fourth trial

[When the announcement sounds and the evidence gathered it’s time for a trial. When the remaining champions are all gathered by the docking bay doors they slide slowly slide open.

The two lines of sentry robots are there again, creating a border path from the docking bay doors to the circle of metal podiums. The podiums themselves were made of strange metals in red and gold and orange and black, each one etched with the name of one of the Champions. There are flood lights - like spot lights - in front of each podium. The lights on Oda, Akande and Leon's podiums have been turned off and their floating grey scale portraits have joined the six from last week.

Blaze Dudely stands on a repair deck on top of his ship, which looms over the proceedings ominously. His expression is still hard to read but his arms are folded across his chest and if you squint close enough there's a somberness about him that hasn't been at other trials.]


Ya'll know how this goes by now. [He's in no mood for pageantry this time.] Take the time ya need but don’t bore me.

Yeah.

[ Jerks his head toward Blaze. ]

Spikes. It's the hair.

[Looks at him, looks at Blaze. Her eyes widen.]

Oooh, I can see it.

Since when did you go in for nicknames?

[personal profile] nightcure 2017-09-16 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Been calling him that since he did the whole takeover thing.

He's always done that. At least with him.

[She remembers.]

[ ah yes, his good and beautiful daughter is here to make him have a feeling ]

... It's kinda fitting. He's not trying out to be the next Varric, is he?

I think the applications are... very different.

[One does it in an affectionate way and this one--]

It's one way to express your hatred for a person you can't do anything about.

[personal profile] empathiser 2017-09-16 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
There are other ways to do that.

[But he sees it.]
nightcure: (don't panic!)

[personal profile] nightcure 2017-09-16 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
She's right, yeah.

[personal profile] empathiser 2017-09-16 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't say she wasn't. Just saying there are other ways to not waste breath on a person.

[Making themselves give themselves up works. He's tried it.]

Don't be ridiculous. No one could ever replace me. It's the chest hair.

[personal profile] empathiser 2017-09-17 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No one's going to try and replace your chest hair, Varric. Don't worry.
tokencanadian: (Humming)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-09-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's so sweet. [Awwww sis has got a good dad.]

Been calling me viscount since we got here.
empathiser: <user name=sways> (96)

[personal profile] empathiser 2017-09-16 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Viscount", huh?

[Well. Will knows he doesn't exactly lend himself well to nicknames, so he probably wouldn't be all that aware of them happening around him.]

Saw it on his profile and ran with it.
