[Was the Moira in need of a Frenchman throwing possible sass around today? No? Too bad. That is to say that Arno here has a question, and it's one that's been bugging him for quite some time now. Two years, to be exact.]

I have a question for you all, provided we're past the whole drama spectacle that's taken the ship by storm recently. [Said in a humorous tone, and he continues.] How many of you have been mistaken as coming from somewhere else?

For example, I come from Paris, France. However, in meeting other people from other universes, [And boy, that still sounds weird, even though it's a familiar concept to him now] I've been asked or even assumed that I'm from a place called Orlais, which resides in Thedas. I'd suspect it's mostly because of my accent and that I speak a similar language to those of the Orlesians- but I've never been to Orlais or even heard of it, save for my time before being taken here.

I suppose I'm asking out of curiosity. [That and him being asked so many times where he resides in Orlais. It gets old and really annoying after a while.] I can't be the only one who's had this, either here or back home.

Oh, they're regions of America. Doesn't really compare to being mistaken for a citizen from another world, but I wanted to participate.

It isn't. We do have a little more square footage, though.

[Which only makes so much difference. Stick a bunch of people in a smaller space, that's the opposite of guaranteeing they'll all be alike.]

I like France. Spent some time there recently. Had to flee a burning building, but the food was great.

It wasn't on fire when I went in. A bunch of goons employed by this group of total assholes wanted to cover up some of what I found there, and if my partner and I died in the process, it was just a bonus.

Too bad, really. It was a nice place a few hundred years ago.

[Oh, totally charming. He doesn't doubt that Marlowe could be the perfect hostess when she wanted to be, even as she served her guests poison. Figuratively or literally.]

Centuries. Part of it dated back to the Crusades, but the rest had been built up over time. The house was pretty rotted out, but you could tell it was really something once. But I guess no one wanted to live deep in a forest in Alsace.
