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!]

[As they climb the steps, Jove falls silent as she considers Fenris' point of view. Maybe it's living through Kirkwall that gives him this knowledge, or being an elf in Tevinter, but she can't deny that he's right. It makes her stomach turn to think of it, but he's right. Her mistrust of humans had been something she'd worked on, along with the undercurrent of fear she tended to pretend she didn't notice, but it spikes a little now.

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.

[Fenris remains silent as he walks with her, facing ahead, his brows furrowed. He doesn't interrupt, he just listens, and tries to understand. ]

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.

It's been a long road, but there are days when I can see the end of it a little more clearly.

[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.]

And that is good. Thedas needs someone with a level head to help it through all that mess.

[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?
