You can check out anytime you'd like.. [Hotel Corona Mingle]

Who: The Fleet!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: Hotel Corona or Planet Ikke
When: December 7th onward

a wheel-shaped space station


[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

From what I understand, he found it frustrating to talk to me.

[His tone is dry. Adalwolfe said that in anger, but Fenris has remembered it. Perhaps that was it. Perhaps he just wasn't worth the effort. It's not a comforting thought.

Still, he tries to brush it away, to focus on what she's telling him. He has...a lot of mixed feelings about that. Largely because the other person who would be left to a fate worse than death is Hawke.
]

I- have been told about that, yes. Though the person with Hawke seems to differ. In one case it was a Warden named Stroud.

[Still...]

I understand the anger, though. To learn of the possibility of losing someone you care about to the Fade. It is an awful feeling. I can imagine you were...very angry with him for that.

Just because it is frustrating does not mean that it is not worth it. It does not mean that he should not have tried.

[Boy oh boy does that rankle her. How easily she could have given up on trying to connect with Sten, or with Morrigan, or even Oghren or Shale. Perhaps she's being unfair - it certainly crosses her mind - but considering how it turned out for Wolfe, she's certain that she's right in her conviction.]

I heard about this Stroud. Apparently he is who actually was in the Fade with Wolfe. It was Stroud who was left behind each time. I... it does grieve me, to know a Warden lost his life, but Wardens are doomed to die early. At least he had a worthy death.

[She snorts.]

Leliana managed to talk me down after he told me about it. Assured me no such thing happened in her version of events. I tried avoiding him, but I... wound up punching him when I saw him next. [Sorry not sorry] Perhaps I am being too... unreasonable. Not everyone has sworn an oath to a king. Maybe I can't blame him for not wanting to die, for letting it happen. And it wasn't as if it was his decision.

[If that Inquisitor had been the one to show up and tell her what happened, there would have been a smackdown.] At the same time, I don't know how he expected me to take it well. Ah well. It didn't happen. Alistair and Wolfe and Marian all survived and I suppose that's all we can ask for.

Perhaps. But he didn't, and what is done is done.

[He's dead in that world. Hopefully, he will not be so in his own. ]

I may not...like my Hawke, but I would rather a Warden than him. ...No offence, but as you said, a Warden is living on borrowed time anyway.

[Hawke can do so much good. Will do so much good. It's what they all seem to excel at. He wishes Hawke would get a break, but he always knows of their importance to Thedas at large.]

Wolfe often strikes me as the sort of person who speaks before he thinks. I doubt he meant it personally.

...But yes, they have survived, and that is what is important.

I understand. If it were not Alistair in his version of events, I'd have minded far less. He caught me entirely off guard and I panicked. Badly.

[Alistair is a surefire way to hit her at her weakest spot. With most anything else, she can be reasonable, or at least, not let her emotions carry her too far. But with him? That tends to go out the window, and quickly.]

But as you said, what's done is done.

[She shakes her head.]

He very much is. I've hardly seen anyone more effectively shove their foot into their mouth as he does.

I do not blame you. I can see why it would be a weak spot.

[He doesn't really have anyone back home, aside from his ...whatever it is with Isabela. He can't really relate to the feeling, but he can at least understand it. ]

It's astounding, honestly. I know he means well, but he has a knack, that's for certain.

[It's an enormous weak spot, to be certain. One she's keenly aware of and yet, there's little she can do about it. But that's not something she needs to delve into with him.]

Utterly astounding. Perhaps I should have a word with him and teach him a thing or two about tact. Or at least when honesty is not always the best policy. Put some of that hammered-in social etiquette I grew up with to good use.

I honestly doubt it would do much good, but you are more than welcome to try.
