audio; date of the sad party

Ah, now it is working! Wonderful!

[The huge, booming voice on the other end of the TAB pauses for a moment, gathering up his thoughts. And when he speaks again, you can almost hear the grin on his face.]

Hello. To you I have not met, I am Reinhardt Wilhelm. And I, too, have come to give some words in this time. When we are still mourning the loss of our space homes. Our real homes. And our friends.

[He clears his throat. What he says next is pretty cheesy, but there's no doubt he believes in what he says, completely.]

Things can be destroyed. But as long as the people, as long as we are strong, my friends, we can always rebuild.

And, if you find yourself in need of some strength -- [Here, Reinhardt laughs, though it's not his usual, booming one, it's more solemn.] -- call for me. And I will be your shield. I have strength to spare.

...

I just winked there. You cannot see it, but I did.

[Varric spent a long few minutes after the speech tapping his finger against a nearby rock. He'd never admit it aloud but... he was at least somewhat stricken by his words. He didn't exactly need the inspiration of course, everything he'd been missing had cropped up on the Hub but... he didn't need to say that out loud.]

You ever considered contracting out your speech-making abilities? I've had a lot of hero types in my books, and none of them have ever sounded half as inspiring as you. Me, I'm a real wordsmith, but I'm-- I'm not so great at the whole motivating the masses thing.

[All of the decent speeches he had written had come from the actual heroes themselves. It was easy to sound good when he was just transcribing things.]

I've known a few of those "speak without thinking" types. Usually they spout a bunch of nonsense. [The image of Sera was clear in his mind, and he almost felt a pang of longing. Maker help him if he was missing her]

Maybe once things get back up and running, you'll accept some coin to help me iron out some of my own dialogue? I'll even write a gratuitous thank you to you if it ever gets published. [Provided, of course, that someone outside of their flock would be interested in whatever bullshit they'd gotten up to.]

[No coin? The dwarf was starting to like the man more and more.]

A drink or two then? Something, anything for the inevitable trouble.

Good man. I knew we'd be able to broker a deal. [Boisterous as the laugh was, Varric couldn't help but offer a chuckle of his own.] I'll let you know when I'm all set up, then.
