You forgot to include lubrication.

[riseto]

They're clearly out to hurt each other, and you think they'd use lubrication?

[valentineluke]

Good point.

[freewolfmoon]

Perhaps he's here, and hoping we'll give him more material if we think he's not.

[ Pause. There's text on the screen. People on the Network have been talking about writing stories today. Did Hawke...? ]

You wrote a story?

voice;

[riseto]

Time to start combing the taverns?

[ oh she sounds. entirely too amused. she's not Isabela, she doesn't do this as a regular hobby, but today for some reason is different. ]

Just a little thing. Did you read it?

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

I...

[ He'd tell her, if this were a private conversation. He doesn't lie one-on-one with Hawke, not consciously. But he doesn't know how to use filters yet, and the thought of admitting to a City full of strange people that he lacks what they must consider such a basic skill...he can't bear it. Time to cross his fingers and hope he's learned the art of bullshitting well enough from the aforementioned dwarf. ]

I'm unfamiliar with the style of the tale. But your passion for the story is admirable.

[ Fenris..........what?

No, seriously, what? ]

So you enjoyed it, then?

[direbunnies]

Oh! Is this like the friend fiction that Isabela and Varric wrote?

[riseto]

I don't think you can call Fenris and Anders "friends" in the strictest sense...but yes, something like that.

[direbunnies]

... I suppose rival fiction probably fits better anyway.

[Somebody was just browsing the network, because she does that sometimes when she's bored, and Rapunzel ran into...this.

She's read it twice now, in sort of sick fascination. This is flustered Rapunzel, who is bright red.]

That...Oh. Oh, my.

[She's only just recently gotten a proper sex ed lesson, forgive her.]

[video]

[riseto]

Terrible? Excruciating?

[ she really has no illusions about how awful her writing is ]

[video]

[tangledintower]

I...I don't...I mean, the writing is very good, but...

...What on earth are they doing?

[video]

[riseto]

Isn't it obvious?

[ironmanic]

Fenris. The weird elf guy?

Well, that was certainly an interesting read. Fiction?

[riseto]

Tall for an elf, pale hair, broods a lot? That's him.

The only way I could see that happening in reality would be if they were both under the thrall of a Desire demon.

[ironmanic]

So basically- an aphrodisiac. Makes sense. Not my style, but you seem to have an interesting talent in this.

[riseto]

An aphrodisiac with a heaping side of magical mind control.

I don't know that I'd call it a "talent." My talents just involve killing things.
