Waystation Mingle Log!
Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.
[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.
Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

[Her tone starts off nice enough, but by the time she gets to the end it's bitter and just this side of cruel. Her human friends had been treated so well at the Winter Palace, but Solas, possibly the smartest man she'd ever met, had been immediately labeled her manservant. It still doesn't sit well.]
no subject
They seem to be under the impression that if they say it with a laugh and a condescending smile, it is somehow less offensive than calling us knife-ears.
[Fucking Orleasians. ]
Do you know, when I went to Chateau Haine, they assumed I was Hawke's manservant?
no subject
She shudders, but Fenris gets an incredibly grateful look.]
I'm not surprised. They thought Solas was mine. I think I was more offended by it than he was.
no subject
...That doesn't not surprise me. Solas strikes me as a little... disconnected to how elves truly live. When we met, he spoke of retuning elven kind to the old ways, of getting back former glory. When I pointed out that the humans would likely react to such a thing with absolute genocide, he seemed to be of a mind they could be swayed otherwise.
[Fenris gives a shrug. ] Some of the people who matter most to me in this world are humans. But as a whole? They would not stand for us being brazen enough to try and act like people.. Solas doesn't seem to understand that. It is as if he has been blind to everything.
[There's no judgement in his tone, just confusion. How could any elf be under the impression that humanity would just let them up from the heel they've been ground under for centuries. Elves who thought that sort of thing, who spoke up about that sort of thing only ended up one way. Dead. ]
no subject
And really, many of the people who had spent plenty of time with him still thought he was odd.]
Solas spent much of his time wandering to explore the Fade. He's seen things of the past that the Dalish have gotten wrong, so he faults us for clinging to false knowledge even while he praises us for trying. He's a bit of a conundrum at times.
[She says all that, but there's still a note of respect to her tone. There usually is when she speaks of people she cares for, but it's a little more pronounced when it comes to Solas. She's always thought highly of him, ever since it became clear what a wonderful source of knowledge he was.]
no subject
[If the Dalish don't flip at him, the humans certainly will. The one thing you learn from being a city elf is that humans will murder you for trying to raise yourself out of the slums. Every time. The price of not knowing your place. ]
no subject
Believe me, he won't have any trouble should someone try anything with him.
no subject
If they cannot harm him, they will find some way to make an example, and they will justify their actions by saying they were putting a stopper on rebellion.
[The atrocities of the Halamshiral alienage haven't happened for him yet, but they don't need to. It's the same story, told over and over again. Things will never change. ]
no subject
He's an apostate and under the protection of the Inquisition, but those are things Solas is now. The future is a thing she can't foresee, and one day the Inquisition may no longer be needed. What would happen then, with no soldiers and no high walls of Skyhold to add to his own power to keep himself safe? He isn't Dalish like she is, he'd have no small clan to run to and hide with.
What's more, Fenris is right about humans making examples of her kind, Dalish or not. She's heard the horror stories from the time she was a child, has had her own run ins with them. Perhaps she's gotten too used to having the power to keep herself and her close companions safe.]
I'd like to say that the Inquisition is powerful enough to keep every human lord terrified of crossing it when an elf leads it. I'd like to believe that after my time in Orlais, the shemlen think twice before raising a hand to their servants. I brought down a highborn human woman single-handedly and made her my court jester in place of having her killed when it was entirely in my power to do exactly that. I have killed, when the situation called for it. At this point, the people of Thedas know I'm nothing to trifle with.
[She doesn't say any of this with an over-inflated sense of pride, it's just the facts as she sees them given freely to someone who hasn't witnessed them yet. She hasn't said any of this to anyone in the fleet yet, only the handful from her own time actually know any of it. The mantle of Inquisitor feels like a familiar weight as she takes it on again, but Fenris knows her as Jove. She hopes this won't change anything between them.]
But you're right. I can't be everywhere, and fear isn't a good way to exert power. I focus so much on the future of the Dalish I- [This is difficult, and she loses her steam a little there. Admitting your failings is never easy.] Well. I only knew one city elf before coming here and her version of advising me tended to come with suggestions of pranks to do. I'm finding myself wishing you had been with me from the beginning to help me keep sight of these things.
no subject
You have done a great deal.
[He exhales. Would he enjoy Skyhold? Possibly, but being part of something bigger than himself is daunting. He's still getting used to the idea of living his own life, choosing his own path. How would he handle being in a group who's purpose is to protect the world? ]
I am afraid my answer to most things would be violence. I would likely cause more problems than solve.
no subject
[That other bit gets a laugh from her though. If he thinks he'd be bad-]
You should meet Sera, in that case. The problems the two of you could cause together would probably be enough to stop Corypheus in his tracks.
[She's imagining it, now. Sera lobbing her jars filled with bees, Fenris phasing through the battlefield with his giant sword. It would definitely be a sight to see.]
no subject
[They would be the grestest terrible elves that ever existed. Millions would run in fear from them.]
I have not heard of this Sera yet. I take it she is not much one for keeping to the books?
