[Don’t adjust your tint. The woman is green, not your screen. Gamora, a very unique looking woman unless one’s used to seeing someone with her particular shade of skin, looks into the video feed uncertainly but also with a note of defiance. She will not be intimidated by this… peculiar prison so easily. Sure, it may appear to be a comfortable mansion, but a place she is brought against her will is a prison no matter what it looks like.]

My name is Gamora. It looks like we are all prisoners here. I have no quarrel with you, but should you cross me, I will not hesitate to deal with you in ways you won’t enjoy. Let’s make that clear from the start.

[She is a captive, right? And she doesn’t know if the people here are hostile or not. She’s not about to let this turn into her last prison visit.]

This is not the first time I’ve been in a prison, though this one doesn’t look like the typical style I’m used to seeing. It’s far too… well, it doesn’t matter if it’s reasonably comfortable or not.

[The less sense it all makes the more irritated she gets.]

Who is in charge here? I demand to know why I've been brought here and where my crew is.

[Whoever is in charge is probably going to get punched or worse.]

However difficult it may or may not be, the fact remains that it's inconvenient at best.

[Which is, he realizes, putting it very mildly.]

A criminal? Me? Do you think I look the part? I always considered myself to be dashing rather than villainous.

[deadlystar]

Some criminals might be called dashing.

[She wouldn't call any that, but some might.]

You're quite right-- and I daresay I'm charming enough to pull off any number of evil schemes, but no, I'm afraid not. I'm no criminal.

[Though some might say being from Tevinter in itself is a crime.]

Simply a mage. Well, no, not simply. A rather brilliant mage, if I do say so myself.

[And he does.]

[deadlystar]

Then maybe this isn't a prison. Not one for criminals, at least. There must be a reason why we're here.

[magisterium]

There seem to be several theories about that circulating, as well.

[He doubts he's heard them all.]

I've heard one that suggests the magic from this place feeds off of us-- our memories.

[Video]

[deadlystar]

So we're being used to feed some magical being?

[Now that she might be willing to buy. Otherwise why else would they be stuck here?]

Well, when I kill it, we can all return home.

[Video]

[magisterium]

Entirely possible, even if that being turns out to be Wonderland itself.

[The details remain fuzzy, but he finds that story believable enough, given the nature of magic.]

Kill it? I'm certain you'll have plenty of allies on that front, but dealing with magic isn't always so straightforward.

[Video]

[deadlystar]

We won't know until we try.

[Try to kill it one way and if that doesn't work, find another way.]

[Video]

[magisterium]

Fair enough. I can hardly hold anyone's trying against them.

[It's better than doing nothing.]
