001 // too much time

[serpentis]

Who: DORIAN THE EXPLORIAN (Dorian Pavus)
Broadcast: Video, fleet-wide
Action: The Marsiva~
When: 1/21

[Dorian spends a fair deal of time poking around the ship before deciding to try out sending a broadcast. He's not entirely certain how he knows how to use the device, only that he does, and that almost unnerves him.

Still, his voice is pleasant, almost chipper.]

Well, if this isn't a curious little jaunt that I didn't exactly expect to take this afternoon. I do hope someone might be able to enlighten me as to where, exactly, I am...and when, for that matter. ...and where one might find passable reading material would also be appreciated.

I was thinking of doing just that, actually.

And who might you be?

Good, good. My name is Robin, like the bird.

[serpentis]

Like the bird...I see. I am Dorian Pavus. A pleasure.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

A pleasure indeed. Where are you from, Dorian?

The Tevinter Imperium, most recently of Minrathos, but I've found myself spending time to the south, as well. Not that I assume this means much to you, unless you're from Thedas.

[he's got a smile on his face... even though that all flew over his head, yeah.]

Not remotely, I'm afraid, but I'm also from somewhere that most here have never heard of.

What are those places like?

Lovely when the climate is temperate, though I'm afraid that is weather only. The political climate is never comforting, but I will see that changed.

Worldly and determined, I like that...

What's the problem with politics there? Aside from the obvious one where there are politics there.

The Magisterium is a veritable nest of vipers, and not in the sense that my homeland uses a snake as its symbol.

They are ruthless, power-hungry, will stop at nothing to grasp for the own power. Anything that doesn't fall into their schemes and society. Any deviation from the norm of excesses and assassinations is quickly snuffed out.

Hm. Your disgust sounds completely sensible.

It is perhaps fortunate that around here, our hosts seem to be passive-aggressive, at worst. Very little tyranny, thus far.
