the only thing i am guilty of if one can be guilty of such a thing is being too good of a friend to let his friend waste the best years of his life on a woman with cascading raven hair and a perfect hourglass figure but a nasty nasty temper but if the details must be shared
( .... the little speech bubble indicating that jaskier is typing appears for a suspiciously long time )
the night before last geralt and i were at a bar i was of course was adding a general liveliness to the atmosphere while he was imbibing his weight of beer and becoming surlier by the moment then of course the witch in question had to show herself beguiling and as beautiful as ever and poor geralt could not help but stare lovelorn and helpless at her over the rim of his glass what was i to do suggest that they they reconcile and rekindle their more off than on romance and bring suffering to all of course not a friend would never do such a thing sensibly i found the second most beautiful woman at the bar and convinced her that what she sorely needed was a night with the white wolf himself and she would leave his bed sore and stumbling with a new perspective on life she and geralt hit it off quite nicely after that and it was when she was feeling his biceps i felt a shiver run down my spine and a devilish set of eyes on my back and for what crime wingmanning???? this time she has stepped severely out of line and has used her powers to rob the good patrons of the subway of their favorite form of entertainment
from her point of view you did commit a crime by interfering with her love life and now you pay the price not saying its fair how does geralt feel about this?
no no no wingmanning is the gracious and often thankless act of talking up your companion to a potential love interest man woman entity or otherwise so they may view them in their best haloed light iโm not allowed in the local sandwich shops anyway something about sticky hands and bread in pockets
( ANYWAY... )
geralt is worse than unhelpful he is amused he does not appreciate the sound of my voice on a normal day and likens it to a hot pocket that has taken too many turns in the microwave busted and fillingless all air and no substance
you you know what i think about that callous remark
( thereโs a voice message attached that when played sounds the infernal screaming he has been unjustly cursed with, loud and terrible, and like the gates of hell themselves have opened. )
well shall i just pack up my belongings in a checkered blanket attach that blanket to a stick and set out for berlin i can spend my mornings putting on layers and layers of white facepaint to mime for spare change at the brandenburg gate and at night i can add some eyeliner find a nice warehouse and use my demonic voice to burst the eardrums of a cheering throng of headbangers
and then maybe once they have all cleared the warehouse floor to go home and have blood leak from their ears onto their pillowcases i could find a spare moment to lay on the concrete and wonder why exactly my dear friend alexei wouldnโt help me break my curse when that is LITERALLY his JOB
( a couple minutes later after he has engaged in box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, the visualization of himself in a nice peaceful meadow surrounded by friendly woodland creatures: )
yennefer does not find me charming she takes whatever i say churns it around in her head and construes it as insult i could say lovely evening weโre having yennefer and sheโd look at me like iโve just puked on her manolos which i would never do because i respect craftsmanship in footwear
( WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTE PATHETIC MAN BEHAVIORโ ) canโt you speak to her and intercede on my behalf perhaps say that unjust cursing is against the law and that there will be dire consequences if she does not lift mine and that youโll bust down her door and take her away in magic suppressing handcuffs to be locked up in a tower full of other supernatural criminals where undoubtedly she'll make friends and compatriots in evil ๐ฅบ
so be it i will lock her up in jail and you will be safe she will plot her revenge get stronger from exercising all the time join a gang of evil supernatural criminals and eventually escape and kill you problem solved
what is the timeline on this does she wallow in a sad jumpsuit for years 1 and 2 while exchanging letters with geralt before joining the gang or does the gang leader spot her doing squats in the courtyard in the first months and decide she is ripe for recruitment
i donโt suppose i get a peek at these glorious prison-forged abdominals before iโm supernaturally brutalized and demons use my entrails as a jump rope
then where do the magic criminals go it not magic jail do you just give them a little slap on the wrist before they go their merry way
( alexei youโre not funny!! )
a letter does seem to be the reasonable course of action written word is less open to interpretation especially when well-crafted and since you have refused to speak to the witch you must assist me in drafting the perfect apology
iโm sure youโre not as bad as you think here imagine you have just wounded me with a grievous insult and my face has crumpled like tissue and it looks like i may need tissue for the river of tears streaming down my face
well for the sake of the scenario letโs imagine you said
julian the greatest gift you have ever given your parents is leaving their household because you existed as a hopeless talentless blight that at every turn provided evidence that disappointment could reach new and exciting heights no one likes you and any tolerance of your presence is merely pity that when sustained will become hatred for you to cut yourself upon like the fool you always have been and always will be
no i believe that i am an immensely talented individual who at the very least is adored by the public the 20 dollar bill that was dropped into my guitar case last week would be able to attest to that had i not spent it on a very fashionable ring that could very well appear as precious metal from a distance
let me revise: you merely remarked that my outfit looked to be the result of a dive headfirst into the bargain bin

the night before last geralt and i were at a bar
i was of course was adding a general liveliness to the atmosphere while he was imbibing his weight of beer and becoming surlier by the moment
then of course the witch in question had to show herself beguiling and as beautiful as ever
and poor geralt could not help but stare lovelorn and helpless at her over the rim of his glass
what was i to do suggest that they they reconcile and rekindle their more off than on romance and bring suffering to all
of course not a friend would never do such a thing
sensibly i found the second most beautiful woman at the bar and convinced her that what she sorely needed was a night with the white wolf himself and she would leave his bed sore and stumbling with a new perspective on life
she and geralt hit it off quite nicely after that and it was when she was feeling his biceps i felt a shiver run down my spine and a devilish set of eyes on my back
and for what crime
wingmanning????
this time she has stepped severely out of line and has used her powers to rob the good patrons of the subway of their favorite form of entertainment
