>> And there's just a bunch, so look at this link and let me know if any stand out to you.
>> Clicky

>> Hi, this is Alistair.
>> I thought I'd check it to see how you were doing since the Blight ended.

>> I need to check on something. Would you two like to join me on a scouting mission?

>> Not to alarm you.
>> But the voices are getting louder.
>> Aren't they?
>> Also, dragons in my sleep.
>> Not the Flemeth kind.

( To Jess )

>> Thackery wants to help somehow.
>> He doesn't want to feel useless.
>> I asked him about Joining but then realised that's not my call.
>> I know you can only do so many of those.
>> But there has to be something.
>> What do you think?

>> Hawke, I need your help.

( Thackery )
( Jess )

>> I'll be out tonight.
>> Thackery and I are going on a food truck picnic.
>> But I restocked the freezer with ice cream.
>> Left you some choice takeout menus.
>> And there's communal chocolate in the fridge.

>> So, Valentine's Day is in four days?
>> I'm really awful at this making plans for holidays thing.
>> But as it turns out this is one we could skip, if you want.
>> Not that spending a nice evening with you isn't fun.
>> But we already do things like that.
>> It's not really my holiday, is all.

Included are people from Thedas who actually remember Thedas

>> They're Archdemon nightmares
>> Just so you know.
>> Or it could be the Calling
>> Alistair doesn't have the Taint yet. So I'm fucked either way.
>> We should all do a BBQ. At night so Pam can attend.

Pam

>> I need a solution for lack of dick
>> I'm sure you can figure something out.

ooc: Alistair hasn't been here long enough; a text from a random woman would just confuse him.

>> Please don't laugh at me.
>> But um.
>> I can't drink.
>> For the next seven months or so.
>> And then there's going to be a tiny human.
>> With my looks. And Atton's.

>> New Year's is just around the corner, literally.
>> Most of you are getting pissed drunk, I hope.
>> Is there a place you're all doing that?
>> I saw some adverts on the network, so there's that to consider.

>> I take it you all got photos, too?
>> This is the strangest holiday season.
>> I wished to see mother again and it... came true.
>> Sort of.

To Maia
>> So, beloved cousin.
>> I won't be going home for Christmas.
>> What were your plans?

To Thackery
>> I realise I should have asked you what your holiday plans were.
>> Thanksgiving, and all of that.
>> Did you want to do anything for Christmas or the like?
>> I think it's about time I talked to you about my dreams, too...

>> Right, so.
>> Please tell me, dear cousin
>> That this rumbling has nothing to do with darkspawn.

Ms Marian,

It has been a while since our appointment and I wanted to check in on how Carver was doing. I also wanted to see how it went with the crate to take him home. Did he cry the whole way home? My cats used to do that quite often until I started taking them around in the car to get them used to it. But I also wanted to let you know that his lab work came back clean and it seems that Carver is a very healthy boy. I greatly enjoyed you two coming into my office and hope to see you again (hopefully not in an emergency situation) in the future.

Sincerely,
Thackery Binx

Pam

>> Tell me you're alone and horny.

Hawke

>> I need advice.

>> Don't you ever do that to me again, though.
>> I really mean it.
>> I don't need that.
>> Another family member disappearing like that.

Right, well, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and draw the conclusion that you may have gotten a dramatic text message from my cousin, that she didn't deign to reply to.

Does that sound about right?

>> So.
>> Your girlfriend.
>> Quite gorgeous in person.
>> I've had a lovely chat with her, did she mention?

Well, it seems we're in the middle of another crisis.

Perhaps bad timing, but you've got the job if you still want it.

And of course I certainly hope that you're alright. No dragons with laser eyes, attacking house plants, or strange illnesses?

>> Gods you wouldn't believe...
>> Well no, I'm certain you would.
>> But you've dreamt of Ferelden before, haven't you?
>> Wasn't the Blight so much fun?
>> Bethy died, she died right in FRONT of--

(sent a few days ago)
>> Merrill has been on bedrest
>> It might be fun to follow the shower up with a sleepover.
>> If you'd like to stay over, bring some jammies.
>> I'll make sure we're stocked with all the slumber party essentials. :)

[Obi]
>> You should come visit! And bring your ladyfriend.
>> See if you can borrow the Lotus!
>> Park on the right side of the drive so I can see from my window.

[Isabela]
>> Thank you for helping me.
>> My memory is foggy, but I feel like you stayed with me.
>> Longer than you had to, I mean.
>> Thank you.

[Hawke]
>> Will you come over and see me tomorrow night? I can't make it to the Hanged Man.

[Varric]
>> I've finished all your books.
>> Tell me a story!

>> Merrill's been taken.
>> I don't care if you don't remember her just yet, but trust me.
>> You're helping.

*Trigger for kidnapping and endangerment. I would also say that Frodo did some quick poking around in Merrill's contacts on the network, and that is how he got people's names. If you think you're Merrill's friend, then you can see this.

A fancy invitation is sent out to everyone who is registered on the network and left at their front door. It is a red box with gold ribbon containing a little champagne bottle, bubbles, confetti, a Iron Man & Pepper figurine and the following invitation to a certain wedding:

[OOC: Feel free to use this post to RSVP!]

>> I made an appointment.
>> With a shrink.
>> I'm trying, okay?

>> Is today going to be another one of those days you avoid getting out of bed?
>> You can't avoid life forever, Hawke.

[Text to Bethany Hawke]

[Text to Fenris]

Are you in or do we have to drag you kicking and screaming?!
