007 // blink and you'll miss a revolution
Who: Dorian!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: On the Three Twins
When: 5/26, night
Well, now that we've all gotten our fill of rampant debauchery, I thought I might pose a little question to you, Fleet. A more...somber question.
[Dorian looks considering for a moment, and when he speaks, he talks with his hands as much as his mouth. It seems like a subject he's certainly into, that's for sure.]
What would you do if, for example, you disagreed with the politics of your home? What measures would you go to? At what cost would you ensure that things were righted, were changed for the better?
[He raises a brow.]
Would you kill for it? Would you bring about chaos and disarray because the end would justify those means, as it were? How many deaths can be justified by a revolutionary change? 10? 100? Thousands? If it were for the greater good, how many lives could you sacrifice?
[He brings the hand back to his chin, thinking.]
Color me curious. What are your politics there?

Encrypted;
[And he did, but even Dorian knew that it would take both time and a steady hand and bloodshed to fix Tevinter...and he wondered sometimes if he was the right man for it, even as certain as he was at other times that this was necessary.]
Encrypted;
Thousands of years of oppression. Half-elves enslaving and killing humans in some parts, humans enslaving and killing half-elves in other parts. The rich and powerful exploiting the weaker every chance they get. It was a mess.
But...it's getting better now. The Human Ranches in Sylvarant are gone, the laws oppressing half-elves in Tethe'alla are being renounced- no more people are going to get killed as ritual sacrifices for the church.
Still got a long road to go...but I got to talk to someone from the future once. It's getting better, more than I thought it could.
So...I want to believe the same's possible for Tevinter.
