[ thank you for using whatever brain cells are left in that horned head of yours . ]

jesus christ we don't have to get all harakiri about it

[All WHAT?]

i dont want to exist with my mind taken over

[ WOULD YOU FOCUS ]

i get that trust me i do

but check your calendar
it isn't mass narcolepsy or giant lizards but the timing doesn't lie

so you'd be fine with me just knocking your ass down and tying you up for a few days until this wears out

until they decide to change things up on us

or until they decide things shouldnt go back to how they were before

ive had something root around in my mind until it changed me before. death would be a kindness

okay well if that ends up being the case
and you're permanently fucked over by a cheery demon

sure i'll kill you

but how about we wait a little while and see what happens, huh

thank you rafe

[He feels slightly better now. But only slightly.]

if none of this is permanent then i hope it wont last much longer

yeah don't mention it

[ not because they're friends but because this is up in the most unsettling conversations he's ever had in his life. ]

you want to discuss some of this prior mindfuck you mentioned off the cuff there, pal

it was a demon we encountered in a mages dream

its a shameful memory

Naturally, [ he says out loud, a floor away. ] Just hanging out in someone's dreams. Sounds like Tuesday.

[ :||||||| ]

you don't consider it a little ironic that you got mindfucked while fucking around someone else's head?

[Can you hear this long suffering sigh from a floor away?????????????]

there are several levels of irony to what transpired that night and none of them are lost on me thank you

[ yes, don't make him come up there. ]

so then explain it to me

[Just let him sigh.]

i told you its a shameful memory

hawke received a letter from a young mages mother asking him for help from the demons who put him into a coma. so she called on the help of the dalish to perform a ritual which allowed us to enter his dreams to defeat the demons trying to wrest control of him

hawke could only take so many people with him and i was one of them

[And he remembers clearly how he blamed Hawke for that afterwards. Why him of all people? ]

i fell prey to a demons temptations and turned on hawke

[The magic hater, the demon hater, so many levels of irony the others didn't let him live down.]

look at it this way

the way this place works at least this gives you some kind of control over telling it rather than waking up one and finding it's slapped up on a downtown billboard or something

[ hmmmmm how best to say "wish it'd been a permanent turn on that son of a bitch" ]

why did you go with him?

perhaps

[Don't say it at all!]

what do you mean? because he wanted me to go

[ except it kind of really absolutely definitely needs saying because fuck that guy. ]

but you hate most magic shit

[He sees where this is going, therefore his first instinct is to get defensive.]

yes, how observant of you to notice

it's okay, i know it's kinda subtle

the way a bellowing stampede is a minor disturbance

[ hence why rafe is staying in his room and not going up there with mr. claws and horns. ]

a testament to your observational skills

[Can we be done talking about this now???]

[ yeah, you wish. ]

so why didn't you just say no

because he asked me to go

[ Fenris may think that the radio silence that follows means he's out of the woods on this, that Rafe has decided discretion is the better part of valor and respected his partner's obvious wish to just drop the whole thing.

Fat fucking chance.

No, Rafe has just been a bit busy reading some other content on the network this evening. ]

Hey, you want to hear something else crazy going on today?

[ Called as Rafe ascends the stairs into the garret attic that Fenris has made his own, laptop balanced on one arm. ]

There's some dumbass right on the network, stole your username and everything, says he's going to be leaving the house to see Javert at the prison.

[ And he shuts the laptop with a quiet click while staring down at a certain pile of blue stupid. ]

I mean, obviously that's not you because did we not just make a fucking plan to not go out and thus avoid this particular pot of crazy?

[Fenris was right in the middle of closing his laptop and removing himself from his nest of blankets and stuffed mabari in the corner when Rafe ascends the stairs. Like a teenager caught trying to sneak out before they can even make a move he rolls his eyes and huffs out a sigh, knowing full well how ridiculous he's being, to be completely honest.]

The plan as changed, [he offers simply.] I must check on Javert.

Oh, you must.

[ One moment, opening his computer again to read: ]

"Why would you go alone?"

That was different.

[Because it's not important what happens to him.]

If his mind is not his own then I can't stand by and do nothing.

[ Yes. So clearly different — because it's about Fenris instead of Rafe, because Fenris is so much more capable and thus would be fine as a solo act but Rafe needs babysitting? Is that it? ]

...Uh huh. So then clearly the option is to stand next to him and do... [ He pauses, waiting for Fenris to tell him what exactly he plans on attempting in this bullshit crazy scheme. ] What, exactly? Scowl him back to sanity?
