FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Merrill
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Tips and tricks for navigating the city
WHEN: Now?
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: c:

Hello everyone! If you could do me a favor and not cut any of the long strands of twine you might see around the city, that would be wonderful. It's to help people get around. Myself included - lived here for years and I live for a while and can't remember where anything is!

[ Not that Merrill was very good at remembering where things were when she was in Kirkwall every day anyway, but. ]

If anyone else is having a hard time finding their way around, a ball of twine is the best way! It'll get you back to where you need to be.

[ She can cast a silence field and make a decoy of herself for escape purposes, but sadly can't turn others invisible too. Still, they can walk around all sneaky! ]

Oh, good! I'd like to meet more elves who grew up outside clans.

[chainlightning]

[ but they need their own theme music ]

They're very nice! Well, most of them. I suppose that's true of all people.

[serannas]

[ Eighties sitcom theme music! ]

Yeah, that's how I look at it. It's best to try and get to know individuals and see who they are than just assume everyone is a certain way.

[ Like all shems hating elves. Or all Dalish elves being savages. ]

[chainlightning]

I don't know why people would do that. It's never made sense to me.

[ Sure, some stereotypes can help you to start off with, but honestly. People are people. ]

[serannas]

Maybe from fear? People find it easier to paint everyone the same so they know what to expect and aren't surprised.

[chainlightning]

Except that doesn't work at all, does it?

[serannas]

Oh, no, not at all. I suppose that's why they get so angry about everything not going their way.

[chainlightning]

They should relax more. What are those things the Orlesians have- spas? They should go there.

[serannas]

[ That makes Ellana chuckle. ]

Not a bad idea. We could anonymously slip them spa flyers underneath their doors.
