1. That's why you don't touch your things after fingering someone

2. I just got invited to go home with a married couple...

3. Never underestimate the healing power of vomiting and a bath.

4. I woke up this morning in the inn, I didn't realize it was physically possible to Mage Hand a person to the wall...

5. It's a combination of amazing lack of coordination, bad luck, and sheer determination to cause destruction wherever we go.

Well, I certainly wasn’t going to manage it on my own strength. So I had to get creative.

…it was Mage Hand AND Hold Person.

Fascinating!

Now, if I could inquire as to why you did this.

[personal profile] willoftheblackbird 2023-10-13 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You… don’t remember anything that happened last night?

In that case, consider the reason preventing you from doing something you’d probably regret.

This sounds like an excuse to me. One can simply choose to not cause destruction, can't they? Now, if you're talking about something happening outside of your hands, that's different.

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-13 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It is forever outside of my hands, Lady.

Were it in my hands, the destruction would be as a controlled burning rather than a wildfire.

Just... add water? I guess if it were that easy, it wouldn't be the mess you're in. I'm not sure I necessarily believe in bad fortune. Could it be that you've been hexed?

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hexed only with traveling company as unpredictable as a clowder of Gremishkas, my Lady, and twice as ornery.

Think of it this way. The lack of predictability breeds the path for adventure. At least you can say it's not likely to ever be a dull moment. Perhaps not what you would expect, but rarely do things go exactly as we plan them to.

Duly noted.

Thank you, for holding my hair back, by the way. Challenging Karlach to a drinking contest certainly wasn't one of my brighter moments, I'll admit.

For what little consolation it may be, the two of you seemed to enjoy yourselves immensely prior to that bout of sick.

I hope the morning finds you better, unlikely as that might be.

Her enthusiasm is rather infectious, isn't it? Hard to practice any sort of restraint when she's encouraging you to drink your entire body weight in cheap booze, and wholeheartedly believes you can do it!

...I'm conscious, aren't I? I suppose I should take that as a win, in this instance.

A shame all that liquor wasn't enough to well and truly pickle the tadpole swimming around in my skull, though.

"Conscious" is surely not the bar that I mean to set.

Can I help, my friend?

And? Any good news? Any very funny and bad news? Did you get to snoop around and see what their floor plan is like?
gwilym: (29)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well.

No, not really.

I declined and bid them a good evening.

Then there is nothing new under your Lord's sun. Were they so disagreeable? Or just not what you would have liked? I can tell you, being the third is not an easy place to be. Emotionally or mathematically.
gwilym: (51)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Disagreeable, certainly not.

I suppose I don't especially relish the thought of being a... third, as you call it.

Are we dead? Well? Another day above ground should be a cause of celebration for a man like you.

[ If her remark sounds passive-aggressive, it is. ]
gwilym: (16)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Just so.

But as well, "are we dead" is not so high a bar to aspire to, Lady.

Particularly where my want to minimize casualties is concerned.
radiatingsoul: (05)

[personal profile] radiatingsoul 2023-10-14 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Lady.

[ The sound filtered through her sallow lips does not grace their correspondence. As for aspirations, she has reason to entertain few. ]

I'll be worm food before you keel over under the strain of your nobility. But don't fret, I may be a Dark Priest but I won't sacrifice the peasantry.

Well, unless you're on board. I could minimize the death toll by sacrificing one of these yokels.
gwilym: (6)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Neither their death or yours shall come to pass, for as long as I may have my say in things.

[ your funger pessimism holds no power over the Sunshine Man ]

I am not such a fool that I tie our hands from any and all hostilities. But we must at least make an effort to minimize our impact and casualties.

Why, Sir Godfrey. I would have never thought I'd hear such scandalous advice from you.
gwilym: (14)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
You may rest, Astarion, for it comes from somewhere far less salacious than you seem to think.

Fatherhood has entreated me to a certain frankness where handling bodily waste is concerned.
sangwhine: (08)

[personal profile] sangwhine 2023-10-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, such a disappointment. Though it does seem like it promises to be an interesting story.
gwilym: (46)

[personal profile] gwilym 2023-10-14 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say it's one particular story, but a consistent string of experiences, one which conspire to make what you describe feel rather plain. Much more of parenthood than you may guess is comprised of cleaning up some foul mess.

I must say that I did not expect that you would be interested in hearing such things. About my child, that is.
