Fuck me.

[That's it that's the post.

If you're not a member of the Seelie court, that is. After another moment -- or a few -- the audio and the lock switch on.]

[Audio; Seelie-locked]

[The following is the sound of a Glaswegian who is both exhausted and quietly trying to sustain his brittle grasp on reality.]

Right, this message ought to only be goin' out to members of the, ah, Seelie Court. Hoping there's a friendly soul somewhere in the area of Daonna who can help a poor traveler in gettin' to the castle. Supposedly those fluttery lights were meant to drop me off at it, but I guess they got lost somewhere on the Yellow Brick Fucking Road.

Bargained my way into a room at the inn temporarily, but I don't wanna find out how the pig man's gonna make me pay once I run out of currency. I hear one of their orgasms lasts for half an hour.

[All right, Malc, reign it in for a minute. You've got no clout here, and you want these people to want to help you out, right?

Right.]

Any assistance would be [and here he is trying really hard to be cordial and professional:] greatly appreciated.

[ Here is the sad part about all of this, Reyna normally might be willing to help. No one deserves to be stranded when they're a fellow Seelie.

But at the same time, there are certain people who rub her just the wrong way and while normally at home she might be willing to swallow her annoyance and help anyway, this case is different. She doesn't have to help him and if it takes him that long to ask for help— well he can wait a bit. ]

Walk. Try and not act the way you're acting and maybe someone might give you a ride to Caer Glaem. [ It's then that the horse on her end of the locket actually makes his presence known and she has to shush it for a moment. ] I've heard there's also a ring near there that might take you to one closer to Caer Glaem but I haven't tried them.

So that's a 'no' on the assistance, then.

[Telling him to be nicer and pointing out something he already knew doesn't endear her to him, either. She doesn't have to help, but he doesn't have to beg her -- not if, at the very least, he may be able to hitchhike on someone else's cart.]

I'm not near Daonna.

[ That's technically a true statement because she isn't but she could hypothetically ride there if she had the inclination. It's just that she lacks the inclination. ]

You said any assistance would be appreciated. Just because it wasn't the specific assistance of rescuing you from where you found yourself doesn't mean it was a no. It just means I offered what I could in the way of assistance.

Yeah, fine, whatever.

[Barely paying attention to her now. How do you shut off the conversation...? He more or less activated the locket by accident, so now he's not sure how to exit. Should he just close the lid?]

Are you always this dismissive when you don't get what you want?

Nah. Only when I'm on my period.

I wonder how you have any blood in you in that case. Are you sure you can even make the trip back to Caer Glaem?
