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...

[But the second part piques his interest more.]
As if no time had passed... do you think it's like that for us here, as well? Does time not march on while we're away?

[ She stops to consider, pausing for a moment before she speaks. ]
Honestly? I don't know just yet. It might be just the same - I'd like to think so. My dad will be going mental if he can't find me.
no subject
[He still wouldn't name a place "Drab World" though.]
I'd hope so too. I think. There are people who would notice my absence. It has to be something special going on though. I mean, I know people here from my world that are from my past. As in, they haven't experienced yet everything leading up to my present that I remember them experiencing. But if I remember them doing so...
[Either there's powerful magic or the people he knows are not actually from his version of Thedas at all. Anders only knew Riona, Riona hadn't heard of the Champion of Kirkwall yet so he had no idea if it was him. Fenris, Cole, and Marian (obviously) he knew were already from different Thedases. He's heard Lady Nightengale is here, but he's been avoiding asking because he's not sure he can take it if she confirms what he doesn't want to hear.
That Anders isn't his Anders.
That he really is well and truly alone.
He doesn't let any of it show on his face.]
Well, there just has to be some strange magic going on.
