Adam: ...so...Wynne is gone? No more harpy flapping about shrieking over things she hallucinates happening anymore..?
Alistair: ...Harpy? What is a harpy?
Adam: Mythological being that may or may not have existed where I come from...they had the torso and head of a woman and wings and legs of birds of prey. They're said to have lured unwary men to the mountains by singing, then devoured them.
Alistair: .....I...just...I don't like those.
Adam: They're worse than Sirens, as Harpies were said to travel in flocks, like other birds.
Alistair: S-Sirens?
Adam: Women of the sea who also lured men to their deaths...usually by crashing the ship the sailor men were on into rocks, so they would drown.
Alistair: ......
Adam: Wood nymphs, too--
Alistair: IS THERE NOTHING NICE WHERE YOU COME FROM!?
Adam: ....unicorns?
Alistair: ......
Adam: ...horses with a single, golden horn on their heads. Generally associated with purity and kindness. More fond of women.
Alistair: -WHEW noise-
Adam: ...Pegasus, too...winged horses...
Alistair: ...right...horses good...everything else, bad.
Considering popping this conversation in...
Alistair sounds like an Elephant's Child. You should go more in that direction because it's funny.
Video proof that elephant's child is funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmm-1LZE03k @5:01
XD Alistair is more of a dork than anything, but I've got several characters that ask things without thinking about them...
Like Zevran talking about his tattoos and saying they accent musculature, but he can't show them all off because he's wearing clothing...FIRST THING out of Bailey's mouth is "CAN I SEE? WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?" Never crosses his mind on WHERE they could be...just that there's new information and he MUST KNOW IT.
XD sounds like a good conversation to me
Shall go in once I sprite those two and add in the town, then. :lol3: btw, Alistair is also the king of a neighboring country, so I don't think having him be TOO retarded is a wise idea...wouldn't want to piss off his fangirls.
lol, sounds like a great conversation to put in :lol3:
