[ Ever since he'd arrived, Bull's first thought had been that he'd stepped through an Eluvian. That was preposterous, there hadn't been a single one in sight in the great hall of Skyhold. There wasn't one here, either. It was what had made the most sense– go from one realm to another without so much as blinking. Enjoy a bit of a tickle and tug at the midsection. ]

Figure talking to this little guy is better than trying to type something out. [ Or that was the gist of the explanation he'd gotten when a kind crew member had given him a quick rundown of the device. Though, Bull could really do without this so-called TAB. ] Most of you probably have yet to see the size of my hands. I would be writing in a whole new language within the first two letters.

It wouldn't be pretty.

[ This giant looking horned man shouldn't need to show his hands as proof, he practically filled the entire screen, hunkered forward just to be sure he can be made out. He gave a smirking grin and cocked his head to the right. ]

So... Aside from what I've been hearing around camp, there should be more dirt to dish with what's been going on. Who's got it? I've got a few jars I could fill. [ Shame those jars couldn't be filled with bees. ] And one last thing– anyone seen or heard from a witch? She goes by the name of Morrigan.

This whole thing reeks of her.

The official or unofficial script? If you say aliens I'm gonna take the last of your tp, I swear.

....Don't witches scheme all day and have dungeons full of eunuchs or something?

This witch isn't like your everyday witch.

[ She's spookier. It's probably the gold eyes. ]

As for your scripts, I'll take both. And you touch my tp— whatever that is— you're going to join me in the missing fingers club.

[brokeassgoing]

How do you wipe with missing-- WAIT A FUCKIN SECOND I'M NOT TALKIN' ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT! I mean your Ship Issued toilet paper.

Back to the witch, what don't make her everyday. Magic is magic, or so I've heard.

[pubcrawl]

I was never on any ship. I was sitting in the great Hall enjoying a drink and a lapdance.

[ And it didn't get any better than that. ]

You would think that. I'm no mage but I've been around enough to know they come in all different shapes and sizes.

[brokeassgoing]

That's rough, buddy.

[real rough, like rough tp]

Okay but again what's the weird part? How's a witch have enough power for whatever you're trynna imply.

[Kerrigan was following right up until the question about a witch. Then again, she could have gotten away with calling herself a witch or a demon or a prophet even back when she'd been fully human if she had been born in a much different century.

Her video feed is a close-up a nice view of her face, close enough for the glowing purple markings to be visible and head tendrils and part of the appendages on her back peeking over her shoulders.]

Just so we're clear... you wake up in another universe entirely, and think it's reasonably within Morrigan's power to have done this.

[pubcrawl]

[ Woah, look out. Tendrils, he can dig it. ]

You've obviously never met this Morrigan.

video

[swarm_embrace]

I haven't, but you have me intrigued. Who, and what, is this Morrigan.

video

[pubcrawl]

She's a witch. Powerful, greedy. Speaks with a silver tongue. Has enough sass to kick my ass back to Seheron and Par Vollen.

video

[swarm_embrace]

Sounds lovely.

[Kerrigan has been described as worse... But being Bull's prime suspect means she warrants caution at least.]

Calling her a witch doesn't tell me much. I can shoot lightning out of my hands and crush objects with my mind, and the Xel'naga... I'm not sure, but they would be the only candidates for this in my universe.

Witches... Could either be an awful mother in law or a bedtime story. It's not a thing we have.

[ The device is turned on but then set off to the side, so Bull can enjoy a lovely view of the medical tent roof.

It's really quite fascinating.

The doctor's voice comes in and out, as he's obviously moving around the area. ]

Morrigan was not a name that came up in any of the research done on the Ingress. Though the idea of people with ideas that outstripped their ethics is a universal one.

But I'm not getting into this story top to bottom over this device.

Video

[pubcrawl]

[ It takes him a moment to figure out what he's staring at. A roof, obviously. A tent roof. But he recognizes the voice. ]

Is that your way of inviting me over for a talk?

Video

[prorenataa]

Believe me, no one is more stunned by the development than I am. [ Adrien muttered and Bull might have heard him making a count under his breath, marking 10, 20, 30 ...

When he hit's 100, he pauses and concludes. ]

If you're interested, swing by. If you have other sources of information, don't bother.

Video

[pubcrawl]

What I'm interested in is what you're counting. And why.

Video

[prorenataa]

[ There is a pause, as if Adrien is trying to determine if he actually heard those words from the man's mouth. After a breath or two, he shrugs (though Bull can't see it) and gives the thoroughly unremarkable answer. ]

Compression bandages. I live an exciting life.

[otiosity]

So.

A qunari, a Tevinter, a dwarf, and two Fereldens walk into a bar...?

We need to figure out how that ends because we are now the perfect set up to a joke.

video;

[pubcrawl]

Let's just say if there's a redhead singing in this bar, consider this qunari occupied.

The dwarf I've met— everyone knows the dwarf. But who's the 'Vint, and the other Ferelden?

[ Cause she's obviously one of em. ]

[otiosity]

Tragically, the bar is metaphorical in this joke since we lost the ship.

[She puts a hand to her chest to indicate how heart broken she is.]

Dorian is the Tevinter. Anders is the Ferelden but I don't think you know him I because I know everyone he knows and practically invented our social circle. And Varric is Varric as usual. There's also an Antivan wandering about. And another version of me. This joke is going to get long. We'll need a very captive audience.

[pubcrawl]

Shame. I was really looking forward to spending the night with that redhead. Can't hurt to see how well she really sings.

[ He would mimick the motion had he not great axe fused with his other hand. ]

Dorian. I should've known. The man gets around. Hmmm, Anders... Can't say I know him but I know of him. Who's the Antivan? And what do you mean there's another version of you?

You mean to say someone's pretending to be you?

[liberaltus]

Not only do I get around, I'm clearly the springboard from which Hawke launches her jokes...ugh...Hawke. You are Marian from now on.

[He's met the other Hawke you see and now there is going to be confusion...there can't be two Hawkes so you are now on a first name basis with Dorian. Congratulations on the promotion.

Yay.]

Welcome to the shitshow, Bull.

[sketchycharacter]

Like the goddess? Possible, but not likely. It's the wrong genre—we've seen a lot more techie sci-fi bullshit than magic.

Cool horns.

video;

[pubcrawl]

[ Holy mother, don't even joke about Morrigan being a goddess. She could probably tear Bull to shreds without lifting a finger. Scary thought. No thank you. ]

Morrigan? A goddess? [ Hah! Then a grumble: ] ...she's got the power for it...

So magic, it doesn't exist here?

[ He'd finger guns about the horns comment but — great axe for hand, eye patch on one eye, holding TAB in other hand. Not happening. ]

[sketchycharacter]

[Probably a different Morrigan, unless this guy has friends in really high places.]

It kinda does? I've seen people use it, but they could already do magic stuff where they came from. The Ingress is what brought us here, and it's not magic.

[pubcrawl]

[ She can be high up there. In crow form. Bitch. ]

Then what is it? Looks like an eluvian to me.

[sketchycharacter]

Looks like a what now?
