[The man's voice, when he speaks, carries a very distinctive accent. British, maybe? In actuality, it's a ~*Ferelden*~ accent, but hey: easy mistake to make. Furthermore, it's quick and obviously rambling, as though the man is a few shades shy of shrieking screaming in a very manly way.]
No no, this can't be. It was just a pinch, it couldn't have ( Read more... )

Pretty sure the Maker's got nothing to do with this. Either that, or he has a very unexpected sense of humor.

... Waaait, this wasn't here before....
[HOW SUSPICIOUS.]

No, it wasn't. Your observation skills seem to be intact, congratulations.

[He pauses. A few seconds later, he clears his throat and addresses the book properly.]
HI.
[... Y-yes, he is ... nearly shouting. Gotta make sure the book can hear!]
Reply
No need to yell, I can hear you just fine.
At least you actually read the note, some new people don't. Not that it answers all that much. If you've got any questions, I've been here awhile. I can probably answer them.
[He'll tell him that he's not really a book. At some point.]

[L-lowers his voice again.]
Well, it was sitting right there. Bit hard not to read, right? [A pause.] Hopefully that wasn't ... invasive, or something.
[YUP. 8|;; Not awkward at all.]
Aside from the obvious question of how do you work? Knowing exactly where I am would be a nice thing.
Reply
No, not invasive at all. Like you said, it was sitting right there, waiting for you to read. I'm not sure how you'd miss it, but some people manage to.
[And, oh, great. Two questions right off the bat that Varric doesn't exactly know the answers to.]
Magic. Don't ask me what kind, I'm not a mage. Magic's not my thing. And you're in Holloway's Keep. A castle that apparently exists outside of the worlds of anyone here.
Reply
No worries. I didn't really take you for a mage.
[Because, y'know. It's a book.]
A castle outside worlds.... This couldn't be part of the Fade, could it?
Reply
Few do. But every so often I need to make the disclaimer, anyway.
Considered that. But I've been in the Fade, and it's nothing like this. Unfortunately, this place is pretty real, though it works a lot differently than back home.

[Any other questions take a backseat to:]
Who carried you?

[The things he got into when hanging around with Hawke.]

[Hey man, at least it wasn't a Sloth Demon!]

[...and his friends.]
Makes for a great story, at least.

[Oooh Connor.]
Do you have a lot of them? Stories, I mean.
Reply
[He grins at that.]
You could say that. It's something of a hobby of mine: telling stories, listening to other people tell theirs. Nothing better than a good tale and a captive audience.
Reply
[That's putting it mildly.]
That sounds like a good hobby to have. Hard to think of one more fitting, really.
[❤ (+1) Alistair approves. (Hey, everyone needs a hobby. Even a talking book.)]
