Video

[ For a few moments, all that’s visible in the slightly shaky view is an exciting expanse of bland-colored carpet. A light scratching sound is audible in time with the tilting of the image, as though the material that covers the device is moving against something unyielding and metallic. To someone who’s seen this sort of thing before, it’s indicative of someone examining the device.

A moment later, the image blurs and the boring carpet is replaced by large green eyes, shaggy white hair, thick black eyebrows, a scowling mouth, and a chin marred by white lines. ]


Hn. [ It’s a derisive snort, though the word that follows is even more so, heavily laden with disgust. ] Magic.

[ The image spins again, resolving a few dizzying seconds later to a crooked view of a sparsely furnished room. It’s the sort of room that looks to have never yet been lived in, the furniture of the most generic sort. Prowling near the far wall is the owner of that too-close face.

He’s wearing spiky armor, sharply pointed gauntlets, and a conspicuous lack of shoes. Pointed ears poke out of his hair and when he turns to unlimber a large greatsword from his back, more of the white lines are visible on his skin where it shows through gapes in his armor. As is probably apparent, he has no idea that he’s being recorded and continues to examine the room with wary unease.

The video will continue for quite some time, documenting a positively riveting video of an over-armored elf doing nothing but poking around a room, until he’s alerted to the fact that the device is both active and broadcasting his business to others.

Someone, quite clearly, does not know how to use the communication device properly. ]

[Where does this guy get off snapping and snarling at him through these little magic screens? This is getting to be a bit much even for Anders--somebody needs to take a calming bubble bath before remembering they're not each other's enemies. Anders hadn't whisked him to this world.

His eyebrows come together, a scoff on the tip of his tongue, but then the elf is glowing and his likeness on the screen abruptly cuts to black. The question--what in the name of Andraste's knickers?--and the friendly reminder that he's not the Anders Fenris knows abruptly die with it.

Left uneasy and unsatisfied, he ends up huffing to no one but himself and the birds. Well, be that way!

Searching back to find the network identity the video feed had originated from, Anders fires off a last message.]


WELL, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO

and you know you might want to get that checked out by a physician
