[Behold. This is not your everyday pleasant, charming, and well-spoken Dorian, noooo -- say hello to your not-so-friendly neighborhood irascible Dorian. He’s not above sarcasm and friendly banter, but short tempered is rare for someone so practical and cordial…and yet.]

So we’re the bad guys, the root of all suffering and evil blah, blah, blah…now where have I heard this tune before? Oh right, partiality as old as the Maker himself…and yet they’re not above lying, manipulating, torture, brutality, and theft [theft gets its own special emphasis for very specific reasons] they don’t kill, they don’t imprison, such unique little snowflakes they are. I’m certainly not seeing any of their own in here for transgressions committed, because they’ve been flawless hosts I suspect. Venhedis kaffan vas.

[He’s so irritated that it’s difficult to tease his sarcasm apart from his true irritation.]

Of course, I could be wrong, the little pack of Savrii that assaulted me unprovoked could have been a fever dream, it’s possible. Not bloody likely. But possible.

[So what’s brought on so much agitation? Well, for anyone who knows the mage, they know he’s something of a drunkard and a drunkard without wine is being forced to dry out. Right now, he’s only agitated…small mercies.]

As an aside has anyone taken stock of all of our resources, they’re still feeding us and supplying us with some things, yes? I need more than that to keep myself occupied -- books, cards, music, writing materials…any-bloody-thing really.

[His voice isn't shaking at all.]

Yeah. Time to air your grievances on the network where they can monitor everything we think and do. What a good plan!

[liberaltus]

It's a fabulous plan given the fact I've already done so to their face, but please, go on.

[a_shadow]

Just consider when you're blowing smoke you might be making things worse for people trying to make things better.

[liberaltus]

So what's your plan then, what's your better?

[a_shadow]

You think I'm going to tell you on here?

[liberaltus]

I'm not that interested, honestly, I have a feeling things will end the same way that they always do.

Also I hardly think our captors give a damn about our airing of grievances given that they slammed the door shut on our grievances, put a gigantic box in front of it, and and plopped their arses on it.

[a_shadow]

When did I say I was going to complain? Like that would get anybody anything.

[liberaltus]

I never said you were, you're simply expressing fussy concerns.

[a_shadow]

I'm just saying if they think we're rolling over it might be better in the meantime until we prove we're not.

[liberaltus]

You know, I feel like I tried that method. Biting my tongue, pulling my punches, and showing my soft underbelly all for the sake of feigning niceties.

If you think they're going to change the way they feel about us just because we show temporary compliance, then I applaud your optimism. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it

[a_shadow]

There are bigger things at stake than your own ego. But whatever, I'm obviously not going to convince you.

[liberaltus]

Like my health, for instance? Continue clucking though, I'm enjoying the we-know-what's-best-for-you-all lectures, reminds me of the Revered Mothers of the Chantry.
