

I did.

brbgoing2russia July 6 2011, 06:10:46 UTC

I was being sarcastic.

justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 06:21:09 UTC

... Oh.

I... I'm sorry. It's been something of a rough day.

[Eying those papers, but there was something more urgent than his curiosity of them to bring up.]

Hey, I heard you over the phone. So you're one of those that's saying the town is crazy?

Action justiceis_hard July 6 2011, 18:38:09 UTC

[The furiously scribbling mage stops, looking up.]

Oh no. Don't tell me they've gotten you as well.

Action forgottenshiki July 7 2011, 03:18:25 UTC

Not... quite. I'm still have enough sense to fight off those- these- THOSE memories off. Tch, this is a droning, right?

Action justiceis_hard July 7 2011, 03:28:51 UTC

I'm not sure. It's similar to things I've experienced in Thedas... neither of which are pleasant.

For once...mage...I agree with you. [It sounds as though Fenris almost forgot the word for a second. And yes, he does sound exactly as disturbed as you'd think about that.]

This is - like blood magic. I have seen such things in Tevinter. [Ah, Tevinter. Thinking of it and its magisters, and the hatred that inspires, helps give Fenris a firmer grip on himself.] To enslave the body is bad enough, but to enslave the mind...

How are such things fought? [Under normal circumstances, he might have made a snide remark about mages here, but circumstances are anything but normal. He sounds genuinely desperate for Anders' advice to arm him for this battle.]

justiceis_hard July 7 2011, 02:01:48 UTC

Now I know you've been brainwashed.

It is. Something like blood magic and tranquility combined. I've never seen anything like it... but...

[There's always a "but". If nothing else but because Justice was around to make sure of it. He pauses, thinking hard -- throttling down the thoughts threatening to surface.]

... You hate mages. You absolutely loathe everything we are. If you had lived in this town, you shouldn't know what a mage is, let alone how much your despise us.

Focus on that. Fight it with that knowledge.

unasked_for July 9 2011, 02:51:49 UTC

I have been focusing - on my markings. If I lived here...there would be no brands, no lyrium. I need no further reminders of mages than these.

[His voice takes on a slightly drier, much more familiar tone.] I had hoped you might have useful advice. Some way to stop this.

justiceis_hard July 9 2011, 05:47:27 UTC

Then keep doing that. If it's working, no need to change tactics.

[He makes an irritated noise, regardless of familiarity.] That is useful advice, applied correctly.
