Who: Mahna Lavellan
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Marsiva, if you'd like
When: Pre-shuffle

[By the time he's sorted out that he's no longer in Thedas, Mahna's patience has all but run out. The silence had woken him and the continued lack of birds chattering or insects buzzing unsettles him far more than he expects. Instead, inane music plays under his strained voice.]

I am Lord Inquisitor Lavellan and it would serve you well to return my companions to me.

[He hates titles, hates formality, but if it gets his comrades back, he'll throw them around as much as necessary. Nevermind that he's in a foreign place where 'Lord Inquisitor' might just as easily put a target on his back. If Corypheus is behind this, he won't run and hide.]

I was traveling with three others and a ram: Dorian of House Pavus, Lady Mai Bhalsych of Korse, The Iron Bull of the Bull's Chargers, and Lord Woolsley of Redcliffe. If any harm has come to them, I can assure you it will be repaid in kind.

Comments

action on the marsiva!

[thebarkside]

[ it'll be a little while later before jade approaches him, expression curious and fluffy white dog ears perked. she'd caught a lot of the conversation on the network, but even with him on board the marsiva alongside her, it seemed impolite to just, you know. intrude.

but it's been a while, and she's not sure that any of them are going anywhere for a while, so - ]

Hi. It's, um - Lord Inquisitor Lavellan, right?

[ ahaha what a mouthful. she manages to swallow her smile at the title, though, even if it seems a little silly to her. ]

[Oh right, yes, that title. Mahna looks up from where he's sitting and waves a hand to a seat near him.]

Mahna. [Pause because wait he didn't answer her question.] But also Lord Inquisitor Lavellan on Tuesdays. And you are?

[thebarkside]

It's Jade.

[ he gets a sort of wry smile from her as she takes that seat, drawing her legs up onto the chair with her to hook her feet over the edge. ]

And you might want to re-think that policy. Just for the sake of practicality, I mean - I've spent a few years in space and I can tell you right now that keeping up with things like "days of the week" is waaaaay more trouble than it's worth.

[viran]

[Mahna himself mostly sits up, though he crosses his legs out of habit.]

And here I was hoping there wouldn't be any more Tuesdays.

[thebarkside]

There doesn't have to be. I could start a petition to get rid of them, if you'd like, if you promise to actually sign it.

[ this is a ridiculous conversation, but she hardly seems bothered by it. what else is there to do until the shuffle? ]

[viran]

[Oh he's totally down for talking about ridiculous things. Bring it on.] I'd sign it as many times as I could. Tuesdays are a terror to all who suffer them.

[thebarkside]

I actually maintain that Thursdays are worse. Opinions?

[ the amount of attention jade has ever actually paid to the days of the week: 0. ]

[viran]

[Mahna grins a little before crossing his arms as if truly weighing the two days against each other.] I still find Thursdays preferable to Tuesdays.

[Yup. This conversation is totally happening and Mahna doesn't even care; the distraction is very welcome.]
