[ oh hey alastair. 'sup. how's your day going? probably loads better than badou's, if the sudden video broadcast of what has to be the saddest image to grace this freaky network is of any indication. he's on the ground somewhere outside, probably deep into the island's forests from the look of all the dirt and greenery, but it's kinda hard to focus on the setting when you factor in the rest of him.

real talk? he ain't looking so good. bruised, beaten, and bleeding, he looks like he got into a fight with a demon-possessed blender and, not only did he lose, but that blender pretty much made him its bitch.

speaking of — son of a bitch that hurt. and not just in one area, either, it was one of those great "all over even where the sun don't shine" kinda pains and it's a wonder he hasn't cried or died from it already. he looks on the verge of it though, both of those, probably gonna be at the same time but for now, for the blessed moment of now, he manages to keep it together. ]


So, uh. s'There a doctor in the house?

[ help, he's fallen and he can't get up.

he's moving, at least, if the stilted way he tries to wiggle a hand into one of his pockets can even be counted as "moving." it takes him far too long, with a lot of guttural muttering, but eventually he manages to fish out a single cigarette. this he shakily lifts up to his mouth, which unfortunately bobs precariously since he can't seem to stop talking. ]


Preferably one that ain't gotta wave a wand at me, f'you catch my drift, I'm thinking I reached my """"magic"""" quota for the day, thanks. [ bitter? who? him? ] Just a head's up — if walk in on a blue tattooed thing wandering 'round looking like he might wanna murder ya, SPOILERS he's gonna wanna murder ya so, y'know, don't.

[ shaky hands bring up a lighter, and the flame comes dangerously close to his nose as he tries to light the cigarette hanging from his lips. ]

Sonuvabitch made me waste an entire magazine on him too, where the hell am I gonna get more of that 'round here, huh—

[ he cuts off suddenly, watching in horror as the cigarette falls from his mouth, landing uselessly beside his head. it seems the last of his strength leaves him in that moment, his hands also falling uselessly to his sides.

he draws in a deep, shaky breath, staring up blanking into the sky. for a second, just silence.

and then, in a glorious wail— ]


I FUCKING HATE IT HEEEEEEERE!

[Even after the introduction and brief period to adapt, Meallan isn't quite convinced that this isn't the Fade as he finds himself in a strange, new land. The buildings in particular don't help much, seemingly growing out of the earth or nature itself, like some new twist on the stories of how his people long ago made their homes in the trees, bending their shapes with magic.

But then he sees a person that looks like they're part deer somehow go by in the distance and the idea that maybe this is somewhere else entirely seems a lot more likely. He feels like he might be gaping just a little, like a shemlen who's never seen a Dalish clan before.

Giving himself a little shake, Meallan reaches for the amulet around his neck that had been so helpful so far and lifts it to his face, doubtfully turning it over in his fingers. Apparently all he needs to do is concentrate on wanting other people to see and hear him and they will, but he can't honestly tell if it's working or not, even if everyone else is likely seeing a very doubtful looking elf right now.]


Hello? [He pauses and shakes his head.[ Creators, that voice should have said what to do if this doesn't work. Or how to tell if it doesn't. Who knows if there's anyone else lost out in wherever this place is, shouting at their jewelry for hours on end.

[Still silence, so he lets the amulet thump back against his chest, hand rising to card through his hair.]

All right then. Either someone will answer or they won't, I suppose. In the meantime, there has to be more people around here somewhere.
