One Fish, Two Fish, Blue Fish Mingle

[heroofcocoon]

Who: The crew of the SS Blue Fish and friends
Broadcast: Not necessarily?
Action: On the lovely Blue Fish
When: Month of October

[With the tragedy of Lyuku and the entire Eyuzi system behind the Fleet, the crew of the Blue Fish and their friends are now settling into a new routine while they drift along in the relative safety of space.

As one of the few ships that didn't suffer a loss of crew during their little excursion, the crew can safely go about their duties, unless something attacks that is.]

[WELL, THAT SOUNDS SUPER NOT FUN IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY. ]

Oh. That's...really different to the kind I know back home. That's...really bad. Do slaves really get sacrificed? Isn't there a better way to power magic than that?

[fantachetic]

[ It is decidedly un-fun, yes. ]

I want to say it's not common, but it does happen. [ Boy, this is awkward and also an awful topic. ] There's always a better way, but those who resort to blood magic regularly have difficulty accessing the Fade. So, no. Not for them. 'More is better' is typically the credo for the Magisters who rely on it.

...Of course, its use and legality are a bit blurred. Out in the open, of course it's never used. Behind closed doors? Absolutely it does.

[ Moral: Tevinter's really fucked up, bro. ]

[Every time he learns something new about Thedas in general, his stomach turns. And he comes from a world where a madman was literally razing a kingdom to the ground.]

That's awful. The fact they can get away with it. I can understand not having enough power, but there's always another way to live. One that doesn't involve killing other people.

[fantachetic]

[ Well, there's also that. It's probably not a good time to mention the war with Par Vollen, either. ]

One would think so, yes. Which is part of why I left my homeland. [ And gave up his future seat in the Magisterium among other things, but hey! He's doing what's right at the moment and he's far away from most blood magic. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[Probably not the best of times, no. ]

I don't blame you. I hope you found something better...though it's still home, isn't it? Even with...all the bad stuff?

[fantachetic]

It will always be home, and there is always room for change.

[ Hopefully there's something that can be done. ]

[alwayscomeback]

I know that feeling. Even if the change isn't exactly what you had in mind, it's better to stick around to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

[fantachetic]

Precisely.
