[The following handwriting is scribbled in the hand of someone clearly impatient, but there's also the occasional swirl to imply a decent education. Aside from that, though, the only effect they add is to make it slightly more illegible.]

Does anyone know where we can buy some bandages? Or if any of the nearby islands have herbs that could be used to make poultices? Hawke ended up spending too long looking at hats at Isla Empieza and we didn't have time to stock up. On anything except alcohol, that is.

I would have asked sooner, but we've also spent a week trapped in a tomb because this time Hawke wanted to loot a broken crate filled with nothing but shiny pebbles- [That last s ends in a long line, as if someone just jolted the writer.

And the next sentence is written in an entirely different handwriting, as if whoever jolted the original writer is leaning over said person's shoulder, and is adding a few comments of their own:]


They're probably gemstones, which means now that we're out of the tomb we can sell them. And put some on my hat.

[There's another strike across the page, and a third handwriting takes over.]

Andraste's ass, that week was terrible. I'm made for the open ocean, not crawling around in caves with miles and miles of rock between me and the sky. At least the entertainment wasn't lacking.

[And if there was any doubt as to what the third person meant, a scribble appears, of the sort that opens with "Anders dragged his fingers across Hawke's chest as he murmured, 'why don't I show you my lightning trick...'", but you'll have to read fast to catch it, as a moment later there's a pause in the writing, and then it's hastily scribbled out again. The original writer finally reappears.]

This is more important than-- [as if they'd even listen.]

If there's going to be a battle, then I need to help the injured. And I can only do so much without supplies.

So when are you guys gonna get to the part about the lightning trick?

I was wondering that myself, honestly.

Although I also thought the Antivan massage sounded at least as interesting.

I don't know what the hell an Antiva is, but yeah, I'd like to find out.

So is round-robin smut-writing a thing where you come from, or are you guys just branching out?

Antiva is a country known for its wine and its assassins. Apparently it also does massage.

I've never done this before, no. Usually I just read the results when Isabela and Varric get together for this sort of thing.

Seems legit.

[Wine, assassins, and massage, sounds like it all goes together.]

Y'know, I bet Kasumi would be great at this shit. Not that I want people to start writing fanfiction about our crew or anything, but there is some entertainment value to be had from it.

Perhaps you should suggest it to her. Or direct her to this entry, so she can get a feel for it.

Let it never be said that I didn't contribute to crew cohesion.

It's an excellent way to learn new things about people, if nothing else.

[Also an excellent way to ruin friendships, apparently, but we're not going to talk about that. :'D]

Possibly things no one wanted to know.

[personal profile] hawkethat 2013-12-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly. But that's all part of the fun.

[she sounds like she's actually giving an appropriate amount of thought to this] I don't know. First, Messere Sparklefingers would have to get out of those handcuffs.

Well, maybe Mister Sparklefingers should get some skills in getting out of handcuffs. For the sake of the narrative and all.

I suppose he could take on the ex Templar later on...
