Getting Near The End Of DA 2 Makes Morrigan Want A New Home...

[tis_disapproval]

Do not doubt my suitability for somewhere other than a return to cosmic prisons. That I came to appreciate Morgana's company should not dictate where I am next to appear.

'Tis hardly a mystery what I was doing while this Kirkwall fiasco played out... Or are you of the belief I knew nothing of mother's reappearance? By logic, if not deed. Did I not make this clear at the Eluvian?

No. Somewhere a little more familiar, this time, I think. And if it must involve mechanical contraptions and ships which travel the stars, then at least some sort of-

No, I was not about to request 'merry company'... You should know me better than that.

My mundane is running through that game now. Some things in your world are very disconcerting.

[Namely blood magic and necromancy. That scares him more than anything else he's seen.]

[tis_disapproval]

Many who live in it would not disagree.

[preacher_man]

Every world has its' own sets of problems though. Some are just more obvious than others.

[tis_disapproval]

One must simply find their place - and most often fight for it.

[birdhousesoul]

Yes, well, I just got dumped onto an evil star-voyaging ship myself. I suppose we can't have everything in life.

[ladyspitfire]

What's wrong with company?

[tis_disapproval]

Evil, you say...?

[tis_disapproval]

'Tis a notion best left to those with... Different priorities to my own.

But as so often is the case, I find myself in your midst, once again. Or at least, being drawn to the same compass heading...

[ladyspitfire]

There's nothing wrong with that, is there? You almost sound disgruntled to see me again.

[Guess who just saw you slither into the Eluvian, Morrigan.]

[birdhousesoul]

... You say that, as if evil mightn't be a bad thing. I find it just a little disconcerting that my scribe has chucked me into the sort of place whose guidebook requires a special, separate heading for "bad things".

[tis_disapproval]

A great many things are transpiring, Warden - both in our world and others. 'Tis more... Curiosity than annoyance.

I would perhaps add 'amusement' to the list, but that would run the risk of sounding like Flemeth.

[ladyspitfire]

So you've said.

[And as much as she doesn't want to believe Morrigan... She knows it's true. She just doesn't know what it is yet.]

You're not your mother, don't worry. But you can't keep leaving me in the dark. If trouble is brewing, then I need to find out what it is. It needs to be stopped.

[tis_disapproval]

That depends on what can be gained from it. One Templar's abomination is a magister's pet, no?

If you are exclusively at its mercy, however...

[tis_disapproval]

Hmm... Sometimes I wonder if she shall one day be revealed as some future incarnation of myself. The Fade's most diabolical of abominations could not fill me with the same horror, were that to be true.

Tell me, my friend... If what must be depends on ignorance, would you have me break that bond? At risk of creating something far worse?

[swoopingisbad]

Aww, you think of us as merry!

[tis_disapproval]

I can think of a number of words to describe you, Alistair... Would you like me to volunteer some?

[birdhousesoul]

[He winces, slightly but visibly, at the word abomination.]

I don't know if there's anything to be gained. I expect I'll find out. [The hard way.]

[tis_disapproval]

I would not be so accepting of that fate if I were you.

[birdhousesoul]

Escape's out of the question, even for me. There isn't any air outside this ship.

[tis_disapproval]

Lovely. You'll just have to imagine it's a dragon.

With a slow digestive system...

[birdhousesoul]

[dryly:] Is that supposed to be comforting?

[tis_disapproval]

You really don't know me well...

[birdhousesoul]

Why would I want to imagine myself being eaten by a dyspeptic dragon?

[tis_disapproval]

I can suggest it's a waking dream, triggered by the horror of darkspawn abduction, if this is more preferable? Perhaps they're getting experimental with who they turn into broodmothers, these days.

No...?

[birdhousesoul]

Ew.

[tis_disapproval]

Then dragon, it is!

[birdhousesoul]

For a beautiful woman, you're not very nice.

[tis_disapproval]

'Tis better to be envied than befriended.

[tis_disapproval]

And as I finish insisting the scribe adjusts my portraits to a higher standard, in readiness to join you, so it seems you have changed your own, entirely...

A choice most unexpected.

[ladyspitfire]

There were...complications.

[Read: the mun is an idiot and didn't realize there would be facetwins involved.]

But I'm glad to see you might be coming. I've been approved to go...me and my Mabari.

[tis_disapproval]

Ah, the... Yes... I would not object to seeing your hound, again...

[DIPLOMACY, always. :| Because it's better than admitting she was playful with the beast before stepping through the Eluvian.]

Witnessing my stepping through the mirror will have prepared you for other worlds, at least. In that, it seems I shall have performed one last service for you without intention.

[ladyspitfire]

[Oh, she has to smile about that. Everyone loves that dog, even if they won't admit it.]

And I'm grateful, believe me. But none of us are going to be prepared for this...technology that I've been told will be there. I am actually glad for the few who possess magic there, for at least it won't feel so much unlike home.

[tis_disapproval]

Oh, I'm sure we can melt their contraptions quite easily, should you find enough of us. The more complicated the mechanism, the more prone to... Interference it becomes.

[ladyspitfire]

[She laughs.]

We might not get new ones if you were to do that.

[tis_disapproval]

There are greater forces than even the mightiest catapult. Have a little faith, Warden...

[ladyspitfire]

You know I do.

[tis_disapproval]

Then we take them from others.

[>:D]

[ladyspitfire]

[She snorts.]

As always, you are a terrible influence.

[She's totally behind doing that.]

[tis_disapproval]

You say this as if it's unexpected...

psst, there's a test drive meme for exsilium here: http://dramaticshitinlatin.dreamwidth.org/3809.ht

[ladyspitfire]

Nothing's unexpected with you around.

Too late - now applied and we are all doomed! D:

[tis_disapproval]

It's my personal charm...
