Hello? Hello?

[Is this odd looking sending crystal on? He hopes so, or else he must look very silly holding this thing to his face and talking to nothing.]

Greetings, fellow captives. [He says with the most charming smile.]

I am Zevran, or Zev to my friends. It seems we will be together for some time, and I'll be cooking for you. [Ohhhhh boy who put an assassin in the kitchen and thought this was a good idea?]

Might as well be friendly, yes? I have been told we are all from different places. How exciting. I wonder if you all could tell me something about your world. I'm curious. I'll start, how about that?

I am from Thedas. Where Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and Qunari live-- there maybe others from my world here, I haven't had the chance to look yet. Anyways, I am from the country Antiva, home of the finest wine in the world, which I could really use some of that right now. If anyone knows where there is a bar it would be much appreciated.

[He says that last part with smirk.]

So tell me, what's your world like?

Complicated stories are more often the best ones.

[And he is interested in hearing this one.]

[otiosity]

We crash landed on an island where there was a secret temple in the middle. The kind and rather unfortunate looking hosts threw us a party. We ate and drank and danced and then suddenly a year had gone by once we left even though it only felt like a few days.

[crowkiller]

So you drank and partied for a year?

[Damm. He could really use that right now.]

Any chance I can convince the captains to go back there?

[otiosity]

None whatsoever!

Besides I think everyone else would probably band together and toss you out of the airlock to prevent it.

[crowkiller]

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

What? Besides the year part it doesn't sound all that terrible, but I guess I'll keep quiet about it then.

Does that normally happen around here?

[otiosity]

Well, there was the whole crashing part which was a bit traumatic. And a bad way to find out you get really ill in escape pods.

[LANDING WAS NOT FUN.]

Crashing, no. Landings, yes. But never any place that's ever the same as the rest.

[crowkiller]

That would put a damper on things.

[He hopes whoever was at the wheel of the ship during that ordeal is no longer.]

So no hope of a year long party? That's a shame.

[otiosity]

I wouldn't say "no hope" but I wouldn't bet on it either. We're more likely in for something that no one can expect.

[crowkiller]

If you are expecting something no one would expect, would you really be surprised then?

[otiosity]

Might have to start practicing your surprised face in a mirror.
