Voice testing the newest muse, hoping he hangs around a while.

You must realize, of course, that bringing me into this already crowded rumpus of yours will only result in my being put up on a shelf to gather dust before week's end.
You barely seem able to maintain those of us that came along far before I ever became part of your purview.
While I suppose I could say that it is nice to be out and about, how long do you believe this will last?
It seems to me, dear man, that you're simply throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Are you afraid of being dust?

[tevinterpariah]

Not afraid, so much as mildly disgusted. I don't think this place ever gets cleaned.

Ack so sorry I fell asleep >.<

[fadeling]

Why?

It's all good, I'd only just woken up when I responded. :>

[tevinterpariah]

Why am I disgusted? Because the lack of upkeep is making this place look shoddy. It's hardly a green room at all.
Why does it never get cleaned? If the rest of these...people are anything to judge by, I just don't think they care to try.
There is no effort being put in here, and I am frankly rather appalled.

Wheeee naps~

[fadeling]

Oh. Sorry. Can I help?

Naps are the greatest thing known to man.

[tevinterpariah]

Doubtful, though you are welcome to try.

Re: Naps are the greatest thing known to man.

[fadeling]

Too far, too...fuzzy. I don't like not helping.

[tevinterpariah]

A shame, really. There is nobody familiar here, and those that are friendly I would much rather they kept their distance. Nobody else from Thedas seems to exist here...

[fadeling]

You're lonely. Me too, sometimes.

[tevinterpariah]

_{[A moment where he considers arguing that he is not lonely, but...]}

It's just...strange. Being surrounded by unfamiliar people is one thing, but it is quite another to look around and find nothing from home at all.

[fadeling]

Dark, desolate, dead. Whispers of screams every time I try to hear. Pain and pleasure all twisted together, torturous. I want to help but...I can't. They won't let me. They like hurting people.

That place is...it's evil.

Considering most of this stupid green room is full of tragic pasts and Homestucks...

[tevinterpariah]

_{[Cole has it more right about the room itself than he might realize, even if he's referring to the space in between.]}

Perhaps there will be other ways, other times. The owner of this distinct hell seems willing to let everyone out to play every now and then, so I suppose it isn't all terrible. Look who I've managed to come across already!

lol that was actually more about the game he's in, but poor, poor Dorian

[fadeling]

Do they hurt them?

Great, they're both surrounded by it. Poor boys.

[tevinterpariah]

Sometimes. It's not frequent but they do seem to take great pleasure in it when it happens.

But it's so much ;o;

[fadeling]

They shouldn't hurt people. It's...wrong.

What is Tartarus? I've never really been in games before save for one.

[tevinterpariah]

Indeed. Particularly if they're not doing it as a means to an end. Mindless violence is just that.

It's a horror game set in the Greek Underworld. I've been there forever, but Cole just got there

[fadeling]

You shouldn't hurt anyone.

((The idea is characters are being punished for their "sins" by a vengeful goddess. It's really little, but really fun. Everyone is great about backtagging and it isn't too fast-paced, but there's usually someone around to tag with. The events are fun (and usually based on B-horror movies, so also sometimes hilarious) and the mods are fantastic. I WILL STOP GUSHING NOW BUT YOU SHOULD TOTALLY COME.))

I've played in a large-scale horror game, it didn't work out, sadly.

[tevinterpariah]

The reality is, sometimes things exist just to hurt people. The best you can do is push through it, find something on the other side of it to hold onto.

_{[[But I'm looking at it just the same. I like that it seems somewhat small. I'm also really REALLY new to playing Dorian (like I only just picked him up yesterday) so I'm not sure about taking him into a game just yet. Gotta get in some practice with him.]]}

I think he sounds fantastic so far! :) And I hope you can come join us <3

[fadeling]

It shouldn't be that way.

Oh gosh, I'm flattered! Thank you, I like your Cole quite a bit too. :>

[tevinterpariah]

It shouldn't, but it's better to accept it, I feel. Otherwise you'd sink into utter despair and frankly, I have no time for it.

_{[[I have a friend that's looking to start playing Iron Bull, hopefully if I do join they might come with.]]}

asdfksldfjas thanks :3

[fadeling]

You shouldn't accept hurt. You shouldn't have to.

((dsfdfjsdf BUUUUUULLL yesyesyes I need this in my life))

[tevinterpariah]

Agreed. But the way of the world doesn't allow for being completely sheltered from such things without completely shattering that illusion sooner or later.

_{[[They're super nervous about it all though. Not used to DW rp.]]}

[fadeling]

Hiding hurts doesn't heal them. You...see it but don't accept it. It doesn't always have to hurt. It isn't forever.

((Aw, I understand. If you guys would like, I'm always available for some judgment-free practice))

[tevinterpariah]

Some say that time heals them. Others believe that hiding a man from pain completely will protect him. That only makes the hurt more devastating when it does come. Better to live and become calloused to it than to grow up fragile and eventually be broken.

_{[[I've dropped Dorian into a bunch of memes over on Bakerstreet. Might tag him around some too.]]}

[fadeling]

But it shouldn't need to hurt. No one needs hurting.

((oooo fun. I haven't been on bakerstreet much. Maybe I should start lol))
