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).]

It...does. [HUH.] Well...I know when I first... [she shakes her head.] Mm, even now, how I'm here is strange and confusing, let alone being entirely physical...so I can imagine that's weighing on you too.

Were...were you a spirit? [Like her.]

[ ...um. ]

Not exactly. [ ...She isn't really sure how to explain it. ] When people die, they go to... I guess you'd consider it limbo. They play a game that judges their character, and then they move on to wherever it is they're going to go. While they're there, they have [ definitely not real, apparently ] bodies, so they're not just souls floating around or anything.

O-oh. [Well, that's...more than a little surprising, especially to someone who's already died before.] I've...never heard of such a thing before, honestly. Aah... So...you were there to be...judged?

[That sounds...a little uncomfortable, really.]

...I guess so. Everyone is, aside from the arbiters—they do they judging. I'm an assistant right now though, so... [ ... ] I don't know for sure.

Oh... Hm, I...don't know about the process, but...could one of them- these arbiters, taken a liking to you?

[ ...an arbiter, taking a liking to her... ]

...Decim and I get along. He's the one I work with. [ Taking a liking to them? ] But arbiters are meant to judge; I don't think he'd let that get in the way of his job.
oyashiromama: (so get up‚ shake the rust)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-02-09 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... Then I really am not sure. I'm sorry, this is something that...in all the legends I recall from my people, none resembled anything like this.

...It's okay, I'm not sure it has a place anywhere. As far as I know, there's no God or anything like that at all.

[ She's never met him and they never talk about him, so. ]

Don't worry too much about it, okay? [ ...she is aware her circumstances are a little distressing and that "not worrying" about it is probably going to be hard, but— ] I can handle it.

Mm... [She's not...entirely convinced, but she nods.] I'll...try my best not to. I can't promise I won't, but... I know you're a responsible person.
