THE GALA ON ADSUM (Mingle Log)

[serpentis]

Who: Anyone and Everyone!
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: A ballroom on Adsum
When: 2/21, Evening-Night



[And the night has arrived! Dorian put out an open invitation, and anyone who is interested is welcome to dress up and meet up for a night of dancing and fawning over each other. Make sure to wear your best, everyone! It's a very special episode of Drift Fleet!]

((OOC: There was an open invitiation, but even if your character never replied or has had personal contact with Dorian, feel free to assume he's let them come along or be dragged along by someone else! I'll be tagging some threads, but if you want a thread to be closed, please just say so in the header.))

[At home, Varric had always been something of a grounding influence. He took things in stride, he understood her initial mistrust of humans, and from the very beginning he had her back. Some of that absolutely translates into how easy it is for Jove to approach him once she spots him, but it isn't just her memories of how he'll be her friend in the future.

It's how he is now, the life of the party, getting himself in good with the locals while breaking their rules. She isn't a fan of big parties like this, and seeing a familiar face that also happens to be Varric's is more welcome than she'd like to admit. There's a chance to make sure this Varric is a part of her life too, a trusted friend, and there's no way she'll let that chance slip. Someone has to help her keep all the others in check, right? When she makes her way over, it's with a glass of what he just happened to spike, of course.]

You know, I could swear that this has a little more kick to it than it's supposed to. Any ideas why that might be?

[Whoops. He should've known Jove would figure it out. He doesn't know her that well yet, but she's very perceptive. Good people, as far as he can tell. It's nice to have someone sane around.

Makes him... miss Hawke, too.

But he doesn't dwell on that. He grins, and it's a bit fiendish, all things considered.]

I heard a rumor that the culprit is exceedingly rich and handsome, and very popular with women.

[She laughs, entirely appreciative of that grin. It's a good grin.]

I think I've heard a few of the ladies here whispering exactly that. It's good to know they've got good taste.

[If she knew about the Hawke part, she'd be touched. The Hawke she had known was selfless and strong, a wonderful leader with the kind of wit she can see now was definitely influenced, or at least supported by, Varric's own. There's something comforting in that.]

Enjoying the party, Varric?

[merchantprince]

[Jove is quickly becoming one of his favorites, that's for sure.]

It's all right. Not nearly enough backstabbing and assassins crashing through the windows, but the night's not over.

I'll watch your back if you watch mine, then. Together we should come out on top.
