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.

I know most of you think I'm an utterly worthless fool that is a danger to himself and others, and.. well. you wouldn't be entirely wrong. But I'll have you know that I'm quite well liked here in.. where are we-- oh, right. Denver Colorado. I was dragged out here for some hospital festivities and have now found myself participating in what's called a Polar Bear Plunge. Someone said it was fitting because I quite resemble a bear and I'm not exactly sure how that got that as I can't shapeshift worth a shit, but I'm choosing to take it as a compliment anyway?

But I'm raising money for a charity! And I have beer! And people keep taking my clothes. We earn money dependent on how long we can stay in the water wearing nothing, so don't tell them that I can cast a fire spell directly below me and warm things up. For charity.

Fenris, should I steal one of these little children for our own? They're amusing!

THIS IS INSANE EVEN FOR US

If anyone was wondering if it's a good idea to try and close this portal of yours, it really isn't.

SO. 1) family horde, bring it on, and 2) where are my Blackpointers? Are you o

So, we haven't made any progress on catching this damn demon, right? Dorian, you sick of me shadowing you yet? Maybe you can do some magicky crap in the Fade, draw her in, pull her through where some of the rest of us can be waiting?

I don't know if this is actually possible, but if anyone wants to try and trap this thing, speak up. Let's end this shit already.

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? 💩 😃 🎆

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. :(

😃😀😀❤️‍👬💋💋🛏👍🚬

These little buggers are called emoji and they represent everything wonderful about this world. I think I'm in love.



But sadly, they don't pay. So I need a job. Or just money, if you've money to simply give me for looking pretty, I'll put it to very good use. But marketable skills include being very good at helping people and killing things. I make a rather good errand boy - unfortunately - and I can make things explode. On fire. Sometimes ice! Oh and then there's the bit where I can heal, I suppose, but I don't think that the hospital life is for me. Fellow people of The Network and Thedas, tell me how you earn your coin!

This is what I get for trusting a magister.


If this device tries to possess me, you will wish you'd finished me off.

Ugh. I wish to be released from this place you say is a hospital, I am recovered from my injuries and I would like answers.

[OOC: Cassandra from the same AU as Whit's housetrevelyan!]

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.

FILTERED TO TEAM DAD:

And how is everyone feeling today? Recovering well, I hope?

FILTERED TO BULL:

I think now may be a good time to start planning our escape. Did we want to go to South America first? Live in the wild-

Ugh, no I can't even finish that. Wherever we go, there had better be at least semi-decent accommodations.

Not quite what I expected for the afterlife, and you're all far more attractive than the demons I'm used to. Either what they're saying is true (which is rare, in my experience) or the Fade has certainly stepped up it's game.

so if i'm not public and dinosaurs aren't real if say a hypothetical fucker says he's gonna sue cause i knocked his teeth out and then OL bit his arm he doesn't have a case yah?

should've let her finish him. this is a fucking headache.

FILTERED TO IRON BULL:

Assuming we've decided to settle into wedded bliss in Hawaii, amidst the volcanoes...

What do you say we put your brawn and my brains to good use and build a house? I miss living in something... bigger. Decadent. Something that allows us to share a shower without hitting delicate parts every time we move.

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?

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.

FILTERED TO THE DRAGON AGE CREW:

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.

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.
