[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?

People are usually unimpressed when kids start calling them fatass shitheads though. Even if it's the truth.

Then you should know we aren't like most people.

But perhaps it's because that isn't all too creative of an insult. I'm sure they'd be far more impressed if you broadened your vocabulary and insults.

Oh trust me, I've got a broad vocabulary. But, they probably wouldn't get it.

You have to speak idiot-speak to idiots after all.

Ah yes, "idiot-speak in the presence of idiots".

Allow me to jot that piece of advice down in my journal. [she pats her...well...pantsless legs with a free hand]

Oh would you look at that, must have left it in my room back in Kirkwall. Shame really.

Ha, ha, very funny. But I'm serious.

Oh, as am I.

[lol no she's not.]

You jest.

I assure you I don't jest. That's child's play.

Then you're a fool.

Everyone jests.

Well, I certainly don't.

I simply lie. And cheat too. Maybe fit in a witty, playful quip every now and then when Varric doesn't try to steal the show.

Well, everyone's a liar. People lie four lies a day on average.

Who's this Varric guy anyways?

Oh aren't you just clever. How old are you?

And he's a good friend of mine. A man with a knack for storytelling and proud owner of chest hair that can make a woman simply weak at the knees.

Sixteen.

That's it? Seems like any old dude if you ask me.

Ah, so not quite that young at all. I'm surprised.

And you're lucky he's not around to hear you say that. He's far from old.

What? I'm still very young for my age.

He's probably older than old.

Last I checked, sixteen was sixteen. No way of being any older nor younger than the age you are right now.

I mean, I just turned sixteen. Or, well, I should be sixteen but I'm still figuring out shenanigans.

What do you mean?

It's complicated.

Try me.

Would you believe me if I said I 'died'?

I suppose I could.

Okay here's where it gets tricky.

Technically I was alive, just, I existed outside of my body.

So, you were something of a spirit then.

Not entirely too tricky to wrap my head around, but this is certainly stemming into something a mage or Templar would understand.

Something like that.
