attempt 001
Who: Anders
Broadcast: FLEETWIDE VIDEO HIT IT
Action: SS Golden
When: 2/14, not long after shuffling WE ARE BACKDATING THIS MY FRIENDS
[He surprises himself when the feed clicks on easily enough. It's unsettling, but at least it's simple. He can bury the unsettling parts.
Those of you who are familiar—or who have had enough introductions to become familiar—might recognize the striped grey and blue of a Grey Warden uniform, with its high, studded collar, and the curled griffon on the shoulder.
Anders is, for his part, smiling broadly.]
So! Now that I've gotten through the "manhandled into a tin can" bit, closely followed by the "manhandled into a slightly smaller tin can" bit, I thought I'd take some time to say hello. Is everyone comfortable? Because I am not, thanks for asking. [beat] Does it ever bother you how terribly one-sided this is?
[Let him talk and he'll talk. Congratulations on being the captive audience.
Right, back on track.]
Now, I don't usually mind a bit of manhandling, of course, but even I have some standards. It was all terribly anticlimactic. Hardly a kidnapping at all, really.
Anyhow. [with a bit more grandeur:] I believe introductions are in order, don't you? I'm going to eat this [he lifts the little dessert cream in a toast] so you go first.
[Ready: go.]

Besides, he's yet to meet a Templar he liked (at least, one that hadn't left the order), and the Circles sounded terrible. Guess which elf is totally okay with dismantling that, just guess.
So Arhen is perfectly cheerful when he finds a spot to hop up and perch, settling in with all the ease of someone used to far more difficult climbs.]
They're very fond of us from Thedas here, aren't they? I'll admit, though, I'm surprised they're dragging off Wardens.
[He's pretty sure they're all a bit mad. Just a bit.]

He also likes talking in person much better, and is more than happy to abandon everything else in favor of it.]
Well, I was surprised, too. But that's only because I know how grim and depressing the Wardens really are.
[A pause. He feigns consideration.]
On the other hand, maybe that's why they picked me.
