17th Duel [Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

I like to think of myself as a patient man but I'm starting to get tired of all the games.

[Fenris is gone...again. Aveline is gone just after getting here. It's like this place is trying its hardest to piss him off.]

Also can someone tell me why there's a beating heart in my room? Beginning to believe that this Deior has more bizarre issues than me.

...It's not mine is it?

[Brb checking himself for gaping chest wound and/or stitches.]

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Is it that time of the month where you have to make some kind of horrible decision?

[It's almost like he tries to make things worse for himself.]

Let me say this again. I love Vie. In fact I proposed to Vie, something I should really thank you for bringing up in the first place.

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

No. I've always felt this.

... You can take that back. It doesn't have to stay that way.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke just stares at him, completely and utterly dumbfounded.]

Why would I want to take that back?

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

Because I love you.

[This is clearly the only argument that matters.]

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Face meet palm.]

No, you don't. You've just gone temporarily insane.

[Pause.]

More insane.

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

Yes, I do. What do I need to do to prove myself to you?

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Grow a pair of breasts and turn into Vie? That might help.

[Two Vies, now there's a thought.]

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

Be reasonable! She's got you... she's got you bewitched.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Right. Of course. Vie is a blood mage controlling my mind to love her. That makes so much sense.

[Just another blank stare.]

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

[Hawke... why would you say that.]

I... I should have known. Don't worry. I'll fix this. I'll take care of everything.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

[And Hawke looks kind of horrified.]

What? No! Are you even listening to the things that come out of your mouth anymore?

[This is not going like he thought it would.]

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

She's a blood mage. She can't be allowed to do this to you.

[You just had to say 'blood mage', Hawke. Seriously.]

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Anders, think about this. How can she be a blood mage when she's not even a mage? She's not even from Thedas!

[This is no longer about him trying to convince Anders that they aren't in love. This is about convincing Anders not to try and kill his fiancee.]

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

Maybe she's convinced us she isn't a mage! Maybe that's how she got into your mind so easily... made you think you love her!

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Don't make be barricade you inside your room Anders, because that won't be fun for either one of us.

[Actually that's not entirely true. Hawke will probably find that funny.]

[Actiooooon] this is painful for me to write

[3wayforjustice]

Not even a barricade could keep me from protecting you, love.

[Actiooooon] let me help take the pain away...or possibly make it worse

[iwannabeadragon]

Hearing you say that makes me feel dirty.

[Definitely taking a shower after this.]

Just stay here, and don't go near Vie. I have...things to take care of.

[Like hiding Vie from Anders' stupid.]

[Actiooooon] nothing helps

[3wayforjustice]

Don't worry, Hawke. This will all be dealt with before you know it.

You stay here. I'll protect you.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Protect me from what? Your fever dream?

[This is getting him no where. He's got to find Vie.]

Just stay here.

[And he starts to leave so that he can find her.]

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

[He... tries to grab Hawke's arm. To hold him back.]

Don't--! She'll only make things worse.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

[No! Bad Anders! Go sit in your corner!]

No, that's what you're doing by wanting to kill her.

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

But she's a blood mage! She's dangerous! And she's gotten her claws into you!

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

Repeat after me.

[Hawke pulls his arm away from Anders.]

Vie. Is not. A mage.

[Actiooooon]

[3wayforjustice]

That's just what she wants you to believe.

[Actiooooon]

[iwannabeadragon]

By the Make, I'd be making more progress if I talked to a wall.

I'm just going to be leaving now.

[He heads for the door again, faster this time in case Anders tries to grab him again. Hawke really needs to find Vie before Anders goes on the attack.]
