The mage clothes always delight me.

I want to know what question she asked. And what face/form he's wearing.

I was going to meet her brothers

*cackle* It is highly entertaining to see the fox(es) having an internal flail moment.

I read that as Gibbet-son for a moment. Which involved a rather severe o_O moment in my head (along with Wish laughing at me).

I couldn't really even see the beacon her brother lit for her, or the structure of the rope holding me. I could feel the design of the spell that moved us, but it wouldn't have done me much good in the time I had.

They are a very scary mage family. [/solemn]

and Geoffrey was always tied up in organization. Which ordinarily would've meant I'd have spent significant time around the Prince Geoffrey, but I hadn't. Never let it be said I can't keep an end goal in mind.

I presume this is because his lady love might have been amused by the resulting disorganization on a purely artistic level but she'd have fried him for giving her all this work at fixing it again?

This one's pretty description heavy; I'll be spreading things out more come the editing cycle. Happy to hear it's working in some respect, though.

The question is 'Do you have a face you can wear for a few days?' (the two pieces have the same conversation chunk, for reference), and I suspect, very strongly, that this is the face, the skin he wore when he was a rock star.

*laughs!* No, he's borrowing guitar names. :)

They are a bit, that. *solemn*

Mostly she'd have fried him for fucking with her brothers' project[s]. With extreme prejudice. >.>

When Arianhrod''s NOT the most dangerous thing in a given space, things are potentially Extremely Interesting.

BWAHAHAHA. Ahem.

:D I love the complete voice of experience there.

Huh. Go, me?

I have this mental image of you putting each sentence on a card and arranging them till you're satisfied.

Ah, I should have gone back and read. Distracted by other things.

I figured that out after I got my brain dis-entangled from the Gibbet-son mis-read. There was just a considerable amount of ". . . now there's a name to impress the potential in-laws with!"

I love the "SHINY!" underlying his voice about them.

Because, if for no other reason, then she'd have to listen to them whine complain about the mess(es).

I wonder how often those Extremely Interesting Situation result in "Wait, wasn't there a [significant geographic feature] there earlier? And where did Arianhrod go?" [/idly]

His students are mostly going "That's not FUNNY, sir!"

Boys, it is only valid if SHE does it.

Well, among the types of character I like, the ones who make significant relationship gestures with or without directly speaking about it tend to linger in my brain.

Not likely. Too much hassle to get a road closure permit. *dry*

Well, if the roof ever needs to be redone (and the sidewalk and the driveway, maybe the siding too . . .)

I'm still doubting we'd have the empty horizontal space necessary.

Very tiny cards. Mosaics!

... Wow that would be a lot of cards.

It's even Arianhrod first person! *hand to forehead, sad!*

*snerk* Quite. =P

Never let it be said this fox ignores his inner adrenaline junkie.

Well, and in this case, it's her fault for not properly Banishing the fox in the first place. That really wouldn't help the boom effect.

*laughing!* Not as often as you'd think? She is a princess, after all. Diplomacy and not losing your temper and rerouting mountain ranges are Things What Have Been Taught. (This is not to say she's never been pushed hard enough to lose her temper explosively, but it tends to be . . memorable, when it does happen.)

*amused!*

It's probably fortunate that Ruadhan and Donel never quite had the sheer firepower at their disposal that Fintain, Ulysse or Arianhrod do. >.>

Inner? You mean he has two (or more)?

...thank you, for that mental image. *beats side of head repeatedly*

Himself and then one per tail?

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. Always boom tomorrow.

Dealer's choice. ;)

Yes, yes. Woe is you. *flaps hand at you*

Well, up until Odin comes up going "Wait, where did THAT bastard come from?"

I've no fear of that accusation ever being made.

Banishment: The fox is giving me Big Puppy Eyes in my head. Shoo.

*squints* Have we been looking at different historical sets of privileged royalty? ;)

Although dropping Box on your mages is an Interesting thought exercise.

This would be the Universe protecting itself.

I have Types!

Just do not shuffle at random. o.O;

*snickers*

... Oh wow would Odin regret that one.

Neither do I. But it's a good line.

BWAHAHAHA. This should be amusing.

I imprinted on Leia Organa, okay?

Oh, so?

Proooobably. Yeek.

Oh, but that'd be such fun!

*flick*

He'd probably just tell Loki that someone was a better prankster than him and then sit back and watch the fireworks. (Wish: *disdainful snort*)

Now where's the hook and sinker?

Wish is offering to turn female and leave long black hairs on him for Arianhrod to find.

*instantly flashes to you with the bun hairdo* GNARF

The rest of the students I've got at least a rough out line for but he's peculiar enough that I still don't have a handle on him which is not helped by the fact he doesn't freaking TALK. He looks like The son of man except everything over the collar is empty except for a box floating above the collar (at one point he opens it and pulls out a globe) and he's wearing gloves. Even Wish admits he's Very Strange.

"I *like* that part of my Continuum where it IS, you horrible twits!"

Only until I caught up with you.

I dunno. Odin and Loki's relationship ended kinda Badly in the sagas. I'm not sure Odin would be up for that level of fireworks and their probable fallout all over him.

He says he's sure he doesn't know what you're talking about.

*snorf*

*laughs!* No, I haven't got thick enough hair. This is about as close as I get, and it really, really ain't that close.

Huh. Rather invites the question of how he communicates, if he doesn't talk.

*laaaaughing*

Sudden gust of wind!

What's a little snake venom in the eyes for centuries between friends?

I'm sorry, was he under the impression that this is my first encounter with trickters?

=D Which reminds me, I need to get the bones of a scene down before I forget it.

Among other things: wrong side of your head and there's only one!

Yeaaaah. You see my problem. Given my writing predilections, it makes it awfully hard to engage a character with no dialogue. And of course he can't/won't go for something simple like ASL. Even Wish isn't forthcoming about him either other than to say that despite being human he's always fallen outside the norms and 'graduating' from being Wish's student to his own magician didn't make him any easier on the brain. Although at least I do know his gender! (This was a serious concern for a while.)

They are most fortunate they don't live in an existence that talks back.
