-When the man speaks, his voice is heavily accented and...cheerfully confused.-

Eh? Where are we? This is most certainly not the Pirate Island! No stinking pirates here! Though, I would not mind the warm weather so much.

Eh? Boo? Are you alright?

-there's a definite SQUEAK and Minsc laughs heartily-

AHH! Yes, I agree! That Pirate had terrible magics! We must be somewhere near Icewind Dale! ...Or at the very least where it is very cold! HAHA!

We should try to find some kind person to help us in-

-he pauses, leaning closer, speaking louder as he apparently realizes he's holding the communicator-

Eh? What manner of magic is this, I wonder!



[[OOC: Here are four small wavs if you want an idea of what Minsc and Boo sound like]]

[She snorts.]

Might wanna pipe down there, bucko. We can hear you just fine. Don't need to be yelling.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Eh? How can this thing be talking with such a womanly voice! Are you under a spell lady? Minsc will save you!

[Voice]

[searbh]

Spell? Nah, it's magic, this little communicator thing. Let's you talk to anybody else who's got one, provided you know how to use it.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see, I see!

-in a voice that says he doesn't actually see at all-

Tell me, voice of lady in the not so magic magic thing! Where am I?

[Voice]

[searbh]

[There's a momentary pause.]

This city is called World's End. And the names Avari, don't need to call me lady.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

World's End? Avari, you speak very strange words, but Boo says you must be correct. Strange magic must have brought me here! I was trying to convince a Pirate Lord to let us into an asylum.

Eh...strange indeed~

[Voice]

[searbh]

Yeah, strange magic brings us all here. Problem is, you can't leave once you get here. It's impossible. Well, know one knows how to do it. Now and then people leave. Just don't have the decency to fill us in before they go.

Who's boo?

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

What?

-he seems to pause, trying to untangle the tricky words before him, a small squeak heard now and then-

Oh! I see. I think. But nothing can cage a warrior such as Minsc! NOT EVEN EVIL! And surely it is Evil which would trap Minsc here!

...Oh. Boo is my hamster.

[Voice]

[searbh]

It's evil, all right.

Your hamster?

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Evil must be dealt with harshly! Else it tries to do nasty things to the unwary!

Ooh. Yes. Boo is my companion. He is the only Miniature Giant Space Hamster in the Realms!

[Voice]

[searbh]

Couldn't have said it better, myself. 'Sides, the quicker you're done the more... generous your benefactors.

...A what?

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Ah! Are you a mercenary for the face of good as well?

Miniature giant space hamster!

[Voice]

[searbh]

Aye, mercenary work is my trade. More of a weapon smith by craft, though.

...The hell is that?

[Voice]

[exalted-nabooru.livejournal.com]

[Nabooru has the same habit of raising her voice into the communicator, and so does not seem phased by it.]

Terrible magics, eh? Sounds familiar, mister.

You must be new.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Eh? Another female voice from the magic device? Who are you, new lady of the not-so-magic-magic box!

[Voice]

[exalted-nabooru.livejournal.com]

You can call me Nabooru. And who're you, rookie? Need a hand?

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Rookie? Eh? Minsc is no bird from a rookerie!

-hearty laugh-

I am Minsc! Warrior extraordinaire! Though...I admit I am a little lost at the moment.

[Voice]

[berceusedefou.livejournal.com]

It's not magic at all, you simpletons.

It's technology. Not even particularly impressive technology at that.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Eh? Technology of the likes Minsc has never seen! Gnome crftsmanship, maybe,

[Voice]

[berceusedefou.livejournal.com]

Gnomes?

You're from one of those worlds, then, aren't you?

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Yes. Gnomes are very smart...but not so tall. Don't tell them that though!

[Voice]

[berceusedefou.livejournal.com]

They don't exist.

[He sighs.]

Not here, or the world I come from, I suppose. I forget that you fairytale types have a place somewhere.

[Voice]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Faerie tales?

-a pause-

Faeries don't have tails! But they do have flittery glowing wings! Very pretty to look at.

[Voice]

[berceusedefou.livejournal.com]

Ugh.

I give up. You types are impossible.

[getyourzexy-on.livejournal.com]

...Xigbar?

[[Voice]]

[buttkickinghero.livejournal.com]

Eh? Who is this Zigbarr?

[getyourzexy-on.livejournal.com]

Someone nearly as brilliant as you are, I'd wager.
You don't happen to enjoy cutting up and stabbing things, do you?
