voice; you're everything a big bad wolf could want.

FORM: sending crystal
SENDER: Ruby Lucas
RECIPIENT: open to anyone with a crystal
WHAT: a discussion of folklore and fairy tales
WHEN: cuurreennttt? current.
WHERE: Skyhold! She just got back from Orlais.
NOTES: Nothing particular comes to mind, potentially dark themes because fairy tales are terrible sometimes? Please chuck warnings in subtitles, if there's anything potentially triggering.



Hey, everyone. This is Ruby Lucas. This is going to possible devolve into discussions of fairy tales and folklore and all that kinda stuff, so if that's not your thing then... fair warning. I don't think there'll be anything urgent in here, Inquisition-wise.

So, basically I just wondered if there are any fairy tales and stories that you're really fond of, or that you connect with. Not just Thedosian ones, either, if you're a rifter I want to know. There's a lot of interesting stuff I've picked up about them, over the years. Some of them have a basis in... fact? Or reality, I guess, though maybe not always our own reality, if that makes sense.

Anyway, this is pretty whimsical. If anyone knows any versions of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, though, I'd be especially interested. Anything about wolves, generally, to be honest, werewolves included. Kind of my thing. Not... ( a hesitation, and her tone becomes a little more serious: ) Not so much the Boy Who Cried Wolf, though. I've heard a lot about that one.

Um, and for those of you that I've spoken to about that project, it's still in the works. Fear not, it will happen and it will be wicked awesome.

What's a fairy?

[ He sounds a little more subdued than usual, because LELIANA HAS BEEN POISONED among other problems, but there's no harm in having a distraction for the road. And that new word aside, he gets what she's asking. ]

I could tell you about Dane, if you haven't heard that one. Or about there werewolves in the Brecilian Forest, but that one isn't a story.

Why all the wolves? Are they important to your people?

[ it seems to him there's a theme here. ]

Fairies are quite real in the world I'm from, even thought most people just refer to them as Sylphs, but I've got some tales to share if you'd like.

And if wolves interest you more I have some tales to share.
[They're more like real stories for Rydia but, shhh, it doesn't really matter.]
Ever heard of Fenrir?

I like Andraste's Mabari.

[ Does that count. ]
