wonmyownhandAch, right then -- so 'm locked in this blasted Keep for God knows how long. [A humph.] Y'know how worried me mum's goin' ta be? She'll kill me, I tell ya!
[A short chuckle.]
Right, not kill me, tha's a bit severe, but she'll be right mad all th'same. [There's a fumble, Merida is toying with her journal and flipping pages, which makes a lot of noise in the background.]
Now, these wee little magic books, where'd they come from, hm? Anyone ever ask about that? I mean, they're just layin' right here in yer room and y'just trust th'place that much t'pick it up and wave it about! Meself included, I suppose. Where's th'magic comin' from?
[Her voice darkens, just a little.]
Y'shouldn't trust magic so blindly, ya hear? No one should. 'S dangerous, that. Y'never know what yer gonna get, regardless of what ye ask for.

Date: 2012-08-14 03:14 am (UTC)Oh my god, your accent is, like, the best thing ever!!
[Well, something like a greeting, anyway.]
Ummmmm... What I meant to say is, like, hi...
[She gives a half sort of wave with her bandaged right hand, smiling.]
I'm Liz.
Video
Date: 2012-08-14 12:14 pm (UTC)Ach, ye be havin’ my thanks. [She thinks.]
‘Liz’, eh? Merida of the Dunbroch clan – and where might you hail from?
Video - Poor wee Merida!!!
Date: 2012-08-14 09:03 pm (UTC)Oh, you're welcome!
[And then she blinks because she's not sure how to respond.]
Umm... Yeah, Liz... Ummm... I, like, hail from New York, I guess... well, outside the main city, you know? Umm... Oh!! In America!! Are you from Scotland??
Video - no kidding WAT R SLANG
Date: 2012-08-14 09:22 pm (UTC)Aye, Scotland the Brave.
...But I'm afraid I don't know where 'America' might be.
/pets her head - I am so, so sorry for this response... I giggled as I wrote it.
Date: 2012-08-14 10:11 pm (UTC)The brave... Ohmygod, that's, like, so cute!!! I saw Riverdance when it played on Broadway, like, four times! I've always wanted to, like, go to Scotland and Ireland and, like, well... Most of the other 'lands', you know? Iceland and Greenland and England... Wait, was Riverdance Irish or Scottish... Well, there was music and dancing from both, at any rate, and it was wicked good!!
[She trails off when what Merida's said actually sinks in.]
Oh, you don't... Ummm ... Well, it's far across the ocean from Scotland... Ahh... Do you, like, know what year it is?
/shrieks
Date: 2012-08-14 11:43 pm (UTC)Ah...well. 'M not sure what Riverdance might be, but I do know a a fair few lads a'n lassies that could put on quite the show.
[Not her though.]
Oh aye, course I do. [She rattles off a number -- welcome to the 10th century, Liz.]
Longest run-on sentence ever!!!
Date: 2012-08-16 06:19 pm (UTC)Oh, God, I’d, like, love to learn how to dance like that! Just the way the feet and legs are all coordinated. I mean, I was, like, a cheerleader and all before I died, but that’s, like, hardly the same thing, so I know it’s probably silly to, like, even compare the two, and yet there I go, comparing the two!
[She falls silent when Merida tells her what year it is, her eyes widening as she balks.]
Omigod, really?!?! Oh, wow!!! Geeze, that’s amazing!!!

Re: sdjfhkdshf
Date: 2012-09-04 04:36 pm (UTC)Yeah… umm… sorry… I’m sure that this is all, like, way confusing. Umm… do you have any, like… questions?

Date: 2012-08-14 11:41 pm (UTC)[She lifts it, and -- SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.]

Date: 2012-08-17 12:22 am (UTC)A wizard? [She squints.] Ya deal in magic, then?
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 01:53 am (UTC)[Until this place stripped it from him.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 02:04 am (UTC)[Gnawing on her hair.]
There's stories, y'know. Of people with magic. Witches, 'n the like. [She'd know. She's MET ONE.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 02:10 am (UTC)[And she was pretty much a surrogate mother to him.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 02:14 am (UTC)[Granted that was...mostly Merida's fault.
Not that she's fessing that up.]

Date: 2012-08-17 03:25 am (UTC)[And it doesn't occur to him at all that this girl is not from his world.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 03:29 am (UTC)Imagine that.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-14 08:00 am (UTC)[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-14 12:16 pm (UTC)Y'mean besides bein' face t'face?
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-15 07:39 am (UTC)Yeah, aside from that. But it's handy in a place where there's no email or cell phones. Sometimes you want to reach someone without having to go search for them.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-17 12:26 am (UTC)[Merida frowns. More words that she doesn't know - and that don't translate into Gaelic.
Which she is muttering under her breath, right now. The journal picks up her words and translates.]
This is ridiculous, I don't even know what these people are even talking about.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-18 03:25 am (UTC)[Right, okay, obviously she's from the past, like Reese.]
Ways of communicating, where I'm from. They make it so people can talk without having to be in the same room, kind of like this.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-21 03:39 am (UTC)[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-21 07:48 am (UTC)[From the way she's talking, he bets she's had some personal experience with magic, as well.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-23 01:08 am (UTC)[YEP VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.]

Date: 2012-08-14 12:18 pm (UTC)Speaking English is one thing - but writing it? Merida's reading comprehension in anything besides Gaelic is atrocious on a good day, and this isn't one of them.]
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't be reading' your handwriting properly.
