Oh Maker's Breath-

[Alistair pauses. His voice sounds like it's a bit far away; he's holding this new alien device far ahead of him, trying to figure out exactly what it is, nevermind the fact he already knows how to work it.]

Not Ferelden. Definitely not Ferelden. One would think they'd remember coming to a foreign place, just a night before a big event that could determine the fate of the world, but no, I've got no bloody remembrance of anything. Dwarven ale is great, Oghren said. Put hair on your chest, he said. Not wake up in a weird place and nearly nude. Horrible pranks, really. This must be some witchy plot. Swooping everywhere, I know it.

I don't think there's a witch to blame. Or your...dwarven ale?

[There's a lilt of curiousity there. She's familiar with dwarves, of course, but as far as she's aware, their ale doesn't differ a jot from anyone else's.]

[a new voice comes over the comm, as is someone's leaning over the other man, on account of being convinced his comm is a giant paper weight.]

Sure. Right. Blame the mage. Why am I NOT surprised? A Templar blaming a mage. How original. You couldn't come up with another option in that lyrium addled brain of yours?

And it's your own fault for drinking Oghren's ale. That dwarf drank darkspawn blood like it was whiskey.

While that is a known side effect of too much drink, [That and time travel!] that's not exactly what happened here.

[At last, someone he recognizes! Zevran, currently ensconced in some unguarded attic in Poseidon with a good view of other people's business, flips open his own communicator (still disguised, impractically, as a grimoire) and settles in to prod at that familiar voice.]

My friend, we have both seen far more of Oghren's chest hair than any sane man needs to see. If you are attempting to charm dwarven women, there are other ways. I believe I heard some considering mountain climbing when we were in Orzammar.

Why do you think a witch behind your arrival here?

[ Since it's been mentioned, Helga is going to ask. She's open with her magic but better safe now than sorry at a later date. ]
