When: 9/13

Video;;
[ Waking up in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar things is certainly high on the list of disturbing things Dorian has experienced, on par with seeing a future that should never exist. It takes little time to figure this communicator business out, and somehow, he knows how to operate it despite never having seen it. Mark number two for 'this place is disturbing'. After a while, he opens the communicator and turns on the video feed. That is a very well-manicured mustache.. ]

From what I understand, and feel free to correct if I'm mistaken, but we've been spirited away by a seemingly-benevolent entity. Furthering that, we are given information that, by all accounts, should be impossible, yet here we are!

[ This entire tirade is complimented by a wide flourish, gesturing to his surroundings. ]

What, you thought that was simply the beginning? Turns out, we visit entirely different places, and this one happens to have something happening to it. A might convenient, I daresay. Oh, but let's not forget, we're entertainment! Steal the spotlight, win the show and get to leave. Sounds simple enough, but has this actually happened to anyone you are aware of?


Lyuku;;
[ The streets are colorful, if not a bit crowded, but not unpleasant. It's difficult to not want to spend hours winding through the stalls of the bazaar. He has a few credits to spend, but Dorian doesn't feel the immediate need to part with them in case there is something that strikes his fancy at the end. However, that won't stop him from browsing and trying to get a better deal. Maybe he stops to feed a strawberry to one of those dragonesque lizards. Definitely not picking it up, though. It can stay right where it is. He could also be found perusing the more mystical wares- tables of crystals and bottled herbs that he's absolutely unfamiliar with but intrigued by. ]

Fortune Telling;;
The beck and call of a few extra credits doesn't elude him, though really he doesn't see how he has the 'look' of a fortune teller- and he would have had half a mind to be offended had she meant anything by it. The orange-skinned woman had wanted a bit of shut eye, so Dorian finds himself sitting under a canopy surrounded by lots of musty tapestry and gleaming strands of beads. The crystal ball and stack of cards could be laughable. If he weren't superb at being incredibly charming. ]

I have a good sense about your future, care for a reading?

Wildcard;;
[ Hit Dorian up with something else! On the Marsiva, seeing the sights? Sure! ]

[ooc note: those who wish to make TDM threads canon and want to continue, feel free!]

Comments

[fantachetic]

Well, there are lots of issues, but the one I know that is at the forefront of most minds in the south is the slavery. I will admit that before, it wasn't something I really thought about.. it was simply something that was.

[ He considers his next words carefully, resting an elbow in his hand, fingers tapping at his chin. It's a touchy subject, he knows. One that, of course, shouldn't be one, it should simply be wrong. Unfortunately, it's very hard to erase eons of tradition in Tevinter regarding the matter. ]

Having come to the South, and with the Inquisitor being Dalish, I realize it shouldn't be the norm.

[whatisright]

[Good, that's what Justice likes to hear. Well, he doesn't like to hear that slavery is still the norm and not just part of the past and memories thereof, but he likes to hear about people ready to stand up to injustice.]

How do you intend to change that?

[Because... yeah. Justice can openly acknowledge that taking on a problem generally accepted by a whole country is a bit more complicated than just breaking into people's homes and freeing all the slaves.]

[fantachetic]

I'm..not entirely certain yet. No seat in the Magisterium will make me sound like a raving lunatic who must be dealt with. Frankly, I've no interest in being killed or turned Tranquil.

[ Which sounds crazy, but Justice, Tevinter is crazy as hell. ]

[whatisright]

Understandable. [Not only does no one in their right mind wants to be killed or made Tranquil, but death and Tranquility both make it difficult to overthrow an oppressive system.

Whether Justice likes it or not, not all problems can be solved by hitting it over and over with a sword. Sometimes, taking the time to consider one's actions is far more effective than diving in headfirst.] Fortunately, it seems that you will have the time to consider that. [Mostly because he's stuck in space for the foreseeable future.]

[fantachetic]

I can't say for sure whether I welcome that notion or not. Unlimited time isn't a luxury I'm familiar with.

[ Dorian takes another healthy drink of wine, contemplating his glass. It's rather a good question, but in the meantime, there are other things. It won't be as if he is alone in it, either. Maevaris would have his back, as well. ]

[whatisright]

It is not unlimited. You simply are not aware of where the limit is. Much like in the Fade, come to think of it.

[Justice doesn't scold the man for drinking, because there's nothing morally wrong with drinking in moderation, but he still frowns in confusion. He still doesn't understand why someone would willingly dull their senses.]

Best to make what use of it you can before it is over.

ohjeez 2 weeks late, sorry

[fantachetic]

I suppose I will concede that point. I've heard quite a lot from others about this place and the planets we visit. Some more pleasant than others, but no less fascinating.

[ Scold all you want, he's going to do it anyway!! ]
