As an empire of dead men leave their graves

Who: Justice and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Blameless and Iskaulit
When: After the glitches kick in.

[Video & Blameless Action, Day 1 of glitching]

--Gone, vile thing. [The communicator turns on as it's thrown against the wall. Loyalty the pygmy snow leopard paces in front of the camera, making loud unhappy noises and largely obscuring the vision of what's going on inside Justice's room (for it has to be Justice's room with Loyalty, right?). Justice's voice sounds different, so much so that it's not immediately recognizable, but it echoes strangely. When the camera can see past the pacing legs of Loyalty, it doesn't focus properly on the person standing in the room. It's like the camera can't quite register that there's a person there at all, but there's definitely an outline there, and it's definitely glowing blue.]

Muire! What did you do?

[Iskaulit Action, Day 3 of glitching]

[For those who don't know much about Justice, it's not clear that this is Justice. The spirit glows blue all over, and it wears ancient Tevinter armor that obscures its face entirely. Looking at it directly may provoke a headache--there's something about it that seems fundamentally wrong, like it's not supposed to be there, and if one looks at it long enough, it may start changing shape to better reflect the observer's vision of justice.

It is also incredibly tense, and its sword is drawn. It turns to the observer quickly, and in an androgynous voice, it says,]
Speak, mortal, and tell me where I am.

[Iskaulit Action, Day 5 of glitching]

[It's official. Loyalty is literally the only indication that this is the same person anymore.

Justice walks the Iskaulit with Loyalty at heel, but this Justice looks nothing like people are used to. For one, this Justice appears to be a woman. For two, she has different armor, one that's older and sleek and resembles elven work with a long hood over her head instead of a helmet. Long, pointy ears are occasionally visible under the hood, but she's hidden her face with a scarf that hides everything except her eyes, which seem too sharp to be entirely human or elven. Her skin still glows blue, and she walks with a sword at her hip, and when she speaks, her voice still echoes, though it's considerably more feminine than usual.]
Where have the dreamers gone?

[Some may recognize that she's speaking in Ancient Elvish, but the augments automatically translate her into Common, so does it matter?]

[Wildcard - Meet Justice on any day]

I... No. I suppose you shouldn't.

[ She sighs softly. ]

I am Leilani of Clan Lavellan.
veilstrike: (pointed up at the stars)

It’ll take time for me to get to you, but I can come.

[ Elf. Well, that stings. ]
veilstrike: (i hear your voice crack)

[ Leilani is nervous the entire flight over and it doesn’t get any easier when she steps onto his ship. There’s something uncertain about her movements - and when she finds her way to Justice and finally sees him she’s clearly miserable. This isn’t the spirit she knew and it hurts. ]

I’m here.
veilstrike: (you gave him a curse)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-09-23 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think there are any other mages here other than myself and Anders. At least, no mages from our world.

[ She frowns, tilting her head as she watches him. She wants to wrap her arms around him, to draw him close, to... Be his again, but she slams down her thoughts and lock them away so he can't pick up on why she's upset. ]

Do they have a name?
veilstrike: (change to something new)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-09-25 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
She might not be. People don't get a choice when they're brought here and Muire might have been left behind.

[ Leilani follows him, a little like a lost dog, not sure what to do with herself. Her immediate reaction is to reach for him, to touch him, to comfort him, but she's afraid of what he might do to her if she does. ]

If you can't sense her then I don't think she's here, Justice.
veilstrike: (but how can it)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-09-26 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not -

[ But, ah. Leilani frowns, letting her mouth fall shut before she breathes out softly. ]

I can help you. Let's look properly and then we can move to another ship and look there.
veilstrike: (before i knew you)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-10-04 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible, if she isn't here. We can just fly onto the next one and search.

[ Fruitlessly, but. ]
