[a hand is moved away from the lens of the camera and the image is filled with light! and it's got a good angle of the underside of a very large chest. the woman holding the device points down at it, looking away at what can assumed to be someone else.]

So you just...talk to this thing, is that it? [...] Oh what's that? Angle it a bit-- ah yes, right then.

[it's angled at a better position so the viewer can now see her face, and it's obvious she has no idea what she's doing but she sure as hell is trying. there's the sound of someone talking over the traffic, and the strange woman lets out a melodic, chiding laugh.]

Thanks dearie, that'll be all. And I really do mean it this time. Honestly, off with you!

[she waves the person off screen away and there's another laugh as she shakes her head, looking at the camera in a veiled unsure manner, though there's still a rather cocksure air about her.]

For a second there I thought that little display had been blasted me back to the Fade. But folks here are far to clothed to be any demons I know of.

I arrived a few hours ago, but I won't say the culture shock is completely gone. In fact, it's still there, but I've been enough places to learn to get over it quickly no matter how bizarre this new land is. And I know not to question my means of travel, though I will say I prefer going at it by ship as opposed to...whatever that was.

Honestly though, heroes? I become bosom buddies with the Champion and suddenly people start thinking her good nature had rubbed off on me or something. It hasn't. Not much, anyway.

I've been told I'm not alone in this. So hello? [a light tap at the camera] Anyone in there?

Oh, and I'm sure it will be a pleasure, Jack.

If I may call you Jack. Was never too big on the formalities.

[a considering pause.]

Isabela. Formerly Captain Isabela but alas, it seems as soon as I finally regain myself a ship, it is nowhere to be found.

....So your name's Isabela, you got a ship, and you come from a place with the Fade. Wouldn't happen to know a handsome elf with a fondness for leather, would you?

I may or may not know someone who fits that description. It all really depends on who's asking and why they're asking.

[For once, he looks almost serious.]

He was here. He was a ....good friend. I'd just like to know if he's alright.

[piggybacking off that private but she really has no idea what she's doing.

she does not the sudden seriousness and that pause, and there's a knowing look.]

A good friend, is that right?

Well, I bumped into him not too long ago. Didn't look quite himself [lol graphics change lol] a bit older, thinner too. But still the same old Zev we know and love.

Last I checked he was on his way back to Antiva. So yes, I'd say he's doing just fine. In fact, he's gotten a bit better.

[if you know what i mean.]

So folks here come and go? Just like that?

Yeah. I've been back home once. Sometimes people just go home and don't come back.

[But he is relieved, now, so it's back to that easy charm and a smile.]

He told me about you. He said I'd like you.

And I suppose Zev was one of those people.

[she playfully purses her lips, as though in thought.]

Did he now? Well, I certainly can't say I'm one of the most likable people in Thedas. In fact, I strive to be the very scourge they curse whenever their valuables or lovers go missing.

But seeing as you were "good friends" with Zev, I can tell that probably won't be an issue.

Yes. A few other friends of mine, too.

[A soft, warm laugh.]

Can't say it would be, since I'm the cause of lovers going missing here, so.

Oh are you now?

Well, I've come to relieve you of those duties, then. Or compete for the title.

Whichever works.

Well, we could share, I suppose.

Well you're lucky that's the one thing I am willing to share.

Oh good, I shouldn't like to compete with you. Sharing is caring, all that.

Afraid you'd lose?

Of course not, darling.

Because I assure you...you would lose.

Mmm, I do like a challenge.

As do I.

Which can only make me stop to wonder why you went and knocked boots with Zev. [SHE'S JUST ASSUMING!] He's not much of a challenge underneath all that light armor of his.

[Half a laugh:] Not really, no, but -- we shared the same views on a number of things.
