[An Elven girl in a simple little skirt and blouse ensemble has arrived in musespace, kneeling near a pretty little pool of water. She splashes her face a bit, shakes her head, runs her fingers through her hair... And when she opens her eyes and blinks... she frowns, disappointed, like she expected to see something else.

She stands. She has a sword in her right hand, and her left hand is fiddling with the hilt of the dagger attached to her belt. She seems to be just faintly worried; in fact, she looks more self-conscious than anything, constantly looking down at herself in between bouts of examining her surroundings.]

... I guess this isn't The Fade. I can't possibly be dreaming... but where have I been taken? And where is my armor?

I'm pretty sure this place doesn't have a name.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

No name? [She frowns.] Then, where am I?

[braidedreaper.livejournal.com]

Here? Like I said, no name.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[That... gets Duo a very worried expression. She turns away and looks back over the water, lost in her own thoughts.]

[braidedreaper.livejournal.com]

You supposed to be somewhere in particular?

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Darkspawn are attacking the countryside. I need to be there.

[Khyrie eventually stumbles onto where Riella is standing, and tries to hide the intense feeling of relief at seeing a familiar face. Neither of the daggers at her hips are drawn, nor the bow on her back, but one might get the feeling that she's certainly twitchy enough to pull them at any moment.]

[After closing to within a handful of paces from her companion, she stares back out at the world again.]

That...is a really good question.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[Riella doesn't bother hiding her relief, she lets out the breath she didn't realize she was holding and smiles just a little. But only for a second. She's all business soon enough, and takes another look around.]

I'm not even sure how I got here. And... where are most of our belongings?

[seekingfame.livejournal.com]

[A look of panic hits Khyrie and she hastily begins patting herself down. After a few jingles and rustles she finally relaxes and grins.]

My gold's still there.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[Riella rolls her eyes. She may or may not have done so in an exaggerated manner.]

Yes, of course. The important things are with us, I guess.

[seekingfame.livejournal.com]

Though it's going to cost a fair few gold to replace that shiny fishnet you were wearing. I suppose we'll have to head back to Denerim now.

...once we figure out where Denerim is.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[She just looks plain baffled now.] How does one lose chain mail? It has to be around somewhere! There's no other way!

As for Denerim... [She frowns again.] What do we do?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a newbie! With pointy ears!

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[She whirls around, on her guard-- Oh dear goodness, pink hair-- what in the-- jafklsd?!

Brb, mind's a little broken. ... ... Okay! She shakes her head rapidly and fixes the girl with a bit of a glare.]

Excuse me?!

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

I said, you're a newbie. With pointy ears. What, how is that wrong?

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

Do you have a problem with Elves? [Her glare hardens a shade.]

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Huh? No! 'Course not. Just haven't seen many before. I think I've maybe seen one other.

Sorry, did I hit a soft spot?

[bitchofthewilds.livejournal.com]

[A woman in a dark cloak appears.] 'Tis strange indeed. I sense neither spirits nor demons.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, you came out of nowhere. Riella jumps a bit and turns to face the voice. She relaxes a little when it seems the woman isn't going to attack her or something, but still...]

That... is a very good thing. But if this isn't the Fade, there are no spirits or demons, and it doesn't seem to be anywhere I've ever seen before... where is this?

[bitchofthewilds.livejournal.com]

A most perplexing question, and one I have no answer to.

[xfire-birdx.livejournal.com]

You've been taken to a magical place of hope and wonder.

Except not really. Enjoy it.

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

A--...

[Hmph! She narrows her eyes and purses her lips. ... She actually looks a little more comical than threatening, but both sentiments are well enough there, anyway.]

I'm no fool, only lost.

[xfire-birdx.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wrong turn, blahblah. Like I said, enjoy your stay. This place usually isn't that bad.

What's your name?

[seekinghonor.livejournal.com]

[She frowns.] What do you mean by that?

... My name is Riella. I am a Grey Warden. Who might you be?

[xfire-birdx.livejournal.com]

I mean, this place has its ups and downs, but for the most part it's . . .not that bad? Yeah, I mean what I just said, pretty much.

Kirachi. Nice t'meet you.
