[It was something he would never admit, but Cailan didn't know most of the weapons that they were allowed to choose from. Something called a gun? Another one called a machine gun? Even the explanation of what they were was unsatisfactory, but there was a large group of weapons that he knew.

And finding his father's blade helped narrow the field down considerably. What he didn't know was what he was supposed to do now. They said they would send him on missions, but he wouldn't get to plan them. He couldn't go home, even though there was long awaited glory waiting back home, and his kingdom needed him.

Plus he had no idea what to do with this little book thing. What was he supposed to do, look at it? Read it, in some way, or communicate with others like he was told? This would all be exciting if he knew what was going on. Well. It was pretty exciting, anyway. Being sent to the bank, he was in full armor, tapping at the screen of the "book" and ignoring the stares of people walking by, most of whom were going on the other side of the street.]

Hello? This is King Cailan Theirin of Ferelden, I require information. [He keeps tapping at the screen.] I admit, I'm more used to books back home being less complex then this.

[He gives a roguish grin, something he isn’t even sure if anyone can see.]

Is someone there? There will be quite a bit of gold involved if anyone is able to help me understand this thing, I can assure you of that. I’m a king, after all, I’m sure I can afford a bit of help, even in... such a strange place as this!

[She'd heard about the dead coming back to life but this... This is too much. She contemplates calling Alistair first to warn him, to make certain he knows just who's showed up, but she realizes he'll probably find out soon enough.

Instead, she addresses the man in gold plate with concern and wariness.]

King Cailan?

[Alistair's face for a moment? It's pretty much like this for a split second before he tries to cover it with a raise of his eyebrow and an awkward cough.]

The Ferelden treasury may not be as accessible as you might like, my liege.

[AND A DAY AGO SHE WAS SAYING THAT ELISSA'S ANTIVAN "FRIEND" WOULD BE NEXT. IN FACT she would have preferred that.

NOPE.

NOPE.

but that's his face and that's his smile and it's not some other man walking around looking like him. and it's just...painful to look at the feed.

she composes herself before turning on her own video to respond.]

I am afraid you do not have access to whatever sum of coin you had been planning on giving.

I do wish that they would hand out the tools to teach people how to use the netbooks.

[Not who he was expecting! Not at all, though, then again, he wasn't expecting anyone he knew to actually be here. Seeing some known faces would be a help to him, even if his face would be more of a detriment to the others.

How was he supposed to know that, though? He's just cheerful, despite being in a confusing place. A king wasn't supposed to act confused around his subjects.]

Ah, my Lady Cousland! I didn't expect to see you here. [Aw yeah one Grey Warden spotted.]

[What, surprised to see him? He's going to start thinking that there's something on his face.]

The Ferelden treasury is accessible anywhere. [Maker, but you should know this, not!brother.]

I didn't expect to see you here! [But. Aw yeah second Grey Warden spotted.]

I can honestly say the same, Your Majesty.

[She swallows back anything she could say about him, about what's happened. He doesn't need to know. Shouldn't know. She puts a mask of neutrality on, nodding.]

I'm afraid it's dangerous for you to be offering coin to people around here. You don't have access to your funds here, either. It's a little difficult to explain.

I'm afraid not.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose, because oh is this hurting his head already.]

This place isn't exactly -- in Thedas. Exactly.

[But is he not better then an Antivan, dear darling wife? You almost look upset to see him. How long have they known each other, that he can tell when she's trying to hide what she feels? Maybe not fully, but he is more observant then he lets on.

Observant and happy to see her, though!]

Anora! What are you doing here, shouldn't you be back home? [Mostly because who is ruling the kingdom in their stead?]

I didn't think I would see you so soon! [Biggest grin on his face.]

[He'll agree with that one, actually.] A guide to show the basics, perhaps? It seems a little irresponsible, to just give them and not tell us what to do with them.

[IT'S HIS ENTHUSIASM THAT HURTS THE MOST.

She's good at keeping composure. It was something had trained herself to do when her mother lay sick and dying. But something like this...wasn't exactly something she ever expected.

It was different when Elissa showed up. This was entirely more personal.]

I...had not expected to see you, either, Cailan.

[She clears her throat.]

I am here for the same reason everyone else is here. And I...have been here for awhile, believe it or not.

[Giving a small tilt of his head, there was a quizzical look on his face. Why is everyone acting so weird around him?]

Access to the Ferelden treasury is everywhere. [No, really, everywhere. Instead, he'll just stand there patiently. Waiting for that explanation.]

[He gestured to the world around him.] Clearly not. Where are we, then? The woman I talked to did not give enough information before letting me loose.

It's place called the United Earth.

Aside from the lack of native demons and darkspawn, it seems to have the same sort of people.

[With a boatload more technology, of course.]

We are in another time, Your Majesty, and in another world. I know that may seem farfetched and believe me, I would normally think so as well, but it is very true.

[Her tone strengthens, taking on that of a commander talking to a king.]

You will find many people here from different times and worlds as well. We have no way of going home yet; your access to the treasury is a thing of the past. For this, I'm sorry.

[While Cailan was used to Anora being so serious (moreso then him, anyway), she seemed too serious right now. His enthusiasm and excitement dips for the briefest of moments before coming back in full force.]

Don't be such a tease, Anora. I've only been gone a month, I would have heard if you were taken.

Yes well, the way time works here...it is different.

I have been here for about half a year now, and you will find that some people here are from a future of some sort. It is difficult to explain, I honestly wish I had a straight answer to give you.

[ Watching the threads above her intently. ]

Your Majesty. May I say it is an honor to meet you.

They probably never thought that some people will come with no idea of what a netbook was.

Seems very farfetched, more like it. [Here he had been holding out, just a little, for this to all be some kind of pre-battle dream. This breaks it. Just a little. But he does wilt a little bit, some enthusiasm lessening, until he smiles and brings it back full force.]

I suppose it's good that they can't start the battle without me! Looks like we both haven't missed our chance.

I suppose it must be true, no one would come up with such a dull name for such an interesting place.

[United Earth. Well. Hm.]

...But no darkspawn. [Oh man that's terrible news. Wait, no, not terrible. Good news! Kind of a letdown, though.]

Gold? Well, now you speak my language your majesty.

[He's far from the first royalty she's met, but they always do give the most exciting quests.]

Think of this device as a enchanted mirror. Instead of showing your reflection, it shows you the image of someone gazing into the matching mirror wherever it may be.

[Ahaha what. Has someone been dipping into the wine while he's been gone? This makes no sense whatsoever.]

...Are you sure you've been counting the days correctly? Anora, if you were here for months, then you must have been taken after me, even though--

[Oh wait.] How... does time work, here?

[no she is completely sober dear husband

but she could use a drink right about now.]

It is not exactly linear, and supposedly time comes to a halt when we are taken. There are those from the future who took no notice of mine and A--[CUTTING HERSELF OFF AND BACKTRACKING UH] of my disappearance, so I am lead to believe this is true.

[she's frowning now, looking at him quizzically. there is a reality where Elissa lives, so perhaps...there's one where he...]

Might I ask as to what you were doing before you arrived?

[King? Gold? Now those are the kind of words Chloe likes to hear over the network. One enthusiastic treasure hunter, at your service.]

Books are also less likely to cause you half as much trouble, though the company's not nearly as nice.
