[Video/Action]
-does this do? What about this? Helllooo?
[The video feed begins with a close-up of a gauntleted thumb and then twists nauseatingly around until there's a giant eyeball... that gradually diminishes in size as its owner pulls back from the device. Once it's farther away it reveals a large man in heavy armour with a sword at his hip and a shield on his back, looking rather put out. Alistair frowns down at the thing for a moment then shrugs and begins to speak.]
I heard I can use this thing to talk to people. People far away. I don't know if I believe it, I've never heard of magic like that. But this way it doesn't look like I'm crazy and talking to myself. Maybe.
I don't talk to myself normally of course. That would be crazy. But I do talk to myself - and little... boxes - when I get lost and wind up in a strange place I've never seen before. Especially when I'm supposed to be somewhere else doing something important. Then I might talk to myself.
[But only because he hasn't found anyone else to talk to yet and he's still trying to figure out what's going on. He isn't buying anything he's heard so far so he's reduced to thinking out loud at a little box.]
Well, I think I know what's going on here. This is the Fade, is it? I'm stuck in the Fade again.
What do you think box? Am I right? [His voice turns high pitched and squeaky and the video judders about as the device is waggled back and forth.] 'I think you are Alistair, you handsome fiend you, you must be in the Fade! Now we just have to go find the eeevil demon that trapped us here and make it let you go!'
[And back to a normal voice, the video steadying again.] I'm glad you agree and I am looking rather handsome today, aren't I? Now, let's go find that demon!
[And, companion... box in hand - and still broadcasting - he strides boldly off in search of something that looks like a demon, keeping up a running commentary until someone decides to interrupt him.]

[It wouldn't be very assassin-like if she did.]
But I'm not an assassin anymore. At least, I left that life behind me.
no subject
[It could happen. Maybe that's how everyone stops being an assassin. Given how proud she seems of her reputation he's not feeling like she would have quit because she decided murdering people was bad.]
no subject
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Except it wasn't one person I was supposed to kill. My... Thanos, the one who ruled me, ordered me to help another destroy an entire planet.
I had killed many people for him since I was a child, but... I guess even I had limits.
no subject
[So that is the only way to stop being an assassin? Weird. Also slightly unnerving because murdering people for political reasons or whatever is one thing but killing the whole world? That a whole other level of bad.]
Well I'm glad to hear that. I'd be worried if anyone was OK with that kind of thing... You stopped him from doing it right? From killing all those people?
no subject
Yes, he was stopped, but that doesn't mean he won't try again.
[Thanos wants domination of the universe. It's not likely his planet destroying days are over.]
no subject
Seriously? Who wakes up one morning and decides they want to kill everyone? [Besides darkspawn but they were monsters and born with the desire to destroy the surface world so don't count either. A person deciding to do that was just crazy.] I guess you couldn't just assassinate him then?
[If she managed to stop him in the first place and all...]
no subject
[As for killing him...]
Were I capable of it, I would, but he's far too powerful.
no subject
Are you sure you're not crazy? [Because that is a crazy, crazy story and it seems more likely that she's making it up than someone else actually being that crazily insane.]
no subject
I may be, but nothing I've said is a lie.
no subject
[But assassin and green and crazy so what does he expect?]
no subject
[Because she would actually find that to be less likely.]
no subject
[Yes. That's him. The most together person ever seen. Uh huh.]
no subject
Clearly.
