1 ♐ Text/Action ♐ This Is Somehow Mindfang's Fault. Somehow.

Sep 28, 2011 18:43

[At around five in the afternoon or so, an anonymous message will go around the network.]

Hello.
I appear to be stranded on an unknown planet with alien lifeforms.
If I could have the name of this place along with further information on its inhabitants and its relation to the Alternian Empire, that would be most helpful.
Thank you.[It's best ( Read more... )

boner for technology, [rpg] vatheon, it's always mindfang's fault

[ She arrived only the other day, but she learned quickly that this place is safe enough--certainly far safer than Alternia on any given day--to walk around on her own ( ... )

[Due to her silence and how completely absorbed he is in his work, the Dolorosa will be utterly successful in her sneaking.

Really, the little device is fascinating. It's hardly a particularly advanced piece of work; in fact, he even finds a few flaws in it that would cause it to turn on and off sporadically without its owner (aka him) even noticing if he hadn't decided to fiddle with it now. It helps him relax, which he certainly needs after exchanging words with others on its network. He's just in the process of putting it back together again when...

That title.

Darkleer promptly goes stiff, and his fingers clench his tool tightly. Fortunately, it's been modified to withstand his strength- one of the few things that can.]

...Executor no longer.

[His movements are slow and hesitant as he stands up, matching her height if not more quite easily. As he turns around, he feels his vascular system twist about quite painfully. Ah.

He knows who this is.

It does not make his feelings any easier to decipher.

[ action ] sufferrogate September 28 2011, 23:47:02 UTC

[ Despite his height and breadth making her seem like a ffrail twig, she does not move or flinch. ]

I apologize; I was unsure as to how to properly address you.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 28 2011, 23:50:14 UTC

[While he may be the larger one physically, her presence makes him feel alarmingly small.]

I imagine the proper term would be 'Expatriate' now.

I... did not expect to see you in this place given your.. punishment.

[ action ] sufferrogate September 28 2011, 23:58:39 UTC

I would not expect to see you in this place given your own. Although, my own punishment has come to an end, so I suppose my being here is the more of the two.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 00:10:07 UTC

I see... [He doesn't. In fact, he wasn't even aware that a slave could have freedom once bought, as that is simply how it is in Alternia. Freeing slaves? Unless you're starting a rebellion, as if.]

[For a moment more, he's silent before he hesitantly ventures to speak again. He has no cause to tell her this. He does not need to. But... They were compatriots.

It is... right?]

She... escaped. Successfully. No one has managed to track her. I believe her to be safe from other trolls, if nothing else.

[There's no explanation for how he knows this.]

[ action ] sufferrogate September 29 2011, 00:12:34 UTC

[ She closes her eyes, smiles, and speaks sincerely--not that she speaks in any other way. ]

I doubt I can ever repay you for what you have sacrificed, but I can at the least begin with this: Thank you.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 00:33:13 UTC

Please do not.

[This is one of the few times he will ever be so cordial- no, so openly desperate to one with lower blood than he.]

I know not why I did what I did. [That's a lie.] Madness overtook me, perhaps. It was a shameful thing for me to do, to not obey my superiors, to disobey the Condesce herself.

[He is not prepared to confront his feelings on the Sufferer's disciple. Not yet.]

[ action ] sufferrogate September 29 2011, 00:38:39 UTC

Why you did what you did is any answer you alone can answer and I do not wish to pry the information from you. You are the only one with a right to that information.

You...and perhaps her.

What I can say however is what I believe it is you did: you took pity upon a defenseless child immersed in sorrow and saved her, bravely.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 00:55:05 UTC

Silence.

[His voice turns harsh in a snarl, but in no time flat, his shoulders are slumping in defeat and his voice is low again.]

Please.

[ action ] sufferrogate September 29 2011, 00:59:48 UTC

[ She is silent...for a moment. ]

...We must put aside sorting out our past for the time being as there are far more pertinent matters that we must discuss.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 01:44:11 UTC

[Business, then. Good. It is a much better thing to focus on.]

I can only surmise that you have something in particular you wish to discuss?

[ action ] sufferrogate September 29 2011, 01:46:00 UTC

If you have yet to do so already, you will inevitably encounter numerous Troll children here that are of great importance. I would like to speak to you about them.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 02:11:42 UTC

[Why does he have a feeling almost like he knows what this conversation will entail...]

Speak, then. There is hardly any point in dallying.

[ action ] sufferrogate September 29 2011, 02:19:59 UTC

First and foremost, they all will be terrified of you. I suggest you do not take this personally, whether positively or negatively, as they were similarly terrified of me. I politely ask of you to please not scare them more than they will scare themselves.

Secondly, I would like to know if you have encountered any of the aforementioned children as of yet.

[ action ] aim_exorable September 29 2011, 02:35:31 UTC

[...Oh. Whoops.]

I... see.. I have indeed encountered a few of the younger trolls. Yes.
