[The last thing Keeva remembers is being on her way to Denerim. She'd been called to the castle by Alistair for a banquet or some such, celebrating the Circle's official separation from the Chantry. But this definitely not her room in Lothering's inn and this was most certainly not her tent in the party camp.

She takes her time, calmly explores the room and finally stops when she finds the comm. She has absolutely no idea how to use it and it takes a moment for her to even turn it on. It comes on with a burst of static and some obnoxious feedback. She winces and then brings the microphone too close to her mouth.]

Hello? [Was she even doing this right?]

[Um.]

My name is Keeva and I'm a Grey Warden. Could you...would anyone mind helping me? I need to get to Denerim.

Hello? Anyone?

Maker's breath

[The comm cuts out with another burst of static. Someone needs to show her how to work this thing.]

[Static and feedback always hurt the ears.]

You might want to hold that back a little when you talk in to it and avoid brushing your fingers over the speaker at the bottom of the device.

You're a long way from home. Enjoy your stay on the Black Tide. There's a food court and marketplace on deck 6, free for the taking.

[Audio]

[warstaff]

[Huh? She adjusts herself accordingly and tries this again.]

The Black Tide? Are they raiders? Where are they taking me?

[Audio]

[dominateartimus]

Yes, the Black Tide. A 'cruise' ship and no, they're not raiders. Apparently they're taking us to the Golden Shore.

[Audio]

[warstaff]

[What's a cruise ship?]

I don't understand. Cruise ship? If they are not raiders then why have they kidnapped us? Where is the Golden Shore?

[She's eying the map on the wall and cannot make heads or tails of whereabouts she might be.]

[Audio]

[dominateartimus]

A cruise ship usually involves a slow voyage across the water, where passengers enjoy themselves with various amenities. Usually there would be something to look at on the top decks, but there's water for miles.

I'm not exactly sure why they've taken us on board, but there's bound to be an entry on here that explains it and a map in your room showing our destination. You could consult the staff about any other questions you may have.

...Oh. Watch out for bombs.

[Audio]

[warstaff]

Bombs?

[Was it the qunari powder? Andraste's bush, man.]

Thank you for the help, ser...? [Reaching for a naaaame???]

I do have one more question. Have you seen my mabari?

[Audio]

[dominateartimus]

Yes, bombs. Not sure who planted them. Probably someone who was with the chipmunks invasion during Halloween.

[He shrugs, even though he was using the audio function.]

Xander.

...A what?

[Audio]

[warstaff]

[This keeps getting worse.]

My dog. He answers to Moose. [Or mongrel or hey you.]

[Audio]

[dominateartimus]

I have not, but I'll keep an eye out for him.

[Audio]

[warstaff]

Thank you, messere.
