A warning

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Anders, Oghren
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: People are being warned
WHEN: Current!
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Oghren. Blue is Oghren, bold is Anders.


[There's a heavy sigh before he speaks; the first speaker, Anders, might be having some serious regrets.]

We've a new Warden, or rather an old Warden returned to the group, and I've a warning to issue: if you're challenged to a drinking contest with a particularly smelly dwarf, do not take it. The Wardens are not responsible for what happens if you decide to ignore this advice. Honestly, your best bet is to steer clear altoge--what are you drinking now?

[There's some bottles clinking together followed by a loud belch before Oghren speaks up.]

You need some better alcohol. This tastes worst than actual piss. Funny color to it too.

That's not... Maker's breath, Oghren, that's not for gulping down! Put the remnants of the potions down and stop messing with them! If you puke or you die, you better do it outside this tent. I'm not responsible for that either.

[There's more clinking as Anders gathers up what remnants he can.]

What are you going on about? That wasn't ale? [There's a pause.] My ancestors fat tits, what was that, sparkle fingers?

Who would keep ale in the healing tents? That was twenty doses of emetic. Now step outside, because you are not going to get sick in here.

[There's now a grumble and some rustling.] Never heard of keeping something good around for pain. Got to have those potions instead. Can't just have a good ale or something stronger. Got to be... [The sound trails off as he heads outside.]

[There's another heavy sigh. Anders sounds like he's already exhausted when he continues.]

Don't challenge him. Just don't. And if anyone listening cares to bring additional ghoul's beard to the healing tents, I'm in need of it.

[He seems able to take a hint, lies or no lies.]

So what's your favorite kind of booze?

[Good kid. He likes you. You can stick around.]

Favorite? Ha! I'll drink anything. Even got my own collection going on.

[Er...]

But not here. Going to have to start building that up again.
issala: (asala)

[personal profile] issala 2017-04-04 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That's pretty cool. I'm not good at collecting things.

[Street kid problems. If it's in your stomach, nobody can steal it.]

...I'd probably drink it before saving anything.
wardeneructate: (Listens good)

[personal profile] wardeneructate 2017-04-05 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
Street kid, huh?

[Honestly he's just thinking back to the ones in Orzammar. He figures that's probably what that means because basically everyone who is a something can totally collect something.]
issala: (hissrad)

[personal profile] issala 2017-04-06 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That obvious?

[He sounds a little embarrassed.]
wardeneructate: (And that's where dwarves come from...)

[personal profile] wardeneructate 2017-04-13 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the sort of attitude you usually see with those that are street kids. Survival first and enjoy what you got because who knows when the next thing is coming.

[He pauses a moment then laughs a little.]

Seems bad but it's not a terrible mindset actually. Makes a person appreciate what they've got. It's more than most bother with.
issala: (asala)

[personal profile] issala 2017-04-14 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I've never been luckier than when I tried to rob a guy and he took me here instead. I have the chance to be someone, you know?

[The boy pauses for a moment.]

...but I'll never forget where I came from or how it affected me. Took me a long time to not just stuff food in my mouth and run.
wardeneructate: (What day is it?)

[personal profile] wardeneructate 2017-04-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
You know you don't get to start off saying things like that then not telling the story, right?
issala: (ashaad)

[personal profile] issala 2017-04-15 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a little laugh at that.]

It wasn't that interesting. I was starving and I tried to rob a guy. It was an Inquisition scout and they told me a little about the Inquisition as he handed me food. He said it had changed his life, fighting for the Herald.

I ended up checking it out, you know? I had nothing to lose.
wardeneructate: (Thinking about booze)

[personal profile] wardeneructate 2017-04-17 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds something like an idiot but a good one.

[He really is complimenting the guy okay. Seriously.]

Well you're an interesting one. So guess I have to say that I'm glad you got fed and turned this way. Means I got to meet you.

[Then he grumbles.]

But don't go spreading around I say soft stuff like that all the time. Got a sodding reputation to keep.
issala: (ataash)

[personal profile] issala 2017-04-17 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts at that, trying to hold back a laugh.]

Well, you sound like a great guy. I promise I'll keep your secret.
wardeneructate: (Dwarf you need)

[personal profile] wardeneructate 2017-04-20 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's more like it. You're a keeper, kid.
