[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.

The circumstances are... very peculiar, yes, but it's an honor all the same.
...Ah. [sob she kind of wishes she could have been alone here. oh well.] Well, better them than darkspawn.
[video]
I suppose so. As of now, I have yet to see any darkspawn so I believe you're in luck.
[she notes the disappointment]
Hoping for some other news?
[video]
I'll take that silver lining.
...Ah, not - not really. Although... [She hesitates, for just a moment.] Have you heard of a man by the name of Garrett being here? Garrett Hawke. My brother.
[video]
there's a frown and a shake of the head.]
There's the possibility that he arrived while I had been...away. But as far as I know, no such name has come up.
[video]
Ah, even so, that is.. a relief. I would hate for him to be taken to this place, too.
[video]
It's all very muddled and confusing, so honestly, you should be pleased your brother is not here.
[BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW that he'll show up eventually or something what it's not like i can predict the future.]
[video]
Mm, he has far more important things to worry about, back in Kirkwall. I do hope he won't be interrupted.
[getting kind of passive aggressive there, Beth. and no why would big brother show up anytime soon that would just be silly.]
