CRYSTAL | MISS ME, DARLINGS?


FORM: sending crystals, during the truth event, you know what to do
SENDER: your favorite rogue, Astarion xoxo
RECIPIENT: as always, everyone
NOTES: if you drank Truth Soup, cough up your feelings; if you didn't drink the soup, make it worse for everyone, I dare you


[Someone's bored tonight. And it's been over a year since the last time he felt restlessness stirring him into needling action— particularly when he's noticed a couple of blurted-out confessions running high and harsh in the air. He could sleuth around. Sniff about for any signs of volatile tampering (or ask if this is just the next phase of whatever sleepless affliction's still nipping at everyone's collective heels)....

But this is so much more fun.

Anyway— ahem, and all that:

Name one thing you like about someone else in Riftwatch. Anything. Anything at all.

Bonus points if you feel like getting weird with it.

[And don't think he's generous enough to actually start this game himself: that, you're all going to have to do on your own.

Or maybe just ask nicely.

Sure.

[ Pinching bridge of nose. ]

Okay, I'm done. If you want you can punch me in the mouth next time I mention how much I miss my bullet blender, but at this rate I'm punching back, so.

What - done with me? Giving up?

'Giving up'? What do you think we're doing here, exactly?
bouchonne: (side-eye)

[ A slight hesitation. ]

My impression was that that…essentially meant fuck off and don’t talk to me again except for work. No?

No. Well. Maybe for the next twenty-four hours.

[ A big sigh. ]

This just feels like we're not getting anywhere good and I'm actually trying to preserve something by quitting before it totally tanks, okay? So you take that however you want.
bouchonne: (pensive)

changed my mind, prior version of tag was boring

[ Byerly takes a moment, then says - ]

It's not something I can turn off. It's not - meant to be cruel. It's just not something I can turn off. [ And, reluctantly: ] I'm sorry.

[ A beat, then; ]

Okay, well. Noted. I mean, I believe you, [ half-laughed, because: yeah. No one's lying, today. ] So I can work with that. I have worked with that.

I mean, she was a hot redhead with a wardrobe comprised exclusively of tight pants, so that earned a lot of forgiveness, but we'll figure something out.
bouchonne: (drunken pontificating)

[ He relaxes just a little. ]

So what you’re saying is I need tighter pants.
