driftfleet | Do pigeons have feelings?

Who: Adalwolfe Hawke
Broadcast: Yes, video
Action: Yes, Malum or Tourist.
When: In the wee hours of the morning, during drift week

Stop me if you've heard this one.

[Hello fleet, it's a very drunk Adalwolfe Hawke on your feed tonight. Which is weird because usually he doesn't make drunk posts, but hey it's been a hard wee- no, mont-... year? No, not long enough.

Life. It's been a hard life. And sometimes that catches up with him, so hooray alcohol and existential 2am thoughts.]

But, right, so, some people in the fleet are from earlier that other people in the fleet from the same versh.. version of the same world, right? So then would them changing someone when they get back - or if I guess 'cause who knows - would them changing a big thing then change that thing for the people here from later there? If say... Idunno, I was from before all the stuff and decided not to go to Kirkwall, would other stuff have happened instead of my stuff? Would that change all the... the stuff?

[Maker he needs Varric or Carver to translate his drunkspeech. He's not so far gone that he can't tell he's making the least amount of sense.]

Or if-if... I dunno if I should say that nevermind, but you all get my point, right? Is it set in stone? Or is it like... all these different Thedaseses that everyone is from, they just get made when something else changed so it still happened but the other thing happened too, somehow? Uh.

[He frowns into his mug. These are very murky, complicated thoughts. Clearly he needs to wash them off with more alcohol.]

Were we meant to do things or do things just happen even if we don't do anything? You get what I'm trying to say, right?

[Someone? Anyone?]

[Buddy how much have you been drinking]

Unfortunately, unless we can find a way to go home on our own and retain memories, I think it's a moot point. Once you're sent back, you don't remember this place.

[Like Fenris on a Tuesday.]

That's stupid. How are we supposed to have these things if we don't remember?

[He waggles his device to show her, but of course he's talking to her through the device so it just makes the picture wobble sickeningly for a minute.]

[Riona closes her eyes as he shakes the device, not feeling especially like getting motion sickness at the moment.]

What do you mean exactly?

Bringing communicators like this to Thedas. Have you thought of it? No more carrier birds getting shot down or losing track of friends.

Er... how do you plan on doing that?

Well I don't have a plan yet but we need them, Ri. Very badly.

...Wolfe, just how much have you had to drink tonight? [As... entertaining as the topic of communicators in Thedas was, she's a bit concerned with how inebriated he is.]

A lot. Many. Many lots. It doesn't matter, what matters is how much these things could improve life at home. Don't you think so? You should help me plan. We could keep in touch when we inevitably get sent back whether we want to be or not.

If we could find a way to produce more of them, then sure. But I think we'd need to drag an engineer with us, one who knows how to work... electronics? I think that's the word?

I think so, that sounds right. We could do that if we were able to travel of our own will. I wonder if we could take that power, do you think? Or it could be bad. That and we don't even know where Atroma actually is, which is frustrating. How do we fight something we can't find?

[Riona this plan is hard. Help.]

That's been the question bandied around ever since the fleet started. A question probably best thought on once you've had more sleep and are a tad more sober.

I'm fine! I'm fine. I've thought about it before and can't figure it so I think we should work together on that, don't you? I mean, you and I have done great things so why not here too? Maybe the Inquisitors too, yeah? We're all old hat at impossible.

[She suppresses a chuckle. And a sigh.]

I suppose we could all put our heads together. Though, I would point out that we're old hat at doing the impossible when it comes to things like fighting. Not figuring out weird technology.

No, no, this would be trying to get past Atroma which I'm sure would indeed involve some fighting. Probably a lot.

[He scratches his nose absently.]

I may have a few choice words for them too.
