01 🐦 (video; un: hawke)

[Hawke's been thrown her fair share of curveballs by life, but this? This is... different. Okay, that's putting it delicately: this shit's weird, as Varric would probably say. And as someone who's seen a LOT of weird shit, that's saying something. It's a lot to take in, but Relm, despite being rattled, doesn't let it show. Her usual snark hides the nervousness she's feeling at being in a new place and far away from the familiar.

At least there's a way to get back... though Maker knows how long it'll take. And honestly? She's not in much of a rush. If it weren't for Carver and her friends, scattered as they are, she probably wouldn't be inclined to go back at all. Not that she'll admit it.

With a little introduction and instructions, some money and a pat on the back to send her on her way, Relm finds herself wandering the city. Sure, she could go to her new place (ugh, communal living) but instead she winds up sitting in some grass in a quiet location, just trying to get her thoughts together. And it's then she remembers the little... phone, they called it? She could talk to a bunch of people at once with it. They even showed her how to use it.

A big mistake, as they'll all discover.

Well, if she's going to be here for Maker knows how long, might as well introduce herself and get a feel for the others here.]


Oh I do love it when life keeps reminding me that it's capable of surprising me. You'd think by now I'd have learned my lesson, but oh no. Foolish, foolish me.

[It's all said in a joking, almost laughing tone.]

Riverview. Quaint name. Not so quaint city. The ridiculously high buildings are going to take some getting used to. It's all so... clean. A laughable complaint, maybe, but well, I'm going to complain anyway.

The oh so lovely people at the gate gave me the basics, but there are a few horrendously pressing questions I do have for you lot:

One, where are the best places to drink? Two, what's the general view about mages and magic here? And three, where does one acquire... let's say art supplies? Paper or parchment, ink or charcoal, and the like? Maybe even paint if I feel so inclined.

[She almost goes to end it there, but, well, her mother didn't raise a complete barbarian.]

Oh, yes, introductions. My name is Hawke. Hopefully my reputation didn't precede me here.

I am a DJ by profession. I play music at clubs. I create it, and play it. Yes, my world and my time's version. We don't have them where I'm from. Or at least people who would call themselves bards.

Except in games or movies.

I think that worry is legitimate. People are dangerous on an entirely different level if they want to be. I've not encountered problems with any here.

[Not a southern barbarian. It's a Tevinter, thing, the vague superiority and feigned difference to sub-standard liquors. You wouldn't understand.]

Are you certain you're not native to Kirkwall with that sort of taste? Or is it that Fereldens are just that adaptable?

[He rolls a shoulder in a slight shrug.]

As I've been told. "The Good Tevinter". That's me.

I would. I mean, don't get me wrong there's a lot crazy things that happen here, especially around events that the locals do, but for the most part it's okay, people just trying to live their lives and be a community and take things one day at a time. There's definitely worse places to be stuck waiting for someone to fix a thing so you can go home if you chose.

Invite me if you do, I'd love to see it.

[ High five for weird class journeys!

...and yeah, ignore the fact that he's a chain-bikini away from being a desire demon. ]


Isn't it? Hawke is lovely, too. Short and flattering.

Not here, thank the Maker.

[He's never going to live down that little debacle with Josephine and the Herald's Rest.]

There are plenty of innocents here, Hawke. And I'm sure that given enough time, you and the Inquisitor will suss them out to protect.

[Her joke is ill-timed and ill-placed, but not unexpected.]

Luckily, it's only Dorian Pavus, Inquisitor Lavellan and myself. As for the topic of the conversation, it's... complicated and better handled in person.

Ah, yeah. Sorry. I guess that makes sense. A club is... a social experience. Typically they have a bar, music, dancing.

It's... a roaring good time.

[ Amused noise]

[Alex just considered for a minute before she replied.]

Well, it's pretty varied actually. This month is a festival of friendship, but last month was definitely a time for mourning. It was a memorial for those who had been lost in the first war here, and the illness that gave the name to the town. But there's festivals for light and sex and intimacy. It's kind of both crazy and really amazing all at the same time.

Even if I don't really approve of being turned into a kid for a few days just because someone happened to share a flower with me.

[Those words happened to come with a smile, because she wasn't really all that bothered; it had been nice to have a break and just do stupid things like play tag.]

Wonderful! It sounds like we'll be good friends.

I haven't heard any complaints, but...I'm sure that was something kept between themselves and the individual in question. I try to be inoffensive.

In action, but not in attitude, or thus has my experience been.

[Seven years sounds like torture, living in Kirkwall, but Dorian at least reserves that comment.]

Sweet enough to make one vomit, certainly.
