Quest 001: A Favor for a Favor
[Varric had lost track of the days he'd been on this backwater planet. New time systems and science involving orbits and science the likes of which he'd never had the time for made him feel a bit... temporally lost. He'd spent most of his time fiddling with his new devices, wandering about and grousing about how he was effectively useless, thanks to his weapon being strapped to his back.]
[But there was one thing missing.]
[He'd done enough fucking around to figure out just how the TAB worked. He'd experimented by sending a few small videos to the contacts he'd gathered up -- mostly insisting that the Hawke's eat their meals and drink whatever water they could find. The usual stuff.]
[Now it was time to get down to the important business. The feed clicked on, with Varric's face perfectly in view. He gave the device both a crooked smile and a nod of acknowledgement.]
A message to whoever's listening. You don't know me, I don't know you. That's all well and good, but I make a living off of knowing people. [Varric lifted a bottle of clear liquid into view.] So. What better way to bond than over a drink or two?
[He lifted the bottle to his lips, taking a long swig from it. When he looked back, his lips cracked into a grin.]
You can have a bottle all for yourself if you do me just one favor. Find me a quill, some ink and a decent notebook, and it's all yours.

If you'd like, that is.
no subject
Just one thing -- [he's kinda blind] -- can you direct me to where you are?
no subject
Take a left at the big rock, and head until you see the phallic looking one?
[Varric that's not helping.]
no subject
[mildly:]
Well, there's a slight problem. I can't see -- whether a rock is phallic or not.
no subject
Maybe you should just tell me where you are?
no subject
[He raises up his hand so that the video can show his surroundings -- he's not far, actually]
Does that help?
no subject
[Please don't.][It took some squinting and thought for Varric to piece the scene together, but eventually he gave a grunt of affirmation.]
I'll be along, then. Any preference for drink? Strong, fruity? [Varric squinted at the selection.] Pissy?
