eachdraidh | Video - All Courts

[To anyone familiar with Damon's office in Raven's Wing (or who's gotten a call from him while he's been in it), they'll recognize the surroundings as the locket clears and the video is visible. He's even wearing a smile, though it's a little worn around the edges.]

Still here, much to the dismay of some of you, I'm sure. But it seems that whatever the cause, not only was I brought back to this whole new world, but so were my holdings. The spire, the town, the Oasis... yes, kiddies, you heard that right. Your favorite vacation spot is still up and running. For those of you with hunks of that stupid rock in their chest still, access is as easy as stepping through a fairy ring. For those without... I'm just finishing up the new port, as it seems that our location has shifted dramatically.

[The image bounces as Damon gets up, moving out of the office and over to the balcony. He shifts the locket so that those looking through it can see.]

Yes, that's right, that's the ocean you see. Because I'm now on an island in the middle of goddamn nowhere. Well, not exactly nowhere, but for anyone that's ever been north, living on an island that's a desert climate when there's an iceberg in spitting distance is... a little odd. But, for anyone who needs it, The Oasis is here for your rest and relaxation needs. We're still set up for those with a more hemoglobin diet, including underground residences, and as the only staff I've dragged with me was Fernando, I could use more workers. Pass the word around. I have.

[There may have been notices slapped up in outlying towns on the larger mainlands, Damon able to travel quickly via both fairy ring and his flock form. But the call had ulterior motives.]

Anyone else that is maybe wondering what happened or where I am... well, now you know.

[[LOCKED TO DAENERYS]]

There's still plenty of room here with your name on it, if you're in the mood for a visit... If you're even here still.

[Nope. Not looking needy at all.]

[It's just Vanessa laughing.

At least she isn't stuck in the middle of the ocean.

She isn't where she'd like to be, but at least she isn't there.]

Yes, yes, yuck it up. So glad to amuse you, Legs.

I need something to amuse me, being here.

But I am glad to see that you are here, my dear.

[She did miss you.]

Could have fooled me.

[Petulant whiny vampire mode on? Check.]

You know me very well by now. If I wasn't happy, I would let you know.

[Come now. Buck up. At least he didn't go home to her horrible life.]

Mm, so, where was it you wound up? I'm guessing somewhere not about to be affected by global warming.

I'm near Baol Canyon and La Llorona. Where I belong.

[Which is good. Because she has plans.]

Everything is with me, as well.

[All the lovely spiders.]

Of course.

[Color him not happy.]

You'll have to excuse me if I make rude gestures outside of the screen range.

Perhaps it has to do with whatever ridiculous new factions we have been sorted into. Again.

[She rolls her eyes.]

Are you done being a child?

Mm, yes. First we're all dark and sparkly, now we're, what, named after some fat lady's jewelry collection. Wonderful. Which one did you wind up in? Ruby? Spider-gemly?

[A moment...]

Not really, but I can pretend.

Amethyst. Which is a calming stone.

[She finds that insulting.]

Well I can pretend I'm happy over this entire situation.

It's all about pretending at this point.

Maybe they were trying to soothe your inner psycho.

[He might not have met the thing possessing her, but he'd heard.]

That's all we can do, isn't it? Pretend. Keep on. Get shitfaced and deny we're still stuck here.

Manners, Damon.

[After what she's been through in her canon in the past months? ...touchy subject, Damon.]

And yes, we can get quite drunk. Deny, deny.

And plan.

They were left back on the actual island. Manners are now against the rules here. Blame the magic world-screwing gem.

[Someone doesn't care either way. What's she gonna do, scowl at him? Ow.]

Plan, plan what? We're sucked back into ye olden fairy days. Unless you plan on living for another boring amount of years to watch the same shit happen all over again.

Could you try and manage just for me?

[Please, Damon?

She has capabilities now, that are not nice. That are more than scowling.]

Oh no.

I have better ideas than that.

Well... aren't we in a mood? I thought you'd be happy, all on the big mainland away from all us dirty types.

I just spent months at home dealing with things you couldn't fathom, only to be delivered back here, and all the petty court trials. So no, I'm not amused.

Lucky you. I've been here the whole time. Not that home's much better.

You have? Then...how exactly was the transport back in time?

You didn't move between worlds at all?

Not that I'm aware of. One minute I'm in the middle of the gem, the next, I'm here. Whoopee.

I don't know if I should considering decidedly lucky, or the exact opposite.

Who knows. From what I hear, it was a variety of wild rides for some, not so much for others.

I went to two places myself, before going home.

[She frowns.]

I would have preferred skipping the latter.

Yeah, well, I would have preferred not coming here at all. I doubly would have preferred not being brought back. Seems the Stones have it right.

I could understand that.

Would you like me to visit?

I still can teleport, after all.
