And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you.

[This week, Varric opted to take a page from Vanille’s book. Gathering everyone together after the roller-coaster that the first trial had been proved to be somewhat cathartic for himself. He hoped that it would prove to do the same for the others.]

[He wasn’t alone, of course, having found himself blessed with the most ragtag team of chefs and party-planners. He might have had words for and thoughts on Elda and Kimbley, Mikazuki was welcome company, and he wasn’t about to turn away potential allies, even in a fight as simple as cooking dinner.]

[Once everyone’s set to a task, baking a cake, brewing tea, or stirring stew (the only task Varric could think to assign Elda to), Varric excused himself to his room. His first task was writing up cards, each personally titled and signed by Varric.]


Food in the Library. 5 p.m. Don’t spend the night alone.


[Each note was slid under a door and accompanied by a single rap on the wood.]

[With his tasks completed, Varric returned to the kitchen to put out any potential fires and, with luck, set the food out. A table in the library would be adorned with plenty of tea, cake, pancakes courtesy of Viktor, and stew thanks mostly to Varric (sorry, Elda).]

[She can't bring herself to return the hug. In his arms, she shakily whispers:]

I slaughtered them all.

God, then we agree.

[ And she yanks up with the offered hand, getting the other woman to her feet and maybe even catching her??? or something. either way, she... ]

Do demons get colds, by the way? If they do, I should probably warm you up.

...I just wanted her to know that she doesn't have to be alone. That's all.

[God damn, he lectures Gold all the time, and then he has the big moments...]

There's no one I would. [ ...She has people she'd consider friends or at least friendly with, and they still wouldn't hear about this.

It's more than being blackmailed. Elda's a lot to handle, but she's also obviously not as tough as she tries to be. ...That's all. ]
You can stay in here as long as you need to.
matchbreaker: (Hyaaaa)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-05 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Elda nods, and starts yanking out duct tape as best one can while one-handed and dragging someone ]

See? That's not a bad one. I wouldn't even mind saying that she got to see her family from down in hell, knowing she tried.
uncouthhatcher: (not like you can do much kiddo)

[personal profile] uncouthhatcher 2017-02-05 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Remember how long it took you to accept that?

[He'll definitely stay with her as long as she needs to cry, and at some point he'll start rubbing her back too. Until she's good.

Take your time, Hanyuu. Gold's not going anywhere.]

[ She... ]

I would.

[ She... ]

If things are better for me and my family, I will.

[ She... ]

But I'll try not to.
feistytrader: (okay then)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2017-02-05 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
...That's different. You were an annoying jerk who kept getting in my way.

[ Poker... ]

Sure. And... [ ....... ] A little. Varric insisted on giving me some stew when I was still with everyone else.

[ So, you know. ]

[ She will.

... She'll also curl up on Chiyuki's bed, sort of cross-legged as she does. And she'll sit there in silence for a while, nodding her thanks to the woman. But after a whole of observing her... ]


So why are you drinking alone?

That's all I would ever ask of you. All anybody can do is try.

Alani left me a letter. [ ...she'll reach for it on the desk, playing with the edge of it. ] She asked that I pour one out for her.

...I'll probably do it properly if we find one. [ Or if they're rewarded one, however this works. ] But for now, this'll do.

[Whoa! Alright, Elda is stronger than anticipated, that's actually really appreciated, she doesn't have to like, slip and slide around on the floor.]

We... ...I don't know, I've never been in the position to. [She's always had some kind of technology to keep her healthy when she was physical??]

Could try asking Wordsmith for it, he does "provide for our needs," right?

[ Is it awkward to just be standing, she's pretty used to it herself— ]

It's nothing. [ She's leaning back on her door and... pull the letter out from her arm now, studying it before she opens it.

Her gaze lifts from it before it hits the first line though, curious. ]
Who else did she leave them for?
uncouthhatcher: (you're such a sweetheart)

[personal profile] uncouthhatcher 2017-02-05 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He's pinching Silver's cheek.]

And what the hell do you think she thinks of you? You're just some smartmouthin' brat, the hell do you know about her? Just keep it up and she won't realize how used to you she's gotten 'til it's too late.
matchbreaker: (Cute tbh)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-05 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hmmm....

Hmmm.

She wanted to talk to her in private, and Hanyuu is a Japanese name, and she wears those weird scraps of fabric Japanese clothes, and Japanese people... ]


You're used to bathing with other people, right? Come on, I'll even wash your hair nice and properly.

[ LOGIC???? ]

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-05 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Something in her expression twitches, and she stops playing with the letter. ]

...I don't think a "bar" falls under that, Elda.

[ Also, the Wordsmith's kind of terrible at conversation and communication; she hasn't had a very good time with him the few times she's tried. ]

Tell that to all the middle aged men running out on their wives.

[ HEH HEH HEH.

Fond memories. ]


Well, he's been sweet on me [ No he hadn't ] want me to try?
feistytrader: (you're smothering me)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2017-02-05 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[...You know, he's probably right, and that's really annoying.]

I'm pretty sure you're the smartmouth brat between the two of us.
matchbreaker: (tbh im not sure if the above is better)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-05 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh... she. ]

... Don't talk about any of this with people. No one needs to hear it.
uncouthhatcher: (don't worry dude got it covered)

[personal profile] uncouthhatcher 2017-02-05 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, but she wasn't talkin' to both of us. Just you.

[Which makes Silver the smartmouth brat right now. Ha.]

...Alani and Christo. Those people have names, Ms. Marker.

[If it were Gangrel or someone else, she wouldn't have given a damn. But as it stands...]

We would have looked away from you as the suspect in due time. Say what you will about these people, but they have done fairly well in sussing out the culprits of these crimes.

[...]

And for whatever it's worth from me, I didn't think you could have done it. You don't wear white.
stepout: (14. quadruple lutz)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-05 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Neither do I. [ ...It spells trouble, and it's not right. It's a lot of things, honestly. ] We'll see soon enough, I guess.

[ unfortunately. ]
