crystal; semi-private.


FORM: Crystal
SENDERS/RECIPIENTS: Adrasteia, Edgard, Ellis, Matthias, Bastien, and maybe some guest stars
NOTES: Conversation catch-all for this plot!


[ If the team fanning out across Ferelden and Orlais doesn't periodically make some noise to let him know they're all alive, Bastien will break the silence with a laidback, ]

Ça va?

[ But they're more than welcome to talk without prompting. ]

Furness can be crossed from your list. There was no attack.
heorte: (rm00253 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-13 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
You needn't apologize. There was a fire, just not one we need concern ourselves with.
heorte: (rm00279)

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-16 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Say it that way, and you'll have bad news meet me at my next stop for certain.
kantikoy: (could even make it happen)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-13 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm outside of Vitroluçon and I think I've found something. Do we know anyone who can translate Tevene? I can write what I've got, or at least spell it out.

Madame de Cedoux would know if we have someone on hand. Or might be able to do it herself.
muckspout: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-08-13 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think rich people worry about their appearance all of the time or do they just really really like to look at themselves?
kantikoy: (your hard times are ahead)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-15 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I'm sure it's a little of both, honestly.
kantikoy: (one step closer)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Adrasteia gives a small snort. ] True enough.
muckspout: (well fuck)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-08-16 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Even when you were reading? Shouldn't someone reading be...looking at the books?

[A small huff.]

Don't understand it.
kantikoy: (you're like my yo-yo)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-09-24 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, you've found a mirror in someone's library?

Could it be an eluvian?
kantikoy: (on the other side)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-09-29 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
A magical mirror.
muckspout: (worried)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-10-01 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a quaver in his voice.]

What sort of magic?
kantikoy: (I deserve congratulations)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-10-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Moves you from one place to another, but I think you'd have to walk through it for that to work.
muckspout: (close and thoughtful)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-10-04 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Can I touch it?

[He's gunna touch it.]
kantikoy: (what made it special)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-10-07 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Be careful!
inkindled: (11)

[personal profile] inkindled 2021-08-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
More that only rich people have got the time to be looking at themselves so much, isn't it.
muckspout: (Default)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-09-05 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Suppose so. Not enough time to think things through though. If I had a great mirror like this, wouldn't put it in a library!
inkindled: (02)

[personal profile] inkindled 2021-09-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Where would you, then? Garderobe?
muckspout: (I see you)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-09-27 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[With disgust.]

Garderobe? Who calls it a garderobe? But--yes. Or where ever their too many clothes are. Makes sense to look at those in a mirror, not so much books

[personal profile] inkindled 2021-08-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Suspicious mudslide in Alnwick. Which wouldn't sound like anything, only mudslides can actually be caused, right, and besides, I think there might be good reason for that suspicion.
heorte: (16)

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-28 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
What makes you think that?
inkindled: (11)

[personal profile] inkindled 2021-08-28 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause there was a camp made up where it started and empty lyrium bottles lying about. I reckon natural occurrences don't leave those sorts of traces.
heorte: (rm00305 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
No, I expect not.

Did they leave any tracks?
inkindled: (11)

[personal profile] inkindled 2021-09-23 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Some. I can follow for a bit. I don't know how far I'll get, s'not exactly my specialty.
heorte: (rm00178 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-09-24 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Might be better to leave it be, until you aren't on your own.
heorte: (rm00237 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-29 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You can mark down that Holmfirth was razed by darkspawn.
kantikoy: (that it doesn't hurt me?)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Courciennes as well. There's Deep Road access here, I think.
heorte: (rm00280 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-30 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
We should come back with Vance, and a few others, to see if there's any tunnels in the area that needs to be sealed.
kantikoy: (stay awake)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
The local townspeople won't be excited about it but I think that's a good idea.
heorte: (rm00184 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-30 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
We can remind them that they're likely to share the fates of the people of Holmfirth if they try to ignore the possibility.
kantikoy: (but now it's on)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
We can also remind them that I dealt with their tainted dead.
heorte: (rm00212 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-30 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
You had no help?
kantikoy: (move in the right direction)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
They were too afraid to handle the bodies themselves.

[ Much in a tone of 'it's unfortunate, but fine'. ]
heorte: (rm00179 (2))

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
How much of the village survived?
kantikoy: (looking over the edge)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Roughly one out of every ten of them.
heorte: (rm00289)

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-30 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Holmfirth was empty.

[ a specific choice in word. they both know what it is when a darkspawn leave behind an absence of bodies, rather than a trail of corpses. ]
kantikoy: (for the ones we love?)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-08-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Maker's breath.

[ She hates this. ]
heorte: (119)

[personal profile] heorte 2021-08-31 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye.

[ He knows. ]
muckspout: (angry)

[personal profile] muckspout 2021-09-05 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Out of breath.]

Report from Cafort. The report is dragon!
kantikoy: (hesitation was my first instinct)

[personal profile] kantikoy 2021-09-07 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind, do they know?

[ Is it Corypheus'? Hopefully not. That dragon has proven difficult to kill. ]
