[Dorian smiles and gives a quaint wave a greeting before he addresses the network. His surroundings are smaller, not the modern trappings of his own office, but the stone masoned and naturally lit walls of his office at Fairy Tail.]
Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to talk, today, about Time and, more specifically, the record thereof. You see, through quite a bit of research I'll not bore you with, I've determined the calendar utilized here correlates well enough with my own. The 10th month of the calendar used by Genessia and its environs began yesterday, at midnight. It is referred to as 'October'. In my own world, Frumentum or as it's referred to by the common folk "Harvestmere" will be beginning in roughly two days time. We have 12 months, divided into 30 days each. If Genessia continues on a path consistent with its previous course, its calendar year consists of 365 days, save for every 4th year, when some brilliant scholar ages ago realized they were losing time and devised a rough patching that's consisted into the present day. I've of course not been around here long enough to have experienced this mythical "leap year", but Genessia's calendar, along with many of its residents, seem to hail for "Earth". It's the "Roman" calendar, which is a rather interesting topic in regards to both Earth and Thedas, but, well...
[He clears his throat, turning his gaze to an open journal before him.] I digress grossly.
Last month on Thedas, we began the month with the Annum "All Souls Day", and it would seem there are several similar holidays at the end of this Genessian month. I've read about several of them, but I'm curious what your traditions are. In Thedas, the holiday is rather dour. We dress as ghosts and parade about at midnight, very sad. We don't even get a feast! What do you do?

Good afternoon, Champion. I have a present for you.

Re: Video | Private
Friday, early evening? There's a charming little cafe in Everglade, a pleasant enough little town of you ignore the occasional werewolf.
Re: Video | Private
[A bright smile.]
Friday is fine. Message me the name? Or I can ask around when I get there, though I'm not certain how many cafes they have. It may make me more than fashionably late.

[He laughs, but shoots a quick text his way with the location.]
Shall I meet you at the archway, make certain you don't get lost?
Re: Video | Private
[Hawke lied, flagrantly.]
But I suppose if you'd like an escort, I can meet you at the archway.
Re: Video | Private
[He chuckles.]
How could turn down the escort of such a fantastic beard?
Re: Video | Private
[A smile.]
Others have certainly failed. I'll see you then?

[He inclines his head.]
That you shall, Hawke, and maybe we can avoid falling head-first into the Fade this time 'round.
