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).]

[Let's avoid the complicated matters and discuss fashion like real adults.]

Oh my, what a lovely color! Perhaps you should see if you can take up dress making, hm? There are many lovely fabrics down in the sewing room...I think that's something that would be a good use of your time.

[ Totally, this is the real shit ]

You know your boy Silver tried to show me how those darned contraptions in there work, but I'm sill not sure about them. Is there even a gold old real needle and thread to be found? I've never made something as big as a dress, but the longer we're stuck here, the more that might be a sound idea.

[ She does nakedly preen at the praise for her nails though. She does keep them in great shape, it's a lot of work! They're her second charm point after her hair, in her opinion ]

[...she actually has to think about it for a moment--]

You know, I did not see a single one. What on earth was that man thinking?

Really! Not to mention that while his interior decorating sense isn't really that bad there's all sorts of little problems. Like the lighting should really be dimmer.

...We do still have to be able to see where we're going, Ms. Marker.

Though perhaps if they kept some candlelight evenly spaced out, it would offer a lovely bit of light while keeping the decor itself represented properly...

Well, if I was going to see better, we'd actually kill all the lights except candlelight. ... Well, or just keep the lights about where they're at during the night? That's not that bad.

Mmm, perhaps. Someone could easily take advantage, however.

[...hmm.]

Perhaps some sunglasses are in the machine. You could use them to assist you, if needed.

What're sunglasses? Humans use the sun to see, s wouldn't it make it better for them?

Sunglasses are for keeping the sun out of ones eyes, actually. They're glasses with darker lenses, and they could be used to keep harsh light out of ones eyes.

They make things like that? I never knew that...!

Humans make a lot of interesting things to make life more convenient.

[When they aren't doing stupid shit, at least!]

Yeah, all sorts of strange things just crop up all the time! Like one time when we were pretty new to Japan, we heard about these black ships rolling in and then suddenly everything was different in just a decade! It was wild.

[ . . . Yeah. ]
