[Genessia. It hadn't rung any bells, and it still didn't now, but over the past few days The Iron Bull felt he'd gotten a decent enough grasp of the place. He'd been reading up on the network logs, camping out in the forest of Fayren.
It was some damn interesting stuff. Some needed context, but he'd gotten good information from a couple of the answers other people had gotten. A shame that it was all second hand but all the answers matched, at least as far as the basics were concerned. They'd been abducted, no way out, free housing for the first month.
It didn't seem to be magic, as much as the smart phone he'd been given struck him as nothing so much as a more advanced version of the scrying stone Dorian'd given him. He'd seen that he was here. Had been there, from the looks of it, and he couldn't help wondering if that stuck in the mage's craw.
The whole thing had thrown him for a loop, but it was starting to feel like more of just a place. He did a touch of exploring before he made a video, settling into his in the common housing. It was a good thing he hadn't meant to actually use it; the bed was a joke.
Still, it's good enough to sit on, a blank wall behind him when the actual video clicks on, his sword on the mattress behind him and out of view.]
This is on, right?
[It never hurt to play a little dumb. His face takes up a good portion of the screen, one eye covered by a leather patch that had been tied down, scratches extending outside of it. A pair of horns sprout from the sides of his head and extending off-camera. There doesn't seem to be a lot of shirt on what little you can see of his chest. His voice is rich, tinged by a hint of some accent or another and a care for inflection.]
I just got here. [The lie was easy.] Thought I'd get off of the road before saying anything. That said - shit.
[There's a smirk, almost commisserating.]
Is this place for real?
