driftfleet | 001 || video;

Who: Leliana
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: now!

[It took some fiddling, but Leliana managed to make the video broadcast work. For a moment, she doesn't speak, not realizing it was on. When it dawns on her, the surprise is there before her expression relaxes.]

My apologies, the technologies of this place are lost on me. I suppose this is the best course of action if I want information, no? I am looking for comrades of mine - Cullen, Josephine, and Inquisitor Trevelyn. I do not know if they are here but it is my understanding from what I have managed to glean from this... device - that they could very well be newly arrived, the same as I.

[Which is something that troubles her. They were all very much needed back home in Thedas not here - wherever here was.]

Those wishing to aid me in finding my people may address me as Sister Nightingale. I thank you very much in advance.

[With that, she ends the video feed. A polite and succinct post, yes, but internally she was already assessing her situation, analyzing the threat she might very well be under.]

[Ah. The 'other' him sounded so strange when she had her friend right in front of her. It must have been heartbreaking for Riona.]

What did you say to her when you were told?

[~~Because so help her if you goofed up on letting her down gently, Alistair-!!~~ This was just a royal mess, honestly. She's hating this whole time/space travel garbage even more, just seeing what an awkward situation the two of them were in.]

Ummm. I think mostly I just stared at her? Then I asked if she was... happy. With... him? Me? The other me. Whatever.

Oh, I'm sure it was still you in a sense. The Maker is strange that way - and perhaps it is not unlike some sort of Magic that has changed events for you.

[Because damn it she's refusing to believe he's anyone but her Alistair. Maybe he just got hit on the head??? ~~He'd have to be to marry Anora.~~]

Varric thinks there are... well. Different realities. Different versions of the same world that all exist but we wouldn't normally be aware of the others. That Fenris fellow seems to think so, too.

Perhaps. There's a man back home that works with the Inquisition from Tevinter who knows much of time and spacial magic. Apparently it is possible to transition between the future and the past - perhaps it is also true that one can change events as a result, creating different versions of events.

[She's... still not completely convinced. She definitely remembers Riona but how does that explain this Elven Inquisitor she's been told of? Or Varric who does not know of the Inquisition? Or Fenris who did not know the same Hawke as she?]

This warrants more study, no?

I... suppose so. I don't know how you'd go about doing it, though.
