Mun is considering awesome life choices in the form of reserving to a game

[babblingelf]

Are you sure? I mean- I won't have my magic there and then there's other things. It sounds a bit dirty.

[More than a bit, Merrill.]

Not that it's not okay!! It's a natural thing, isn't it???

[It just sounds strange to her!!]

Comments

Figured the guy with a demon living in his right arm should talk to Merrill XD

[speaks_with_fire]

Sure it's natural.

What isn't natural is some twisted people making you do it.

seems legit

[babblingelf]

Oh. Well, yes. There is that!! The woman who controls the island doesn't sound very nice at all.

[speaks_with_fire]

[Merrill would probably be able to notice he had facial tattoos that weren't unlike some she might find on some elves. They didn't really indicate anything in her language, but they were certainly not something of human culture as she knew it.]

It sounds like a bad time. Being stuck on an island with some psycho who wants you to have sex all the time.

[wittydiplomacy]

Oh good, my mun isn't alone with her questionable tastes.

[Though it would be so much better if said taste was hardly questionable at all but more, palatable. Especially given the headcanon she set aside for this Hawke.]

...Will you be alright there, Merrill?

[babblingelf]

Oh, no!! Your mundane likes those sorts of places too?

[She's not sure whether to be horrified or amazed Hawke isn't horrified herself!!]

I will be fine, ma seranas. Well, I hope I will be! Not that you should worry!!!

[wittydiplomacy]

She loves them, actually and I seem to be her newest venture. Not that I have a thought as to why.

[...Oh Merrill.]

You just know that'll only make me worry more. Do remember to bring that ball of twine with you, if you go.

[babblingelf]

Oh. Well that must be unpleasant. Ir abelas, ma falon.

[Aw, Hawke!! Really she'll be okay!! She hopes.]

I'll remember!! Thank you for reminding me.

[wittydiplomacy]

Unpleasant would probably be an understatement but I'll make do. I always do.

[A brief smile.]

You're welcome, wouldn't want you getting lost so soon. [And without your magic. She just shudders at the thought though she is questioning the idea of having it--more trouble than it's possibly worth.]

At least you won't be alone there? Seems as if there's a bit of a gathering waiting for you when you arrive. [Judging by a few threads below.]

[steals_things]

Where are you thinking of going?

[babblingelf]

Oh, some strange island where people seem to be enslaved with collars? I don't think it'll be all that fun but I have friends there too, I think!!

[Even if a certain elf doesn't consider her a friend :( c'mon Fenris it's not her fault you're so grumpy.]

[wineorgtfo]

Your mun would be wise to change her mind.

[babblingelf]

Why's that?

[wineorgtfo]

That island is no place for you.

[Aka Fenris is there and he doesn't want to deal with you being there.]

[babblingelf]

[She actually has to think about that because honestly, he has a point. Her magic will be gone. Yet, Hawke and Carver and Bethany will all be there, won't they?]

Really? Does she do things like stick rocks between your toes?

[Because that is the only explanation as to why he's being such a sourpuss, clearly.]

[wineorgtfo]

No. Much worse things.

[Grumpy elf is srs srs]

[babblingelf]

Oh, I was just wondering what she could have done to make you so grumpy!!

[Not that... grumpy isn't his default setting.]

[wineorgtfo]

Kidnapping isn't enough?

[babblingelf]

Well... yes. You're right.

[At least he's not mad at her this time?]

I was only wondering!! Having rocks between your toes can't be that comfortable and you don't wear shoes...

[wineorgtfo]

You would know... [Neither do you, Merrill.] But I would rather experience the annoyance of rocks between my toes than remain on that island for the rest of my days.

[babblingelf]

Yes, well - so would I!! [huff] It's not like any of us gets a say in either thing.

[She sort of wishes he had rocks stuck between his toes right now.]

[ohmakerwhatnow]

It's bad enough that my sister is there, now this mun of yours wants to bring you too?

[babblingelf]

Oh, it won't be so bad!! Except the part where I can't use my magic. That might be bad.

[Or Anders and Fenris might be a teeny bit nicer?]

Though I'll try to be careful, ma nuevenin.

[And because she's a little worried...]

Is it really that bad?

[ohmakerwhatnow]

It's -

[It's not like he wants to scare her or even talk about it in any detail AT ALL but -]

If Bethany can survive it, I don't see why you can't.

[Doesn't mean he'll be happy about it obviously. :|]

[babblingelf]

Oh, am I making you worry? Ir abelas, falon.

[She can't help slipping into elvish on occasion, feeling concerned that she's bothering him or making him worry unnecessarily.]

[unrelentingly]

[Merrill you are so precious...]

It's... Not exactly the prime destination for a vacation.

[babblingelf]

It's on an island, isn't it? I hope that's at least bearable.

[Ha because the rest of it sounds really not okay....]

Aside from the collars, and it's probably very warm isn't it? Being on an island. Oh- I'm talking too much aren't I? I'm sorry.

[Because who wants to think about collars and sex, right?? It's too weird!! Mun what are you doing this to her for????]

[unrelentingly]

[Collars and sex and awkward curses and Bethany and Carver - oh my.]

It's rather warm, yes... Though the climate isn't really a concern. [He reaches up and scratches at his collar, brow creasing a bit.] Not when there are more... Pressing matters.

I hope that your mundane does consider what they're possibly subjecting you to, Merrill.

[Though Hawke's player is all for seeing Merrill thrown into this mess. Come to us.]

[babblingelf]

[Her face falls a bit at the last part, but otherwise her expression is neutral. She's not going to let Hawke worry for her sake!!]

I think she has considered it a little too much, ma falon.

[And with that she looks down at her feet, not wanting him to see that she's blushing a little. It was weird and it sounded generally unpleasant to have to deal with the collars but Hawke is there... his siblings are there and she rather likes the both of them though she'll only be knowing Carver when she apps in, oops.]

[unrelentingly]

Should things go that way... I'll do my best to watch out for you, Merrill.

[He promised Marethari that much so many years ago - and he intends to continue honouring it. Keeping Merrill safe on sex island... This was not going to be easy.]

Bethany and Carver will do all they can too - as will Fenris, and Anders.

[Even if the latter will require quite a bit of convincing...]

[babblingelf]

You don't have to go that far!! I mean- if you don't want to- not that I would be bothered by your help or anything, it's just-!! Oh, I'm rambling again. Sorry. It's a bit- I wish I could be like you, Hawke. I don't think I've ever seen you be afraid of anything!!

[Well except when his family gets hurt. That's not good, ever. :/]

Oh, I'm sure they would- Bethany and Carver, I mean. I don't think Fenris or Anders would enjoy helping me very much, even if they wanted to.

[They're generally quite mean to her, really, though she does care about them.]

[unrelentingly]

Watching out for one and other is what friends do.

[Though the collar situation might end up a bit awkward... Not nearly as awkward as Bethany, he hopes but... At least he could help Merrill if it came down to-- MOVING ON... Where is Isabela when you need her??]

I'll make certain that Anders and Fenris don't fuss too much.

[babblingelf]

I know and I would do that for you too!! Watch out for you, I mean.

[Even though this is Hawke and he probably is more than all set with his collar without her help. She just wants to be helpful to him some how, even if it's not that.]

Ah- ma serannas, Hawke. Who knows? Maybe it won't be so bad?

[It will. She's just trying to be optimistic!!]

[unrelentingly]

[Her optimism is a nice change of pace, at least. He can appreciate that.]

I suppose there is always a silver lining.

[It would be nice to have another companion there...]
