Who: adelina & you
Broadcast: video
Action: on the marsiva
When: now

[the young woman in the video awakes with a start, sitting up hurriedly and looking around... before giving a sharp noise of frustration. she doesn't stay in the same area long, instead wandering the halls of the marsiva with a frown. to nobody in particular:]

Honestly, I'm becoming quite tired of this kind of thing. It's terribly rude to do this to a person once, let alone twice, you realize?

[a while later, a video broadcast appears.]

If one departs from this place and then unfortunately reappears, are they typically brought to the same ship they inhabited the previous time?

You could begin with not being facetious when people are attempting to help you.

Er - sorry. [ Sad puppy! ] It's a thing I do. Old habit.

It's quite alright. It's merely something to keep in mind.

Oh, but - I'm afraid I've forgotten my manners. My name is Adelina.

All right, but you must have fun sometimes, right?

And my name's Alistair. Nice to meet you.

Was there something I said that indicated otherwise?

The pleasure is all mine.

N - No, just - well, what do you do for fun? Around here, I mean?

Oh! Oh, my apologies, I misunderstood. Have you visited the station we're currently visiting? Some parts of it are lovely. It depends what you consider enjoyable, though, of course.

Yes, I've checked it out, I just - well, it's all terribly confusing. Have you found any books?

I haven't as of yet, no. I'll let you know if I'm able to locate a place that sells books, though. What sort do you enjoy reading?

Um... adventures? I mean, you don't have to, I'm just sort of... asking around. Not much here is very familiar, you know?

I don't have them written down, but if you're looking to hear stories of adventure, I could find a way to record tales from my world.

Oh, I wouldn't ask you to do anything like that. I mean, not just for my benefit...

It's no trouble. Perhaps we could arrange a trade... You could tell me about your life if I did the same. It could be an interesting way to pass the time.

Oh, my life isn't much, really, it's pretty boring.

I doubt that very much.

Really! I didn't exactly do much, things just happen to me.

Then I'd like to hear what happened to you.

Well, uh. The Arl of Redcliffe looked after me until I was about ten, when his wife decided she didn't want me around anymore. So then they packed me off to a monastery, and I trained to be a templar. Then the Grey Warden, Duncan came around, and he recruited me for the Wardens.

Then the Blight hit, and - [ his face falls a little. ] All the Wardens died except me and one other, and we had to unite the lands to defeat it. She did most of the work - the other warden that is, and afterwards, they made me king.

[oh look, one of her pings.]

...What is the Blight?

[ He's used to explaining this by now, so he rattles it off like he's done it several times: ]

Monsters called darkspawn invade the land and kill everything they touch. The Grey Wardens exist to stop it.

That's horrible. Though... Everything they touch? Is there no way to fight against them for anyone but these Grey Warden people?

Well, anyone can fight darkspawn, but Grey Wardens are the only ones immune to the taint, so if you're not, then you're at risk.

I see. What precisely makes them immune?

...stuff. We do stuff. Stuff we're not supposed to talk about, but the important part is, we are immune, and we're the only ones who can kill archdemons. - the creatures who lead the horde.

So you're a bit like a knight, then? You fight monsters.
