Run away!!! (Issy)

I haven't written with Issy in such a long time and I want to. This is a story Isabelle but Anna,Farkas,Lani and Valan make appearances. It is set in Skyrim, specifically Whiterun hold in 4E 201.

I walk into the inn at Whiterun, The Bannered Mare and head upstairs to the room I'm sharing with Lani, I'm the first up and already ate breakfast, so, it's my job to wake everyone else up. I tap her on the shoulder and she blinks her eyes awake and gets up, I close the door behind me as I leave so she can get dressed. Then I head to the boys room, Valan and Lucien. Their on the other side of the inn up above the main hall,area,room...thing. I walk up the stairs and burst open the door to find the two of them still asleep in the beds that were there, Lucien is lying on his back and sleeping like a rock meanwhile Valan is curled up like a cat sleeping fairly peacefully but lightly. I guess Non 24 syndrome does that to you. I wake Lucien up first, or try at least. He eventually wakes up with a punch in the arm. I then walk across the room to Valan. "Valan. Wake up please." I say as I tap him on the shoulder and he sits up. "What do you want?" He asks sleepily. "We have to meet Anna and Farkas at 8:30. It's 7:45 now, I let you sleep longer then you were supposed to." The two of them get dressed and meet Lanriael and I downstairs. We eat breakfast and wait for our friends, they arrive just on time. We sit around a table close to the fire and discuss our plans, what plans?, you may be asking. We have a mission of sorts, we have to clear an old barrow of draugr (I can't spell today I'm sorry) and then kill the dragon that's at the top of it, most barrows start on the ground and end at an overlook at the top of a mountain. It's a 30 minute walk and 20 minutes by horseback. We chose to walk because most of us don't have horses or our horses leave whence we get there. We eventually get to the barrow, Anna knows her way around these places so we follow her. Whence inside we draw weapons, Lucien, Valan, Farkas and I draw swords. Valan starts a flame spell in his other hand and Lani and Anna have magic. We start through the crypt and not long after encounter a slew of draugr, we easily slay them and continue on. After a while we finally get to the overlook only to find that indeed there is a very large dragon there. Though it was expected it's still frightening. The dragon spreads its wings and almost jumps into the sky and starts flying. It opens its mouth and a steam of fire comes out. I jump out of the way narrowly dodging the dragons attack. It flys circles above us, Anna, Lani, Valan and I shoot it with fire balls and Lani conjured a bow. The dragon lands with a crash a few feet away from Anna, it opens its mouth, I pull Anna out of the way and say "Run Len!!!" To her as I half run and half drag her over to where our friends are standing. We rethink our strategy quickly and manage to eventually cut the dragon down. We sit tiredly on the old stones of the overlook resting, after a while of silence Valan asks "Hey Anna, how do you do this all the time?? I'm the nerevarine and even I don't have to do this!" Anna laughs and replies that most of the time she just runs away, like Monty Python "Run away!!!" That's an accurate description of our group of friends, faced with a tough enemy, first reaction "hahaha...nope *runs away screaming*" Today was fun, if you count walking for half and hour and then going through a scary Nordic dungeon to kill a dragon fun. I was mostly just happy to see my friends. Haha, now I'm imagining the "run away!!" Thing! Wow, go me the person who laughs at their own jokes.

The End!

Pointless battle story because I wanted to and because I can

Until next time,
M

    1. True, sometimes you just need a good battle scene.

    2. What if you turned your stories into a musical?

      Delete
    3. Oh my gosh that would be hilarious!!!!!! Im imagining that now and it would be amazing! Especially if it was both TES and DA, TES would be more comedy and DA would be Drama with some humor and a whole lot of fabulousness, and even more sparkles and jazz hands. :) especially in Inquisition because Dorian (the most fabulous gay Mage ever) and in da2 because FenHawke and Isabela the bi pirate and in origins pretty much everyone and Ali the frying Pan (there's a lot of references or puns in here)

      As for TES a lot of falling down/over stuff, odd noisies when they don't know what to say (like Ne!) running away from stuff and general comedy.

    4. Which songs would be the numbers your characters sing?

      Delete
    5. Hmmm let me think for a minute.
      Ok most of them represent their personality and/or I can imagine them singing them

      Dragon age:

      Alistair- I just can't wait to be king

      Wynne/Morrigan- poor unfortunate souls

      Shale- titanium

      Sten/Cullen/The Iron bull- I'll make a man out of you

      Leliana- Leliana's song (she has her own song)

      Zevran- I can't think of a song but I can think of a quote "spooky, spooky, spooky."

