[As a mage, Hawke has and always will be a target. When he sleeps, he goes to this place called the Fade and while he's there, it's like he's wearing a neon flashing sign that says 'come get me!' Spirits of all shapes and sizes and affinities are looking to invade his brain and use him as their vessel into the mortal world. It's one of the reasons mages are put up in the Circle in Thedas.

The point is that Hawke is sort of sensitive to these kinds of things.

He didn't sleep well last night. Something kept banging on the walls. And when he finally gets up, he finds some of his possession smashed or moved from their various places around his suite, he's more than a little wary. Spirits slipping through the Veil weren't the friendliest bunch. At least he hasn't encountered any.]

All right, which one of you tore open the Veil?

[It's Yelena, here with a quick question. She has a somewhat harried look about her, and she doesn't look like she's slept well with the bags under her eyes, but it doesn't make her any less alert.

That might be because of the coffee-like drink she's enjoying at one of the cafes in the Wood sector, but it's not what she's here to talk about.]

Just to be sure, no one has noticed any ghosts of people who aren't from Keeliai, right? That is, spirits of people who are definitely from their worlds instead of here, for instance?

[ophelia's watching something offscreen, her chin in one hand, her expression ... inscrutable. there's a ghost somewhere around, judging from the sound of it - trying to finish building her already-finished apartment.

there's another ghost grumbling in the background, passing in and out of view, ignoring everything else. she doesn't seem to be bothered by either. actually, she seems a little irritated.]

... I've made more interesting ghosts than this.

[she sighs, aggravated.]

Someone tell me there's better ones around here somewhere.

[When the video comes on, Yue is looking quite baffled, and with good reason. Her hair is being combed, though she's not the one doing it. It seems like the haunting of Keeliai has found its way over to her suite, too.]

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that I'm not the only person this is happening to. [She glances behind her as a broom comes sweeping into the background of the video.] This has been happening since I woke up today. The, um. The hair-brushing was actually what woke me up at first.

One of them won't stop making tea, too. I've... lost track of how many cups they've made so far. [Seriously.] They're very helpful, though I'm wondering how long this is going to last. It's a bit odd knowing I can't go anywhere or do anything without something I can't see watching me or combing my hair. Or anything else. [The thought of using the bathroom is a very, very strange one right now. Do not want spirits watching that, thank you.]

But they've been very nice, and I don't want to be rude by telling them to go awa-- [She pauses and looks at something off-screen.]

What? No! Don't throw that out, it's still good! [And she's just going to get out of her seat to stop whatever it is. The comb stays behind, floating awkwardly for a moment before whatever is holding it decides to follow after Yue.

... The broom just keeps on sweeping.]
