FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Byerly & Bastien
RECIPIENT: Everyone EXCEPT Benedict, Derrica, Ellie, Gela, Mobius, Peter Parker, Stephen Strange, Tony Stark, Viktor, Wysteria, and Yseult.
NOTES: Death mentions. Also don't ask me why no one gets a last name in the list above except the MCUs. They just felt weird without them.

Bonjour! We were thinking–the Ambassador and I–we should do something to thank some of the people involved in recovering everyone we lost. Of course we all do our jobs and everything is very dangerous all of the time, but this does seem a little above and beyond. Rewriting time. Risking–I don't know. Vaporization.

Becoming lost in time. Being sent back to the Towers Age to live out your lives dodging Darkspawn in the…Ttthiiirrrd Blight? I think it was the Third Blight in the Towers Age.

Wasn't that the one where Orlais let the Free Marches burn for a decade before they came to help? It might feel just like home, [ is a conversation that could go on for quite some time, but as a gift to everyone listening in, Bastien refocuses on the point. ] We ought to do something for them.

So we ought. Bastien ought to have something done for him, as well, [ is debatable, Bastien would say, but debates only draw attention ] but instead he’s organizing this, so he’ll have his particular comeuppance later. For now, we’re focusing on the others who risked life, limb, and temporal sanity for us. A party, to start with —

But not to end with, because not everyone who helped is really a party person, we think. So something quieter, too. Everyone could sign a letter? Or write your own.

Or gifts, [ is one last suggestion. ] Exchange ideas. Plan. Give inspiration.

I think our nerds would like that very much.

[ Byerly managed to pick up the word "nerd" from his visit to Earth. It's proven useful. ]

[ Lightly: ] Even the non-nerds might find use in paper. Are there any plants in Thedas that represent overcoming adversity... or... defiance?
