[Elliot seems annoyed. This really isn't surprising for anyone that knows him.

Those people are probably also not shocked that he seems to have forgotten the thing he read about filtering this to specific people.

Or the fact that a kitten has walked along the edge of the furniture behind him and is curiously staring over his shoulder.

Nope, he's got too much on his mind for any of that!]

OZ VESSALIUS? WHERE ARE YOU?!

[Someone is apparently on a spamming spree on the network today it seems. At first he sounds same as always, cheerful and loud. He grins over the device.]

Hey Lucy! You're not answering on your communicator. I sent you a message this morning. We were going to go train again now that you're feeling better.

In any case I'm thinking if I do it like this I'll definitely get your attention.

[Not caring how it looks nope.]

Anyways get back to me okay?

[Several hours later another public call but this one is a little more reserved. That smile of his isn't so bright anymore.]


Hey Lucy? Are you upset about the stuff I told that woman the other day?

[After all she did give him the evil eye so he surely did SOMETHING wrong.]

I guess you are. At least reply and yell at me for it.

[His brows furrow and he lets out a frustrated growl before turning off again.]

[The next call comes only an hour later and by now it's obvious he's getting a very bad feeling.]



Okay Lucy this isn't funny. If you're angry with me just say so.

[He's growing more and more frustrated but anything else isn't shown as the feed cuts out. Just what on earth is going on?]


[The next call shows Natsu in Lucy's room just standing there and looking at her empty bedroom.]



Lucy?



[That single word is more poignant than any rant he might have gone on. Her scent is still there but it's not as strong. He knows. Now he knows why she didn't answer. She's gone. The feed cuts out with Natsu walking towards her bed.]

[Ah Alistair. He comes from a place where technology is non-existent. Still, he tries. Because he's so intrigued by this magical device that can apparently allow him to communicate with others.]

Hello, is this working? HELLO! Hmm.

ADafddffsgsfg. dfa d sfss

Ah! Here it is, no wait I'm sure I can...

[And then finally after all the random button pressing, his face appears on the screen.]

Hello! Is this on? It looks like it's on. [he gives a wave, hoping he's not waving to no one and the video function is actually working as it should]

Maker, this thing is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. How does it even work?

[Anyone who gets motion sickness from a moving camera might want to stop looking as he moves the device around; flipping it to check the back; turning it upside down then turning it back the right way up. He doesn't realize and just carries on.]

Um right well, enough of that. I should introduce myself. My name is Alistair, from Ferelden. I'm a little confused about why I'm here. I was given all the details when I arrived, but I have a very important mission to take care of. I have no doubt Am- the Warden can continue without me, but there was something that I personally needed to take care of. [not that he'd made a decision about becoming King or anything] I don't suppose there's a get-out-clause where I can just pop off back home? Maybe if I agree to come back later?

No?
