A Wannabe Bard

My name is Finn and I want to become a bard! But I have to pass this stupid warrior class first. Magic Anon: none [Independent rp blog for Finnigan from the webcomic Warrior-U.]

[wannabebard]

forhevvinsake started following you

[Of course he'd been right. That feeling never went wrong. There the unicorn was. Stalking him.]

H-h-hey, H-Hevvin...not still sore about us blowing you up r-right?

[wannabebard]

Why do I feel like something's terribly wrong?

something bad or someONE bad is lurking somewhere I just know it

Oh, w-well, that’s a shame. I… suppose it’s a v-very stigmatised job. B-but very, er, u-useful. Would… would it be alright i-if perhaps I waited for her? She might be a-able to, er, help me find my way home. I think I’ve managed t-t-to end up very far away…

Oh, um, m-my name is Avery Rook, by the way.

[wannabebard]

Sure! Come on in. She’ll be back in an hour probably. [Of course, he knew his mother was far from the nicest witch and there was a very good reason people feared her…but this guy seemed nice and maybe Leenan would help him. At least if Finn asked. Finn had been bored anyway and friendly company was always nice.] Nice to meet you, Avery! My name is Finn.

[averyrook]

Th-thank you. It’s nice to meet you too, Finn.

[He slipped inside, wondering what sort of portal he’d fallen through into this world. Maybe he’d accidentally upset a faerie or something. In which case he should get back as soon as possible and press something cold and made of iron into their head.]

S-so do you apprentice for your mother as well? I’ve known of, um, a f-few long lines of magical families.

[wannabebard]

[Finn laughed sheepishly and went to go snatch his harp out of habit. Clearing his throat.] No, actually, um...I mean I'm okay with magic, I guess - but I really want to be a bard so... Also magic has gotten me in a heck of a lot more trouble than anything else. Not too keen on it, to be honest.

wannabebard replied to your post: FINN GODDAMMIT

[Evil pony laughter in the distance.]

YEAH how ‘bout ya change me back? 

I look like I work at Hot motherfuckin’ Topic!

[wannabebard]

Whyyyy should I? Nihihihi~

[wannabebard]

[Caaaaasual shrug while he stood up and brushed himself off.] Nothing. Just remembered something. Anyway, I need to go find Mother.

[sodoffyabuggers]

….’kay???????

[wannabebard]

Have fun with your new look! [And he rushed the heck out of there.]

[wannabebard]

I don’t want to become a mage anyway! I want to be a bard. [Harrumphed but cracked a tiiiny smile at the fact Worth hadn’t noticed yet.]

[sodoffyabuggers]

A bard??? What th’ fuck ‘s a bard ya mean like a minstril? 

*cue snickering, but that laughter faded away as he saw Finn’s own little smile*

…What’s.

What’s that fuckin’ look for?

[wannabebard]

[Caaaaasual shrug while he stood up and brushed himself off.] Nothing. Just remembered something. Anyway, I need to go find Mother.

[wannabebard]

Fine! Okay! Give me a second! [Finn wiped at his face and tried to concentrate, the horn glowing again. Imagining Worth - but with purple hair just to get back at the jerk. He kept the straightest face possible.] There, better?

[sodoffyabuggers]

*Worth couldn’t see his hair, so he wasn’t privy to the joke just yet. All he could see was the fact that he had hands again and could stand up straight*

Finally.

Lil’ tip, don’t become a mage. 

I don’t think it’s yer strong point, to put it as GENTLY as I possibly can. 

[wannabebard]

I don't want to become a mage anyway! I want to be a bard. [Harrumphed but cracked a tiiiny smile at the fact Worth hadn't noticed yet.]

“Never heard of Newark, but…You’re in Cailburry right now? If that helps? I’ve never been outside of it much so I don’t know.” He rubbed the back of his neck.

[hannawolfcross-deactivated20200]

“I’ve never heard of Cailburry… What state’s that in? Cuz Newark’s in New Jersey.”

[wannabebard]

"State...?" Finn tilted his head. He didn't know a "New Jersey" either.

[wannabebard]

“Eheh, right…’course not. That’d be crazy.” Finn rubbed the back of his neck, glancing back at the other. “So, um…what were you up too until we ran into each other?”

[flamboyantbard]

“Looking around for some inspiration. And.. mother, too.” He grinned. “What about you?” He fired back curiously,

[wannabebard]

"Trying to figure out how to get back to normal if this curse doesn't wear off on its own," Finn said with a sigh.

[wannabebard]

[Finn’s eyes widened and he scooted as far away as possible.] Kyyaaaaaaa!

[He flailed his arms and felt his horn sparking again.] OKAY STOP! I’ll try just STAY AWAAAAY!

[sodoffyabuggers]

*Worth snickered to himself and rolled his eyes*

Then fuckin’ try an’ quit yer bitchin!

[wannabebard]

Fine! Okay! Give me a second! [Finn wiped at his face and tried to concentrate, the horn glowing again. Imagining Worth - but with purple hair just to get back at the jerk. He kept the straightest face possible.] There, better?

+flawlessexistence

There’s more of you…?

[flawlessexistence]

Is something wrong?

[wannabebard]

...Er, just...I've seen another talking hedgehog-thing and I wasn't expecting more of you... [coughs in fist] I'm...Finn.

[wannabebard]

...

okay so tumblr is really really not loading well for me right now and I was planning on doing replies and also my tags aren't working so...if I owe you let me know an i'll get to it. Right now i am waiting for my internet to stop being a douche.

[warrior-u]

Finn must be really drunk to be able to see me.

[weinerman-tested-deactivated201]

luke-warm, I guess….

[warrior-u]

Finn eyed the hand once it was human and normal sized, taking it carefully and shaking it. “Yeah…” He smiled a tiny bit.

[hannawolfcross-deactivated20200]

Finn would probably notice that Hanna’s hand was incredibly warm. But that was a trait of his species. They had the same body temperature of a canine. “So where you from?”

[wannabebard]

“Um, Cailburry,” he answered, taking his hand back to brush through his blonde hair. He probably didn’t feel the heat, given he was wearing gloves. “Where are you from?”

[hannawolfcross-deactivated20200]

“I’m from Newark. Uh… Where’s Cailburry? I’ve never heard of it.”

[wannabebard]

"Never heard of Newark, but...You're in Cailburry right now? If that helps? I've never been outside of it much so I don't know." He rubbed the back of his neck.

[wannabebard]

[Finn sniffed and glared through puffy eyes at Worth before smacking the hoof away.]

You’re a jerk.

[sodoffyabuggers]

Thank ya. 

So if ya can change yerself back halfway, why don’ ya jus’ try to change yerself back all th’ way?

For that matter, try to change me back. *he took a couple steps back and spread his front legs, lowering his head a little and bracing himself* Go on give it a whirl. This ‘s great an all that, but I wanna be able to jack off sometime in th’ future. 

[wannabebard]

:| “jack off” ? [Finn stared at him obliviously before shaking his head.] I don’t know how! And my head hurts. |I Give me some time to figure it out.

[sodoffyabuggers]

Don’t… tell me ya don’ know what-

*he visibly deflated and rolled his eyes, making a sound of disgust*

Ugh, whatever. Yer head hurts. Well that’s just fine but remember…

*he took a few steps forward till he was right up in Finn’s space, looking him in the eye*  

‘M a fuckin’ unicorn. An’ ‘m gonna stay that way. For as long

as ya

let me~

[wannabebard]

[Finn's eyes widened and he scooted as far away as possible.] Kyyaaaaaaa!

[He flailed his arms and felt his horn sparking again.] OKAY STOP! I'll try just STAY AWAAAAY!
