driftfleet | I've done my sentence but committed no crime

Who: Adalwolfe Hawke and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: Nowish

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...

[Interesting. So the Fade really is just something Thedosian. Maybe he should write this stuff down, get it published if he's ever returned to Thedas... and get ridiculed for being a complete crazy talking about other worlds with ships that float through space. Yup, sounds like a plan.]

Relatively. It's been almost a month. How long have you been here.

[Always the best plan.]

Four months.

So some time, then.

[Hmm...]

In that time, has Atroma made any direct contact with anyone in the fleet?

[Totally not his initial thoughts when he'd made his broadcast a moment ago, wondering about the different magics of different worlds, but the question just popped into his head and he decided to go with that instead for now. He can come back to magic later.]

No. I've heard that the "hosts" talk to us sometimes. I haven't seen it personally. They went silent before I arrived.

I bet there's some stuff in the archives if you know how to look.

Went silent? That's ominous.

If I wasn't on my way to work, I would go through them now but I'll have to wait until later.

[Speaking of, he might be late if he keeps this up, but you don't just bail on a spirit. There could be consequences.]

I guess. Apparently they weren't very informative before.

[A pause.]

You have a job here? [He can't imagine there's a whole lot to do. The ship is very, very large... and mostly empty.]

Considering the information I have already is next to none, I'll take what I can get.

[He shrugs.]

Yes, at Malum. The owner needed some help so I offered. Considering everyone uses private communication devices mostly, there isn't a lot I need to do on the First Breath unless something happens, so I thought I would help out.

[He pays in credits and alcohol. It was too good to pass up.]
