[action;]

[After taking a nice hot shower to wash off a month's worth of dust, Varric is back in business being his nosy self. You bet he's checking the food stores to see how much of the crap he imported is still there, as well as the cargo bay because 1. that's where his desk is and 2. he had a buttload of alcohol there last time he checked.

But really, he's just wandering around so that he can check on his crewmates. He's worried by some of the things he's reading, and he hasn't even set foot on the planet yet.]

[video;]

[Varric eventually settles at his desk and turns on the nearest comm console. Honestly, he looks like nothing's changed. At all. But there is a nervous energy in how his fingers dance along the edge of his makeshift desk, rustling some papers.]

Good evening. Did you all miss me? Don't be shy, we have all night. [Is his chest hair visible? Yes it is.]

I think I'm mostly caught up on what I missed during my exceptionally long beauty nap. [His brown eyes glimmer dangerously in the low light.] Something about peasant uprisings and dragons? Sounds like home.

[merchantprince]

Dubiously evil and with an impeccable mustache. What kind of storyteller do you take me for?

[serpentis]

Ooooh, tell me more, I'm intrigued and vaguely scandalized!

[merchantprince]

I'm thinking he's the figurehead of some kind of ancient cult, but he originally joined it to tear it down from the inside. He just ended up getting swept up in it and now he can't escape the lie.

[dawnwillcome]

Ah, but is it true love or just a lust for power and the feel of domination?

[merchantprince]

True love might play a part in it. We'll see.

[serpentis]

[Varric, don't do that.]

And then what happens? Does he escape? Slither his way out like a little viper?

[merchantprince]

[Hits a little close to home, doesn't it?]

I don't know yet, but I'm hoping he makes it out all right.

[serpentis]

[Varric's that's CHEATING.]

I'm certain he will. Men like him, they have an odd way of making it out alive.

Oh, but what of the rest of his story? Is there a romance?

[merchantprince]

[OR IS IT?]

The whole story is full of romance. I can't give you any details yet, though-- it'll spoil the story.
