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.

[Felix turns to him and nods.]

Yes, it would seem so.

How are you? Taking everything in?

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.

[Felix matches that friendliness.]

I'm Felix, and likewise.

[He glances towards the view port.] Isn't this... something.

It's... I don't even know how to describe it.

[Looking through the viewport, he feels... tiny. Insignificant.]

I've never been anywhere like this before.

Nor I.

Until I woke up here, I wasn't aware that there were any worlds outside of Thedas.

It's nothing like Azeroth either.

[He pauses, turning to study him curiously.]

Is Thedas where you're from?

Thedas is... a collection of countries and city states. The country I'm from is called Tevinter.

Have you heard of it?

Tevinter...

[He echoes the word curiously before shaking his head.]

No, I've never heard of it, not that I can remember at least. I'm from Stormwind - but I Don't suppose that sounds familiar, does it?

Stormwind sounds like a name we might use, but otherwise it isn't as familiar has I'd like.

That's probably to be expected.

Everyone here seems to be from all sorts of places, from what I've gathered. I've only met two other people from my home.

[And he's still not completely certain how to think of that.]

[He nods.]

That's right. I've seen some familiar faces as well. They're all on different ships.

That's what I've noticed too. It's just hard to take in.

[Not necessarily to accept - but then again anyone from Azeroth is used to a bit of the unknown just lurching out from time to time.]

I had things to accomplish, I was in the middle of-

[Nearly dying goes unsaid. He quiets, shaking the thought from his mind.]

We were probably all handling something before this.

[Felix shrugs.]

I don't think this place minds that most here have important things to do back home.

[Then he frowns a bit.]

I'm sorry, that wasn't very comforting.
