Loyalty or No SV you Are the Daedra

Reader mode
[X] "Well, its true that I dont understand fully, but that's more because I was never in your position, not because I am a daedra. Technicaly, the only deadra here is the dude I am repressing in the back of my head, the rest of us are pretty normalish. Regardless, I do know one thing, and that is that its usualy best to deal with loss with others. For now at least, you have me and Diana around to talk to, even if we're not the best support possible, we are at least here and available for you. Speaking of Diana, where is she?"
-[X] Look for Diana.
 
[X] believe it or not some of " us" do actually understand what your going though. this body is a Dedra but as we have said before the majority of us are... "Mortals" in a weird sense of the word. all of us know death and most of us have experienced Loss of those we love at some point or another. some to violence, some to old age, some to accidents, some even to religious crazes like the Brotherhood... I think it gets kind of messed up up in here .*sigh* what we're trying to say is that we're with you Morlia till the end. if killing the Brotherhood of assholes will ease your pain we will do that for you because that's right thing to do.
 
[X] "So this whole quest was... What, a suicide mission for you? Were you intending to go out in a blaze of glory? Heh. I'm not sure if you're lucky or unlucky to have summoned us. Look, I'm... We're not some mindless fighting servant. And we're not going to sit by and watch you run into certain death. First, we're going to make sure you're successful. And hopefully, along the way, we can help you find new meaning in life."
-[X] "When I say 'we', I'm of course referring to the multiple voices in my head, many of whom are quite sympathetic by the way... But I'm also referring to Diana too. We are here for you. You're not alone."
--[X] "Actually, where is Diana right now? I'd get up to look for her, but I just finished saying how you aren't alone. So... Shall we?"
---[X] Offer her our hand.
[X] Find Diana, subtly ask for help. Are we even capable of subtlety?

    • "So this whole quest was.... What, a suicide mission for you? A chance to go out in a blaze of glory?" Morlia nods miserably and you laugh slightly, a soft 'heh' of amusement. Morlia sniffs and glare at you. "Look, I'm not sure if you're lucky or unlucky to have summoned us. I... we're not some mindless fighting Servant and we aren't going to sit by and watch you run into certain death." None of you could possibly stand to do nothing if that were to happen.

    "Then I'll un-summon you before...."

    "Hey!" It's not quite a shout but it makes her jump all the same. "First off, we are going to make sure you win against those bastards. Believe it or not some of us know something about loss, maybe not violent loss but still.... What I... heh, what We are trying to say is that we're with you all the way, for better or worse, because it's the right thing to do. Not just the We that is my head Morlia, we as in me and Diana. We're all here for you, crazy head voices and former-necromancers alike. You're not alone in this." Morlia sniffs a couple more times then starts rubbing at her eyes slowly.

    "Thanks Fast, I... I don't know what to think but thank you for saying all that." Her voice is still thick with tears, shed and unshed both, but she does seem a little more cheerful, on the outside at least. "Thank you for being summoned."

    "Just try and remember most of us up here," you tap the side of your helmet. It rings hollowly. "Are mortals, death and loss we understand. If you wanna talk one of us will always be around with something relatively helpful to say." At least, you hope this was helpful, he reaction rather suggests that is has been helpful to her already if only a little bit.

    "Actually, thinking about Diana and how she's here for you, where exactly is she? I mean, I'd go look but I kinda just made this whole speech about us all being in this together so," you offer her one large blue crystal gauntlet, "shall we?"

    "Wait a moment..." Morlia says and starts desperately wiping at her eyes and cheeks with her sleeves. You watch a little bemused as she tries to erase all signs of her tears with woefully inadequate tools. Done as much as she can be, eyes red rimmed and shiny and cheek bones glistening suspiciously damply, she takes your hand.

    You rise, pulling her up with you, and look around for where you last saw Diana. Since the rest of the makeshift camp is set up neatly you guess she's gathering firewood or something. There's some broken branches and twigs in precisely the opposite direction someone would take to get to the road. You follow the trail through several bushes.

    You nearly run right into Diana, her arms full of firewood, and she looks up at you confused. "Uh... hi? Was I a long time or something?"

    "Uh..." subtle... subtle how does a giant suit of armour do subtle? "Kinda, yeah, we were a little worried you might get into trouble alone out here." Oh yeah giant suits of armour don't really go in for subtle, you can't wink at her her pull expressive faces or anything....

    "Actually maybe, like, you girls could girl talk or something 'cause Morlia's been complaining that she can't... discuss... dresses with me.... Um...." You sort of push Morlia towards Diana with one hand and scoop the firewood out of her arms with another and flee.

    ~*~

    "Morlia."

    "Yes Diana."

    "Was Fast being weirder than usual?"

    "I think that was Fast trying to be subtle."

    "Huh...."

    "...."

    "So... what did Fast want me to talk to you about? Or am I just more huggable than a giant spiky suit of armour?"

    "...sorry, I'll stop."

