[ the screen flashes on mid-motion, while someone-fenris-is making an angry gesture, quick and sharp. it’s that which probably switched the bracelet on-that and the fact that he isn’t very used to the technology yet. ]

...of all people, that I had to be stuck here with you.

If there was, I'd do well to keep my personal quarrels to myself.

[manskirt]

Oh no, how careless of us.

The elf's practically illiterate, by the way, so talking like this almost feels like a secret handshake or some sort of code.

I believe I like it.

[A nicer man would have maybe switched to voice. But Ramirez kind of doesn't give a shit SO TEXT IT IS.]

Quite.

The elf is your companion, then. He may soon find himself at a disadvantage.

[manskirt]

[ no, please. by all means, continue in this fashion. where the elf can't see. call him names, even, that would be fun--wouldn't it? ]

'Companion' is one word for it, I suppose. Under any other circumstances, 'sworn enemies' might be more accurate.

The disadvantage is purely ideological at this point.

[manskirt]

Well. That was pleasant. [ the more adult version of neener, neener is cheerfully dusting your hands together. ] You might want to check your magical bracelet.

[pfaugh]

[ it is not a magic bracelet! the description of it as such makes him recoil. except can't recoil from something that's attached to your hand whoops. ]

My--

[ oh, ugh. ]

Did you do this?

action;

[manskirt]

[ almost like having a cuff or chain of some kind wrapped around your wrist--like a shackle. an enchanted shackle.

though anders would never be so inappropriate as to make that point.

...with anything other than a very pointed look. ]

Yes. Of course I did. Also, I'm behind this kidnapping. I'm the gods here--all of them. At once.

action;

[pfaugh]

[ yes it is exactly like that, how kind of you to imagine it, anders.

if he had a sense of humor, he'd probably be laughing at this. but he doesn't. so. ]

If that were true, you would not have removed so many mages from their element.

[spaceygoggles]

Hmmmmmmm nope! Gumi can't think of anyone.

voice;

[manskirt]

[ just a bit of a scuffling sound--yes, he's watching these with interest, and butting into other people's conversations is what he does best. ]

Really? No one at all?

...I can't help it. I'm jealous.

voice;

[spaceygoggles]

No one at all! [Would you like some sugar with your overly earnest robot?]

Why? Is it really that weird?

voice;

[manskirt]

Where I come from? Very. Everyone's always hating everyone.

[ before that, it was so much nicer. ]

There's really no one you hate? How about...mild dislike?

video.

[shigeharu]

I think it's more likely that others feel that way about me, really...!

voice;

[manskirt]

[ why he's bothering with voice only after that little display, he has no idea. ]

If they do, they're probably wrong. You're one of the least abhorrent people I've met.

[ he...meant that as a compliment. really. ]

[shigeharu]

Well, it's probably less about me being abhorrent and more about me being annoying, anyway.

[manskirt]

You might not believe this, but I've actually been told the same thing--on more than one occasion.

[whisperspower]

You seem to have thing for pissing people with big swords off.

[Talking to you right now, Anders.]

voice; this made me laugh so hard i love you

[manskirt]

What can I say? It's a talent.

...Yet no one ever seems to mention that people with big swords are all unusually aggressive.

voice; happy to hear it

[whisperspower]

Maybe you should learn to pick your battles better then.

voice; you're a peach nero

[manskirt]

But this is so much more fun. I always enjoy being threatened by a large weapon and a small intellect.
