crystal, post-dream.

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Aenor Din'adhal
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: Post-dream

Ah--good afternoon.

[ A woman's voice, a good-humored alto, with an Ander accent lining the words like fur in mittens. ]

I have, I think, been welcomed to Riftwatch in my sleep. When I woke today, I didn't expect to pass so many familiar faces in your Gallows. Is that so common? If I am to live a month every night, I might find myself too tired to finish anything in the day.

Comments

[acreage]

I can promise you this doesn't happen every night.

[ it's tempting to apologize for not warning her, but it's not like he'd had any reason to expect this, himself. ]

[dinadhal]

You would look tireder if it did.

[acreage]

You sure know how to compliment a guy.

[bouchonne]

Ooh, are you an Ander? Has my ear caught the accent rightly?

[dinadhal]

...I am from the Anderfels, yes.

[noonrodeon]

It sure ain't regular as far as I can tell. Damn shame you didn't get here a bit earlier though. Boss' put on a good Satinalia feast that near makes up for this weird dreams folks seem to've had.

[dinadhal]

Then I'll remember, next time, to arrive earlier. Did you have the dream?

[fiat]

Did it happen to you too, Mutter? I dreamt five years of filing accounts and processing requests. The joke is on the dream-maker; I still cannot read.

[dinadhal]

[ With laughter. ]

You know that I can hear you in the next room.

[sohighandwild]

[The voice is Antivan and amused.] Oh, absolutely not. Sometimes you wind up unexpectedly stranded in the jungle instead.

[dinadhal]

The jungle, you say.

[hacker]

Yeah, don't worry, that's not normal.

Or do worry because it's big-time not normal.

[dinadhal]

You fight an all-powerful Tevinter who tore the sky to pieces. "Normal" isn't what I seek.

[lumelume]

[a soft gasp.]

That voice!

You're real, then! Andaran atish'an.

[dinadhal]

[ He gets a laugh in return. ]

Aneth ara. Did you think me a Fade spirit?

[muckspout]

[Slight concern tinging his voice.] Welcome. We didn't...uh...happen to meet, did we?

[dinadhal]

Tell me of you. Your voice, it is not enough to know.

[katabasis]

[katabasis]

You'll find plenty to do regardless of how certain your sleep is.

[hornswoggle]

I can't say whether it's a better or worse introduction to the lot of us.

[ js. ]

But while we've weathered some strange occurrences, I can tell you they're not a nightly event. You will likely manage to shore up a fair amount of rest before you should start fearing for disruptions.

[dinadhal]

It was, I think, efficient. But I wouldn't recommend it.

The places you spoke of in Kirkwall--were they real?

[rowancrowned]

I know your voice.

[dinadhal]

You did kidnap me, not so long past.

[pittance]

Beats icebreakers. Shame I'll never find out your favourite colour, I guess — or what your tourney name'd be.

[dinadhal]

These things, do you want to know them?
