w0, post trial sat

[nonmagicuser]

[ whoo boy!!! that sure was a day!! you can find hawke somewhere out and about trying to decompress after all that ruckus and simply walking laps because he's got too much adrenaline.

he will, at least, give eupha a polite nod when he comes by her and smiles tiredly ]

Doing alright after all that?

[trifocal]

Yes... all things considered.

[ she does look pretty bummed out, though. ]

It is a lot to take in, though, isn't it...

[nonmagicuser]

It hasn't been the easiest thing to understand. The why's particularly. Doubt anyone would blame you if it took a few days to digest.

[trifocal]

[ nodding! ] I cannot understand why that man killed Charlie... nor why we needed to sentence him with such haste.

[nonmagicuser]

Seems like there's more going on than just a bit of murder among our midst. [ shit doesn't turbo speed like this unless you're trying to shove it under the rug ]

We're going to have to keep our eyes [ ... DOESN'T LOOK AT HER- ] peeled just in case.

[trifocal]

[ problematic. ]

I suppose that is wise. It's... a very peculiar set of protocols, for such a situation. It almost seems to lend itself to even more tragedy than what's already occurred.

Week 1, Monday

[trifocal]

[ Eupha can be found looking around the village in the evening, when the skeletons are all set out! She looks a little perturbed... ]

Is this... how the people here inter their dead?

[nonmagicuser]

[ sweet eupha free me from the sheer amount of sin happening out there in the wild. ]

It may be. We have a holiday for something similar. ...Though it's usually for the little ones to dress up and parade around rather than putting out decorations like so.

[trifocal]

It looks like an outdoor mausoleum... You say little ones are paraded around here?

[ ???? ]

[nonmagicuser]

[ chortles ]

Not quite. All's Saints Day is meant to celebrate those departed and people get dressed up to parade around as spirits. These spirits, however, seem to be a bit more stationary although they still seem to have the same amount of sweets floating around.

[trifocal]

[ her eyes get so wide. ]

This is... a Saint's Day tradition?

It is very unlike the Saint's Day that I am familiar with...

[nonmagicuser]

Here's to it being an entire fluke and it's just all peaceful from here out.

[ MANIFESTING!!!!!!! ]

[nonmagicuser]

Bit unique, isn't it? [ goes off to trick or treat a skeleton and returns with candy for her ]

I can't say I mind it too much, however.

[trifocal]

[ watches him do that like !!!!

... just has this candy in her hand now... ]

It gave you confections?

[nonmagicuser]

Fascinating, isn't it? I've never seen anything quite like that. Bloody useful, that's for sure.

[ imagine, candy whenever you want from a skelly buddy... ]

[trifocal]

I would not think necromancy is necessary for such a purpose...

[nonmagicuser]

But it'd be funny!

[ is that his criteria?? .....maybe so ]

[trifocal]

I fear it would be an easy way to get cursed by a resentful spirit...

[nonmagicuser]

[ laughs in demons ]

Far too true, unfortunately. I've got a good head for magic but even necromancy is one I find too unsettling to try.




[ but if he could animate chickens though.............. ]

[trifocal]

You wield magic?

Week 1, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ eupha will show up at the belltower! ]

I hope that you don't mind visitors. Is there anything you need?

[ how's he looking. ]

[nonmagicuser]

[ hey, hi. hawke looks tired though it's hard to say if it's from the late hours or just the constant influx of people in and out of his cozy lil prison ]

Outside of maybe a blanket or two, I'm as snug as a nug in here.

[trifocal]

The mansion is not far from here. If you do not mind waiting, I will bring you a blanket.

[ she says, like he has anything else to do up here. ]

[nonmagicuser]

I'll be here!

[ he says, like he has anywhere else to be. pay no mind he's sipping on what appears to be wine while he says this ]

[trifocal]

[ she will vanish!

... and will return in a few minutes with a blanket from the mansion. she slips it through the bars. ]

Here.

[nonmagicuser]

[ immediately wraps it around him like a cape ]

You're a saint. Armor is bloody useful but it's useless for keeping the chill out.

[trifocal]

It is the least I could do.

[ ... ]

I wonder if... you might also be willing to tell me about what happened that night?

[nonmagicuser]

[ ughs his way under his blanket cape ]

I suppose one more time wouldn't hurt.

[trifocal]

I apologize. This must be a long evening for you...

Would you tell me how it began?

[nonmagicuser]

Not to worry, I've been well compensated.

[ lifts up his wine ]

I can't say it's too much of an interesting story, unfortunately. I woke up and had the need to prove myself. Adolphe just happened to be the unlucky sod I came across.

[trifocal]

To... prove yourself? To who? And for what?

[nonmagicuser]

[ laughs in backtag ]

Just a bit. Nothing too fancy, mind.

[trifocal]

Where I am from, any magic that is performed without use of a relic or igniter is considered quite "fancy."

[nonmagicuser]

[ his eyes are full of mischief ]

Who says I am without?

[trifocal]

[ looks him up and down like

where??? ]

[nonmagicuser]

[ tilts his head at what he's got attached to his back and him raises a finger in shh ]

Bit subtle, isn't it?

[ because somehow no one can ever tell the orbed staff with a wholeass sword attached is a extra large wizard stick ]

[trifocal]

Oh! That is how you use magic, then? Most mages wear igniters on their bodies, and use a staff only to channel and focus the energy. At least, from what I have heard...

[nonmagicuser]

Truly? My, magic seems to work in fascinating ways outside Thedas. Alas, we've just got the staves and staffs to focus our mana through.

[ but then there's the whole blood thing but shhhh we won't talk about that one ]

[trifocal]

Oh... I see!

There are many other kinds of magic, too, though some are unknown to much of the world.

[nonmagicuser]

So I've begun to see. Truly, had we all the time, I'd try and learn a few other types of magic and the like.

[trifocal]

You should see what my brother can do. He can change the weather itself!

Oh, but I don't think that can be learned...

[nonmagicuser]

[ terrible how delighted he looks ]

I've always wanted to learn how to do localized snow storms. Ice isn't as easy for me as fire but surely something about combining that with air would create a close enough effect-


[ assigns hawke giant fucking nerd ]

[trifocal]

Snow storms? That would be amazing...

Usually he just makes it nicer for sailing. We've never tried anything like that...

[nonmagicuser]

A valid use of wind, if I say so myself.

A friend of mine, Isabela, was almost ready to strongarm me onto her crew when she realized I could nudge the waters calmer. Not well mind you, but enough that she could make use of it.
