001.

Who: Marian Hawke & you.
Broadcast: Fleet wide
Action: MARSIVA, aww yeah.
When: Now, until shuffle.



[ Maker's balls it is cold.

Waking up in strange places isn't so unusual in Marian's Hawke's life, she's fairly to it by now, so she barely bats a sleepy eye when she rolls over and curls in on herself. Half mumbled words tumbling from her lips in a incoherently mess, fingers curling around whatever they can grasp in a desperate attempt to conserve heat. This continues for a good few moments until the woman manages to roll straight onto the cold metal floor. ]


─Aahh! [ There is no better way of waking someone up than a quick drop onto a cold floor - well... a bucket of water would have done as well, but thankfully there are no buckets to be seen.

It has her awake, alert as someone still gluggy with sleep can be, mope of black hair strewn about this way and that. Heart thundering in her chest a hand raises to rub the sleep from her eyes, jaw lock in evident irritation. ]
Stupid Wardens, how is anyone supposed to sleep in a cot so small... [ The realization comes slow, the metal walls of the ship close enough to blurred vision to make her think she's still in Weisshaupt waiting for old men to pull their collective sticks from their asses. ] Never thought I'd miss camping out in caves─Hello...

[ Ah, there it is, that little light bulb that flicks on and says "This isn't Weisshaupt, Toto" - or it would if Hawke had any any who or what Toto was. Regardless she inhales sharp and reaches for her staff, smooth wood a comfort as she uses it to stands herself up. ]

I see we've gone to the Grey Wardens school of decor. [ A bit boring she has to say, rather bland. No dirt, no drunkard puking his guts out in the corner, no wet dog smell. Frankly it is kind of disappointing.

Once her bearings are gather it takes Hawke all of a few moments to start snooping, trying to find something - anything - to tell her where exactly she's managed to find herself now. Eventually her combings finds her a device, odd little thing that she promptly starts playing with legs across upon the very bench she woke up on. A few hours of poking has her come to a few conclusions, one; this thing is weird, two; she can swear she has seen something like this before, and three; she can talk to people on it. At least she thinks she can.

A wild guess as her flick the feed on, though the camera is at a slight angle, all smiles and more than obvious bed hair. You'd almost have no idea that she is perhaps a little rattled by all of this with the way she looks. ]


Good morning, or is it afternoon? Honestly I have no bloody idea, I tried to fun the sun but it seems that I have misplaced that alongside of almost everything else. No matter, I'm sure it'll all turn up somehow.

I'm Hawke, by the way - best to get introductions out of the way early - and I have two very important questions to ask you... [ Trailing off the screws up her nose slightly before shaking her head. ] Is there a bar nearby and how can I get there?

[He notices. He's hyperaware of all her body language, every glance and every flinch, and to be perfectly honest any Hawke without their spark is just, well. It's not something he likes to see.

He pretends he doesn't notice, and snaps his fingers instead.]


There you are! Now who could say no to a bid like that, hm?

[beat]

Well, it's more likely that they'll just ignore it completely, to be perfectly honest. But they say effort is its own reward, yes? Somebody, anyway. [his smile broadens, bright and brittle] Certainly not me.

[He's looked pathetic and foolish for most of his life. For all his experience, he's decided he much prefers that to the alternative, which he's fairly certain is being boxed out of her life entirely, in this case. Normally he's fine with that. This time he isn't.

The reality is, he doesn't actually know that many details about Kirkwall (he would, for example, still be bamboozled by the title "Champion," even after a spring and a summer spent sleeping with The Man Himself). For a long time the only person who had been present in Kirkwall during those years even remotely willing to talk to him about it was Hawke, and between the two of them navigating that topic had been— complicated.]


You're going to have to be more specific, you've just described [he pretends to think about it, counts on his fingers] oh, just about everyone I've ever met in my entire life, I think. Save for the blood mages, of course. But I hardly think they count, do you?

[One thing that never really goes away is that twinge of jealousy he feels any time Hawke (any Hawke) talks about their family. On the whole, he's glad too. Any mage outside the Circle is better than that same mage in it. But that doesn't stop the pinch of pettiness behind his sternum.

He smiles anyway.]


You'd think that magic inside would be more acceptable than outside. [A hum, idle.] Until you turn the drapes into ice sculptures, I suppose, hard to explain that one away.
