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!

[ On one hand, she can appreciate that response, because it's sassy as shit and she'd normally love it. On the other PLEASE DO NOT, OH GOD, HER HEAD. There's a tired groan. ] You suck so much. [ At least that somehow doesn't sound like an insult.

But she's listening to her the best she can - pain reliever sounds good, but the sleep aid. Oooh the sleep aid. ] Yes - yes, that sounds awesome. I haven't slept since I got here. I mean, pain relief would be cool too, I dunno how long my head's gonna feel like it's trying to give birth to Athena or whatever the fuck it's trying to do, but just. Anything, dude. Alcohol only makes it feel mildly better and I feel like that's not gonna last long.

I sure do, don't I?

( just as peppy as before, because adalia is nothing if not committed to a bit. luckily, she doesn't seem at all upset by the quasi-insult. )

Well, I don't know too much about medicine, but I can pretty safely say that drinking heavily probably won't help your headache...

( she should probably make a dose of the drunkard's head too, just in case... so that's pain relief, sleep aid, hangover cure. she's going to be very busy. )

I'll make you both the alindulth and the sleep aid, and throw in a hangover cure as well. No charge, you sound like you need it.

[ Alright, there's a small, albeit tired chuckle. At least this girl can take her attitude in stride. It's a sign of good character traits in Chloe's book.

But more importantly the no charge big of everything she says is what sticks out and there's radio silence for a little bit because that's. Really nice. And not at all something that she was expecting, because Chloe doesn't know people who do that. It's always about making a profit. ]

Seriously? [ She sounds skeptical. ] ... What's the catch?

Oh, gods, you and the dwarf — has no one ever just showed you common decency? Ever? Don't answer that, you'll probably make me sad.

❰ adalia's eyeroll could probably be heard over the crystal, honestly, she doesn't have the tact for dealing with people who aren't used to nice things. ❱

There is no catch. You sound like you could use some help, and I'm in a position to give it, so I am. It is really, truly, entirely that simple. Okay?

I know people with common decency. [ Like... two of them. ] I'm just not usually buying shit from them. Most people like to make profits off their skills, monetary or trade. But who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

... Thanks.
