WKLBZ 2: Thedas

FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Audra, Loki, Thor
RECIPIENT: All the Inquisition
WHAT: WE'RE UNDER ATTAAAACK
WHEN: during all this shit in Tevinter
WHERE: They're in the catacombs but anyone with a crystal can hear them
NOTES: Audra Loki Thor. threadjack away frendos


To anyone listening, Minrathous is under attack by Corypheus and his Venatori. Anyone wearing Inquisition colors is not safe, anyone who would oppose him is not safe. I beg those of us still in the city to make their way out, but help any you can without putting yourself in danger as well.

Under attack is putting it rather mildly? There's a Gods' Damned Corrupted Dragon lifting the Archon's Palace out of the ground! The guard are beating people to death in the streets!
Listen, all of you would do well to get to the docks or the catacombs, or leave the city on foot if you can stay hidden! Don't go dithering around looking for help; you won't find any here!


Not all of our people are heartless or Venatori. Avoid the guards and anything with the imperial crest, but if you are human or dwarf there should be those who will help disguise you if you need it. Particularly if you let the mages among you take the lead. Seek the alleys; they have the entrances to the catacombs. Some of us will linger to help those unfamiliar out, but we will not linger long. It is not safe. And watch the sky. The dragon is... fast.

[ crossly, with a little more steel in it than usual: ]

Geneviève Lucienne de la Fontaine, you shan’t have me back at all if you persist in speaking in such a fashion.

[ an audible breath, and then more softly: ]

We are... [ They are what. Fine? Alive? Not so, all. ] as well as we can be, given the circumstances. I love you very much, I am taken care of. I pray you turn your formidable fire on the man who deserves it.

You sound very well, Lexie, please stay that way.

We will, Gigi.

[ that’s an awful lot of certitude. so much so that it is, perhaps, partially for morale. ]

I promise to let you both know if it becomes more dire, but for now, you may turn your worries elsewhere.

You are my sister, my worries are with you until you are safe.

She is as safe as any of you, now.

[He is still so very exasperated. Do you people not understand how well protected she is?]

She has both myself and my brother to guard her, as well as these other miscreants. She is not an incompetent, she will be fine. Worry over someone in more dire circumstance.

If you have confidence in anything, it should be my ability to be worried about at least eighty-seven things simultaneously. Including you, so don't be too heroic, they probably wouldn't let us put a statue beside the champion's one.

[Loki has spoken quickly and loudly in every comment previous to this one--here he starts but his voice catches in his throat. Why this one jest, this one statement to lighten his mood and express concern is different, even he cannot say.

His breath shakes before he answers. His voice is not so affected.]


No, I don't think they will.

[With less restraint and less volume:]

I shall not die here. You know better than most that I am no hero.

I know.

( the words could be harsh, but she handles them gently. )

You can critique everyone else's efforts when you're all back safely. I'm going to see what I can do here.
hwaaaitsme: (Cell what do you want)

Do me a favor. [It is a request, despite no punctuation implying so. When he speaks again his voice is softer, hollow sounding, and his words are brief. He spares no thought on how to say this, only that it must be said and with speed.

He will not be able to repeat himself.]


Speak to my valet at the estate. A dais must be constructed. He may remodel the music room to suit.

( gwenaëlle would like to ask, but the shape of what isn't said is—enough. now isn't the time to press for detail. )

I'll arrange it.

Have him leave room on all sides, please.

[His voice is equally hushed.]

One dais in the middle of the music room, ( dutifully. ) I'll make sure it's done.
