004 // the house of sin

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian and assorted guests
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, 3/10
Action: In a villa practically in the forest (THE HOUSE OF SIN)
When: Broadcast- 3/10 // Action- 3/9-3/31? Until we leave.

Broadcast:

[The broadcast goes out on 3/10, and Dorian smirks a bit into the feed.]

I believe I've secured lodging for myself, with room enough for several others. If you need a place to stay, do let me know. It's a quaint little villa a bit outside of town. ...please don't mind the suspicious glances, I assure you, I've done nothing entirely against the guidelines that were set.

---------

Action:

[Dorian has secured a villa, but the residents of Mor don't seem too keen on having an evil mage for a neighbor. As the month goes on, more and more villagers will show up to stand at the gates of the villa and threaten to come in after the "evil wizard".

Maybe he shouldn't have gone so overboard with the whole "contacting the spirits of the dead" thing.]

((OOC: Mingle post for the House of Sin. We'll pretend there are enough rooms in here for everyone! Even if you character only drops by to rest their feet a bit, everyone is welcome to visit and stay the night if they want.))

You know, like... I don't know, someone more interesting than Dorian. I mean, I don't know who that would be, but...

[she has not quite caught on that he's too old-timey to get her slang... also, it's worth noting that she's very soft-spoken. even though they probably should be up to normal conversing volume by now, she's... pretty quiet and hard to hear...]

[serves]

[THE INQUISITOR NATURALLY but no she doesn't seem to want that known soooo. Cullen can't help but chuckle a little, even if the young lady is a bit.... timid?]

Have you met a woman named Jove?

[ladiesss]

Jove... [she's not great with names, but...] ...I'm pretty sure I haven't. Who is she?

[serves]

A friend of Dorian's. A mage, like him. [But much prettier and nicer and don't get him started.] She's full of interesting tales.

[ladiesss]

Oh...

[more mages? usually that's bad news, but she's... trying to trust that Dorian is actually an okay person and wouldn't keep a bunch of terrible friends in his house.]

...Well, she sounds pretty all right, sure. Can I... Ask that you take me to Jove instead of letting me wander aimlessly around the house?

[serves]

[A little surprised, Cullen chuckles.]

I suppose she wouldn't mind making a new friend. [She always ends up dragging them back to Skyhold...]

After you--ah, my apologies. [He gives her a little dip of his shoulders.] Cullen. And your name is?

[ladiesss]

Krista. [she holds back a smile. she likes it when people do what she asks, even when it's... the obvious, logical answer.] It's, um, nice to meet you, Cullen.

[thank you for not kicking her out of the house, Cullen...]

[serves]

A pleasure. [He's so polite!! And has a soft spot for people that look lost. He's a helper.]

Where are you from?

[Small talk as they walk, sure.]

[ladiesss]

[small talk! she can do small talk.]

I'm from Earth. Well, one of them. It seems kind of different than a lot of other people's... versions...

[she scoots a little to catch up, attention divided between trying to walk and trying to talk enough in his direction so that he can hear her without too much problem.]

Unless you meant, like, around the Fleet...! Then I'm just, uh, from the Bishop. I'm the captain.

[serves]

[Sometimes he forgets not everyone walks with a purpose!! So he shortens his steps and slows his pace for her.]

Captain? Assigned, or...?

[ladiesss]

[oh, phew. that makes it easier...]

Well, I originally signed up to be first mate to my doofy captain, since he was pretty hopeless... But then he disappeared from the fleet altogether, and I took his place by default.

[serves]

[Doofy... how cute.]

I see. The crew is in... less doofy hands, I'm sure.
