Who: Cole and anyone
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Marvisa
When: Now until the next shuffle?

[Cole doesn't usually sleep, so waking up is very unfamiliar. He doesn't usually feel the cold or heat much, so the deep coldness in his bones is alien.

He jerks upright with a gasp, hands scrabbling at the back of his neck and then he vanishes in a puff of black-green smoke and reappears in the corner of the room, pressing himself back into it, staring around with wide eyes.]

Whispering, watchful, wakeful, wondering, where?

[He then spends a while patting things around him like the floor and wall, whispering under his breath.

In all honesty, he'll stay in that room until someone convinces him to leave and go elsewhere. It's not like he has to leave for any reason.]

Comments

[dirth]

[ Soft, careful: ]

Cole.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole's head comes up, looking around briefly.]

Solas? Where are you? Where did you go?

[Yes, that is definitely an accusation there. Solas left them.]

Was it because I became too mortal?

[dirth]

[ He pauses, careful, before his eyes close and he shakes his head. ]

I am aboard another ship. You and I will see one another in person soon.

[ Still, he must be careful. ]

Cole, you have always known there are some pains I would not wish on the worst of enemies, let alone a dear friend.

[Squinting. Did that thing just...teleport itself? Solas seems to know it, but that doesn't really say much. Solas is kind of a weirdo. ]

...What are you?

[killedwithlove]

[Cole's head bobs like a curious bird or cat, up and around and down again, unsure.]

I'm Cole.

[That's a perfectly legit answer to what he is.]

[wolfuncaged]

That is who you are, not what you are.

[Fenris don't buy it.]

[serpentis]

Ah, Cole. Good to see you.

[He sounds and looks a bit worn-out but he's trying.]

Re: video;

[killedwithlove]

Dorian? Dorian!

[Immediately perking, followed by concern.]

You don't look well. But you're too far away for me to know what's wrong.

video;

[serpentis]

Please, don't concern yourself overly much...

[He lets out a breath, shifting, apparently resting in bed surrounded by pillows. He tries to make himself look no worse for the wear, but the truth is that Dorian has had a hell of a few weeks. One lover leaving, another taking his place, and then the dragon, and having his magic nearly taken from him...

...he's had a time.]

Perhaps we will see each other, soon. There's someone I like for you to meet. A friend of mine.

[Much as Cole unsettled him, he was fond of him, and perhaps Cole and Krista could relate to each other about being non-humans from another world.]

voice

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he doesn't want to show his face, since he's... not feeling great, and his gross, newely-resurrected monster friend would be upset if he accidentally got caught on camera. so, voice it is.

he sounds very calm, though. curious.]

Easy there, kid. You're not in trouble.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole looks around and then calmly addresses wall like that's perfectly normal to him.]

How did you know Varric calls me kid?

[Yes, there is a touch of wonder to his voice]

video

[ino]

[ Oh ... a friend of Dorian's? She's curious ... ]

Are you alright?

video

[killedwithlove]

Yes? I don't know. I'm not hurt. It's very cold and alone, though.

video;

[invigorates]

There is no need to panic. You are safe. [ as safe as one can be after being kidnapped and forced onto a spaceship - but that is irrelevant! ] You are not hurt, are you?

video;

[killedwithlove]

No... I'm not hurt. I don't have my knives.

[He reaches up and pulls his hat on more securely.]

But I have my hat. So that's good.

[dawnwillcome]

[Jove's greeting comes much like Solas' does, soft and careful but for an entirely different reason. On the chance that Cole is like the others who haven't recognized her, she doesn't want to confuse or scare him by insisting she's the Inquisitor if he's never even seen her before.]

You're alright, Cole. You're in space, up in all those stars you can see from the ground.

[She doesn't know if Cole ever took the time to look at the stars, but she does hope that's a thing he can relate to, at least slightly. He had asked here he was, after all.]

[killedwithlove]

[Cole looks at her, really looks, and he seems to come to a conclusion after a long moment]

You know me. But I don't know you. That idea is familiar, old ache.

[unconfines]

[He sees all of this, Fenris spouting his usual vitriol. Anders considers just passing this by, not worth the trouble, but— the feed clicks on all the same.

His tone is even and amiable.]

Is this a game we're playing? Who, what, when, how?

video;

[killedwithlove]

I don't know that game. I know chess and Varric has been teaching me Wicked Grace, but Josephine always wins, so I don't play against her because I only have one set of clothes aside from my armour.

[faithfulwisdom]

[Well, disappearing and reappearing certainly is an interesting talent. Not the strangest one he's seen here, but interesting all the same.]

You are far more poetic than I most manage to be upon first arrival. [A+ for alliteration.] You are aboard the Marvisa, most like. We all seem to arrive there at first. It is a ship which sails among the stars, mad as it sounds.

[killedwithlove]

Am I poetic?

[He tugs his hat down firmly, then starts playing with the fraying edges of his fingerless gloves]

I'm alone.

[serves]

Cole. [It's only a matter of time before all of Thedas is here, it seems.]

Are you alright?

[A strange thing to ask a spirit, but Cullen's come to understand his importance to the Inquisition--and the Inquisitor, even if he makes him a bit... uncomfortable.]

video

[killedwithlove]

[Cole brightens a little when he sees Cullen. Cullen might be uncomfortable with Cole, but Cole finds Cullen's presence comforting. Even just his voice and image are enough to provide some soothing.]

I'm not hurt. Just a bit worried about being alone. Are you all right? Is it hurting you badly?

[howcanihelp]

[ Steffa is a bit concerned for him ]

Are you all right?

video

[killedwithlove]

I'm not hurt. Just alone.
