[ The feed turns on. Leliana looks closely at the notebook and waves her hand in front of the video feed. It mirrors her movements. There are other people in other windows and they are all watching her! She wonders if this is what the other side of the mirror feels like. ]

This… communication device is so interesting! Is it some sort of, um, ancient magic? I don’t know much about those, I am afraid, but it is certainly useful, no?

This place is really grand. I don’t think I have ever been anywhere like here. Not in Ferelden. Not in Orlais. Not in Orzammar. I am sure these walls and windows have a lot of stories to tell, and these grand spaces have a lot of adventure to uncover. [She giggles.] I am going to find out, soon enough.

I still can’t believe I’m here! I can’t tell if I’m dead or if I’m dreaming. I hope nobody pinches me awake soon, at least.

Oh. But I have certainly babbled enough, I think. I am Leliana! It’s a pleasure to meet all of you!

[ ooc: psst, mods, it's Leliana not Lelania in the tags. :D ]

[Oh. Oh man, is she happy to see a familiar face. Elissa is positively gleeful to see her.]

Not a dream, I promise you. It's not as a pleasant as you might think, though.

[ Look! Look, it's the boss! She hasn't seen her in a while. ]

I did not think it would be, and since you are here, then expect it would be like old times. How exciting!

Most assuredly not. There's no darkspawn, no nobles to rally to a cause, and no Archdemon to slay...yet.

[But she says it with a smile so, hey, it's all good.]

But things are cleaner here and there's plenty of trouble to get involved in, if I do say so myself. It just takes some getting used to.

Ooh. Trouble and clean boots? This might as well be a dream.

But if there are no darkspawn and no nobles, then what kind of trouble are you talking about?

The people who have brought us here wish to conscript us into their war. They send us to other points in time - if you can believe that - to carry out their missions. We're their soldiers, and little else.

There's always the chance for complications, I've heard. Somehow, people can be brought back from the dead as well.

Then I will fight. Whatever it is we're fighting for, I'm sure it's a matter of grave importance, or else the Maker wouldn't have brought us here.

Leliana, these people are the ones who brought us here. They used some sort of contraption to do so, something like the box you have. I don't know if the Maker has anything to do with this.

Perhaps... it is the Maker that led them into making the contraption? You are so skeptical!

I know he has a plan. I simply...

[She sighs, rubbing her forehead. She supposes it could be the Maker's doing. She's been reunited with so many of her friends, after all.]

...No. I suppose you're right.

Thank you.

[She nods.]

I've yet to go on one of these missions myself but...if it means getting others home, I am more than willing to fight.

[And potentially stage a coup to get people released but DETAILS.]

Will you take me with you?

[Elissa smiles, really smiles at her, for the first time in several weeks.]

I would be honored to have you at my side again.

No need to thank me.

[She shakes her head.]

How have you been? It's... Two and a half years.

Not that long for me, I'm afraid. I came from only a few months after the Blight.

I was in an expedition into the Deep Roads. I suppose, no matter how much we try to run away from it, the Blight will always be a part of us, no?
