[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.]

It's actually quite rampant on the world I come from.

I'm a mage living in the only country that doesn't persecute mages...well mages with a fancy blood line anyway, but you're still safer there than anywhere else as a mage. Everywhere else mages are rounded up in towers and spend their entire lives there, many suffer abuses.

In certain societies mages are chained and leashed with their mouths sewn shut. All of this due to religious or philosophical partiality and fear. I've seen plenty of this nonsense and for the most part it stems from the actions of a few leading to the persecution of the many.

I can't say the song sounds very different.

[It's plain to L, from the outlines of the situation, that those who have supernatural abilities are currently unable to use them; if that wasn't the case, the situation would already have turned, and mages wouldn't be complaining of boredom. So for now, that makes two of them without powers.]

You're bored. How have you been occupying yourself for the past few days? It may be futile, but I could use another set of eyes.

[liberaltus]

I'v been occupying myself by not moving around terribly much which is infinitely boring...but the problem isn't so much that I want to occupy myself, it's that I'm compelled to...without much movement.

[Because, you know, nausea could become full blown sickness.]
