A warning

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Anders, Oghren
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: People are being warned
WHEN: Current!
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Oghren. Blue is Oghren, bold is Anders.


[There's a heavy sigh before he speaks; the first speaker, Anders, might be having some serious regrets.]

We've a new Warden, or rather an old Warden returned to the group, and I've a warning to issue: if you're challenged to a drinking contest with a particularly smelly dwarf, do not take it. The Wardens are not responsible for what happens if you decide to ignore this advice. Honestly, your best bet is to steer clear altoge--what are you drinking now?

[There's some bottles clinking together followed by a loud belch before Oghren speaks up.]

You need some better alcohol. This tastes worst than actual piss. Funny color to it too.

That's not... Maker's breath, Oghren, that's not for gulping down! Put the remnants of the potions down and stop messing with them! If you puke or you die, you better do it outside this tent. I'm not responsible for that either.

[There's more clinking as Anders gathers up what remnants he can.]

What are you going on about? That wasn't ale? [There's a pause.] My ancestors fat tits, what was that, sparkle fingers?

Who would keep ale in the healing tents? That was twenty doses of emetic. Now step outside, because you are not going to get sick in here.

[There's now a grumble and some rustling.] Never heard of keeping something good around for pain. Got to have those potions instead. Can't just have a good ale or something stronger. Got to be... [The sound trails off as he heads outside.]

[There's another heavy sigh. Anders sounds like he's already exhausted when he continues.]

Don't challenge him. Just don't. And if anyone listening cares to bring additional ghoul's beard to the healing tents, I'm in need of it.

Brilliant.

'Sparklefingers'.

[Oh sweet Maker.]

I can snag some from the gardens on my way.

Oghren...you mean Warden Cousland's companion from the Fifth Blight? And he's...really a Warden?

[You sure? You can take that back, Anders, no one will hold it against you.]

OH. He's still alive!

... I really thought he had fallen off a cliff while drunk.

[Because there was no way the Anders Wardens had been able to get to the legend of Oghren.]

Ah, yes, speaking of -- are you free soonish?

You do realise that sounded less like a warning and more like a threat, right?

[Because, yeah. That's the important part to focus on. To be honest, the rest didn't matter to the Doctor, he doesn't care for the class system here and he's not in a place to help with the emetic.]

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2017-03-10 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, aye, I see. No drinking contests.

[Any hint of amusement in his tone has nothing to do with the word 'sparklefingers'. None whatsoever.

Well...maybe it does just a little.]


So what's so bad about them with this particular Warden, then?
unbrokenoath: (not sketchy at all)

[personal profile] unbrokenoath 2017-03-10 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I--

Well.

I'm glad I'm not the official drunk disaster Warden anymore.

Oh, good. Super. Our reputation around here was starting to improve, but you know how I hate that. If people start thinking we aren't rowdy unmanageable drunks, what might they expect next? Competence? Reliability? Uughh.

Why do I have the feeling the camp is about to get a lot more interesting?

If you need someone to fetch the ghoul's beard, I don't mind taking a trip to the castle. [He never minds, but you should be aware it might take longer to get it, seeing as he'll likely get side tracked by a certain pretty elf lady.]

Just make sure that this new... old... comer... doesn't disgrace our order, that's all I ask.

You mean to tell me that someone still hasn't killed him?

[She's disappointed in you, world. Not that that's anything new.]

But your pardon, my friend. What if we had the name of a competitor? One that would make for a good contest?

At the Healing Tents

[Did Cole hear the sending crystal announcement? Or does he just know what is needed? Either way, he turns up at the healing tents with a carefully wrapped bundle, virtually appearing next to Anders from thin air.]

I brought ghoul's beard.

You know- I considered how it was I would hear of you again my fine, short friend. This is more or less exactly what I imagined.
