[3wayforjustice]

Oh for -- !

[The mage sputters for a few moments, and then draws closer to the journal. And, as usual, he sounds annoyed with life.]

Very well, I'll say words into your book. Just stop writing all over me.

It's ridiculous! What if I've nothing to say to you? What then?

[cellwave]

Then you'll be covered in ink forever, I guess!

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

It has to come off some other way.

[Audio]

[cellwave]

Besides Deior or whoever is in charge of them deciding to release you from it? I doubt it. Even trying to carve it off doesn't do any good.

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

Carve --!

You didn't.

[Audio]

[ignitethestars]

... Who is writing all over you?

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

Whoever is in charge of this wretched place.

If we fail to follow their rules, we're subjected to grave irritation.

[Audio]

[ignitethestars]

Can't you just ... move? Or physically stop them?

[He so doesn't know about the whole journal writing thing yet.]

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

No. Because it's some sort of magic.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

Simple, they turn your face into another journal.

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

As usual, you're not funny.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

You just don't have a sense of humor.

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

Now, if only you could remember that, we'd both be happy.

[Audio]

[idkmybffwolverine]

I wonder what would happen if you just ignored it. Do you think anyone's tried it?

[Audio]

[3wayforjustice]

Do you see anyone walking around, coated in strange writing? If not, then perhaps it's safe to assume that no, no one has.

[dalen]

Writing all over you...? Are you trying to become Dalish?

[3wayforjustice]

I would sooner become Tranquil than attempt to be anything like you.

[dalen]

[Ouch.]

That's unfair and you know it! Are all shemlen like you?

[Seriously, why does she even bother trying to talk to this guy?]

[3wayforjustice]

Only to unrepentant blood mages.

[hidingnolonger]

Totally frustrating, right.

[3wayforjustice]

If I were capable of erasing it, I would. I shouldn't be required to write every little thought to keep markings off my bloody skin.

[hidingnolonger]

Oh, I totally agree. It's -- so silly.

It's definitely freaky too.

[3wayforjustice]

I wouldn't say "freaky", so much as "annoying" and "insipid".

[allthesame2me]

[Alex is grinning rather wryly, dearest Mage.]

Oh, I dunno... I think it's an okay look for you. Hopefully, they're not the lyrics of some terrible song.

[Teasing. Alex does it.]

[3wayforjustice]

No. Just the usual incomprehensible squiggles.

[allthesame2me]

[Alex grins all the more at this.]

Ahh, but what if those incomprehensible squiggles are some horrendous love ballad in another language?
