Who: Leliana
Broadcast: Yes
Action: aboard the Blue Fish
When: now

[Have a redhead nun/rogue on your feed, fleeters. Someone took a bit of a nap this week and now has new memories? And also questions.]

I apologize if my absence was noticed by my crew or those I speak to in the Interfaith Center. It seems Atroma enjoys putting me to sleep for long periods of time - though the question is "How long?" I suppose. Should I expect any ill effects from repeated instances like these?

[Though she was a bit groggy waking up.]

It seems time passed much more quickly while I was asleep. It felt as if I had returned home again and time had passed there as it normally does here. Two years passed there while it feels as if no time has passed here at all.

[Private message to Riona]

It seems the Inquisitor saw fit to elect me as Divine in Justinia's place, since you and I last spoke.

Comments

[wolfehawke]

Good morning, Sister.

[Wolfe smiles at her through the feed. He's curious to hear any news about how Thedas has progressed, even if it's technically not his and Anders' version, but so many things were left unresolved when they woke up here... It's impolite to just bombard her with questions though.]

I haven't heard anything about ill effects, but I haven't been through it myself. As for the amount of time, I haven't seen you since we talked about putting together a Wicked Grace night and that was about a month ago. I'm not sure if it's been that long since you fell asleep, though. Just since I saw you.

[nugqueen]

Oh no, definitely not that long.

[She smiles a bit at the use of her former title. It was a bit nostalgic, having gone two years addressed as Most Holy.]

I got a bit busy when we landed on the glacial planet. And it seems the Atroma saw fit to give me a bit of a nap.

[Carefully, she thinks of how to choose her words.]

I went to sleep as the Divine's Left Hand and awoke as her Successor to the Sunburst Throne.

[wolfehawke]

I didn't think so, but you never kn- wait, what?

[He stares for a long moment, not quite slack-jawed but certainly surprised. He knew her name had been tossed around in rumor but he didn't think she actually had a chance given her beliefs regarding mages and Templars. He'd told Anders as much but largely kept the opinion to himself. Sure, he would love to see her on the Sunburst Throne, then maybe there could actually be some real, effective, and long lasting change. But to actually hear that that's happened?]

Are you serious?

[nugqueen]

I don't mind if you call me just 'Leliana', of course. It's not as if the Chantry holds power here.

[She just continues as if he didn't get caught off guard, smiling more widely as she does.]

[bryces_pup]

[She thought she had seen Leliana up and about, but she had just gotten finished getting showered so she hadn't been able to approach her. The network confirms it when she checks it over after getting dressed. Riona smiles, combing her fingers through her hair as she begins to walk out of her room. She stops, however, at the private message to her.

There's a long pause as she processes this bit of news.

Leliana, the Divine. Her best friend, once a lay sister on the run, now the head of the entire Chantry. The thought almost makes her laugh, not because it's absurd, but rather, she wonders if the Chantry knows what it's in for.

With hurried steps she heads towards the kitchen, expecting Leliana to be there to eat after her long sleep. When she sees her, Riona pauses, her lips twitching.]

You've been asleep about a week. I hope I'm not disturbing you, Most Holy.

[And so it begins.]

[nugqueen]

[She presses her lips together and they curl in a thin smirk.]

Leliana is perfectly fine, Your Grace.

[It was nice to actually talk to her for a change after spending several weeks trying to keep Teagan from dismantling the Inquisition and Orlais from trying to use it as a token army.]

We've known each other long enough we can dispense with the formalities, no?

[bryces_pup]

Oh come on, you can't tell me that and expect me to at least not joke about it.

[She laughs under her breath as she approaches her friend.]

Well look at us. A lay sister and a Warden from a fallen family. Now Divine and Queen. [She shakes her head in disbelief, still smiling.]

[ofkirkwall]

Morning sleepy head.

[ Marian seems pleased to see her, at least, chin resting on top of a balled hand. ]

Anything interesting to report? How is Varric doing?

[ There are other things she wants to ask about but she decides to keep to one for the moment, the most important of them all. ]

video.

