Nice flowers.

Not that I'm complaining about being away from all the raging teenaged emotions, but what happened to get us all sprung so fast? I don't think we were at the Shambala any more than a week - definitely not our usual stay.

Once you're in the swing of things, it's second nature. "Another universe? I've spotted a friend; I'm adjusted already!"

[pseudologist]

"Now, how does this one work, and how can I use my world's tricks to my advantage?"

[littleladyluck]

"Who seems important here and how can I help or hinder them?" Or, in some cases, "Who was I and why did they do what they did?" Maybe it'd be less stressful if we thought of it as a logic puzzle instead of a new prison.

[pseudologist]

Me, I prefer to think of it as a new story. It might turn out to be total crap, but at least it promises to be something different.

[littleladyluck]

Oh, that's an interesting idea. I'll need to use that, if you don't mind!

[pseudologist]

I don't mind at all.

[littleladyluck]

Oh, I don't think we've been properly introduced. Genevieve Blanchard, personification of the Principality of Monaco. If you need to find me, look for ribbons and braids. It's lovely to meet you!

[pseudologist]

Varric Tethras, rogue and storyteller, hailing from Kirkwall. And I assure you, the sentiment is mutual.

...Out of curiousity, is 'personification' used as a title in your world, or are you really the spirit of a principality?

[littleladyluck]

Kirkwall in Scotland, or are you from an alternate Earth?

I am the principality given a human form that represents the land and people. As the country changes, so will I, and I will live until it collapses.

[pseudologist]

Neither. My Kirkwall's a city-state in the Free Marches, in the world of Thedas.

And you must have a lot of stories to share.

[littleladyluck]

Thedas! That's new. I'm sure that it's a lovely place. At least, I hope it's a lovely place.

Oh, of course! I'm full to the brim with them; overflowing, actually!

[pseudologist]

It's pretty much the opposite. But at the end of the day, it's still home.

I'd like to hear them someday. I can trade you a few.

[littleladyluck]

Oh, dear. My sincerest apologies for whatever's mucked up there!

What an offer! That sounds absolutely lovely, M. Tethras. Any time you wish, I'm here!
