[ without preamble, ]

So here’s what: You make up two choices. Maybe they’re both shit, or maybe they’re both alright, but you say them — then you gotta say which one you’d pick, if you had to.

And maybe why. And then everyone else’s gotta answer too. Like this, 

Would you rather not be able t'lie, or only be able to? 

— And no one gives a damn for who you’re fucking or who fucked you over, so don’t go dragging that mess in here or I’ll puke on your shoes.

If I'm going to be covered in bites or stings either way, then, I'll take the stings. I mean, bee stings hurt like a bastard, but not for that long, whereas I once saw a spider bite take half the skin off a man's arm. Lucky for him he didn't get bit somewhere else. Which would be a concern, bathing in a whole tub of 'em.

Could I wear my armor under the bees? That would be even better.

[faithlikeaseed]

[how about you don't even get to wear clothes, ashlock]

We-ell, the idea would be to go about your day in an ordinary fashion while covered in bees, so you'd have to wear your armor, I s'pose.

[paladingus]

[sponsor your bee swarm by promising templar nudity, what could go wrong]

That's...true.

Could I add the helmet? I don't usually wear the helmet.

[faithlikeaseed]

[absolutely nothing could go wrong; he'll be covered in bees, after all; how's that for enforcing chastity]

What, and rob the world of your pretty face?

Yeah, you can add the helmet.

[paladingus]

[would it even work on Myr though]

I'm never one to turn down a compliment, but for all you know about my face, bee stings could be an improvement.

...they wouldn't be, though. [It is important to him that people know this.] So I appreciate the helmet.

[faithlikeaseed]

[myr respects bees too much to hurt them by trying to get frisky with the person they're sitting on]

Good to hear that, ser. [The grin's audible in his voice. Score one for the mage.]

[aforethought]

You sure about that? Maybe you oughta describe the face.

[paladingus]

Serviceable.

[Vanity is a sin, humility is a blessed virtue before the Maker, etc. etc.]

[faithlikeaseed]

[Incredulous,] "Serviceable".

Come on. It's not vanity to go into a little detail.

[chantry boys be all on the same wavelength]

[paladingus]

But it's weird if it's your own face. You're not supposed to go describing yourself. How could anyone trust your assessment?

[faithlikeaseed]

Well, I mean--most of them could verify your veracity next they saw you, ser.

[paladingus]

Present company excepted, though, so we're back where we started.

[faithlikeaseed]

Someone or other around here will certainly hear you and be able to tell me if you're exaggerating or not.

serviceable. ser-vice-able. do you get it. do you guys get it.

[aforethought]

Clearly's exaggerating, if he won't even tell no one on it.

/groan -- but also true

[faithlikeaseed]

You've got a point, but I don't want to make any rash assumptions without full information.

You'll have to go look at him and report back.

[really he's only doing this for the sake of humor

and not any other reasons

nope]

get out

[paladingus]

I'm being modest. It's piety. I have a perfectly fine face, my hand to the Maker.

What's yours look like then, dog lady? [He has no idea who Melys is, but he'll never pass up an excuse to latch onto a Fereldan accent and make fun.]

[aforethought]

[ whoa whoa WHOA whoa whoa

what was that? what was the signal to mess with a chantry boy? with a sudden (false) aggression, ]

You calling me a bitch, now?
