Who: Felix Alexius
Broadcast: Fleetwide (Video)
Action: The Marsiva (Hospitality Deck, somewhere near a viewing port.}
When: April 25 (afternoon)


[When Felix makes this communication at first it's clear that he's just doing it to find out if he really knows how. At first it turns a bit, slowly, but you can see the floor and the view part before it settles on his face.

His eyes are narrow, but not in an aggressive way. Mostly, he's just dealing with the fact that he has all this new information in his head. Shouldn't he be freaking out about it? Instead he just feel calm and curious.]

Well, this is certainly new.

When I said before I was ready for the Maker's Embrace I wasn't exactly thinking it'd be a spaceship. [And that new word comes to him effortlessly, making the joke less awkward that it should have been. He gives the fleet a small, half smile.]

They're going to have to change all of the religious texts, if that's true.

[The tone of his voice and the smile still on his face, showing clearly that he knows he isn't actually dead. He's mostly just dealing with this entire thing by making a joke because he still can't find the energy to be too concerned about it. Even the joke, though, comes off as more a comfortable, muted snark, than that he's expecting to bring the house down with laughter.]

I'm Felix. Obviously, I've just arrived.

For what it's worth, I think recent events were going to be prompting a rewrite anyway.

[You know, because elf mage Herald of Andraste. Oops, sorry scholars.]

How are you feeling, Felix?

[blightedson]

[His eyes widen a bit when he sees her, surprised.] Herald! Or, should I say, Inquisitor?

I'm doing as well as can be expected, I believe.

[A pause] How long have you been here?

[dawnwillcome]

[And isn't that a relief. After a string of familiar faces who have no idea who she is, it's nice to finally be recognized by someone she had grown to like again.]

Either is fine, but considering we aren't in Thedas any longer you're also welcome to use my first name, Jove.

[There's a fair amount of concern as she looks him over, all things considered. How do you manage the Blight in space if you aren't a Grey Warden? Will his illness simply stop progressing? She'll have to speak to Anders, and perhaps find a healer who will be discreet. Poor Felix.]

It's been a few months, now. There are quite a few of us here you'll recognize, so it shouldn't be too much of a shock. [There's a pause, and then she smiles softly.] Dorian is here, for example.

[You know what would have been a super smart thing for Dorian to mention to Fenris? That Felix exists, and at he isn't a threat. Or...wasn't, as the case may be for Dorian. But he didn't, and a Tevinter accent means nothing but trouble for Fenris. It puts his guard up instantly.

The amicable nature does little to soothe the elf, perhaps it's only the fact Jove seems happy to see him that Fenris doesn't straight up threaten poor Felix. When he does eventually speak, it's in Tevene and very, very guarded. ]

I am sure the Black Divine will survive the change.

[blightedson]

[Felix tilts his head a bit at the sound of his language and considers the elf. When he speaks, he does it carefully.]

And here I was hoping for change...

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris gives a soft scoffing sound. ]

I assure you, things are very different here than in Tevinter.

[He's trying to decide who Felix is. Well bred, that's for certain, perhaps another Altus? ]

You're not allowed to keep slaves for a start.

[No sense in beating round the bush.]

I'm sure the Chantry will be thrilled. If only there was a way to relay this vital information to them.

[She can imagine their horror and it delights her.]

[blightedson]

They don't take well to any sort of challenge in Tevinter.

But I'm guessing you're from the south? You'll have to fill me in on how they react, if we're ever able to tell them.

[He offers her a nervous smile. In part to put her at ease. He doesn't want to be confused for one of those 'evil Tevinter mages.']

[pirasea]

[Isabela isn't what you'd call fond of certain aspects of Tevinter culture, but she's also less likely to immediately take an aggressive stance than say... a certain lyrium tattooed elf.]

I doubt the Chantry of the south would be any more pleased by it. I imagine I'd be declared a heretic for even thinking of it.

[tothefly]

I take it there isn't much room in your religious text for spaceships?

[Have a curious redhead giving you skeptical eyebrows on the comm screen.]

[blightedson]

None at all.

If you want to travel to another world, you go to sleep and visit the Fade.

[tothefly]

That sounds convenient, if a little too fuzzy for my tastes.

You could always just write a new religious text. People do it all the time.

[realhumanbeing]

Hi, Felix!

[He chirps out the words and gives a little wave.]

What's the Maker's Embrace? I think it's kind of weird for everyone, honestly. Nobody's really used to living in space. But it's pretty good here, mostly, except when we're getting attacked. But, uh, that doesn't happen that much, so.

[omg steven let me hug you forever]

[blightedson]

We're taught that after you die you return to the Maker's Embrace. It's... the after life.

I was very sick, back home.

[lmao that was my exact reaction to finding out we have a felix]

[realhumanbeing]

Oh. Are you now? I could help, if you need it.

[action]

[thewhitepawn]

[Talking to others seems like a good idea - what better way to try and get information or just to try and help anyone else as uneasy as him. He approaches Felix, coughing softly to get his attention.]

So they abducted a few of us at once, it seems?

[blightedson]

[Felix turns to him and nods.]

Yes, it would seem so.

How are you? Taking everything in?

[thewhitepawn]

Mostly, yes. It's a lot to really come to terms with in a short span of time though.

[His smile is friendly, his words are polite as he studies the other.]

I'm Anduin. It's nice to meet you.

[survives]

[The religious texts not... Oh boy, she feels it.]

They didn't tell you guys about spaceships either, huh?

[blightedson]

It was all a bit of a surprise.

[survives]

[A laugh.] Yeah, me too. They never even told us we could go somewhere so far!

But I don't know if they'd listen to any of us if we told them.

video.

[dirth]

[ Well. It seems this place is capable of near anything, and Solas is nothing short of curious as he watches the video. Then he speaks, his voice level and calm. ]

Welcome.

[blightedson]

Thank you.

I hope it isn't too forward of me to ask, but have we met?

video

[lord_wizard]

Well, this could lead to some confusion.

[Clearly clarification is need as to why, but he can't resist the fun of drawing that out for a few more seconds]

Re: video

[blightedson]

How so? [He asks after a moment, more curious than anything.]
