text ↪ un: steve.rogers, dated before the closed door meeting

[fossils]

Everyone's already got their hands full so I'll cut to the chase:

There's room at the table for us at the upcoming meeting between Capt. Childe and the Thessyx representatives. Don't know how many seats or what's going to be discussed, but if you want to be the one representing us, or otherwise got any strong feelings on the matter

Now's the time to speak up.

( ooc: the mods said they'll be RNGing to pick from candidates for the closed door meeting! but if you've put your character forward OOCly already feel free to use this post to make their case ICly, groupchat amongst each other, etc! )

Why, I'm glad you asked! I'd love to.

[fossils]

Got a name?

[ or are we going with chronicler ]

oops forgot: un: weirdshit

[brosbeforeprose]

[Chronicler sounds fancy! But no.]

Varric. Varric Tethras, at your service.

Steve Rogers, I assume?

[Maybe a username with his name would have been a better plan.]

[fossils]

[ does help make introductions go quicker ]

Yeah

Take it you've got some experience chronicling?

[ How's your recall? ]

[brosbeforeprose]

Over the course of ten years, a woman named Hawke arrived in the city of Kirkwall as a refugee, made her fortune in an underground expedition, was named champion of the city for saving it from an invasion, and left the city a fugitive after plunging the world into civil war.

I just finished a book about it. And then I'm pretty sure I was getting arrested for it when I landed here.

I've got the experience.

[OK, maybe he's getting arrested for his part in the civil war thing. He's not sure yet. But he'll sure as shit tell people he's been arrested for telling truth to power, chronicling the revolution.]

[That's so amazing, Mops thinks reading this.]

[brosbeforeprose]

[Come ask him, Mops, he will tell you all the tales of his people!!]

[cleaningsolutions]

[After some hiccups with setting differences and magic - she absolutely thinks Varric's a short human - she will buy any conceivable exaggeration and not go 'wait' for about two weeks.]

Sounds like a hell of story. Kinda wish I could read it.

[ Maybe he can get you to tell it to him sometime. ]

[brosbeforeprose]

Get me drunk sometime and I can be convinced to tell it myself.

...In truth, I would tell it sober with very little convincing.

[fossils]

Gonna have to hold you to that.

[brosbeforeprose]

What about you?
Clearly a leader - you sound like you have experience with capital-s Situations.

You must have some stories to tell.

[fossils]

Got a few.

Joined the army when I was younger. United States, if that means anything to you. Found myself in a strange new world when the war was over.

Got a couple of things in common with your friend's story.

[brosbeforeprose]

The United States doesn't ring a bell, but it sounds like some experiences are universal.

Thedas doesn't mean anything to you either, does it?

[fossils]

Nope. But I'm learning a lot of new things this week, so

[ No surprises here. ]

[brosbeforeprose]

You're telling me.
Showers, guns, electricity - I've been learning a lot of new words.
