Who: Robin!
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Not unless it gets weird!
When: About a day after his supposed murder.

[the feed crackles on to show Robin, looking very much alive and in a shirt that doesn't have a big hole in it, thank you. he's crouched somewhere on one of those Floot Loop stations, probably. he's got his back to one of those big LED displays, which means... unless you want to check every single bright, animated ad in every station within range, he's going to be kind of tricky to find.

he... waves, though he doesn't look like he's very happy to see you either, to be honest.]

Hello. I'm not dead, since I assume that rumor has spread far and wide by now.

And I would love to have a calm, rational conversation about all of this before someone tries to kill me again. What have I missed? Catch me up.

[something about that at least lightens his mood, a little. he can manage an apathetic smile.]

I believe Fenris is an ex-slave himself, so his opinion is a little biased. I fully understand why he's upset, but I can promise that I'm not keeping people chained up on my ship or... forcing them into manual labor, or whatever you'd do with a slave around here.

Yeah, that's what Varric was saying.

I'm still not convinced it's a good reason to kill somebody, especially since you're not chaining him up and forcing him into manual labor, but... [He scratches his head.] Well, so long as you're not actually dead, I guess no harm no foul.

[Axel narrows his eyes a little.]

How'd you manage that, anyway? From where I was standing, you looked pretty dead. [He ventures a hint of a grin.] You didn't make a deal with a demon, didja? 'Cuz I hear those don't work out too well.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, don't worry. They don't even have demons where I'm from.

[but he's not about to explain that he's immortal, unkillable, fueled by magic--so he manages a charming wink and a bit of a smirk.]

But it's a trade secret, you see. Good magicians don't explain their tricks.

[Axel knows that look; he's given it numerous times. Very well, he won't press the issue. He can't deny he's awfully curious now, though.]

Fair enough. Let's just hope you don't have to use that trick again anytime soon.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I'll agree to that, yeah.

[he could sure stand to get "killed" a little less around here.]
