Who: hawke & you.
Broadcast: fleetwide text.
Action: varric's bar on the iskaulit.
When: a few hours after this exchange.

friends and crewmates
this is hawke speaking ? typing? look i have decided to drink myself into the most pleasant stupor possible but then i thought why drink alone? so i have decided to formally invite whoever is interested to come and join me at my favorite dwarfs bar floor because drinking with friends is fun

but hawke we arent friends you say?? come introduce yourself already we will become very good friends drinking friends

[ That seems to be the end of it, for a few moments at least until another message appears. ]

varric
can i borrow your bed and your blankets and you

[ If you do decide to go looking for the woman behind the broadcast you will most certainly find her at Varric's bar, draped upon the bar with a bottle already in hand. She's dressed rather casual today in little more than her dark brown breeches, boots, a loose tunic, and her arms wrapped up from the elbows down in worn bandages, dark hair a ruffled mess. A picture of a woman who has lost control of her life and burying it all deep in the bottom of the bottle she is nursing.

Come, come, drink with her, play a few games of cards, or sing terrible tavern songs! It doesn't really matter much, honestly, as long as she isn't thinking. ]

... All three at the same time?

[Did someone spike his beer?]

I think maybe you've had enough, Hawke.

[ofkirkwall]

yes all three
nooo ive only had one maybe two

[merchantprince]

Bullshit. You know where my room is. Do you need help getting there?

Very sleepy text

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Pinkie hasn't really had much of a chance to talk with Hawke or Son Goku yet, and usually she's a decently heavy sleeper, but the light from Hawke's communicator rouses her out of sleep and... even with the dim lighting and the grogginess, she can tell that smile is really, REALLY distressed. And then Hawke starts heading for the shuttles and beats Pinkie there before she can stow away do anything about it. So a couple of seconds into the flight, Hawke will get a text from the Caprine. Whether she texts and flies or leaves it be until she gets to the bar is up to her.]

Hey Hawke it's Pinkie. You okay?

[ofkirkwall]

yes im perfectly fine
no problems here

[wolfuncaged]

[It takes him about an hour to try and read that, he still doesn't get a LOT of it, but there's one part he's stuck on. ]

...You are on Varric's floor?

[ofkirkwall]

[ Oh she's sober enough not to reply with text, because Fenris and reading is still a work in progress, right? Yes. ]

Not yet.

what happened now

[ofkirkwall]

nothing
im just dont like drinking alone

[ Why do people think something has to happen for anyone, particularly her, to enjoy a numerous amount of drinks. ]

[bryces_pup]

bravo to handling a drunken invitation better than I did. I can come join you but I will probably hold off on alcohol for the most part.

[ofkirkwall]

[Hawke. That's a name he knows only by reputation. He knows it because Fenris knows it, even if the personage of Hawke tended to be open to some interpretation. Regardless, it's curiosity that has him wander in.

It's the first time he's been in Varric's bar and he can't say he's especially impressed and the flat expression on his face says as much. Hawke isn't hard to miss, at least.

He silently invites himself into the seat next to her, angled sideways to face her.]

Hawke, I presume?

[ofkirkwall]

[ She's picking at the bar when he approaches, amusing herself with lines and a half hummed song she can't honestly remember where she had heard it before. That all stops when he speaks, head turning to greet him with a exaggerated smile. ]

The very one, unless you met another Hawke then you have the privilege of meeting the prettier one.

Is this how people in your realm make friends?

[ofkirkwall]

of course!

[invigorates]

[ surely she's seen hawke in here countless times before, probably served her if varric or one of the others hadn't gotten to her first — but has she seen her this shitfaced before? we just don't know. she's sure as hell seen a lot of thedosians shitfaced recently though.

she steps over, arms resting on the bar as she leans over. ]

Hawke, yes? I do not believe we have had the pleasure of meeting properly yet. [ maybe talking will distract her from putting down another drink. ]

[ofkirkwall]

[ She's seen her before, definitely, made note of her one more than one occasion during her many trips to the bar to visit Varric or... well she always tends to come here to see her dwarven friend. The drinks are just a fun added bonus.

So she doesn't tense up as much, doesn't smile as hard, only shifts her weight on the back of the stool a little more and cocks her head to the side. ]

I think you might be right, quite a terrible shame.

[universal_charm]

Out of curiosity... you wouldn't happen to be the Hawke Fenris knows, would you?

[ofkirkwall]

i certainly hope so
considering how well he knows me

[ She definitely giggled like a teenager at that. ]

[Hawke? Robb recognizes that name and he frowns a little in front of the communicator. Is this the same man that used to be the head of security at the Blue Fish? Or another, mayhaps.

So after giving it a good 5 minute thought Robb responds to the message:]

if i wish to drink with you, where can i find the dwarf bar?

[Is that where the Imp works now?]

[ofkirkwall]

its on a ship
the isasomething and doesnt look like space

[ That's helpful... right? ]
