ACTION! Meeting people!

[killedwithlove]

Who: Cole and anyone who stands still long enough to be talked to
Broadcast: No.
Action: One ALL fleet ships except The Tourist and The Three Twins
When: During the week.

Cole doesn't like the communicators. He finds it too disorientating to talk to people and have that vast distance between them.

Instead, he's setting out to visit each of the ships and meet the people on board. He likes people and he likes meeting and talking with people and he'd far rather do that face to face.

Don't worry. He doesn't take up much space and he takes up no supplies. He just wants to meet people.

But... he gives The Tourist and The Three Twins a wide berth. Fenris had been very clear that he was not to see Cole again and Cole will respect that by avoiding the places he seems to be.

Anyone from those ships will have to be visitors somewhere else to run into Cole.

[ Steffa shifts, hugging her legs to her chest much like Cole, her chin resting on her knees. It's times like this, Steffa can almost agree that the Circle should be disbanded. She doesn't understand why people are so quick to fear and despise something they don't understand. Why they would do that to a child.

They could've done it to her, if it hadn't been for Duncan. Oh, she probably wouldn't have starved, the templars in Ferelden weren't generally that cruel, but...

She's silent for a long time, and when she speaks, her voice is a little wobbly. ]

I'm glad you were there for him, then.

[killedwithlove]

[And Cole knows that his story isn't unique. Cole wasn't starved through cruelty. He was forgotten. And Cole still considers that nearly better, better than his inevitable fate.]

If they'd remembered, they would've made him not a person. Or killed him. Better dead than not a person. Pharamond said so. Begged, bargained, bared himself to the knife rather than be cut out again.

[howcanihelp]

[ Steffa shudders. ]

I'd rather die than become Tranquil. Being forgotten like that is... awful, but it could've been so much worse.

[killedwithlove]

Yes. Tranquil. Pharamond was Tranquil, then he wasn't and he asked me to kill him before they made him Tranquil again.

[He never had to make that decision. Red Hair killed him first.]

He starved to death. It was still pretty awful.

[howcanihelp]

No doubt about that.

[ She lets out a long breath, then laughs suddenly ]

We just have the most cheerful of conversations, don't we?

[killedwithlove]

[Sarcasm is still lost on him.]

No. This isn't a cheerful conversation at all.

[howcanihelp]

Oh, we need to sit you down with Garrett and teach you about sarcasm.

[ new subject, new subject... ]

Do you like the people on your ship?

[killedwithlove]

I like Jove! She's an Inquisitor, but not my Inquisitor, but she's very nice. She reminds me of Solas, thought she's very different from him. But they were both very gentle when I got scared.

Crowley says he's a demon, but I don't think he really is.

[howcanihelp]

Jove is very nice. I really should try to get to know her more.

I don't think I've met Solas yet. Is he from Thedas?

[ She's not even going to touch the demon guy, as she's pretty sure no one on the fleet is an actual demon as far as she's concerned. ]

[killedwithlove]

[Well done, Cole's two favourite people (at the moment) in a single conversation.]

Solas is a rift mage. He studies the Fade and spirits and I don't think anyone has ever known as much about it as him. When I was scared of what I was, he made it seem less frightening. He didn't like that Varric helped me learn to be more human, but he still says I'm his friend.

[howcanihelp]

He studies the Fade?

[ Note to self: corner this Solas fellow and make him tell you everything, omm* ]

Well, whatever his feelings on what Varric helped you do, I'm glad he stayed your friend. How did he even study the Fade? That seems like it would be... difficult, to say the least.

[ Clearly, Steffa has priorities. ]

*oh my maker

[killedwithlove]

Yes. A lot. He's not a spirit medium, I don't think, but he's better with spirits than even Rhys was.

He's a mage. He sleeps a lot, and lucidly dreams.
