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

No, she's a human, but I suppose the way this place works - she could very well have been a dwarf. The fleet also has a young elf woman by the name of Lark, who happens to be considered the Hero in her version of events.

[stabsbothways]

I guess there are more people than just Hawke who show up in different shapes and sizes.

[nugqueen]

And yet it is we, who remain the same. You certainly look no worse for wear.

[Leliana smiles warmly, glad for the - mostly - familiar face.]

[stabsbothways]

Oh dear, have I gone over the hill? Is the best I have to look forward to feverishly grasping at the beauty I have as it seeps between my fingers?

[nugqueen]

Oh, not at all. I was referring to how each of us companions is recalled. We remain the same in each story I've heard. The only differences are the Warden, the Champion and the Inquisitor. We all seem to be the only commonality, save for a few discrepancies.

[For example, if asked, Leliana definitely would not remember any threesomes or foursomes with Isabela, Zevran, or anyone else.]

[stabsbothways]

[ Isabela didn't know who most of those people were, and she couldn't say she particularly cared. All political figures and legends from places she habitually stayed fuck all away from.

If this woman was a companion of the Hero that meant she helped stop a Blight though, right? ]

So you're a grey warden?

[nugqueen]

No. Maker's breath, what gave you that idea?

[She laughs, actually finding it hilarious.]

You remember the stories don't you? There were only two Wardens who stopped the Blight and the rest of us were just companions.

[stabsbothways]

I think you overestimate the accuracy of stories told in taverns and on ships a continent away.

A firsthand source is actually rather nice. Did the dwarves really build you a flock of stone griffins?

[nugqueen]

No, but we did stop them from having a civil war?

[She smiles a bit.]

Or, well... Riona did, at least.

[stabsbothways]

See, if it was me, I would be over exaggerating my role, not minimizing it. There goes, Isabela, savior of Kirkwall- well, that's how it would go if Kirkwall wasn't an utter disaster.

[nugqueen]

Why would I do something like that?

[Because... that would be something Isabela would do, not Leliana. Which is exactly the point, really.]

[stabsbothways]

It's an easy way to get pretty people into bed, for one.

[nugqueen]

That's certainly not my goal, I assure you.

[stabsbothways]

Then it can get you free rooms, free drinks. I can think of any number of ways being a legendary hero has social benefits.
