[ The video starts with Zevran tapping on the camera with a fingertip, as though uncertain it's really doing what it's supposed to be doing. Or perhaps there's a pattern there with some hidden meaning, who can say?

And then there's his face in focus, complete with tattoo down one side and those signature pointy ears of his. His accent is thick and warm. ]

What a marvelous device this is; I can only imagine what sort of naughty things you all must get up to with it, behind closed doors.

[ Leave it to Zevran to encounter smartphone technology and immediately and independently think of dick pics. Or worse. Considering the video function. ]

My name is Zevran Arainai. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances, one way... or another.

[ Complete with a suggestive waggling of the eyebrows, that last bit. ]

Haha, how fine to see one who looks as oily as they talk! Welcome to Genessia, Zevran. I've never heard either of those names; what do they mean, pray tell?

[zevranarainai]

[ Oily? Okay, he'll roll with it. ]

There are worse things to look than oily, my friend. As to the names, they are Antivan in origin, just as I am. Their meanings? A mystery for the ages!

[Give him strength. He grimaces.]

Must you introduce yourself in such a manner?

[zevranarainai]

[ Oh hello there, pointy ears. ]

Absolutely I must! You would have me... what, skip the foreplay, as it were?

[notea]

[stop]

Your name is enough. [your personality is Too Much. ]

[zevranarainai]

[ Have some actual tsking. Tsk, tsk. ]

You must be a great deal of fun at parties, my friend.

[notea]

[He's a fucking delight. Subject change.]

You're from Antiva, judging from your accent.

[zevranarainai]

I am indeed! And this means you are from Thedas as well, no?

[What a weirdly forward guy. Bulla's not quite sure of what to make of him, but she's going to reply simply to be polite.]

Hi, and welcome. I would hope people would keep their private business off the network. That just seems like it would be awkward for everyone.

[notea]

It does indeed seem that we have that in common, for what it is worth.

[please don't embarrass him and Alley.]

[zevranarainai]

These only broadcast to everyone? What a wasted opportunity!

[zevranarainai]

[ Embarrassment is for people with shame. Do you really want to live your life in shame, Solas?

Wait, don't answer that. ]

And so, back to the matter at hand!

[ Uh oh. ]

This tension of yours... are you not a fan of Antivans? Did one of us cheat you at cards? Sleep with your wife?

[fashionably_strong]

Oh, it's possible to send private messages. You just need to be careful and check the settings before sending anything to avoid accidents. I mean, you wouldn't want to accidentally send something racy to someone who wouldn't appreciate it, right?

[zevranarainai]

[ That's an awfully delighted laugh. ]

Oh, no, that would simply be the worst.

[ Dear god you've given the elf ideas how could you. ]

[youfool]

[Or maybe DA just has its models all look glossy idk]

Friends so soon? Goodness, you're quick. Rats; those mysteries are so frustrating. What was Antivia like?

[Video]

[deadlybang]

Not really, like there's only so far you can go with those things. And like, once you get over the novelty of it, it gets old like really quick.

My name's Angelique Sheeran, welcome to Genessia!

[Look if he's going to talk like that she's going to let loose with the stupid jokes and double meanings.]

[fashionably_strong]

[She is already regretting replying to this.]

Exactly. That should be reserved for consenting adults.

[Video]

[swordprincess]

...I can only imagine what sort of naughty things you're after...

[Really, Karla has seen enough of these kinds of advances and really doesn't see the point.]

Re: [Video]

[zevranarainai]

Oh-ho! Wordplay and a returning introduction?

[ Zevran approves (+5) ]

Be still my beating heart!

[Chrisjen had spent most of her time here finding her feet, and watching. Amazing what she could learn from watching. But this one? He amused her.]

It's useful, I'll agree. Naughty things... I'll leave that to the young.

Nice to meet you, Mr Araiani. My name is Chrisjen Avasarala, and I'm also new here.

I just watched the video on your profile SHE SEEMS AMAZING.

[zevranarainai]

Why leave it to the young? The more experienced have so many things to teach us all!

[ The age card didn't save white-haired Wynne from his flirting, it won't save Chrisjen either!

Still, it's more of a warm smile than a lascivious one he's giving her at the moment, at least. She's only the second person to give him a name back, and that counts for something. ]

How new, if you don't mind me asking?

[Video]

[deadlybang]

Just be like careful it doesn't still too much. That's like totally not a kind of fun approved by many.

[All the amused teasing.]

Aww, don't tell me like the people here can't appreciate a good introduction. Not that it, like, actually surprises me.

[notea]

[He makes a disgusted face.]

No, this is how I speak.

[he already knows where this conversation is going. He knows your type. Sera.]

[zevranarainai]

There is more to this than voice, is there not? Twice now you have appeared as though biting into a lemon by mistake!

So was it a girlfriend? A sister? Or -- oh, have I mistaken you entirely then?

[ EYEBROW. WAGGLE. ]

Perhaps it is you who was swept off your feet? A dizzying romance, straight from the mouths of poets, and then... betrayal! They went to another! Or perhaps pushed you through a window? I have been there, my friend, there is no shame in it.

[zevranarainai]

I will be careful!

[ It isn't his own heart he has a habit of stilling entirely, after all! ]

It would seem my charms fall mostly on blind eyes, yes. It is enough to drive a man to drink!