[nugqueen]

Oh, he's doing well enough. Somehow the Nobles decided to elect him Viscount of Kirkwall. He's enjoying it, as you can imagine.

[Or not enjoying it? It's an awful lot of work for someone like him, at any rate.]

video.

[ofkirkwall]

He's what?

[ Did she just say - Varric? Viscount of Kirkwall?

Hawke.exe has stopped working, please contact VARRIC TETHRAS or AVELINE VALLEN for further help in resolving the issue. ]

[wolfuncaged]

Welcome back

[Oh look, he's pleased to see her. ]

I hope things are as well as they can be, back home.

[He doesn't sound convinced by his own sentiment because let's face it, Thedas is kind of a shithole. ]

Video;

[nugqueen]

As well as can be expected, I think. The hole in the sky is gone, at least.

[She's definitely pleased to see you too, Fenris.]

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

Oh? Well, that's good news.

Do you have word of Varric?

[He wants to know how the rest of his gang are doing- but Varric is probably the only one she knows much about. He did join the Inquisition, after all. Then, after a moment's thought:]

Or Cassandra?

[save_the_souls]

Welcome back, Leliana. I'm glad to see you're awake again.

You haven't missed much, really. We just left the system.

Video

[nugqueen]

Ah, good. The hotel was still lovely, no?

[She's mostly just happy to get back to normal - though which world was her normal remained to be seen.]

Video

[save_the_souls]

[At least here there's no weird hat to wear]

Mm! A little expensive, but I had a good time. Did you? I mean...when you weren't asleep.

[reflectedblight]

You're awake! [She's thrilled to bits. Everyone said it was something that just happened sometimes, but sleeping that long when you weren't sick was not normal. At least she seemed okay now.]

Did you say...two years? [More time between them, more time for things to have changed, especially when Lark wouldn't have been there anyway. Her smile stayed, though, just having Leliana back was enough.]

There must have been some stories to tell from those two years.

[nugqueen]

I did and I am.

[She smiles, though it still throws her just to have someone excited to see her as Lark is. Riona, is of course always the one to fit the bill on that front, but this is all still so new and interesting to her. She still thinks of the conversation she had with Fenris, not too long ago before her slumber.]

Oh, mostly politics... the world trying to end again... things like that.

[She smiles a bit, resting her chin on her hand.]

Did I miss anything exciting?

[reflectedblight]

[Lark scoffed.]

The world tried to end again? Can't it just behave for more than a decade?

[No, of course not, because humans were largely running it. Not that she'd say as much to the human she cared about.]

Not a thing, I wish I could say it's been a party, but it's been mostly boring. I braided your hair some while you slept, did you notice?

[Creators take her, she sounded far too hopeful and like the answer meant more to her than it should. She needed to stop being ridiculous.]

[apurrstate]

[These sleeps almost seem common place now, nearly everyone he knows has had them, including himself.]

Good Morning. Or perhaps evening? It's hard to tell in space.

Are you feeling alright? I find some healing magic takes a bit of the grogginess away, if you'd like me to make a house call.

[nugqueen]

That's at your discretion. So far nothing terribly ill other than feeling as if I've slept for two years.

[She smiles a bit.]

Riona has assured me it has not been that long.

[apurrstate]

It hasn't, luckily. I'll come anyway, if it's all the same to you, it makes me feel like I helped.

[And less like he just has to sit around and hope none of his friends fall into incurable comas.]

Are you on the Blue Fish?

Video

[stabsbothways]

You seem familiar.

[ She's figuring out these new communicator things.

That's not accurate; she knows how to use them perfectly because of her augment.

She's getting used to them, more like. ]

Have we slept together?

Video

[nugqueen]

No, I'm afraid not. We did, however, meet through the Hero of Ferelden.

[She had taken a bit to get used to the communicators, too, so there is complete understanding.]

[stabsbothways]

Did I meet the Hero of Ferelden at some point?

[ That seems like something she'd remember.

And, anyway. She's pretty sure she has slept with this woman. She has some pretty... graphic memories that are kind of coming back. ]

The Hero of Ferelden wouldn't happen to be a dwarf, would she?
