I. OPEN.

[liberalum]

FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Dorian Pavus and some fans.
RECIPIENT: Everyone.
WHAT: Karma.
WHEN: Guardian 18.
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: I won't actually action this one out, but we can work out by arrangement if your character would in fact like a chicken, but most will go to the barn despite this offer. Dorian just wants people to remove them. ;-;

[ Clearly, this message is being sent on slight impulse, a certain degree of stress and despair in his tone despite being delivered, initially, with somewhat sarcastic cheer. ]

It appears I have come into a sudden wealth of--

[ A brief pause, a struggle, not really wanting to say it. ]

--poultry. Livestock.

[ In the background, the gentle clucking of perfectly content chickens makes for a background to Dorian's clipped syllables, clenched teeth, the slight implication in his tone that he might laugh or cry or both, left unchecked. ]

Do come by if you would like one of these. Take as many as you can carry, you're welcome to them. They're not leaving, they just keep running back in, I swear they're following me around-- oh, look at this, just--! It laid an egg! In Nevarran satin! And feathers, everywhere, this coat was spotless, and now it looks like I've rolled around in a chicken--

[ This is the moment he realises why this is happening to him. ]

--coop. Well, I hope you're happy. [ Whether he's addressing a broody hen or Leliana is left to interpretation. ] But no, really, someone take them from-- no no no, get away from that--

[ Message ends. ]

[He is trying really hard not to laugh.]

Do you need help?

[liberalum]

I know you want to laugh, I can hear it. [ Sighing; ] Go on, get it over with, and then come here and help me ensure I didn't miss an egg somewhere.

[blightedson]

No, no. I'm not -- [A bit of it breaks through and then he regains control.] I'm not laughing. I'll be right there to help you with the mess.

[liberalum]

You're a dear man, even if your sense of humour runs cruel and perverse.

[blightedson]

At least I'm aware of it and try to correct the behavior.

[liberalum]

it only needs correcting when levelled at me.

[blightedson]

Hence my correcting it now.
