action;; GOOD NEVER BE
You wait until you see the barmaid uniform. That absolutely screams Varric Thethras. What would you like to drink?
action;;
Fasta vass, I can only imagine, which is possibly for the best that it stay a sight unseen. How about a red wine. Preferably something dry?
action;;
[Oh, if only you knew, Fenris. He nods, bringing out a bottle and a glass, pouring it. ]
It's no Aggregio Pavali, but I find this works well enough.
action;;
[ Dorian puts his credits on the countertop. Whatever that will get him is good. ]
action;;
It's good enough fare. Sometimes, we just have to hope for the best here- it always depends on the planets we come across, what sort of decent drink we're able to get hold of.
Re: action;;
It's no Antivan Port, but it will suffice for the time being.
action;;
[NO IT WON'T. ]
action;;
[ AHAHA. RIP. ]
action;;
[There's an awkward pause, Fenris is really not skilled in small talk- but it says something about Dorian that he's at least willing to try it. ]
Are you settling well into the Fleet?
action;;
As well as can be expected, given the circumstances. [ A beat. ] Is everyone in the Fleet incessantly helpful, or have I just come at the opportune time? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
[ Not much, anyway. ]
action;;
It depends on the people. For the large part, we understand we are a community of sorts, and attempt to help one another live in this strange place. Some are more considerate than others.
action;;
[ Definitely not yours, Fenris, but that's okay. Here he is, monopolizing your time. ]
Tell me something interesting. [ Which is a very vague request, but it at least gives Fenris room for interpretation. ]
action;;
Um... like what...exactly?
action;;
Anything. How your time here has been, what you dislike about it, your favorite reads and guilty pleasures..
[ Breaking the ice, y/n? ]
action;;
[THOSE ARE LOTS OF VERY DIFFERENT OPTIONS, DORIAN. ]
...I have enjoyed my time here? It is better than my time in Exsilium and miles better than Thedas.
action;;
[ Hopefully this doesn't sound like an interview, he's just very curious. And bored. ]
action;;
Hm. It was a country on Earth or...the remains of it, anyway. A group called the Initiative pulled people from all sorts of worlds- as Atroma does here. They essentially drafted us into a war against the United Earth- who wished to hold dominion over everything, and destroy all that stood in their way.
[There's a pause, because this is always the crazy bit:]
We fought via time travel- going into the past and essentially undoing United Earth's work, weakening them in the past so they did not have the power they would in the present.
action;;
That's remarkable! How did they achieve time travel? Was it magic, or technology? Or perhaps it was like the situation we are in now where it's unknown?
action;;
[He checked. A lot.]
Though it was beyond my understanding- how it worked. We simply went where we were sent- and did our best to create a more...favourable timeline.
action;;
And you were successful?
action;;
action;;
action;;
I did wish to return home at the time. Now? Given what happens to our world, I think I would rather avoid it. I doubt it is going to get any better.
action;;
[ Which is how things seem to be in Thedas in general. Perhaps it's just their origins that are cursed despite what they do. ]
