Who: Cole
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Pathstone unless asked to go somewhere
When: Now-ish?


[The broadcast is very unusual, coming from Cole. He replies, sometimes, but he very rarely initiates communication through the network.

The camera points at the ceiling, catching just the edge of Cole's hat. He has it in his lap but doesn't try to look into it.]

I need someone who is able to kill me if I turn into a demon. Cassandra promised to, but she's gone and Jove and Solas said they would, but with them gone, I need someone to make sure I'm not a danger to people.

Comments

[girlverine]

Mm.

[Oh right.]

What is your name?

[killedwithlove]

Oh. Cole. I'm Cole.

I don't like the communicators, I find it hard to see through them, or know anything. It's cold.

[girlverine]

They remind me of phones.

[A beat.]

My name is Laura.

[killedwithlove]

We don't have phones in Thedas, but I know about them from here.

Laura. I haven't known a Laura before.

[girlverine]

Do you have anything similar?

Mm. Laura is a common name on my world.

[killedwithlove]

Um, I don't think so. Some mages use communication spells?

[girlverine]

[Okay, wait, she's already learned about stuff like this. Worlds like this.]

You are from a 'low technology' world, yes?

[killedwithlove]

... I don't know.

You're not here, so I don't know what that means.

[girlverine]

Do you have electricity in...Thedas?

[killedwithlove]

Maybe. I don't know that word.

[girlverine]

If you did, you would know it. Everyone would know it.

[killedwithlove]

Oh. Then I suppose not. What is electricity?

[girlverine]

It...is an energy that is used to power appliances and lights.

The ships run on it. [Probably.]

[killedwithlove]

I thought the ships ran on fuel.

[girlverine]

Fuel would be used to generate electricity.

[killedwithlove]

Oh. Okay.

... how?

[girlverine]

I don't know. I have never had to learn about how engines work.

[killedwithlove]

Okay.

[Just like that, he accepts that she doesn't know either.]

Thank you. For explaining about electricity.

[girlverine]

[She'll just nod.]

...Can you explain anything about demons?

[killedwithlove]

What do you want to know? I don't know lots like Solas, but I know a bit.

[girlverine]

Would you look like you? Or is a transformation?

[killedwithlove]

... I don't know.

I suppose, like Despair. Silent. Cold. Floating.

[girlverine]

So, like you do now, but floating. And...sad?

[Laura doesn't really do metaphors.]

[killedwithlove]

[It's not a metaphor. Cole doesn't do metaphors.]

Not sad. Despairing. Cold and chilled and wrung out.

[girlverine]

I don't understand.
