This is it. I've had enough. Blackwall isn't coming here, and to be honest I'm not sure if I'd accept his company after what he pulled, and I'm bored and I'm young and the world isn't ending so I can focus on things that are shallow. I'm giving myself permission to do so.

I want male company. I want to be told I'm pretty even when I'm covered in grime. I want to have someone to wear skimpy things for. Is this I mean, obviously I intend to keep my full responsibilities of the I Screw it You know, I don't think any of that is too much to ask. I can multitask! I have low standards! My first date with Blackwall was in a BARN for Maker's sak Hell, our armies defeated Corypheus while I was starry-eyed, I don't think wanting to go out and have a little fun is indicative of me sluffing off my destiny or title or whatever you want to call it.



Right?

PS: This is not permission for you to set me up with someone, probably. This means you, Hawke.

Right, so, I've decided to not be a terrible lump on a stool that occasionally makes coin by way of er trapping people that owe money into a magical prison and letting it crush them to death until they agree, and then getting paid for it. That's not very fun work, is it? Right, of course. And I agree!

So, I've been taking a leaf out of Anders book - not the bit where he murdered innocent souls and started a war that was catastrophically bad, mind you - but the part where he was a Spirit Healer. I've never been terrible at healing, I can do it quite well when I put my mind to it. So I've decided to do just that. Be the good bloke. The hero that Hawaii needs!

So I'll be lending my services three days a week (and for desperate emergencies) at the local urgent care. I've no doubt it will be exciting and adventurous! Full of germs and blood, just like Kirkwall. Only with a prettier landscape. Inquisitors, as always, I strive to win your approval - how's this? Am I, as they say, adulting? 💩 😃 🎆

Suddenly everyone wants to know why I'm not making toys and why I'm so tall. Stop asking me stupid questions. And stop asking me where your weird bearded man is. I can barely keep track of my own.

There's a tear in the veil. It's not natural, either. The Fade here is already ... strange enough, but this is


This is unusual. And I don't like it. In the early hours of the morning, I was nearly possessed by a demon - a demon much stronger than I had anticipated, and I almost let my guard down. I'm not But it wasn't a demon as we know them. It was different. A woman, her face wasn't completely visible but she was not natural. Sharp teeth, bloody mouth, white eyes. If the demons from this world are converging with the Fade, it could mean very bad things.

[OOC: Going off of this! Essentially the Fade Veil is weakened because of Samhain, and it was enough that the Nogitsune dinkered around and caught Dorian off-guard. Feel free to have your characters loop in anyone they feel is appropriate and get on the Suspect Nogitsune/Allison train!]

World, your deathtrap of a vehicle that you call "cars" looks interesting. I'm going to get my driver's license and travel the globe. Not having to pull over and kill demons every three minutes is going to be a refreshing change to sightseeing.

[ Edited to add 3 hours later ]

I failed my test. :(

This is quite possibly the strangest walk through the Fade I've experienced, and Maker knows I've had some doozies. I would very much appreciate the spirits to leave me be; I don't imagine adding "possession" to the Exalted Council's list of wrongs against the Inquisition would endear us any more to them, and I've urgent matters to attend back home.



[ ooc - Inquisitor Trevelyan! Human mage, horrible AU, you know the drill ]

Right! So.. that little thing called prison? Much nicer here than back home, and I haven't yet been murdered for being an apostate or made Tranquil because I'm dangerous. They've even fed me! The bed has a cushy mat! Could be far worse.



But right still prison. Anyone able to, uh. Help with that? It was an honest misunderstanding, I swear.

Okay, can someone that isn't a bat spar with me? I need to punch things, not be criticized every five seconds while punching things.

You know, this whole portal-dumping thing really is pretty disconcerting. I take back anything sassy I never said but probably thought at least once.

Mr. McGarrett, thank you for leaving me in the water. Much less disorienting to have only one unexpected transition at a time.

[ ooc; A future BP baby! This is Hale and Regina's daughter, who is a damn mermaid with Regina's power. ]

It's Dorian Pavus' birthday. Don't ask him how old he is. Unless you don't care if he singes off your eyebrows, then hey, don't let me stop you.

If you're in Hawaii and you want to come over and be nice to him instead, there might be cake in it for you. Depends on how fast you get here.

Well. That's interesting news.



Bull, what say you?

Triad game tonight. 7 PM. Buy in is something that is at least 80 proof. Be ready to go home broke and crying.

Magical portals are never nice enough to send you with your inheritance vault, are they?

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... Mage for hire? Maker, I sound like an Antivan Case by case basis, of course. I could strike fear into the heart of your enemies, haunt your neighbors garden, charm your house to have snow over it for a short period of time, help you impress your loved one by putting on a spectacular display. I won't raise the dead for you and nothing sexual (those days are behind me - well, in public, at any rate) and maker help you if you want the two combined. My services are currently required elsewhere for healing, but I would make exceptions.

That reminds me, I've been enlisted in helping a gentleman who is dying of a disease.

Should be interesting. Might go nowhere. He happens to be part of the group of people who don't trust magic, if you can believe that. Someone who doesn't trust magic? It's almost like being home again.

Home. Not Tevinter. I will, at least concede that it was nice temporarily being around those who can appreciate magic wholly. Not enough to have wanted to stay for the rest of my life, mind you, but there had been a lack of magical theorists around Skyhold after Vivenne returned home and Solas... went off to do Maker knows what.

What in the hell kind of person decided to make running a hobby. I mean dear god. Why?

[ Dorian Pavus ]

My kid, Stiles, mentioned that he's been talking to you about my health. I wanted to get a sense of what he's told you and what you have in mind. I'm not sure if he mentioned, but I'm hesitant when it comes to magic.

[ P. Hales ]

Stiles said he's talked to some of you about some kind of magic in relation to me. Which ones of you was that, and what did you have in mind?

Another breach, time magic and alternate universes. And here I thought that was all behind me and the most exciting thing I would get to do today is to make someone cry or free a slave.

Lovely.

[OOC: Future!DAI Dorian! 5 years, stuck with the Inquisition, became a Magister when his dad died and started raising hell in Tevinter. From the same game canon as the rest!]

It's pretty wild to operate without a war clock.

[ His Stiles ]

Alright, kid. What's your plan here? Jobs? School? Give me an idea.

[ Edited: Everyone but his Stiles ]

Can I get some help distracting the kid? He's spending way too much time worrying over me and not enough time being young and carefree and stupid.

I apologize for any rudeness I showed upon my arrival, particularly to those who greeted me at the fort police station. Due to circumstances beyond my control I am forced to be suspicious of unfamiliar magic, and my new body came as a shock.

My name is Herah Adaar, and I am the Inquisitor. There's no need to call me anything other than Herah, especially now that we're here. I'm Qunari, although I realize I don't look it presently. I understand that I'm a character in some form of popular game, which I don't understand but I'm glad the legends of the Inquisition transcend worlds, at least. Assuming we'll win I consider myself a friend to all people, and hope that I can be useful here now that you've shown us such great hospitality. I fight with a sword and a shield, but I would lay them down in an instant for peace.

Was that terri I wish Josephine was here to write my speeches.

It seems everyone's been having all the fun without me. That's unacceptable.

Varric, Hawke, we're going to find trouble as soon as I have my weapons back.

Shit. I haven't been separated from my Bianca for this long since a tyrannical Seeker kidnapped me and took her away. Try not to push any of her buttons, would you? I'd hate for all these lovely faces to get messed up.


Varric Tethras, at your service. I don't normally have to make such quick introductions, but given that I can be mistaken quite easily for an inferior a human...
