Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking-

Okay, maybe not.

Intros first, I guess... Hi, I'm Robin! Currently sort of younger big brother to Redwing if you've met him. First 'Jaunt' so I'm a newbie at all of this.

Anyway, I know a lot of people have been freaking out that this is all... quiet? Not dangerous so far? I'm not sure how it usually goes but since you're not feeling the aster and if yoga or whatever isn't going to cut it, I rented a Wii from the hotel and set it up in my room - sorry roomies - if anyone wants to come and just chill for a bit. Maybe we'll have a dance-off or something!

Not one of the perks of the room, I'm afraid. Although they did give us free chocolate, which is so much better. What does a person even do with a scepter, anyway?

[turbedon]

Wave it around while expecting people to pay attention, I think.

[deconsecrate]

That would explain how popular they are with the monarchy.

[turbedon]

Maybe they hoped at one point it would give them magic?

[flatteries]

Don't get me wrong, I can easily deal with a little danger! [ GOT TO KEEP UP A GOOD REPUTATION... ] But even so, it's not as if I enjoy waking up next to some sort of hungry dragon. In fact, I'm fairly sure no one would enjoy that sort of thing unless they are a dragon enthusiast.

i'll phonetically pronounce whatever i want

[deconsecrate]

[ Ha ha ha ha ha ] Noh....ot in Thedas, they didn't. Imagine the scandal!

[He is imagining the scandal, and it's glorious. ]

[turbedon]

If even then. Does waking up next to a gigantic hungry wolf count?

you rebel

[turbedon]

Magic equals bad news in Thedas or something?

psh that's just hawke's diction

[deconsecrate]

[ Ohhhhhhh Dick. ]

You could say that.

[ Water wouldn't melt in his mouth, that's how dry this is. ]

[turbedon]

Have you considered working in laundry?

[deconsecrate]

Maker's breath. Go on, tell me why. [ 'Make my day' is somehow implied even if Clint Eastwood is ten thousand years and twice as many grizzles away from Hawke. ]

[turbedon]

I don't know if this translates to your speaking voice, but I swear you're so dry you'd be the best drier and starcher all in one. People would come to you in hordes insisting you get their clothes nice and crisp.

[Hey, look, shut up. It's not his fault you kept using words he didn't really know while trying to explain it. Not that Dick really knows beforehand just how little Fenris knows of modern day technology.]

Makes sense. [Insomuch as elec-things seemed to favor the presence of other elect-things, anyway.]

And what sort of games do you play with it? Is it like cards or dice?

[The only kinds of games he knows. Sorry, Dick. You'll just have to babysit this culturally incompetent fool for the duration of your roommateship.]

[turbedon]

Among other things, yeah. Look, it's something that's easier to show than to explain, so I'll let you take a swing at it before anyone else arrives.

[flatteries]

It happened to me with a bear before, so I'm sure it counts.. [ Shiver. That had not been a good morning.. this is how Inigo learned his first lessons about camping out in the woods. ]

Although I've never been in a Jaunt here that actually started with waking up next to something hungry, so I suppose we are safe for now. Let's just not give the Trumps any funny ideas, hm?

[turbedon]

I think they've got enough ideas of their own to keep them busy.

[flatteries]

Perhaps their mind are a little too creative? Although at least they can hardly make us deal with another gigantic squid in the middle of a city. The only squid I would like to see right about now is one served on a plate, honestly.

[turbedon]

... Now I want calamari.

[flatteries]

.. Excuse me, cal-what..?

[ sorry for not being up to date on all your modern stuff.. ]

[turbedon]

Calamari. Batter-fried squid rings of delicious glory.

[trulyfree]

Eeerm. [Yeah, he's maybe like...an hour's walk away from the hotel, at best. So...]

I may be a while even if I begin my return immediately. Would you still be willing to show me if I arrive after the others?

[flatteries]

That actually does sound rather good by now.. [ If not just to vicariously get revenge on the squid for making him end up in the water last Jaunt. ]

Do you think they sell those anywhere here? I am not quite familiar with this city.

[ Or this time period.

Or anything modern. ]

[turbedon]

You can probably get it with room service or the hotel restaurant if you don't want to try braving the city just yet.

[turbedon]

Sure I will. Can you find your way back okay?

[trulyfree]

Thank you. And, yes, I can. I shall be there...soon.
