[OPEN, mostly] so please remember me as who I used to be

[amygdalae]

FORM: Sending crystal announcement
SENDER: Bruce 'The Loser' Banner
RECIPIENT: Everyone in the Inqusition, with a private note for the advisors
WHAT: rest in fucking pieces kain
WHEN: 8th Kingsway
WHERE: Skyhold, but everyone can listen :U
NOTES: Plot log is here for those interested or have missed it. This is pretty much just the aftermath of it all.

...hello.

[The voice that comes through the sending crystals is--well. He's clearly hesitant, for one, and its easy enough to tell that this particular person is not that all used to speaking at large. Not that speaking into a crystal counts as such, but. The effect is still there, knowing where these messages will go to.

The awkwardness lingers for a moment, but then Bruce clears his throat and speaks properly, this time.]

This is Bruce. [Pause.] And I have news to deliver for anyone who is familiar with Kain Highwind, the Rifter.

[Another pause, and a quiet breath, because no matter how many times he does this--delivering news such as this is never pleasant business.]

He is dead--killed in a fight against a desire demon and its companions. All the healers at the scene did whatever was possible to save him, but the wounds were too extensive for chance of a proper recovery. Kain Highwind passed away a warrior, fighting to his very last breath.

In his last words he sends his apologies and well wishes to everyone who knew him, and to not mourn his passing - these are the words I pass on now to those concerned. For those who knew him, he will be remembered in our hearts.

Thank you for listening.



[Private to the Advisors only]

[Switching over now, and in a quieter voice:]

To the advisors: I will send you a detailed report as soon as I am able to.

[serannas]

He'll be missed.

[ She didn't know him terrible well, but Ellana fought demons with Kain before. It's terrible that it's this very creature that took him down. ]

You were there, I take it?

[amygdalae]

Yes. We were asked to investigate demon attacks, but we had not expected Highwind to already be involved in it by himself.

[...if only they knew how 'involved' the Rifter actually was...]

[serannas]

By himself? Oh, that's-- [ She doesn't want to speak ill of the dead, but he should have known better. ] At least he wasn't alone at the end.

[amygdalae]

[He really does. That Bruce can agree.]

I suppose that is the best we could hope for.

[serannas]

And the rest of you? Did you come out of the encounter all right?

[amygdalae]

Yes. We're all just tired out for the most part, and what injuries we received will heal in time.

[serannas]

Of course. I'm sure a lot of people are wanting your attention right now, so I'll let you go. Don't be afraid to tell people you need your rest, all right?

[amygdalae]

I'll do my best to keep it in mind. Thank you for your concern.
