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.]

You might have to treat him as if he is a different person but... I am not so sure how easily that is done for me. He still feels the same, no?

[And honestly it makes her kind of angry that something so important could be easily changed for him. Not that it's his fault. Magic had a hand in this and for all she supported Mages, there were those who could do such terrible things if pushed to that point.]

I wish there was more I could do.

[Anora isn't here and Alistair may be stubborn but damned if she didn't hope his feelings might sway towards Riona again, Maker willing.]

[bryces_pup]

Towards you, I would think. From what I gather, your relationship is more or less the same in his Thedas as it is in ours.

[Leliana has little to change on her end of things.]

It's all right. He's here, and even if he's not the Alistair from our world, he's still Alistair. And I am happy enough with that.

[...mostly. There is a small little kernel in her that wishes the same as Leliana, that somehow he'll fall in love with her again. But it's not a desire she'll give voice to. She cannot expect him to do that. He is engaged to another; his life is different.]

Oh, listen to us. So much for this being a happy reunion.

[nugqueen]

Mmm. But it is still a happy one - we have our friendship still solidly intact. The Maker saw fit to grant us that, at least.

[Or whatever gods saw to this place. It was lucky, honestly. They could have punished Riona with her best friend and her husband who didn't know her.]

I can't wait to see you in person. It would make the reunion sweeter, no?

[bryces_pup]

Yes, it is. You're right. Perhaps it's the Maker, or Atroma feeling particularly kind for some reason.

[Suspicious, but she knows better than to look the gift horse in the mouth. Especially since she cannot do anything against said gift horse.]

Much. Hopefully that can occur in a few days. It's been a bit since the last shuffle.