      Alarian- I see fire

      Hawke/Dorien/Sera- Everyone is gay

      Fenris- deliver us

      Isabela- a pirates life for me

      Anders- not really singing but "I am the Doctor" (dr.who theme)

      Sebastian- take me to church

      Merrill- just dance

      Varric- die for you

      Sera- Sera was never (tavern song)

      Cole- if I die young

      Cassandra- this is war

      Marien- Fight song

      Josie- wicked game

      TES:

      Xavier- just like fire

      Juliette- song of the seven

      Lani/Carmen/Sarah/whole cast reprise- good time

      Sammie/Valan- the rains of Castamere

      Isabelle- the hanging tree

      Lucien- oh death (supernatural)

      Anna- I see fire/fight song

      Abigail- adventure of a lifetime

      Isabelle B- Ezio's family (also applies to Zev and Issy/Lucien)

      Olivia- adventure of a lifetime

      What about your characters? Most ended up about their personalities as well as what I can see them singing (namely Cullen singing I'll make a man out of you and Alistair I just can't wait to be king because Cullen's a general and Alistair is a bastard King) what would your characters do in a musical?

    6. Steve (Male lead)-Drowning in a Wave of Sadness, Abstract Nonsense, Take Back the Night, Terminating the World

      Caitlin (Female lead)-Rolling Girl, Self-Inflicted Achromatic, Jump, World Domination How To (Duet with Mark)

      Jordan-Find the Pieces, Clean Freak

      Alex-Pon Pon Pon, Otsukimi Recital, Servant of Evil (Duet with Adrian)

      Alice-Hitorinbo Envy, Tokyo Teddy Bear

      Carmen-World is Mine

    7. Cool! Are these all vocaloid?

      Delete
    8. All except for Jump. Your songs fit well.

      Delete
    9. Thanks! Cool. Especially for Ali, Cole, Merrill, Cullen, Alistair, Hawke/Sera/Dorian, Seb, Valan, Abbie and Varric. Because Ostagar was burning, Cole died young, Merrill (aka Daisy) dances a lot (along with Fenris which you'd never expect) Cullen will make a man out of you, Alistair can't wait to be king (actually he can) Garret/Dorian/Sera are all Gay/Lesbian, Seb is a priest, Valan is the lord of Castamere, Abbie was thrown head first into the adventure of a lifetime and Varric would certainly die for Hawke (as would Fenris because Hawkes his boyfriend and he only brings him to Skyhold if Alarian comes too because elvish buddies got to stick together, also so they don't get into fights with Marien or someone else)

    10. Scratch that: Super Nuko World isn't vocaloid.

      Delete
    11. Well, are most of them vocaloid?

      Delete
    12. Guess which are my favorites.

      Delete
    13. Lost ones weeping

      You are a useless child

      Outer science

      Rolling girl

      How'd I do?

      Delete
    14. Actual Favorites:

      Terminating the World

      Terror(ism)

      World Domination-How To

      Drowning in a Wave of Sadness

      Lost One's Weeping

    15. I got one correct so it's better then nothing! I was mostly going off the ones you mention a lot.

      Delete
    16. I selected my songs based on a combination of plot and personality. I headcanoned Nathan and Adrian as being obsessed with cats.

      Delete
    17. Oh, cool! Nathan and Adrian would get along with Anders from DA2 he loves Cats.

      Delete
    18. Which of your leads would you rather play? I am appearance-wise suited for Caitlin, but more vocally and temperamentally suited for Steve.

      Delete
    19. Either Valan or Issy. Possibly Cole or Sera but more likely the former. The reason: I know all the words to those songs and are mostly in my vocal range.

      Delete
    20. I think I'd rather play Steve because his songs cater more to my vocal strengths (singing loud and low as opposed to high and soft). (If you want a reference for what I think he would sing like, see Mattaku's dub of Drowning in a Wave of Sadness.

      Delete
    21. thats cool. ill check it out

      Delete
  2. Can understand Issy having troubles with names of rooms.

    A barrow ride would probably be as exciting as combat.

    Flames and magic!

    And seeing The Dragon flying circles with Anna, Lani and Valan looking on.

    "Haha nope"...

    It was indeed funny. If you can't laugh at your own jokes, who can?

    1. She's dysgraphic so it's somewhat expected, if she was writing a paper/story/ext.

      ?? A barrow is another name for a tomb or crypt. Do you mean Barrel ride?

      Their destruction mages who specialize in flame based magic. Lani also specializes in Alteration, Juliette specializes in Restoration and Illusion, Xavier in destruction using electric charges, and Anna is a conjurer of sorts.

      Dragons are scary!! Or can be.

      Run away!!!!!

      I know right? That's very true!!
