KITE FLYING!

...what do you mean, there's something more important to do? Oh yeah, the mist. Sure, have fun with your despair hallucinations, I guess.]

[ wat ]

's what people say.

[ Honestly he doesn't even sound particularly skeptical; it's far from the strangest thing he's seen here. And it's the slightest bit easier to believe since he's pretty damn sure he'd've noticed Maggie or Carl or any of them ever going missing. ]

Where you from?

[fantachetic]

[ Stop him, Daryl. He will talk your ear off about time travel.. ]

Indeed, though it's mostly idle chatter. There are a manner of other, far more interesting conversations to be had.

[ He waves a hand idly, moving past the subject. ]

I am from Thedas. More specifically, I am from the Tevinter Imperium. I take it you are from this 'earth' location that most of the others seem to hail from?

[worn_wings]

[ He's not hugely surprised at that lucky guess, or maybe it's the accent giving him away. A lot of people here seem to have earthly origins, even if most of them are from considerably less shitty earths. Lucky fuckers. ]

Yeah. Georgia.

[ Which probably means nothing to this guy. ]

What's Thedas like?

[fantachetic]

[ Lucky guess, indeed. The accent is different, and one that he can't really place.

Yeah, Georgia means nothing to him. Maker, get ready for a geography lesson, Daryl. ]

That depends entirely upon which country you are speaking. Those to the north would consist of Tevinter, Seheron, Par Vollen, Anderfels, and Rivain. The south makes up the rest with Orlais, The Free Marches, Ferelden, and Antiva. There are only a select few I have not traveled to, nor the inclination to do so, as mages are hardly welcomed by their own.

Tevinter, Seheron, and Par Vollen have warmer climates, the Anderfels is a godless place and Maker knows what kind of lunatics would want to inhabit it. Antiva is tolerable, and anything below that is far too cold for its own good.

[worn_wings]

[ Well that's... a lot. Not just the geography, which is hard enough to envision without any real context to it, but that's an awful lot of opinions on places he's never heard of before. ]

Ain't like this, though. Goin' into space?

[fantachetic]

Absolutely not. [ Daryl, if there's one thing to learn about Dorian, it's that he's full of opinions on things. Especially the magically-inclined. ]

This is certainly an entirely different endeavor that really can't be compared. There are some attributes that are indisputable in their efficiency, however. Communication, for one. These devices are wonderful and make documentation rather easy.

The stars, while unnerving and massive are quite beautiful and put life into perspective.

[worn_wings]

I guess.

[ Look, sorry, he's a little skeptical; back before it all fell apart he really wasn't much of an internet guy, okay. Though he can't deny it's handy, being able to check on folks without traveling. He's trying not to get too accustomed to the luxury. ]

Nice way to look at it.

[fantachetic]

They make you feel rather small, and it makes your worries seem so much less troublesome.

[ Dorian has developed quite a fondness for modern technology and attire. They lack a certain flair that his own wardrobe does, but they're very flattering.

He casts another interested look at Daryl. ]

What is Georgia like?

[worn_wings]

[ The answer takes him by surprise, and he hums at it, considering. The stars don't make his troubles seem any smaller-- the distance paradoxically makes them more urgent, distilling the knowledge that he should be doing something into a hard, heavy lump of restlessness.

Daryl is not good at leisure time.

As much as he'd rather not talk about himself, Georgia is a little easier. As long as they don't get into the details of its current state, overrun with corpses and all. ]

Hot, mostly. [ He shrugs. ] Not as much up in the mountains.

[fantachetic]

It sounds lovely. The hotter the better, so long as there's some humidity to it.

[worn_wings]

[ Isn't that the opposite of what most people want?

He nods, a little absently. It'd be hard to be homesick, with what home is like, but in a weird way he does miss Georgia. Maybe it's more missing the memory. ]

Can't say I been much'f anywhere else.

[fantachetic]

You won't be able to say it for much longer, however. Get a few different planets under your belt and you'll be a professional.

[ Not that Daryl doesn't look like he can't figure out his way around, though he doesn't seem to be entirely too keen on being in the public eye. ]

More of an outdoors man?

[worn_wings]

's what I'm used to.

[ Look, he's an open book, he knows it. He tries not to give a crap about it. ]

[fantachetic]

It's a bit more of what I'm used to, as well, though I will certainly take expedient travel over what home offers.
