Hello, little rock.

You ask so many questions. All day, all night, and in all voices. What's worse than dying? Who are elves? How do you kiss one?

Listen to me: I can ask questions too. What are stars made of? Who put them there? Do you think they must have been very, very tall?

And — Who do you belong to?

...I mean I literally don't think I'm capable of doing anything shardy with my other, non-sharded hand, but eh, won't hurt to try to make something happen.

Sup Alan. I'm Church. Youuuu're not from around here, are ya?

[alankazam]

I'm from many places. Is here the Skyhold?

[motherfucking_ghost]

I guess that's what I mean, yeah. Skyhold, and the surrounding area. Or even this world, but if you weren't, you'd have a shard.

[alankazam]

I’m familiar with the Frostbacks, [ In a way he's certain few in the fortress are. ] Demons aren't of this world, have they been manifesting with shards also?

[ Since evidently, these speakers aren’t all demons. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...I mean, I'm pretty sure not. I haven't seen any with shards. We mostly just kill 'em and then close rifts, though. Don't, uh, don't start going on about the idea of Rifters being demons, because, been there and done that song and dance, really not interested in the sequel.

[alankazam]

No key closes a lock that it can't also open.

[ Demons are likely a symptom of the Rifts, not the cause. Still, it's a blessing none have been tossed out with a handful of their own pain lasers. ]

Does anyone know why they form where they do?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Rifters, or anyone with a shard, it's not just Rifters, can open rifts. It's, uh. Definitely looked down on. Since rifts mean demons, generally speaking.

Um, so we had someone who could predict where they would show up? I didn't ask how. I doubt I'd understand it. I don't know if that means there's a reason or if it's just a spike in some kind of energy.

[alankazam]

Had. They're gone now?
