[ 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.

They don't know that she's a hard mistress that'll crunch them up and spit them back out, grind the mess under her heel.

[Roll with him on that analogy there, he likes it best that way. Also if you lie about caring about things, people don't know that you do.

This is his great logic right here.]

[aforethought]

They oughta. Fuck knows she's painted up for it on the posters.

[ everyone selling this seedy image of the city; real folks just thrown in for background pieces ]

Your turn now.

[ for a question ]

[Yngvi could say a great deal about that period with the Champion but this is very public and he'd rather not, he's being not smarter but maybe tactical?]

Nevarran funeral thing with the whole nicely scented walking corpse spirit thing or Avvar where you get left out for the birds to come eat you?

[Funerals on the mind and always good to whittle down the options when you're Inquisition.]

[aforethought]

Shit, [ a whistling breath ] What's wrong with burning up half-proper?

[ if he weren't, you know, a pansy then she'd be more worried about this being some bizarre oblique threat. instead it's just morbid. ]

I'm gonna live forever, so don't gotta pick neither. Ain't giving no one the satisfaction of eating or possessing me, fuck that.

[ you see one possessed body, it's enough. you see one chewed up by wolves, it's enough. immortality it is. ]

[inagutterson]

'Cause then it's all just ash and dust we're all chokin' in and eventually it'll cover everything?

[Asked as if to say why isn't everyone thinking this? Because you should.]

Wouldn't you wanna come back as a whole load of birds to just rip out some eyes though? Or shit on some heads? Be that ill wind folk talk about with a glance off for miles.

[Yngvi thinks about this shit a lot Melys don't even.]

[aforethought]

Like the world's any better covered in crows.

[ scavengers are alright. but they've got a time and place, and that doesn't bloody well include ripping at their own kind. she's given up bits enough.

(and honouring andraste, just a little at the end, well. going to need all the points she can get, won't she?) ]

So what'll we do if you bite it, then? Just toss out some breadcrumbs, what?
