Joint video with ~makeovers~
Who: Justice, Anders, Riona, and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Caprine
When: Backdated before they get to the planet
[The video opens to what appears to be only Riona and Anders, standing shoulder to shoulder. Someone paying attention might notice someone else behind them, purposefully hidden.
Riona and Anders look a bit excited, and quite pleased. She glances over her shoulder briefly at someone, but her head still blocks most of the shot. When she turns back, she’s grinning.]
Ladies and gentlemen of the fleet, there’s someone we’d like you to meet. Or, maybe reintroduce for some of you.
[Anders steps aside, giving a grand wave to the person behind them and finally revealing him their captive audience.
It’s an unfamiliar and very attractive man with swept back hair and piercing blue eyes. (The shade of which may be familiar to anyone who might have known Anders back when he had a glowing problem.) The man in question has a seemingly perpetual frown on his face, standing stiffly without actually moving. He’s so still that it’s almost like he’s not breathing. (And those who know him, even if they don’t recognize him, might pick up on the note of vague confusion in the furrow of his brow. He does not know why this has become such a production, but it’s past the point when it’s worth the effort to restrain his friends.)
Anders’ grin could light up a room. It’s clear the two Wardens are very pleased with themselves.]
Please give a warm welcome to Justice: new and improved. For those of you who know him, Riona and I decided it was time for a bit of a makeover; something to improve over ‘dead and decaying.’ Those of you that might not have met him yet, you should! He’s really very nice.
[And now a 100% more approachable.
Justice, for his part, glances at Anders with slightly narrowed eyes. Anders, are you trying to make friends for him? He’s pretty sure you’re trying to make friends for him. Oh well. He dips his head towards the camera, and when he speaks, it’s the same deep rumble as before.] Greetings. If you did not know what to call me prior, I was the spirit who appeared to be dead.
[Riona nods, and wryly adds:] You may remember him as looking like a walking corpse who doesn't blink. We didn't want people to be putoff by his appearance anymore. Hard to get to know people and mingle with mortals when everyone thinks you're an undead shambler.
So say hello and chat him up. Or just ogle him. [She gives a wink and a wave.]

Private Video
I know you don't believe me, I wouldn't expect you to, but Justice isn't a threat to those in the fleet. Should the worst happen...he'd want them to be protected from him. But, all the same, he's a friend and I won't treat him any less, no matter how warrented the caution. He's a person, not an explosive about to go off.
[He might as well be talking to a wall for how much he'll likely be listened to. This wasn't something they saw eye-to-eye on and they likely never would. Anders agreed with Fenris that demons were dangerous, worth fearing and mistrusting and something you didn't handle lightly as Merrill seemed so intent on doing. But Fenris saw all beings from the Fade as demons, whereas Anders saw the difference. Like looking at a human and saying all were murderers because one was.]
Private Video
[Fenris exhales, runng a hand over his face tiredly. ]
I do not expect you to treat it differently- but if that is what it wants- a means to stop it, should it actually become a danger, then surely fulfilling that wish is something that would make it happy?
It would probably make the rest of us happy.
[That's a lie, Fenris is never happy. ]
Private Video
[Was that a joke? A dig? A gentle dig? The world may never know.]
It would. Happier than allowing him to hurt anyone.
It's all moot as it stands right now. Right now, he's happy in general and Riona and I are doing everything we can to make things easier for...for when the time comes.
Private Video
I don't much care if its happy or not. [That was bit more snippy than he intended. ] But...good. So long as you are prepared.
Private Video
As well as we can be.
It's said with a touch of chill, meant to be the end of the conversation that he definitely didn't want to be having. Not that he was surprised to be having it.]
Private Video
...I'll leave you be.
[Which is almost a goodbye, instead of just straight up hanging up on him. Progress. ]
