[ voice ]

I yield.

[The voice coming out of the communicator is low, little more than a growl. It's also bitter, bleak, and tinged with sarcasm.]I cast this device and its magics into your cursed fountain, and before I have taken ten steps I feel its weight on my belt once more. I abandon it underground and find it waiting for me when I emerge

Do you need some twine? I wouldn't mind lending it out if you needed to borrow it.

[BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS LOST.]

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

So you are involved with this. I am overwhelmed with shock.

[Yes, he's being sarcastic.]

voice;

[direbunnies]

Not on purpose. I think I was brought here a month ago or so. Someone told me to think of it as a vacation.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

You were abducted and told to consider it a vacation. Did you listen?

voice;

[direbunnies]

It wasn't the deities that run this place that told me that. It was someone named Mizuno. She seemed very nice.

But no, I didn't listen.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

[A snort.]

You've gained a small amount of sense. There are some wonders here after all.

voice;

[direbunnies]

This place is a little better than some of the places I've gotten lost in, at least. It's bigger than an airing cupboard.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

Are you an abomination yet? This place must encourage it, and you need little encouragement as it is.

voice;

[direbunnies]

No, I'm not deformed, insane, or attacking people. I don't think there's anything to worry about.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

There's always something to worry about. There's just not reason to kill you yet.

[He's being even harsher than he'd normally be. It's a bad time for him, and the sudden transition to the City isn't helping.]

voice;

[direbunnies]

And there won't be a reason to do that, Fenris. I'm able to handle myself just fine, even if we don't know this place well.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

[A pause; his breathing is a little rough on the other end of the comm, like he's even angrier than usual. Then he reins it in.]

Do not let it seduce you, witch.

voice;

[direbunnies]

I won't let it. I know how to be careful.

voice;

[freewolfmoon]

So you say. So they always say. It is never true.

voice;

[direbunnies]

It will be true in this case.
