[Walkabout] The Zeddening

[willyousee]

Zed, what have you done?!

[Alcuin's not bothering to address him directly. Let the whole Network hear this idiocy.]

Blessed-Be is practically falling apart she is so frightened! A great evil tearing her husband into damnation? She thinks you may be after the children! What in the name of everything truly holy did you do to her?!

Mr. Sparkles! It is your sworn duty to harass him until he is "vanquished", is that understood?

[Alcuin doesn't do angry very often but he sure is now.]

Comments

[whydoyoushine]

You think they really would come, with the pitchforks and the torches? I thought that was just in movies a couple of my infiltrations have seen.

[Zed shrugged.]

I guess you could say he was a little annoyed with me.

[itsananimalthing]

More than a little. I haven't seen Alcuin threaten to kill anybody... pretty much ever. That's usually my department.

[Which may or may not be a potential threat. Right now, though, his posture and tone is relaxed. Annoyed, maybe, but relaxed.]

And yeah. You scare people enough, in the right way, they'll come after you with whatever weapons they got handy. In this case, pitchforks. Now come on, we're getting you outa here.

[whydoyoushine]

Alright, fine, I'll leave.

[He can meet annoyed and relaxed, sure. Because he is very much annoyed, but no one's trying to kill him so he might as well relax.]

I was getting bored anyway.

[Poor Zed doesn't know what's coming to him. Riddick opens a portal directly into his forge, motioning Zed through, then follows him in. Zed might or might not notice that the door to the rest of liminal space is gone.

Riddick then promptly engages portal lockdown on him, as soon as his own is closed.]

You get to hang out in here for a while. Feel free to grab a book or somethin'.

[whydoyoushine]

Oh, come on, I can't even go anywhere else in Liminal?

[You are no fun, Riddick.]

[itsananimalthing]

I can't trust you to stay in liminal until the end of the Jaunt, so yeah, this is your home for a while. Be glad I've got the place pretty big by now, you've got some room to roam around.

[Though he'll have Cassandra, Pod, and Liara's rooms all firmly locked so he can't get in.]

[whydoyoushine]

Aw, come on, really?

[No fun, no fun at all, Riddick. But wait a second, this is a forge, and...]

Is that fire over there?

[Or at least a place to make fire, hello, he's suddenly interested.]

[itsananimalthing]

Sure, fine, go play.

[It'll keep him occupied, anyway. Riddick takes the time to melt his bookcase in the bedroom into the wall, so Zed can't torch his books, then gets one of the others to portal him back out. He has on desire to sit in here while Zed gets increasingly bored... and he's saving his Liminal Power for reboosting that portal lockdown once it wears off.]

[whydoyoushine]

[Zed is going to make indoor fireworks and generally be as obnoxious a houseguest as he can, but at least it's more of a petulant obnoxiousness than anything really aggressively objecting to his imprisonment.]
