[Fenris is prone to extreme paranoia anyway, he didn't need the castle's help in this. He's currently pacing through the halls, muttering in Arcanum under his breath. Oh, and he's glowing. As much as he hates his lyrium markings with all his heart and soul, they are useful in some things. At least his way is lit a little, with a soft blue glow.

He's still thoroughly pissed off with everything, though, as he dictates into the journal]

And to what end will there be in plunging us into darkness? Does it perhaps hope to pick us off one by one, whilst we are vulnerable? [He pauses, listening, he thought he heard some magic going on down that hallways :|]

Maker I hate this blighted hole.

[[ooc: Open or journal]]

[courageous_wit]

I'm sure it will pass in time.

[ofkirkwall]

This feels oddly familiar. [ COUGHCAVEADVENTURECOUGH. ]

[shipper_on_deck]

Sounds rather like my choice of tactics.

[looks like she's heading towards him. Presumably to make use of the free light.]

[ofthefaintsmile]

[This one is wandering around, eyesight slightly better than most in this situation... not that she needs it to see Mr. McGrumpyGlow up ahead. :| ]

Oh, that's convenient.

[wolfuncaged]

And what shall we do in the darkness? Knit?

[wolfuncaged]

At least I cannot be pulled anywhere.

...You can still get lost, however. [Yes, that was a dig at your horrific sense of direction]

[ofkirkwall]

[ All of the squinting. ] My sense of direction is fine, elf.

[wolfuncaged]

I would imagine this is the perfect setting for a thief. Think of all the pockets you could pick without anyone noticing.

[Sideeying her a bit, but hey, she's welcome to the free light]

[wolfuncaged]

[Oh it's YOU again. Fenris looks overjoyed to see her again. SO. OVERJOYED :|]

Perhaps. But it is still unwanted.

[ofthefaintsmile]

You'll have to refresh my memory as to why that is, if we covered this.

[... she's a lot more sober this time. :| ]

[youfallback]

We'll do what we can to prevent people from being 'picked off.'

[courageous_wit]

What would you like to do?

[elementoflol]

[Is that a mysterious shape skittering by in the shadows? Just out of sight, just out of touch... something stalking him.]

[daine]

[Rounding a corner, Daine comes upon the glowing Fenris and quickly shields her eyes for a moment. It's only a brief moment, though. She soon drops her hand and seems fine as she approaches.]

Have you come across anything?

[wolfuncaged]

Be right of this ridiculous darkness?

[wolfuncaged]

For a blind woman, perhaps.

[wolfuncaged]

[He raises an arm, showing the glowing tattoos upon it]

Lyrium was burned into my skin to make this possible. It caused me agony and wiped my memories clear. It made me into a living weapon, for my master to use at will.

[wolfuncaged]

What do you plan to do? [Because his plan is 'kill everything' which admittedly doesn't always work as well as he hopes]

[wolfuncaged]

[He stops, listening, narrowing his eyes.

One hand moves to his sword, ready to murder whatever it is that's following him]

[ofthefaintsmile]

[She'll take a good look, remembering a few things he said.]

That dead master of yours?

[courageous_wit]

I know you don't like magic, so you could light some candles for now.

[wolfuncaged]

[He offers her the smallest of smiles, recognition that she isn't a threat, before shaking his head]

Nothing but noises and shadows.

[daine]

[She makes a face at his answer, unsure of whether she likes it or not.]

That seems to be the general consensus. I've yet to come across anything personally, and I've heard nothing of actual encounters.

[ofkirkwall]

Come say that to my face, I'll show you who is blind.

[youfallback]

Evacuating residents to the ballroom and once people are settled there, starting patrols. [That second part's mostly her, but welp.]
