First Song: This is not where I fell asleep last night.

[bard_of_orlais]

[Leliana wakes up in an unfamiliar bed wearing strange nightclothes. She sits up and looks around, recognizing exactly nothing that is in the room with her. Sun shines in from the window and a few birds are singing outside, but those two things seem to be the only things that tie back to any sort of reality that she's familiar with

[suddenly, a crash in the kitchen]

[bard_of_orlais]

[That doesn't sound good!

Leliana goes to investigate.]

[lasersallover]

[Your new daughter is digging in the top cabinet and there are pans all over the floor]

[bard_of_orlais]

[Um. Okay.

Leliana approaches slowly and tries to see past the girl and into the cabinet itself.] What is it you hope to find in there?

[lasersallover]

[muffled]

A magic artifact!

[bard_of_orlais]

What sort of magic artifact?

[Leliana isn't entirely sure if she should be curious or wary. This is a lot to take in at once.]

[lasersallover]

A weapon, maybe.

[bard_of_orlais]

[A weapon?! And, of course, Leliana herself is completely unarmed. Wonderful.

Keep talking. Hopefully the girl is a fellow captive who wishes to use said weapon against their captors (and not against her).

For what purpose?

[lasersallover]

To sell, of course!

[jumping out and landing on the ground with a THUNK]

Yo!

[bard_of_orlais]

[That... kind of makes sense. The party would often sell extra equipment to make money, after all.]

Hello. My name is Leliana. And you are?

[lasersallover]

Marisa Kirisame, Witch of Love!

[bard_of_orlais]

Witch of Love?

[Leliana only knows of one other person who refers to herself as "witch," and she's a bitchface. Needless to say, she's a little wary.]

And what is a Witch of Love, exactly?

[lasersallover]

Nothing special. Just an ordinary witch.

[bard_of_orlais]

Did you pass your apprenticeship at the Circle, then? I've never heard of a mage refer to herself as a 'witch' before, save one very extreme exception...

[lasersallover]

Don't know what that is. I taught myself everything I know!

[bard_of_orlais]

[Cue disapproving look from not!mommy.]

You taught yourself everything you know? That's dangerous! Do you know what mages who aren't properly trained are capable of doing?
