W2 - TUESDAY
Bombs don't have codes-- Put the matching wires together! Green with green! Obviously! Are you color-blind?!
no subject
[ PANIC AT THE ESCAPE ROOM ]
no subject
[ flipping switches at random now, making it worse. ]
no subject
[ UNLESS?? ]
Heavens, I think you're making it worse. Start from the top! The top!
no subject
[ of course he can't identify a top.
he pulls something at random and a green lights goes on? ]
Blue wires, blue wires!
no subject
But okay, he will quickly connect the blue wires and then watch as the green light flickers off. ]
... That's not good, is it? We're going to have to live in this room for the rest of our lives, won't we?
no subject
sighing out so deeply. ]
Yes. Might as well make the most of it and get to know one another.
no subject
[ Doesn't even wait for the ok. ]
For what reason did you have to build a bomb?
no subject
he doesn't flinch, but he DOES keep messing with wires idly while he answers. ]
To destroy the Kirkwall Chantry, and kill the Grand Cleric. To make a point to the Chantry, and force both the Templars and the Mages to a head - we could no longer choke on compromises forged by the Chantry and their inability to decide or act on anything. We the mages needed to remember we can fight back. We have more teeth than they remember.
no subject
... And? Did you manage to kill the Grand Cleric?
[ He is also idly messing with the switches by flicking them up and down without rhyme or reason. ]
no subject
[ it was a big explosion.
somehow i feel like messing with the switches at random is working. the order unlocks a little drawer somewhere with a floppy disk in it. ]
It was the reason I was executed, and ended up in Heaven.
no subject
You speak on it so matter-of-factly. No regrets?
[ Pulls out the floppy disk to inspect it. ]
no subject
Not of the act itself. It was necessary to the cause. [ he shuffles his feet a little. ] But I regret what I had to sacrifice for it. Everything we had built in Kirkwall. I did my greatest effort to shield Hawke from it, but I could not protect him from everything.
no subject
[ This conversation... is entering the trenches... He will hold up the floppy disc to Anders in a bid to distract him. ]
Do you know what this is?
[ Are you ever so futuristic that floppy discs are an obsolete relic of the past. This is a fossil. ]
no subject
[ every conversation with anders enters the trenches. he is so intense and such a wet dog. but this will work, taking it. ]
I have no idea. Wait--
[ does it fit into the slot on the console. shoving it in there. there's five minutes on the countdown ... ]
no subject
... Well, Mr. Anders, it seems as though you've at least protected us from wasting away in an escape room.
no subject
Do people do this for fun? I feel as though my chest is going to explode ...
no subject
Think of it like this, you could really impress a date by bringing them here, pretending as though you've never done this before, and finishing the room in record time.
no subject
no subject
[ Actually, ]
... How many dates have you been on?
no subject
Don't make it sound as if I'm hopeless. I've had lovers. I've taken girls out to the taverns and such, gone dancing and all that. People used to buy me drinks. I think I'd probably be misunderstood if I suggested to someone if they wanted to get locked in a room together with me for an hour.
no subject
What, an upstanding guy like you? Give yourself more credit.
no subject
No, I mean, I used to be a lot more ... [ "OUTGOING." ] I had a reputation.
no subject
Goodness, is that so? What slowed you down?
w4, tuesday.
Anyway, can Anders be found anywhere without Daan glued to his hip? ]
no subject
either way, anders can be found hard at work, writing something. ]
no subject
Writing love letters?
[ COMES UP FROM BEHIND ]
no subject
he huffs, pulling his shoulders up defensively. ]
No. Regular letters. Why?
no subject
It felt like a safe guess after today's... events.
no subject
We’re both here. Why would I write him a letter, when I could just go see him anytime I wanted to.
Now did you come over here to be a sore loser?
[ whos being a sore winner now ]
no subject
[ WAS IT THOUGH ]
Not that I think it'll last very long. Sure, you're on your honeymoon period now, but give it some time...
[ HE IS JUST STARTING SHIT ]
