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.

[killedwithlove]

... Oh.

I don't understand. That's okay.

[tallasaking]

It is rather complicated. It has to do with something called DNA - a principle I have yet to truly grasp.

Basically, it means I was lucky, for once, to be born a dwarf and nothing else.

[killedwithlove]

... I thought you were a human, not a dwarf?

[tallasaking]

Ah ... yes, in your world they are two different species. In mine, you can be a human dwarf. In fact all dwarves are human, despite what their fathers might say.

[killedwithlove]

Oh.

You'd just be a little human in Thedas.

[tallasaking]

Are little humans in Thedas only four feet and some odd inches tall?

[killedwithlove]

I don't know. I don't know most of the people in Thedas.

[tallasaking]

...Cole have you ever noticed that our conversations tend to twist in the oddest directions that leave even I confused?

[killedwithlove]

... no?

[This is how all his conversations go.]

[tallasaking]

Well, just as long as it is me going insane, and not you.

[killedwithlove]

Most people find conversations with me strange and confusing.

I don't know why.

[tallasaking]

Possibly because you think in different ways, my friend.

[killedwithlove]

Yes. I don't think like a mortal. Or like a spirit, anymore.

[tallasaking]

So you think like Cole. Not a bad way to think at all.

[killedwithlove]

I think like me.

It confuses people, but it's just how I am. I don't mean to confuse them.

[tallasaking]

Well, we all have parts that are confusing.

[killedwithlove]

Yes.

That's why I like nugs. Nugs don't.

[tallasaking]

...and what precisely are nugs again?

[killedwithlove]

They're an animal. They mostly live underground, but some in the Dales have started living in the forest, under shrubs and in burrows.

They have little eyes and big ears and no fur. And hands. Sera hates them, she says they're creepy with creepy hands, but I like nugs. They just want to be warm and fed.

[tallasaking]

Huh. Well ... they sound interesting. Why do they have hands, I wonder. [His lips twitch up.] Ah, don't we all just want to be warm and fed.

[killedwithlove]

Maybe to climb.

Or because they pick the smallest gemstones out of the dirt and make a little hoard.

[tallasaking]

...wait are you telling me that nugs not only have tiny hands but they're tiny miners as well?

[killedwithlove]

Maybe.

They can like things that sparkle.

[tallasaking]

Well, I suppose we are all like that.

[killedwithlove]

I think so. Maybe.
