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.]

[He should... probably be nicer. But he isn't. Sorry.]
I'm sure that'll change. [He clears his throat, then tries to imitate Anders' accent.] 'Those bastards made me get rid of my cat.' And something about how Wardens don't ever really stop being Wardens. It's a lifetime commitment. And you're terrible with commitment.

It's overwhelming and unpleasant, and he does what he always does when he's backed into a corner: he disengages.]
Well. [There's a distinctly sour note to his voice now.] Far be it from me to tell you anything otherwise about myself, since you seem to have it all figured out. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather you keep it to yourself.
