[Enjoying some silence? NOT FOR LONG. Leezar's melodious cackling breaks through.]

Your spell missed me this time, Admiral! Already, I can see that the effects of this flood are as impotent as your... your... steering. And... leadership skills.

[Yeah, you told him.]

LIBERY SP4M

[strangehstorian]

[Chromie is almost always in the library, but is usually quietly reading up on other woooorlds. Except when Leezar comes in. HA! That is her inmate. HER CHARGE! He should know what is in store for him - uncooperative...ness will not be tolerated!

There is something very odd going on here, isn't there?

She swallows the sudden swell of impulsive pride and simply waves at her inmate as he passes her section of the shelves. If she can be civil to the rest of these weak mortals, she can do this.]

Hello, Leezar! How are you settling in here?

[Oops. That may have come out as more mocking than she intended.]

why did I read that as SPERM

[thefuckening]

Settling? I'm not settling at all! [ACCUSATORY POINT.] Do you really think you can lull me into a stupor like the other inmates?

[Oh ps he's unaffected. This is all Leezar, baby.]

FREUDIAN READING

[strangehstorian]

[YOU'LL BE LULLED INTO WHATEVER I WANT YOU TO BE LULLED INTO -

There's a long pause here, and a slight crease appears in her forehead as she tries to piece together something more polite.]

Ahm... no. I just hope you're... used to what's going on by now. You've been here a few weeks.

SHAMEFUL READING

[thefuckening]

I'll never be used to having my magic stripped from me! Look at this. [To demonstrate his point, he sort of flicks his hand and makes a book on a table a few feet away... flop onto the ground.] A cheap parlour trick!

No, I refuse to settle. I never settle! My mothers taught me better than that!

[tadwizard]

[Tony had just been relaxing on the deck. Then Leezar came up, and an overwhelming feeling of smug pride came over him. He smirked. Why was he smirking? He wasn't sure, but it felt right.]

You're the guy who was talking about the Fuckening, right?

[Damn. That meant this guy knew less about magic than him. Something seemed odd about his desire to taunt the guy, but at the same time, the maturity that would allow Tony to see that was pretty much gone.]

[thefuckening]

[STARE.]

I may have mentioned it. In passing. [Repeatedly.]

[tadwizard]

Yeah, just a few hundred times.

[thefuckening]

Well, it's very important, all right?! [POINT] You're just another dog who has no understanding of the fiery oblivion that awaits you!

On deck - because I can't let Elric go without at least one thread of MASSIVE CRACK

[blackbladebitch]

[So Elric is out on deck, taking in the sights. It's one of the things he has always quietly enjoyed about the Barge, and he's determined to make as much of it as he can before he leaves. He is also thoroughly affected by the flood, and so is trying to get away from people whilst also radiating no small amount of ANGST, self-pity, moody nobility, and a general absence of a sense of humour.

Too bad his meanderings have taken him into Leezar's orbit. He narrows his eyes a little at the wizard, of whom he has an exceptionally low opinion. The Bright Emperors wouldn't have deigned to use him to feed their dogs.]

EXCELLENT!

[thefuckening]

[Well, what's this bubble of self importance and melodrama coming your way? Why, it's Leezar, the most popular, talented sorcerer on the Barge! Only, he's in a bit of a mood right now, since people have taken to walking up to him and being total assholes today, and he has no idea why, since he's, quite frankly, amazing and deserves their awe and respect.

And fear. Naturally.

But nevermind that! He's been busy constructing a new staff, one to channel the powers of the stars on which the Barge floats (because those stars are clearly where the Barge draws its magic), and now? Now it's time to take that staff out for a test run.

Too bad it's made out of a pool cue and a plastic bauble he mistook for a crystal.

Look. Plastic doesn't exist in his world, so fuck off with that... judgey look.]

oh god, Leezar makes me laugh so hard.

[blackbladebitch]

[Under normal circumstances, Elric is fairly melodramatic himself, but this particular trait has now, as Nigel Tufnel might say, been turned up to eleven. Thanks, Leezar.]

YOU, SIR! What trickery would you wreak with that STAFF?

TY! Elric's response is killing me

[thefuckening]

[Affronted!] WHAT? Trickery, indeed! I'll have you know that this is a perfectly innocent... [Uhhhhhhhh.] navigational tool. Very sophisticated. You wouldn't understand. [FOOL-- but he manages to hold that back, at least. After all, he has to play... innocent.]
