[Open] Introductions

[in_death_sacrifice]

FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Kain Ventfort
RECIPIENT: Anyone/everyone!
WHAT: Inquisition newcomer trying out the crystals, getting weirded out
WHEN: Now-ish
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: If anyone wants to assume past CR, even if it's just acquaintances or vaguely knowing about each other, it's all good with me. (Especially fellow Grey Wardens or Orlesians from noble families).

[The voice that speaks has a light Orlesian accent, it’s definitely something which he couldn’t ever entirely get rid of over the years. He also sounds deeply annoyed. Seriously, he comes here with such good intentions and this is how he’s treated? Sigh. Sometimes he questions his entire life path.]

Is this how you greet everyone who joins the Inquisition? By acting as if you've seen a demon? [To be fair, there was only the one person who'd screamed 'demon' and fled fast. Most people who’d given him odd looks had taken a second glance, then shrugged and moved on, and in a couple cases they even apologized for some sort of ‘mistake’ they’d made. It's apparently clear enough to them that he's not who they thought he was. Still, the more annoying incidents stand out.] I’ve a terrible feeling I’m being put through some sort of initiation ritual. Believe me, I had my fill of such things when joining the Grey Wardens.

For those I haven’t met, my name is Kain Ventfort, and I’ve just come from Griffon Wing Keep to add to your warrior forces. I’ve been looking for a better challenge than I’ve had lately. I’m told I’ll find what I’m seeking here. [Redemption. He’s seeking redemption, and he’s also seeking answers to a very specific problem, but those aren't things he’s about to address in public.] Perhaps even an encounter with a High Dragon someday? What I wouldn't give to see one of them up close...

[There's familiar barking on the other end of the sending crystal, and a moment later, Inessa's surprised but not unwelcoming voice.]

Kain? It's good to hear from you again! I was wondering if you'd ever join us.

[Excuse her while she puts off the awkwardness of explanations for just one moment.]

[justice_is_blond]

Yelling 'demon' at people does seem to be a fairly common occurrence.

[His voice sounds rather wry.]

[dontmiss]

Ahhh. A demon.

[Don't mind the completely deadpan Ferelden. He's an asshole.]

[gatheringstorm]

Did they put you through the Grey Warden initiation in your smallclothes? Because I heard that's sometimes a thing.

[Hello again, Kain.]

[ forever pinged by others' interest in dragons - ]

There may be an expedition to seek out a dragon, in fact. If you are really interested and know of the dangers, then you're welcome to join us.
