Hello? Guys? This isn't funny, my birthday isn't for another two months. [ A sigh and she starts pacing, loudly. ]

Fenris? Isabela? [ Long pause. ] ...Anders?

Can someone tell me why I can't smell Lowtown burning anymore and when exactly did magic books become a thing? They would have been incredibly helpful six years ago.

[...well, shit.]

Why, hello Hawke. Fancy meeting you here. Of all places.

[ofkirkwall]

[ She's both ridiculous relieved and mildly concerned to hear her voice. ]

Isabela! I was wondering where you got off too, there we were having such a lovely chat in the middle of Lowtown and bam [ ...literally. ] everyone was gone. It was really quite distressing.

[checkbelowdecks]

[confused 'cause yaay different canon points]

Were we? That's not what I recall, and I'm pretty sure I'm not drunk. [maybe]

[ofkirkwall]

[ And she's got the worst of all. ]

You mean you're sober? Quick call the Cha-- [ Bad joke, worst joke. Change the subject right now. ] What do you mean that's not what you recall?

They should all be around the castle, I believe. As far as the last, it has to do with not being where-ever you expected you should be.

Welcome to Paradisa.

[ofkirkwall]

You mean I'm not in Kirkwall anymore?

[haruno]

That's right. You're probably in -- the castle proper. Cair Paradisa, Castle Paradisa. It's a structure on a world that's not really named, on a continent I think we pass off as calling "Paradisa" just to have something to call it.

This is a different world than your own, probably in a different dimension. The people experienced with different dimensions seem to believe so, at least.

[ofkirkwall]

So to get this right, I've effectively been kidnapped and brought to another... world? [ It's official, this is effectively the worst day of her life. The only upside to this mess is that she doesn't have Orsino or Meredith glaring her into trying to pick a side. ]

[ danarius will say jack shit but he will nod

to himself

and smile a little

hello, hawke ]

[ofkirkwall]

[ She'll be coming for you later.

Rawr. ]

[ratherskilled]

[ Bring it, Hawke.

Or don't. He'd settle for a don't. ]

[ofkirkwall]

[ Oh she'll bring it alright, it'll be brought with a rain of fire. ]

sobbing already .... also placeholder

[templarssuck]

[guess who sounds marginally less nutty and full of apostate rage!!!]

Hawke! I suppose it was only a matter of time before you showed up.

... What's this about Lowtown burning?

1/2 /SOBBING FOREVER

[ofkirkwall]

[ She isn't sure if she wants to slam the journal closed, be angry or be happy he's still alive. Maker it makes her head hurt. ]

[ofkirkwall]

[ He doesn't remember? How the hell doesn't he remember what he did? She doesn't want to deal with it right now it's to much, so she slaps on a half butchered grin he can't see and thanks the Maker for the book in her hands. ]

Oh you know, the usual drama. Someone got mad at someone else for stealing their spot, so they set the other person's stand on fire and started running through the streets screaming.

[templarssuck]

[yeah, he pretty much believes that LMFAO]

Merchants. They never grow up, do they?

[but there's something about her tone that ... worries him]

Are you alright?

[tomatoandbasil]

You know Isabela.

[This is important info she's latching onto here, ma'am]

You have only my deepest sympathies.

[ofkirkwall]

[ This just... makes her laugh, man Alleyne you have no idea how much she needs to laugh. Thank you. ]

[tomatoandbasil]

Something particularly funny about this, or is she just as much of a living hell for you too?

[ofkirkwall]

She's not-- [ Pfft, ahem. Stop laughing Hawke. ] She's not that bad.
