[Video] failing to find the familiar

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[the camera cuts on to Alleyana staring at everyone dead center]

[and she continues to stare]

[and stare]

This is bullshit.

[whelp]

If any of my people are here, come find me. If anyone from my world is here who wasn't one of my people, come find me. Especially if you've got a problem with me.

[Alley tilts her head to one side, her scarred upper lip curling in a half-sneer, half-smirk; it's all challenge]

I could use a fight.

[she reaches forward with her one existing hand, as though to cut the feed]

Comments

[lasergrenades]

[Wow. Wow. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the turtle this morning.]

If you're in the mood to hit someone, you could go jump in the Jagaiz rings over in Hatal.

[It's a genuine suggestion; presumably the newcomer will let them explain the rules before she accidentally kills her opponent.]

Welcome to Keeliai, for what it's worth.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[Alley pauses instead of turning off the camera, and lets her single hand drop back down again.]

Jagaiz rings?

[It's quite possible this is a little bit of an information gathering tactic for the gruff Inquisitor.]

What's that, like a combat arena?

[lasergrenades]

Yeah, they're for sport though. They'll give you a weapon that's designed to zap participants rather than kill them so they can come back for more.

[It's public knowledge, so there's no problem sharing it out.]

Oh, and you can win prizes.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

...Zap?

[Alleyana makes a face at that. Which is considerable, considering the way her face already looks like it lost a fight with both a wall and a hatchet.]

I like fighting; not killing. But I'm more of a... full contact kind of combatant.

[Almost as though to make the point, she reaches up with the blackened dragonbone bar that is her left forearm and scratches her jaw with the end of it. Hand? What hand.]

[lasergrenades]

Er. The weapons have an electrical charge to them. So technically 'electrocute' might be more accurate, but it's also a way of counting hits to figure out who wins.

[...that sure was a metal rod for a hand. Pepper does her best not to gape, but she still looks a bit shocked. Then again, it fits with the scars.]

Well, there's still, like, punching allowed. And there are a few dojos in the city, like the one I train at. The students probably aren't quite up to your level yet, though. [Although the teachers might be. She doesn't want to volunteer anyone without asking. That said:] If the rings aren't your style I might be able to ask a... friend if she'd be up for going a few rounds.

[Because volunteering a part of her soul made so much more sense than volunteering a separate person.]

[Sanzo sensed a kindred spirit. He'd been at a console only to make a similar message, at Amberdrake's request, and had been failing at working up the willingness to do so.]

I don't know who the fuck you are but if you're looking for a fight, I can give you that.

[His tone and expression were dismissive rather than outright challenging but boy could he use an actual fight!]

[Video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[Alley drops her hand instead of turning off the camera, and gives Sanzo an obvious once-over. Well, what the one-armed woman can see of him on the screen, anyway.]

I dunno, I try not to fight string-beans.

[Kindred spirit indeed.]

[badly_behaved_priest]

[Sanzo damn near visibly bristled at that response.]

I'm used to fighting cocky bitches, I think you can handle it.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

I don't know...

Is that wood thing supposed to be armor? Because you should demand a refund.

[badly_behaved_priest]

[Oh he really was going to have a fight now!]

Robes scare you that bad, huh?

[Video]

[purered]

I should take your anger to mean the basics of the situation have, at least, been explained.

I'm mostly certain the welcome center would have told you, but it bears repeating - the Midnight Hotel has rooms available to newcomers with soulgems. And those without, we can at least provide reasonable accommodation until you're returned to your home world.

[Video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Mn.

[Alley un-leans from the camera, apparently willing to let the feed run a while longer.]

This isn't act-u-ally the weirdest thing to happen to me.

[Alley is well-aware how weird that sounds, all things considered.]

The Hotel was mentioned, but didn't sound like my bag. A lot of trouble tends to happen around me...

[Never mind she was just inviting trouble out-right on the comm system. Shh. May as well roll out the welcome mat for the chaos that's going to come knocking anyway, right?]

You work there, or something?

[Video]

[purered]

[This gets a small rumble of laughter from somewhere up on Klaus's upper slopes.]

You already have a fair bit in common with many residents then.

[He sobers quickly though.]

I usually keep track of the books, though I am temporarily filling in for the proprietor; Anton Shudder.

[Video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[Alley raises one scarred eyebrow. At least she doesn't seem offended.]

The weird bit, the trouble bit, or both?

[Video]

[purered]

Both, though I know the latter applies particularly for quite a few.

[holbydelboy]

Please don't beat anyone up too much, because then it becomes my problem.

Video

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[Alley leans back from having been about to turn the camera off, and smirks again. It's not any prettier this time, stretching the scars like that.]

I only really beat up the ones who deserve it.

[She pauses, remembering Bull and the stick.]

Okay, and the ones who literally ask for it. You a guard of some sort?

Video

[holbydelboy]

Nurse. So I literally have to take care of it.

Video

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Nurse?

[Alley's face looks like it lost a fight -- or more than one -- with a hatchet and a wall, respectively. She's not particularly familiar with modern medicine.]

Video

[holbydelboy]

Like a doctor, but cleans more bedpans out.

[A pause.]

I fix people who get hurt.

[video]

[undercherryblossoms]

If a fight is what you're seeking, I could be your sparring partner.

I could use a fight myself.

[video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Hn, maybe.

[Alley unleans from the camera.]

Mostly I'm looking for people with a problem. You got one yet?

Re: [video] (ooc: yay, DA:I. :) I've barely begun playing, mine's a female Quanari

[undercherryblossoms]

I don't, but I wouldn't want to get 'rusty'. And I thought that was your wish as well.

[video] (ooc: good -- is GOOD GAME :D)

[inquisitor_lavellan]

True, I'm just not used to people volunteering so fast.

Re: [video] (seems so. I love DA:O and DA2, so.)

[undercherryblossoms]

Then, if you're not busy, shall me meet and spar?

I can use sword or Zaiphon. Or both.
