heaven, a gateway, a hope

WHO: Grey Wardens & You
WHAT: A daring and not at all ragtag group of Grey Wardens has walked all the way across Orlais to inform the Inquisition--just in case it hadn't already realized on its own--that everything is terrible.
WHEN: Harvestmere 22
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: This post has: (1) A single group "we just got here, we're freezing, who is in charge, what do you mean you haven't decided yet" starter that we'd like to keep to one chronological thread. (2) Open starters for individual Wardens set later in the day/week.


OOC Note: Regarding the first starter--threadjack away! Anyone is welcome to wander onto the scene to see what's going on and wander back out at their leisure, to fall silent for a while, etc. No tagging order. But let slower taggers get a word in edgewise!

amygdalae: this is really not English (complicated explanation time)

Aren't we all?

[Scraggly and pathetic, he means. Regardless of who they are or what they are, they're all here because they can't be alone - not in the usual sense. The Breach and now Corypehus threatened all of Thedas. No amount of running or being valiant was going to help them. The only hope they had of accomplishing anything at all was working together.

Doesn't make dealing with anything easier, though.

Bruce bites down a sigh and glances briefly at the sky again, towards the mountains in the distance. Had he trekked across here before, when he was running away? Perhaps. He had been to so many places now sometimes it all seemed to blend together.]


I do my best to help out as a surgeon. [He says eventually.] There's already enough people who need help just within these walls.

[So many hurt, injured and dying. The work never truly ends, not really.]
amygdalae: the world is not a nice place (if only things are that simple)

i just literally imagined a cutscene just for the +5 to happen on screen

[Bruce lets out a small laugh.] I think we've all had enough popularity going on for a while.

[Especially if this popularity brings dragons and darkspawn to their doorstep. They certainly could do with less of that.]
amygdalae: what do you mean we can't have blueberries (could you say that again)

I'm not one for being famous myself, personally.

[Because in a way he already is, and Bruce would very much rather not. He very much prefers sticking below and be unknown to everyone else. And of course, everyone is kind of done with Blights and demons and all that fun stuff, especially after this.]
amygdalae: you won't like the alternative (let's just do this the easy way)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-11-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Despite himself Bruce lets out a small little snort at the words, in a way kind of understanding where the other is getting at. Even if Bruce's own brand of 'famous' is more of 'infamous'.]

I, ah--Bruce. [He gives a pause.] And you need to do that on my account.

[He's perfectly fine not needing to have anybody write songs about him.]
amygdalae: but that plane is really not Starscream (yes I just said that)

I'm not too sure how I'll feel about being rhymed with 'loose'.

[Because a loose man he is not. He is also not any of the other words that has just been said.]

But there's nothing about me being worth immortalized in verse. I'm perfectly fine in not being known through a bard's song.