    "...." Diana Hug Attack Launch!!!!

    "That doesn't mean you should hug me!"

    "Yes it does."

    [ ] What do before/during the night watch?

    Haha! Schedule! Yes! Apparently putting a big red note in the sig works... good to know.

    Brought tears to my eyes and a grin to my mouth, it did.

    Um, what to do at night.

    This is good for while the ladies sleep.

    [X] Practice sword Flurry
    [X] Keep watch
    [X] Practice Spark on a safe target

    Until they go to sleep, however...

    [X] Think up and practice witty one-liners
    -[X] Ask the ladies for their opinions or good lines to say
    [X] Just make small-talk, joke around and stuff.
    -[X] Get to know them better, miscellaneous things like age, favorite color, combat capabilities... Maybe that last one can wait.
    --[X] If they ask the same of us, remind them that there are dozens of different opinions floating around in our head. Otherwise answer as truthfully and honestly as possible (author discretion)
    [X] Keep the fire going to provide warmth at night.

    Note that these are horribly out of order. Anybody want to fix them, I'll copy/paste it from you. Thanks!

    I'm a little leery about doing anything flashy or attention-intensive while we are on guard duty, because it ames us less effective at it. Practicing sneak, on the other hand, involves paying close attention to our surroundings, and is by definition subtle.

    Before the night watch:
    [X] Think up and practice witty one-liners
    -[X] Ask the ladies for their opinions or good lines to say
    [X] Just make small-talk, joke around and stuff.

    --[X] If they ask the same of us, remind them that there are dozens of different opinions floating around in our head. Otherwise answer as truthfully and honestly as possible (author discretion)

    During the night watch:
    [X] Level your sneak skill by continually sneaking around the camp, alert for any intruders.
    -[X] Keep an eye on the fire, topping it up occasionally.
     
    Eh, looking at it, I feel like with our low sneak skill we're likely to screw up and wake them.

    But then I remember that it's replacing sword practice and shooting lightning from our hands, and have to to laugh at my silliness.

    So... since we seem to be going for the 'make random small talk' and 'practice one liners' I'm gonna ask for people who would like to post suggestions, either about Fast's possibly various favourite colours etc and one liners to post their suggestions. Just to give some idea of what you're thinking and what kind of references Fast's hive-mind would make.

    I warn you if you leave the one liners up to me they will all be from various Bond Films. :p

    Maybe stuff like:
    • What sorts of things they like,
    • what sorts of things they like doing in their free time.
    • Mention that while the voices that speak through 'fast' vary wildly in character, temperament and taste, there are two things that bind us all together: a love of fooling around on the internet, and in particular of taking part in the forum after which we were named, "sufficient velocity". (it sounds better in our language).
    • Make an attempt to explain the internet: "Are you at least vaguely aware that the late dwemer had various machines that could kinda compute information in various ways? Imagine something akin to that, but far more mechanically sophisticated, whose insides run on lightning, cleverly manipulated so that the way it moves mirrors logical operations, which can compute and represent more or less anything if properly set up. These contraptions are known as "computers", because sometimes we are shit at naming things. Now imagine a world much more populous, interconnected and peaceful than Mundus, on which most people, in the richer countries at least, own one of these computers, and that most of those computers are connected to each other by an enormously complicated network of electricity and information called the "internet", over which one could, in principle, use any one of these computers to exchange information with any other computer. Those of us controlling fast mostly use it to tell each other bullshit stories and look at cute pictures of cats.

    "Many of these stories are speculating about the love affairs and private lives of various fictional characters or people from history. Right now, they're imagining you (Morlia) getting jiggy with just about everyone you've ever met, but especially you and Diana, drawing pictures of you hugging and kissing and doing - well, you know - with each other. Basically, what I'm saying is that thousands of extradimensional pervs are watching every move you make, hoping sexy times are gonna start. Anyway... sleep tight!"

    Well, maybe it'd be a mistake to describe the internet in that much detail.

    Not... exactly the sort of thing likely to fill them with confidence, no. :p
     
    I, redzonejoe, suggest that our favorite color be red.

    One liners should include such things as:

    "My name is fast enough, you killed her *nods toward morlia* father, prepare to die."

    "You fool! You're already dead, you just haven't realized it yet!"

    "Oh, I didn't notice you there. You musn't be worth noticing."

    "Die."

    "Die!!!"

    "Please die."

    "Why. Won't. You. DIE!?!"

    "Oh, he died. Hah! All according to keikaku. Keikaku means plan."




    Also, we can play the flute.
     
    Whenever our random super strength sword swings brutally kill somebody.

    "CRITICAL HIT!"

    Frankly it'd be more in character to be a one man band.

    I see what you did there. What would the color 'zone' look like, I wonder?

    As for the instrument, I can't actually play the flute myself, I just thought that playing a wind instrument through our crystal face would be neat. We could go trumpet.

    Only when we actually roll a critical hit.
