Broadcast: Video, and open!
Action: The Marsiva.
When: Thursday afternoon
[video;]
[The feed opens with a glorious shot of a gold-embroidered scarlet tunic-- a nice, slow pan across the gently furred planes of a man's chest, the brassy necklace resting across his collarbone, the dip of his throat--
-- and then he punches the camera upward.]
Ha ha, all right, you've had your fill. Stubborn metal piece of shit. [Varric looks none-too-amused.] Just tell me who took all my wine and maybe, maybe I won't tear the walls down.
[He leans back and rubs at his face. While he's usually pretty sharp and charismatic, right now there's a glimpse of how tired he is.]
Something tells me I'm gonna need it after you all tell me what happened while I was--
[A pause. He glances offscreen, takes in the sight of the stars and the hospitality deck of the Marsiva. Kidnapped three times? Really? What the hell is his life?]
-- somewhere else.

[There's a lot to dissect there, but Dorian seems genuine enough.]

Sparkler! You're a sight for sore eyes. Still wagging your impeccably-curled mustache at people, I see.

[Translation don't you ever do that again you big dumb idiot.]
Are we to pay for that show? You should certainly be charging admission.

[He pops the collar of his duster.]
You're right, I need to get a head start on rebuilding my credits. Easiest way is to bait the audience, you know-- and then give VIP members a discount that won't break the bank.

You remember being here before?
no subject
Yeah, I do. [He rubs at his chin-scruff.] I'm not sure I've heard of that happening before. I sure as hell don't remember being anywhere else aside from, you know, home. Which I am still mad about.
And they still haven't let me see Bianca. I can understand keeping two lovers apart for the drama, but it's getting kinda old.
no subject
[So uh, yeah. this is unusual. You can tell on his face he's trying to mull over the possibilities.]
[And yeah, like any sane human being he's assuming Bianca is a woman]
Oh, I'm sorry...I'd imagine it would be difficult being worlds apart from the person you love.

Things you will be remiss you weren't around to see, to write about first-hand. There were insect monsters.
[HE KILLED LOADS OF THEM, BE PROUD DWARFDAD :D ]
no subject
Thank the Maker.]
Oh, please. Giant spiders that could rip off a man's head? Been there, done that. You were there.
no subject
These were different. They had minds of their own, they had been infected by some...fungus? I am not sure of the details.

Shirley has to take a moment to make sure she's not dreaming here. And then a second moment, just to be sure.]
Varric? You're...you're back!
Video
Roses! Yeah, I'm back. I'm on the big ugly ship for a while, though.
How are you holding up?

Welcome back, Varric.

I'm sorry you're here, too. [It's a joke.] Kirkwall needs you more than it ever needed me.

Varric! You came back! Or you came here and you're a different you from the last you, but that's okay, I like this you just as much! Solas went away too, and it makes more sense when you explain things, but Jove's been explaining, and she does fairly well, but you have clearer words.
[video]
Don't worry too much, Kid. I think I'm the same as before. [He smiles a bit. He kinda enjoyed teaching Cole to be human? It was... a nice feeling. Being paternal. Not having to worry about Cole blowing up buildings. The worst is like, maybe misplacing his hat or pissing off Fenris.] Maybe we'll get lucky this time and end up on the same ship.
You been doing all right?

She might have stolen the wine, dude. A smirk tells him she's not sorry.
She'll share her algae booze with him, tho. She'll even move out of frame and show it sitting behind her. Coming back into frame, and gestures her hand to tell him to come over.]

What kind of beer is that? It's got a color like-- shit, like something growing on a piece of bread.
