FORM: voice / crystal
SENDER: Jone of Denerim
RECIPIENT: Everybody who wants to deal with this bullshit
NOTES: Swearing, possibly actual violence.

I seen what happens to folk with no hope left, or no money, or no food, and how it changes a lad. I seen how it makes them weary and easy bait for sharks and conmen and the worse sort of evil that simple humans bring. Slavers and turncoats have their reasons, but they made the choice. They don't deserve sympathy.

I also have dreams, fearful things and not, about folk betraying or hurting me. And if I woke from that dream with the thought, I better get meself some revenge on those cunts, I'd be even more a bell end than I already am.

But I understand some of you lot want revenge for your dreams. And if you daft cunts really need it, have it out. I killed more than I can proper remember in that bloody dream, and I enjoyed it. I was a monster in both, because I'm always the monster, but I'm sure you lot will only care for the one where I betrayed you, and I did. And I had fun with it.

For every one of you wants revenge on some bugger had the poor luck to end up in a dream where they hurt you, come at me. You lot get one hit each, open or closed hand, I don't care where. No weapons or gauntlets. I'll be in the training yard, easy as fuck to find: I'm the six foot bitch with red hair.

And if that don't satisfy you, will killing a fool really do it? Will rounding 'em up? Shunning 'em? Seeing as they ain't done you no harm but a nightmare.

And, Si? A word, mate.

Don't feel so great about people who did stuff in the dreams getting beaten up. Might start a habit.

[poleaxed]

If any cunt tries going after you, tell me. I'll fix it.

[muckspout]

What if they all do?

[poleaxed]

Ed, luv. I kill dragons.

[muckspout]

[Hold on.]
dragonS? multiple dragons?

[poleaxed]

Ain't no one told you? I'm a Reaver, mate. Half my money came in, last few years, from getting dragons off rich Orlesian's property.

[muckspout]

Alright. B-but, multiple dragons at once?

[poleaxed]

Eh, never two all grown at once, but I been stuck with drakes and dragons. Clearing out nests, like.

[muckspout]

[In awe.]

That is very impressive! But, still think beating up all of Riftwatch won't help matters too much. Appreciate that you would though.

[poleaxed]

Fight all of-? Ed, lad, who's come after you?

[muckspout]

No one yet. But they might. And then it'll get more angry by getting one angry and then suddenly it's all of Riftwatch.
[It's how it worked in the dream. Why wouldn't it be the same?]

[poleaxed]

[She listens carefully, and realizes her stupidity- he's scared, of course he is. That's the sort of person he is. She forgets, sometimes, how fragile people let themselves be.]

I won't let that happen.

[muckspout]

Sometimes things happen anyway! Even when you try to stop them.

[poleaxed]

Yeah. But then there's me. I'm sticking around.

[And she needs to believe in her own power, or there's no reason to keep on living.]

[muckspout]

Yeah? [You can hear the smile in his voice.] Glad to hear it. Don't beat too many of them so you cannot stick around.

[poleaxed]

Don't worry, luv; most of them can't be bothered with all this. A good thing, I reckon.

[muckspout]

[A breath of relief. He is worrying.]

Very good thing. Alright. Will try not to.
