[Voice Post]
Three people have dropped pots onto my feet this week. If you cannot walk through a place without crashing about like a charging bull, you should not be allowed into a shop with breakable wares. And if you cannot control your children, then keep them at home until they develop manners or control over their limbs. I am tired of sweeping.

I find myself profoundly disturbed to say this, but I miss Varric's stories. There is a television on in the back room at all times. The owner tells me that it is playing soap operas. The quality of the stories they tell are somehow much less coherent than anything Varric invents.

	Your Varric is a storyteller? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	captainisabela 2013-09-13 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	One of the best. He has a flare for dramatics, foreshadowing, and dialogue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would like to meet him. Is he here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captainisabela 2013-09-13 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Unfortunately no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kvothethearcane 2013-09-13 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	Then perhaps I might tell you stories in his stead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captainisabela 2013-09-13 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	I would like that. Come by the Hanged Man. We have a bard but we're in need of a proper storyteller. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kvothethearcane 2013-09-13 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	I will. I work some evenings playing at George's Taverna, but I'd be glad to have another place, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Ugh, competition.~~ That's alright, darling. You can switch off with our bard, Leliana. Have you two met? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kvothethearcane 2013-09-13 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	No, I don't believe so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captainisabela 2013-09-13 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	I'll introduce the two of you when you stop by. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As Isabela says, he is a skilled tale teller. Though not a factual one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Voice Response] kvothethearcane 2013-09-15 01:42 pm UTC (link)
	All tales are truthful, although they may not perfectly retell the facts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-16 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Not Varric's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Voice Response] kvothethearcane 2013-09-16 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	I would, of course, have to hear them to give a true answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-17 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps he will drop into this town and you can find out then. Or you could play the ridiculous game we are allegedly portrayed in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Voice Response] kvothethearcane 2013-09-17 12:08 am UTC (link)
	A game? With cards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-17 12:12 am UTC (link)
	No, it is played on the TV machines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Voice Response] kvothethearcane 2013-09-17 12:16 am UTC (link)
	What a strange idea. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	shiningsea 2013-09-13 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	I miss Varric's stories too. Nothing else really seems to compare. Not even the books of this world. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-15 02:38 am UTC (link)
	They are at least less personal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] shiningsea 2013-09-15 11:44 am UTC (link)
	That's true. I don't mind personal stories, but I do like stories about other people even more. Even if they are a bit more boring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-16 01:04 am UTC (link)
	At least with those we have nothing to compare them to. When he tells his stories about Hawke, we always know just which parts are exaggerated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] shiningsea 2013-09-16 01:35 am UTC (link)
	I think just about every part of his stories are exaggerated. That's what makes them so good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-16 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Yes, but it is less jarring when I can't pinpoint exactly where it runs astray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] shiningsea 2013-09-16 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	Memory is a very tricky thing, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	captainisabela 2013-09-13 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Don't they have leashes for children? If not, they should. I think I'm going to save this should Varric find his way here. He'll be flattered. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-15 02:39 am UTC (link)
	If they do, not enough people make use of them. If he arrives, he will doubtlessly have a town network in place without days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] captainisabela 2013-09-15 03:39 am UTC (link)
	I think for the good of all, they should be free. Probably. He always was good about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-15 05:00 am UTC (link)
	I would support that. I would also support less children in general. I could not go anywhere without someone knowing that I knew Varric, at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] captainisabela 2013-09-15 11:38 am UTC (link)
	Was that such a bad thing? The worst thing he called you was broody. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] notaslave 2013-09-16 01:01 am UTC (link)
	I have been called worse. But no, it was just strange. Sometimes unsettling, wondering just how many things Varric knows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Voice Response] captainisabela 2013-09-17 01:54 am UTC (link)
	He was an eerily well informed dwarf. (Reply to this) (Parent)
