Humans! [ Good, now that he has your attention. ] There is a sickness aboard this vessel, a Dark Beast that harbours rot and the ruin of any that approach it. I, myself, suffered injuries that have now healed. It is a skilled foe that walks in shadow, a warrior of the forsaken. It does not bleed when wounded or hesitate to give harm and it will kill you, should you be fool enough to challenge it. Unless, of course, it decides to keep you alive for sport — those mortals who deliberately put themselves at risk do so at their own peril. If you believe you are strong, I am here to tell you that you are not. Keep your corpses to a minimum. 

Specifically: it carries a great chain that burns like embers, knows your mind and moves at incredible speed. Thranduil is aware of this demon, as are all those of Elvenkind aboard. 

[ Nuada, who brings the network this message from the corridors where he is patrolling, peers into the camera with wolflike gold eyes. You may have seen them around recently, instead belonging to one massive six-foot hound. ]

To those who are not human, I say this; stay with your brothers and sisters, send word over a secure line if any of you are attacked. All manner of Aes Sidhe, from my world or not, are my concern.

[ What else? His manner eases ever so slightly, as it is wont to do between comrades. ]

Loki — we must speak concerning the forging of your weapon. It is time to take up arms worthy of your skill, my friend.

I can't see it, or you don't want me to?

[disfavour]

Both.

[ . . . ]

Fine. I'll go wander the halls or something. [ like he shouldn't be doing at all. feel bad you jerk elf, kicking him out of the forge to possibly get maimed or something in the hallways. ]

Go to the gardens or the kitchens. [ Don't be an idiot, Idiot. >:c ] Court someone. Surely there is more for you to do on this ship than you have bothered to discover.

[bullshead]

Court someone? [ see this face? this is the face of someone who has seemingly just choked on his own air or something. ] I'm not─ [ he frowns. as if that is going to hide the fact he is spluttering. ]

I want to work the forge, that's all.

[ Wow, and then Nuada realised he was surrounded by virgins. ]

You cannot always be in the forge when master smiths need its use. A hundred men and women from countless worlds and possibilities, and none of them capture your interest. Boy, you will lead a very short life — perhaps more so, here. [ Tilting his head. ] Take it from someone six-thousand years old when I tell you to get out more.

[ aND LEAVE THE FORGE ALOOOONE. ]

[ how is this conversation happening? HOW IS THIS CONVERSATION HAPPENING? ]

It's big enough for more than one person can work in it. You just want me gone because you think I'll steal your elf secrets. [ yes, he is totally focusing on this and not the fact nuada is telling him to go find a lady. ] I'm stronger than I look and don't care what magics you use. Magics been gone from my home longer than the dragons, I wouldn't be able to copy it anyway.

[ ─ woah, hold up a second. ]

You're six thousand years old?

video;

[disfavour]

You could not "steal my elf secrets" if you tried, rest assured.

[ Thousands of years of training banged out my Gendry in an hour? That would be hilarious to see. ]

Yes, I am. Do you usually judge people based on appearances?

[ WOW, GENDRY THE ~ASSHOLE~ ]

video;

[bullshead]

I know. [ which is a sad fact to him. but he can accept it. whatever magics nuada uses to crafts his blades are beyond gendry's skill. ]

No. [ has he called you a freak? no, no he has not. ] You just don't look it. [ it's a compliment, really. ]

[disfavour]

I would be over thirty of your human years, by comparison.

video;

[bullshead]

You're lucky then.

video;

[disfavour]

How so?

video;

[bullshead]

Most men are dead by thirty. [ spoiler: everyone in westeros dies. ]

[disfavour]

Elves die. There was a great war with mankind which proved dire indeed for my race before we pushed back the tide of humanity.

[ And the Golden Army did its duty wonderfully, in Nuada's opinion. ]

video;

[bullshead]

[ more frowns. ] A war over what? What did they do? [ a crown? a throne? ]

I am just threadjacking all over the place I'm so sorry

[wolfchild]

He is not courting.

[ she will get a chair and bitchslap you where you stand if you suggest that again don't think she won't. ]

np!

[disfavour]

I really do not have the willpower to care, one way or another. You are Arya, yes?

[wolfchild]

That's what I said. [ in her post. ] And my brother too. [ like ten minutes prior. ]

[disfavour]

I would appreciate any effort on your part to keep Gendry alive while he is out of the forge tonight, I have business there. Can you do that?

[ He has his uses and a dead assistant would suck. ]

[wolfchild]

He's not going to die.

[ if he does, she will find a way to revive him so she can kill him herself. ]

[disfavour]

I did not think he would while in your company.

[ Memories of a little girl yelling at a giant wolfhound, etc. ]

[wolfchild]

Why do you need him gone so badly?

[disfavour]

A new sword is being forged, the basic components of which I will need to implement during the initial creation. He would disturb the nature of the raw magic.

[wolfchild]

[ sounds legit. ]

He won't disturb you.

[disfavour]

My thanks. [ Arya is three times sharper than that boy, also legit. ] We met the other day in engineering, you and I. It was not my intent to startle you.
