Broadcast

[The video pops up with Adalwolfe's face centered in the camera, but with the background moving behind him, clearly showing the familiar corridors of the Iskaulit. He's making his way to his new job at Málum as bartender.]

So I noticed on the list of scheduled lectures posted a bit ago that there are several on magic, not to mention several people I've spoken with having positive or relaxed reactions to its use. It's incredibly strange to me that everyone is so open and accepting of this, considering the doctrine regarding magic in my home of Thedas, so it begs the following question and I hope at least someone from outside of Thedas will indulge me:

What is magic like on your world? Is it regulated? Does everyone have the ability to use it, or only a small number of people? Are there prejudices that go along with that.

Ah, well, I suppose that's more than one question. Still, if you're willing to talk about it, please feel free to respond to this post and I'll get back to you when I'm finished with work. Thank you!

[The video clicks off.]


Action

It's only a short walk from the hanger to the bar, but Adalwolfe takes his time since he can't watch where he's going very well as he's recording on his device. Which could lead to all kinds of problems. He seems to be avoiding walls okay, but if a person, say, came out of a corridor nearby or happened to step in front of him at just the right time before he put down the little screen, he might just bowl right into them, or walk right past without noticing a mischievous foot out for him to trip over. Honestly, he's an open target. Or at least seems like it...

[ Bowling right into someone seems about right, because even if Jihwan's mildly paying attention to where he's going, the last thing he expects it so be hit by the wall of muscle that is Hawke. He jsut just enough time to look up before he's knocked clean off his feet and winds up sprawled on his back with a sound of surprise. ]

--Hey! Watch it!

[wolfehawke]

[Adalwolfe, for all his aforementioned wall of muscle, gets pushed sideways from the impact instead of knocked over, but he's quick to shove his device in his pocket and whip to look at who he might have hurt.]

Jihwan!

[He leans down to offer a hand up.]

Are you hurt? I should have been paying more attention.

[residu]

[ His eyes are narrowed in a squint, but that's more out of reflex as he picks himself up, and--hallucinated magic from before or not--reaches out to accept the hand up. It isn't necessary, but the gesture's nice and he'd feel like an arse not to accept it. ]

Yeah, no kidding... [ he sighs. ] I'm fine. You?

[wolfehawke]

Just fine.

[It would take a lot more than Jihwan to even knock Adalwolfe down, let alone harm him.]

So what brings you to the Iskaulit?

[Small talk! How... awkward.]

[residu]

[ So, so awkward....... Especially considering the last time they met face-to-face properly. ]

....Fresh air? [ As fresh as recycled air ever gets, anyway. ]

[wolfehawke]

[He would have gone with a change of scenery, but not everyone thinks as quickly on their feet as he does.]

Ah, well, there's a garden actually, if you're looking for that. Probably the freshest air on the ship in there.

[Wow he's super lame.]

[residu]

[ HE'S KIND OF AN OLD MAN, but you know what? After several weeks in the sterile paradise of space, Jihwan wouldn't mind some greenery. So even if he stares he's going to wind up nodding thoughtfully after a moment, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

...Wasn't before, but it sounds nice enough. Know which way it's at?

[wolfehawke]

[He takes a moment to process that grammar, then nods.]

Just take a left down this corridor and another left up the next. It's the... second door down on that corridor, I think? Roughly. I've only been once so I could be misremembering.

[residu]

...You've only been there once but you remember all that? [ Colour him impressed, space-wizard ]

[wolfehawke]

It's only two turns and the door is labeled.

[Adalwolfe shrugs, just wondering why that would be difficult.]

Anyway, enjoy it. It's a lovely little garden.
