Skyrim’s new freaks
Posted 2023-07-16 22:30:13 (edited)
Skyrim, a land of harsh winter and filled with natural beauty being the lush forests where wild spriggans roam to the wild plains with giants stomping about and scratching themselves endlessly. A land filed with danger at around every corner, some in which can not being fully explained with only the Daedric Princes to blame. Located in the darkest reaches where so few will go near, an old cave sat with many secretes within.

There was a sign hanging off a nearby tree just near the gaping cave's maw with the words, "Hagraven's den" written in bold font. This spot was known far and wide for offering entertainment in such a gloomy time such as dancers and bards coming far and wide to make a name for themselves, yet the real attraction was the freak show. The cave was very large with tunnels spiraling through the mountain, there were rooms littered about and the main area being close to the entrance was filled with customers drinking and laughing at the current act, however a certain jester was watching the bards with a blank expression.

He stood out rather well for the mere fact he wore a dark jester suit with a black and red pattern upon it, it was stitched with various fabrics and had bells hanging off the collar and his hat, he was also holding a plate of sweet rolls and practically shoving them into his mouth.
"…what the oblivion is that guy's problem…"
A man spoke under his breath while watching this odd sort…

The ghostly pale Altmer sidled beside the jester to watch the show. She hadn't been among the ranks of the freak show too long; and her conceited nature considered her to superlative to dabble with them. Her face was her typical displeased scowl. It almost never left that expression, as if etched into stone.

She leaned forward, croning her neck to glance back at the ginger, vulpine eyes narrowed. As Marnenyen observed his oafish attempts at eating the pastries, she let out a discontented scoff, "Do you always eat like that?" She enquired, nothing short of patronizing.

With a rather cute squeak the jester jumped in place then turned his attention to face the Altmer, she hadn't been here long and being he found himself far too shy at ttines to properly introduce himself, 'Oh what kind of jester is Cress? Not wanting to introduce self!', his thoughts went to target him a little, he gulped the remaining bit of sweet roll down his throat then shifted in place.

"O-oh h-hi and Erm Cress l-likes sweet rolls…."
He spoke nervously and his face was slightly flushed from embarrassment, he really was an adorable little man and his voice was smooth and a bit deep, he looked at the other like a puppy trying who wanted to make friends but shy he may be beaten once more.

Marnenyen kept staring at him, appearing rather dour. She pressed her lips into a tight line, pupils flitting over him. Then, her brow creased and she turned back to watch the show.

  "I take it you're Cress?" She asked the fool, rolling her shoulders back and straightening her posture. She was far to insistent on being mannerly, despite her ill humor.

'Right, normal people don't speak the way Cress does-oh god stop it-no Cress stops it and AHHHHHHHHHHHHGGHHH', the pour short man was fighting internally with himself, he greatly lacks self-confidence and shook a little in place as he shoved more sweet rolls into his mouth,
"A-and you are…?"
He finally managed to ask as he swallowed the food, 'Oh gods why is she so much taller than Cress?! This does NOT make Cress feel better-wait is Cress so short?!', he thought to himself then watched the bards playing with some dancers.

He reached for more sweet rolls and it seemed he ate them all, he felt panic rush through his veins and inhaled deeply, 'OH NOW CRESS WILL STAND HERE aWkWarDly', his eye twitched and he started to breath rapidly, he felt his body temperature raise then realized-he was too shy to lash out for no reason…for now.

The woman looked taken-aback at his fit, instinctively stepping away and curling her lips downward in a frown. What a bizarre little man! The more she stayed around these odd folk— freaks —the better she felt about herself and her strangely pale complexion.

  After the initial shock of his struggling, she managed to obtain her voice long enough to avow her full name, "Marnenyen Palaeceus," she then paused a moment as if savoring the elegance of a name that was clearly given to her by a far too verbose Altmer before adding, "…of Markath."

"M-maArrrr Yeeenaaaaa…."
Cress frowned his brows as he tried oh so horribly say the female's name, yet he truly was trying.
"Mar…mare…eeen….yen…Mareenyen Pa…PAH"
He struggled a bit more then tries to dah the last name.
"PALEee…pala…a….Pala..aaaceees?"
He blushed up from sheer embarrassment and gave the worlds most awkward smile known to man, he truly felt horrible for being terrible at saying the female's name.

"Cress is very sorry for failing to say your name! It sounds easy but oh no"
He shook his head with a guilty expression then was shoved into by a rowdy Nord, he squeaked hen turned to face the man.
"Y-you shoved into Cres-"
"Oh show it up a mammoth's plow hole!"
The Nord snapped which caused for Cress to lower his head, he wasn't much of a fighter and it seemed all knew this, yet does have his moments of miss destruction, but he tried since the last slaughter to keep his head down at take his beatings.

Marnenyen feigned irritancy, trying to combat a smile playing at the edges of her mouth at his wrestle with his pronunciation. She felt the need to correct him, if not to be polite than to display her precedence.
 
  "It's Mar-nin-yin—" She paused, stumbling as the rough-hewn man slammed into the buffoon. At his submission, she stepped forward, hissing through her clenched jaw. "What's your issue, Nord?" She sneered, sizing him up with her chin raised indignantly.

Cress' eyes widened, no one ever stands up for him, yet this female in which he so poorly said the name of was speaking to the Nord? He never had anyone do so and he was conflicted. The Nord snapped a glare at Marnenyen with pure disgust, he didn't like the look of her at all.
"Ooh and look who is standing up for the little man, if can call him that, a smelly, horker faced el-"
Upon the Nord trying to insult Marnenyen it was then Cress felt a familiar burning sensation deep inside of his core, his veins glowed red and his eyes seemed to swirl like a wild fire, he can take beatings but for others to be taking the hate that was directed upon him? That was what brought him to the edge…

He immediately went between the two and gave such a deep, inhuman snarl as tiny embers ejected from his eyes that caused the area to grow silent as all stared at him.
"The…..what the gods are you?!"
The Nord was taken back and stumbled backwards, yet Cress wasn't backing down and folwling the male.
"If you have something to say Say It To CrEss' FaCe! ShE Had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!"
Cress' voice went deep and demonic, like a creature from the gates of Oblivion had taken him over, he snarled and kept nearing the Nord.

Marnenyen strode forward, grabbing Cress' wrist and clutching it until her knuckles strained. Her eyes were widening as she met his crazed gaze and she felt her heart speed up, thumping against her ribcage and echoing five-star alarms in her ears. "Auri-El!" She exclaimed, baring her blunt teeth, "You're a monster!"

  At her last phrase, her heart plummeted, like that of a pebble in deep water. She didn't mean to call him such a word, one that had been used against her far too often for the crime of not looking exactly like her Elven peoples. She let go of his hand and her arms felt too heavy for her body, slumping too her sides helplessly.
