[Behold. This is not your everyday pleasant, charming, and well-spoken Dorian, noooo -- say hello to your not-so-friendly neighborhood irascible Dorian. He’s not above sarcasm and friendly banter, but short tempered is rare for someone so practical and cordial…and yet.]

So we’re the bad guys, the root of all suffering and evil blah, blah, blah…now where have I heard this tune before? Oh right, partiality as old as the Maker himself…and yet they’re not above lying, manipulating, torture, brutality, and theft [theft gets its own special emphasis for very specific reasons] they don’t kill, they don’t imprison, such unique little snowflakes they are. I’m certainly not seeing any of their own in here for transgressions committed, because they’ve been flawless hosts I suspect. Venhedis kaffan vas.

[He’s so irritated that it’s difficult to tease his sarcasm apart from his true irritation.]

Of course, I could be wrong, the little pack of Savrii that assaulted me unprovoked could have been a fever dream, it’s possible. Not bloody likely. But possible.

[So what’s brought on so much agitation? Well, for anyone who knows the mage, they know he’s something of a drunkard and a drunkard without wine is being forced to dry out. Right now, he’s only agitated…small mercies.]

As an aside has anyone taken stock of all of our resources, they’re still feeding us and supplying us with some things, yes? I need more than that to keep myself occupied -- books, cards, music, writing materials…any-bloody-thing really.

[His voice isn't shaking at all.]

[ a laugh ] Glad you haven't disappointed me with your taste. [ see, this is why he liked Dorian so far. ] Years ago, our nobility back home used to speak it. Tried to emulate the pompous French court. [ for all the Soviet Union's flaws, at least it wasn't Imperial Russia. ] What are these "Orlesians" like?

[ a world without Russians but with French. what a true hellscape Thedas sounds like. ]

The best languages are always the ones you can curse the most creatively in. I admit that I have a certain bias towards Russian, but never let it be said we don't have some creative turns of phrase. If we wanted to say the same thing, we'd say something along the lines of "Насрать".

[ hmm... ]

Sounds a little bit like your home, only somehow worse, because I'm sure they find a way to make it all that much more obnoxious.

[ it is difficult to say. after all, the idea of playing a grand game and undermining others does sound like a fascinating challenge...

...but not if it's with the French, even the alternate universe ones. ]


There are worse things to do, I guess. Though, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't mind a drink right about now.

[ though unlike Dorian, he doesn't drink all that much. or, at least not in comparison to Russians. ]

Of course, this might all be another simulation.
