FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Adalia (and dragon son Charis)
RECIPIENT: Errybody
WHAT: Don't kill the dragon! Adalia can make you stuff! She has welcome packets for new rifters! HUZZAH!!!!
WHEN: Day after the Rifters show up
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: I don't have actual ooc writeups for the welcome packets. Yet.

( the voice that comes over the sending crystal has quite a bit of pep, though it may be manufactured pep. either way, the girl sounds energetic. )

Hello Inquisition, and hello especially to all the new Rifters who showed up yesterday! My name is Adalia, and I have a few points of order I wanted to let everyone know about.

First off, you will periodically see a baby dragon out and about in the Gallows! That would be my charge, Charis. Say hello, dear.

( there's a trilling call from the crystal this time, the sound going up and down in pitch — like an imitation of the word "hello" from a creature who can't actually say it. )

Please don't try to kill or otherwise harass him. He isn't a native dragon, I brought him through the rift with me as an egg, and the dragons where I'm from are both intelligent and rather friendly! He'd love to meet you, if you come say hello in good faith, and I promise you will not leave the meeting worse for wear.

Secondly! I have welcome packets for new Rifters I've been working on. They aren't particularly fancy yet, but included is a glossary of terms you need to be familiar with in order to carry on conversation here in Thedas, a map of the world as it is currently understood, and a short introduction to the various factions and politics at play at present. In the future I'll try to do more, but it's only been two months since I got here so this was as much as I could get done when I'm making the things myself. If you would like one, please stop by the Gallows library, look for the lady with curly blonde hair accompanied by a dragon, and simply ask! I will provide.

( a clapping noise, and she sounds even more excited now. )

Lastly, and most excitingly personally, I've figured out how to make a couple of the things I could make in my home here in Thedas! If you have need of a sleep aid, perimeter alerts, or a hangover remedy, I'd be happy to provide, either for money or trade. Feel free to find me in the library or get in touch with me over crystal if you're interested!

( not a fire-breather, goodsir, an ice-breather! and a very cuddly one at that. )

Your nephew...? Oh! Elros mentioned — Ffffingon....?

( please say she got your name right... )

[First it’s winged dragons and then nice dragons and now it’s ice dragons, soon enough dragon as a concept will be completely meaningless]

My niece’s grandson, if we’re going to be scrupulously accurate, but yes. He hasn’t been throwing too many family names at you, has he?

( elves. what the fuck are your lineages even. )

Just the ones who are here — there's you, and then I think it was Maglor and... Maedhros? The one who offered to smith things for us. Speaking of which!

( suddenly she's excited — )

I offered to make him spark gravel and the sleep aid in exchange for a sword, and now I have a batch of both to give him! You're his friend, right? I think Elros said the two of you live together.

[You don't want to know, Adalia. Be afraid, be very afraid.]

I am indeed sharing a room with Maedhros. He and Maglor are my elder cousins, so when we arrived it was easier to stay together.

I've heard a great deal about your sword, actually. He's not had a project like it for some time.

( that is unexpected. adalia blinks, surprised, and begins to blush. )

I don't know why that would be, I didn't ask for anything fancy... Unless I did and I just don't know I did. I suppose not knowing how smithing works, I would have no way of knowing...

[He has to stifle a laugh at that reaction]

It can be, if you wish; my people prefer their weapons as fair as they are perilous. But what I meant is that it has been some time since he has had the opportunity for any craft at all. I am glad to see him at work again.
