un: man's greatest treasure [text]

[reparo]

[While on the boat ride from hell, there's a point in the first night where Hermione decides what the hell, for morale.]

I have mint leaves for anyone who is sea-sick, so please reach out if you would like some. I can float them to your boat. Chewing on peppermint would've been better, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

[There is a pause on her end here, before she writes out the rest:]

For whoever is holding the candles lit, if you are having trouble staying awake or keeping calm, maybe we can exchange stories. Surely if we whisper into our pendants...

Oh, one more thing! Does anyone know how to change the display name on these bloody things?

un: Black Prince; text / semi-private

[blackscales]

You do not like the name?

[ Listen he cannot help it, it's right there and you drew attention to it.

ANYWAY now that he's teased he flips the feed to private for the rest of this. ]

I have something for you, once we're safely across these waters.

1/3?? public, she was waiting for the chance to ramble

[reparo]

I abhor the name! I'm sure the powers that be thought they were very clever when they used the ending of that saying, but meanwhile I've been walking around projecting myself as some sort of treasure.

[reparo]

For a MAN!

3/5 actually i'm very sorry

[reparo]

Not that I'd expect sympathy from the monarchy about that.

["Black Prince"]

[reparo]

That was meant to be a joke by the way.

5/5 FINALLY private from here

[reparo]

You have something for me.

Private, etc

[blackscales]

[ Oh this was very entertaining to watch. Wrathion cannot help but be amused by how worked up she was. ]

I am unfamiliar with the phrase in question.

[ Just putting that out there, at least partly in case it will trigger another amusing flood of frustration and partly so she doesn't think he automatically agrees with whatever it is? Just felt important to note.

Anyway. ]

I have a book for you, from Taravast.

[paperbutterflies]

It... the offer of mint leaves is appreciated.

[ He's not sure they will help if cultivation doesn't, but it's appreciated all the same. ]

[reparo]

I'll float some over to you - the offer stands. I just need to see you, raise your hand? Can you see me waving?

[Can you see her STANDING UP IN HER BOAT and WAVING LIKE A LUNATIC, Sizhui? Can you?]

[downswing]

( B a b y )


We thank the mistress.

un: absterge

[downswing]

Gratitude. Your reserves will want replenishment on land.

[reparo]

They will, but that's for then. I'm not rationing them out now when they're needed.

[They are in the same boat currently so really Anduin could be saying this aloud, but he sees that Hermione is making a network post and being curious by nature, Anduin goes to look.]

You too?

[With the display name. It's dreadful, isn't it? He glances up and gives her a half-hearted smile.]

[reparo]

[Well, it helps to stay quiet and chatting away would not be quiet. But still, they share a sheepish smile from the same boat, before Hermione replies:]

I don't know who programmed these, but it can't have been Karsa. She had no sense of humour.

[in_theworks]

I'm not losing my shit or whatever, but I'd definitely be down for story time, anyway? I mean, if you're not busy or whatever.

[since she might be busy actually distracting other people. he doesn't know. never mind the fact that, despite what he says, he probably could use a distraction himself]

[reparo]

[perks up at the thought of talking someone's ear off with a story.]

No, no, I'm not! What kind of stories do you like, Wrench?

un: polaris | text

[chromiums]

Yeah, if you've still got any.

Our candles are staying lit pretty well, but do you need help?

[reparo]

I do have some left - I can float them to you, or maybe I could tie a little metal thing around the sprigs and you can summon them?

As far as I am aware, there is no method to change one's display name. The name appears to relate to an individual personally, which begs the question of what exactly these devices can do beyond facilitate communication. I have seen display names change in the past, however, so it is possible, but not under our control.

[reparo]

Well - it's not as if I can ask Karsa for help anymore.

( Emilia is the resident light bearer in her own boat, and reading this missive brings a ghost of a smile to her face. She loves stories, a form of escapism that left her unharmed. Books were a safe indulgence for a child who was afraid, and a cautious young woman forced into hiding.

She hasn't indulged in a rather long time, consumed by one singular need to set right a terrible wrong. )

What story would you tell?

[reparo]

I have a variety of them in mind, as it turns out. What kind would you like?

@taken for granite

[rumorate]

I'm a bit curious about the name changes myself. Even if it would be terrible to let go of a quality pun.

[Because she was found surrounded by piles of rocks. Get it? Get it?]

1/2

[reparo]

[STILL A LITTLE INTIMIDATED BY YOU, ALLISON, AFTER THE WHOLE RUMOURING OF GUARDS but hello.]

Is it because you are hard as a rock?

[reparo]

Oh gods that was terrible, please don't judge me.
