I knew I’d get this thing on eventually. All it it needed was a few swift kicks to help it along.

[Hawke looks rather smug with himself right now. Despite the crash course given to him, of which he may have zoned out of once or twice, he understands this console about as much as he does magic. The fact he got it working on his own means a lot to him.]

Alright, from what I hear this place is in need of heroes and the like. So much so in fact that they’ve started kidnapping people right off the street. Now I don’t mean to criticize your emperor, but that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Generally it’s considered good manners to ask someone for help instead of just grabbing them by their short and curlies and just dragging them off somewhere.

[He wags his finger in a very ‘you should be ashamed of yourself’ manner.]

Maker, at least people in Kirkwall gave me the illusion of choice before asking me to do something stupid and dangerous. They usually pay me too.

[When he sighs it’s utterly exaggerated.]

Oh well, no use in complaining I suppose.

[Of course that doesn’t mean he’s actually going to stop anytime soon.]

Since I’m here I may as well play along. Chances are this is all some kind of Fade...dream...thing, so what’s the worst that can happen? Besides the possibility of demonic possession.

Isn't that the truth.

[He gives a small shake of his head before smirking back at the console.]

The name's Garrett Hawke.

Zelgadis Graywords. Nice to meet you.

Likewise, always a pleasure meeting someone sane.

[Zelgadis nods]

Sometimes it can seem to be in short supply.

Where I'm from you have no idea.

If it's anything like where I'm from...

Then you have all my condolences.

Same here.

Wonderful, we can both feel sorry for each other.

Well, there's always hope for the future. Though some of the people here aren't that sensible either.

Of course not, why would they be? I've learned that's far too much to ask of people.

Especially since they've brought so many here. Some times it only takes one.

Now that sounds familiar, but it's true enough I suppose.

Right. They tend to make fools of themselves on the network, so they're easily identified.

A shame they can't do us all a favor and make fools of themselves in the privacy of their own home. It's what I do.

Well, I do like knowing which ones I should avoid...

I find those ones are easy enough to spot whether they're stupid in public or in private.

Fair enough.

I like to think so. One of the fair things left in the world I find. A damn shame so many of them have so much influence.

I agree. Whatever I think of the Emperor here, at least he's not an idiot. The previous one wasn't either.

This will be a first time for me then.

[But Hawke rather see for himself than hear this secondhand.]

One does have to see it to believe it.

Never had much faith in hearsay. After all, you should hear some of the stories they tell about me.

Good or bad?

That depends entirely on who you're getting the story from. I flip flop between hero and menace. Suppose that makes me a menacing hero. Or a heroic menace. Whichever sounds better.
