video ♪ take a walk on the wild side
Who: Varric and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Varric's bar on the Iskaulit
When: Now
[video;]
[Like Varric's promotional videos before, the feed does a slow pan of the dive that he owns. And then it centers on the bartop, which has a line of wine bottles on it. The glass is black and so are the labels aside from the gold skull and the words VELENO VENO.
Varric pulls up a seat in front of the camera. He's dressed in his best-- a black and gold embroidered silk shirt, buttoned only halfway because of course. And he's wearing a grin, of course.]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Varric Tethras, owner and proprietor of the Space Bar, and today... I've got something new and exciting for you. [He grabs a bottle of wine and pops it open with a flourish. Then he pours it into a glass. It's black with just a little dark purple in the light.] In Tevinter, wine made from venomous snakes is considered sacred. Well, as sacred as anything in Tevinter can be. It's long been associated with virility, purity of body, and curing difficult ailments. But don't worry, this is animal-free. Snakes are disgusting. Don't eat snakes. Also, Tevinter sucks.
Instead of drinking reptiles, consider this wine: beautiful and deadly, like that woman sitting at the corner of the bar that you're scared to talk to. The wine has notes of persimmon and apple-- as well as a dash of water from the toxic moon.
[Varric's grin broadens. He lifts the glass to his lips and takes a sip.]
Mmm. We only made a few cases, so get it while you can. 500 credits for a bottle with a thrill.
[And the feed ends.]

[What. A. Cutie.]
The pleasure's all mine, Elize. [He says it and he means it, though if anyone calls him out on his kid bias he will probably punch them in the nads.]
no subject
[ Recently, little Elize has been trying to step up more and more ever since Cassandra left. Seeing Fenris not doing much of a job as a first mate kind of bothers her... and he's older than her! And she's just worried because he's a friend. ]
no subject
[He sighs.]
So. No, it doesn't bother me. Because the alternative makes me accessory to murder. Without getting paid.
no subject
...I understand. [ Atroma is a jerk and Varric is a good man. It relieves her a bit to hear that he's fine being the captain in charge doing all the things.
Then there's the return of the paper rustle. ]
Cassandra taught me to always keep an emergency cache of supplies on the Pathstone. If you require the assistance, I am willing to support the Tourist as well.
[ She wasn't planning to pressure Fenris any further about doing work, seeing as how her chiding towards him during her visit hardly had any effect. Although she's asking to offer assistance now, she's already started bringing useful gifts to Fenris... ]

Thanks, Elize.Same goes to you. If everyone ends up broke like they were a couple months ago and you need something-- anything-- my door is open.
[He gives Elize the same offer he gives his adult friends.]
video
...Y-yes! I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Varric!
[ Now her tone sounds more natural, cheerful. Clearly that part wasn't written on paper or rehearsed. ]
no subject
You're welcome.
[A pause, and his voice softens.]
I'm sorry about Cullen. Are you okay over there?
no subject
[ She says quietly to herself, though it can still be faintly heard over the communicator. She would cry a lot before, but she's fine now. ]
It's okay. I'm okay! I'm going to tell Cullen all about what he missed out on next time I see him.
