Tourist Mingle!

[got_it_memorized]

[Well, Tourists, your captain is feeling a little foolish after napping for an entire month. There are a couple of you he's hardly even met yet, so let's have us a mingle and get to know one another. The way-stations don't have a lot of interesting stuff, really, but sometimes putting three not terribly interesting things together makes something awesome. Like s'mores. That's right, everyone, you're all getting a text telling you to drop by the kitchen, where Axel will be tending a little fire. Don't worry, it's magic, so we're not gonna get smoked out. Chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers will be provided, but we don't have any sticks, sorry. Guess you'll have to roast your marshmallows on a fork.

[Come chat, come eat, come glower at merrymaking if you're Fenris.]

Please That sounds like an excuse if ever I heard one.

[Fucking mages and their lies to make them look better. ]

Not unless the plant boy does something foolish, no.

[Like Fenris will ever turn down a drink. ]

At least it can't be as terrible as that Froot Loops concoction.

[Varric agrees, but he's quieter about it. Maybe the Circle wasn't the best option, but there's nothing wrong with mentors and guides. Maybe if someone had kept a closer watch on Anders... god, maybe Varric could've prevented all that. He... isn't sure. It's a dark road, that.]

Plant boy?

[There's no cups handy, but Varric is fine with taking a drink straight out of the bottle and passing it to Fenris. It's been that kind of week. He winces as the fire goes down.]

It tastes like it was brewed in the Viscount's bathtub. At least it isn't watered down.

[wolfuncaged]

I forget his name, you will no doubt see him eventually. He is actually made of plants. But apparently not a demon?

[He's not 100% sure on that one. But hey, drinking out of the bottle is what he does on the regular, so he'll swig. He's less bothered by the fire, but that's what solving your problems with alcohol (and violence) does to you. ]

At least it isn't as potent as water.

[Look, he'll even hand it back. ]

[merchantprince]

[Varric is surprised he's getting the booze back, so he takes another drink.]

Like the girl with magic who isn't a mage?

[And he passes it back.]

At some point this place will stop surprising me.

[wolfuncaged]

So it seems. Yes.

[He gives a soft, annoyed huff. ]

That, I doubt. Exsilium always found a way to surprise me, and this place is no different.

...Except that I don't have to go into any more time machines.

[Because seriously, fuck time machines. ]

[merchantprince]

[He pulls a face.]

Thank the Maker. I have enough misadventures as it is without throwing time travel into it.

[OH VARRIC, WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.................]

[wolfuncaged]

It is a miserable thing to do. I do not recommend it.

[Sorry, Varric. It sucks. ]
