Speech Stones

[suspecteverything]

[A seriously pissed off voice comes through the speaking stones at a volume that's probably painful.  There's enough honest threat in the tone to be rather unsettling.]

Hey, Storyteller!  I have a bone to pick with you!  One I'm going to beat you with afterward.  The only question is whether that bone is going to be ripped out of your body or if I'm going to find it elsewhere. 

[Jules has no idea if the Storyteller gets messages through the stones or not, but he's damn well going to try.]

[ Magnus takes a beat to respond. It's clear that the channel is still on, is the sound of nearby shuffling and what sounds like a dog sniffing at the stone for a couple of seconds is anything to go by.

It's just that Jullien hit a couple of spots, there, causing Magnus to think about a myriad of things the other man has no way of knowing about.

A couple of seconds pass, before Magnus sighs.]

Hey, Jul-- [ He hesitates, but only for a second.] Jullien. Listen.

You know the parte about me not knowing you and you not knowing me? Yeah, well, I'm gonna tell you this once. Me, and my friends, we've all been through some whimsical tornado of straight up bullshit, and I know all of that stuff- we know all of that stuff.

You do whatever you want out here. Nobody's gonna stop you. But I'll tell you this. Running around, yelling about how everyone's out to get everyone, threatening to hurt people and fight shit you don't understand, because everyone else is wrong and naive?

That shit don't work, bud. That's gonna end with you, alone, fighting stuff you didn't take the time to understand, without anyone there to help.

If that's what you wanna do, that's your prerogative. But, trust me, nothing good comes out of thinking everyone's out to get you.
