[The video feed clicks on, showing a pretty young lady wearing blue and silver armor. One might notice dark circles under her eyes, making her look as though she hasn't had a good night's sleep in weeks. She doesn't acknowledge the netbook right away, instead staring down at the staff in her lap, eyebrows knitted together in thought.

After a moment, she finally looks up, addressing the camera, and rolls her eyes irritably.]

No one ever wants a mage around, I've noticed, unless they think we can be useful for something. And it's always something. First darkspawn, and now I'm fighting a blighted war for some strangers.

I think I'd rather the war, though, so I'll play along. Speaking of which - there are other Grey Wardens here. Or perhaps I still have to deal with darkspawn, but I'm trying to stay optimistic. So, if I may ask who's out there... Stroud? Anyone else from Vigil's Keep?

[She moves to reach for the 'off' button, but freezes. It wouldn't hurt to introduce herself to everyone else here, instead of being such an angry jerk all the time, she realizes. SIGH, her life is so hard. B(]

Ah, and - my name is Bethany Hawke. If I didn't just make it completely obvious, I'm one of your newest "transports." [She bows her head politely.] A pleasure, I'm sure.

[You must be a new recruit since you're whining so much...]

Fiona of the Greys of Orlais.

I take it you're also a Warden of Ferelden?

[Voice]

[Hey, it's been three years, she's no recruit by now. :V]

I am, indeed. I was meant to travel to Ansburg before... this happened, however. [SHRUG. Oh well.] Well met, Fiona.

[Voice]

[WELP.]

I was on my way to Weisshaupt. [Snort] Seems they like to take people during their travel plans.

And same to you.

[Voice]

[passive]

Indeed... I was looking forward to the change of scenery, though, so I suppose this will do.

Have you been in this place very long?

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

Well that's optimistic of you.

Over two months too long. Some have been here longer. Many of the other Wardens included. Time here doesn't exactly work like it should, to put it lightly.

[Voice]

[passive]

I try.

There are a lot of us from Thedas here, I've noticed. [a beat] I've heard about the time traveling business, but what do you mean...?

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

There are plenty of others as well. But when you bring up something like Grey Wardens and darkspawn, it's bound to attract everyone from Thedas.

[A short pause]

The time traveling is true enough but, not everyone is from the same time. Last I checked the year in Thedas was 9:10 Dragon. But I'm assuming that's not the same case for you since the Wardens of Ferelden were only just appointed a Commander and Second.

[Voice]

[passive]

Mm, I wanted to see if there were any familiar faces here... and lucky me, I found quite a few.

[And a pause of her own. Don't mind Bethany, she has to sit and gape for a second.]

...Did you say 9:10? Maker's breath, it was 9:34 when I left.

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

I'm glad to hear it worked.

[Sigh.]

Yes, well. Just keep it in mind, I suppose. And don't worry the others were eager to give me a history lesson.
