Video | Early Morning

Oh, how interesting! [Someone has been poking around with her new phone. And accidentally pressed too many buttons, turning on the video function without realizing. Have a very-too-close close-up of her face! Also, like someone read any of the pamphlets or anything. She doesn't even realize one has money in it.]

I guess this is how this works. You know, for all I've spent trying to fix the Eluvian I have back home, I never really gave much thought about how it would work. And there isn't anyone around I can ask either, not like here. Not that there could be, just it would be nice. Still, the surface is so pretty! How does it manage to reflect anything...

[She will finally lean away from the communicator, laughing awkwardly.]

Hah, oops. I'm rambling. I always ramble when I'm nervous. I don't mean to, it just happens. I'll just...stop talking now. Yes.

[She fumbles with the communicator, eventually dropping it and the fall turning it off.]


Action | Throughout the Day

[Why anyone thought it would be a good idea to let Merrill wander around any of the cities unaccompanied or without some string to find her way is anyone's guess. She did pick up a map and she can be found throughout Genessia and other cities staring at it; sometimes it's upside down, sometimes she's not even looking at the map side of it. Yeah.]

How odd. No matter where I go, it always says that I'm "right here". But I know I haven't seen that street a second time. Unless I have and the bushes are moving on me. Can they do that here?

Comments

"You're clanless?" Now there was an irony, since of the two of them Merrill was the one still wearing vallaslin.

"Sort of?" she said, a little hesitant. "Technically. For almost ten years or so. But after the whole business with the Chantry, I've been helping other Dalish avoid the humans."

"A worthy goal, with all the wars going on," Alley conceded, though a First 'technically' being clanless was still suspect.

[followthetwine]

"Right!" She nodded as she said that. "I've spent a lot of time avoiding humans, so it's only fair that I use that to help others who might not."

She doesn't offer up any other explanations for why she's technically clanless. That memory is still too raw for her to talk about freely. Plus, a First being responsible for and participating in killing off her clan isn't usually something to mention on the first few meetings.

"Humans can certainly be persistent problems," Alleyana agreed, and then turned away. She gestured over her shoulder, however. "Come on, I'll show you the apartment. And then we can mark it on your map."

"All right!" Merrill almost skipped after Alleyana as she walked away to the apartment. But only until she caught up, then she focused on following so she wouldn't get separated.
