Alright shipmates. I have a very important and deeply philosophical question to ask all of you. It may change your life and rock you to your very core.

[Serious Hawke isn't all that good at being serious. So don't be bad if you assume, just a little bit, that this is a shitpost. Hawke clears her throat dramatically before continuing.]

Let's say you you receive an item. Something like a book or... a computer... read-y thing. And within it's pages it details the future of your life exactly as someone you know experienced it.

Would you read it? Only read the parts that are your past? Or just toss the whole bloody pile of them out garbage chute? Is there any right answer? Is it more dangerous to know your future or to experience it blindly? Questions! Thinky-thoughts! Deep ones.

Which leads me to-

[Hawke shows to the camera a large leather bound book entitled Tale of the Champion and decorated with the Kirkwall City Crest on it. Behind her there are a stack of at least 10 similar books.]

If you would like a copy of the apparently popular book by the somehow incredibly popular author, Varric Tehras, you can hit me up. Look, it's even autographed. Bet that's worth a coin or two. Maybe I'll even sign it so it's double famous. Or perhaps infamous. Which is maybe why the Ingress decided I needed 20 of them.

[She's not gonna sign it. Honestly, she finds this whole thing jacked! But also funny and curious and that's a lot of feelings all at once for Marian Hawke.

Then she reaches down onto the pile of books and pulls out an extremely cute and lace covered bra.]


I'm also giving away this thing for anyone who desperately wants to have the most beautiful bosom on the ship. Sadly, I just don't have the heart to suffer for beauty. I'm a born and true ruffian at heart. Size 32AA.

((ooc; "Tale of the Champion" details the events of Dragon Age II which you can read the short version or the long version of the summary if you want to get a copy/assume you were given a copy by Hawke and ask her questions about it. I'm also open at [plurk.com profile] bowtie or PM if you wanna ask specific questions))

Well. "Met" is a bit of an overstatement, "been aware of" is closer.

And it isn't so bad when you have the scientific knowledge of the phenomenon. Watching this happen, to me, is similar to how most people react when they see a match being lit. People who make fire using sticks and kindling or flint and steel might consider matches to be a nightmare, but for other people they're things restaurants hand out so you'll eventually come back for that terrific pasta.

[...well damn. And she'd been so careful with Thane, she hadn't thought to go in the other direction. Elizabeth just assumes that she's the most backwards one on the whole ship, but somehow she's managed a leg up via matches.]

It's a small stick with an accelerant-- fuel for fire-- at the end. You swipe it across a rough surface and it produces a flame.

[God she feels so awkward explaining how matches work. This must have been how Eggsy felt trying to explain to her how to take a photo with her MID.]

Now that is a question for the Ingress. I wish I could say I'd found some correlation, but it seems we're coming from different times, places, in the middle of something, not in the middle of anything important... I can't even offer a theory, truth be told.
