Varric Tethras

[Sealed to: Hawke, Anders, Aara, Riku, Zhaneel]

[Yes he is still sealing things to Zhaneel. His handwriting looks much better than his last post, very close to his normal hand]

Looks like that might've been a false alarm. I've been getting better, seems like most of my symptoms are gone.

[He's just not going to mention the hallucinations and seizures that came before the getting better. Especially since he sort of broke his promise to let Hawke and Anders know if it got worse. Though it was at least unintentional, considering he hadn't exactly been in his right mind at the time.]

I'm calling off the avoiding. I know you all must be thrilled at the prospect of getting to be in my presence again.

Anyone who wants to come and check for themselves or get more information about whatever this was, I'm on the first floor of the Chapel. Won't be responsible for any information that ends up being overshare, though.

[No, Varric has no idea that starting to recover means he'll soon be going completely nug-shit insane.

Also for plot purposes, Riku's going to get to be the first one to meet up with Varric, so there can be lovely attempted murder. Varric'll be responding up until he goes zombie, though.]

Well, this is a particular brand of crazy I haven’t seen before. It’s almost refreshing, really.

Through mysterious and mystical forces, your world never has and never will exist. But fear not, a tremendously kind lord is taking care of everything, because he has nothing better to do with his time than recreate the world. Add in some shadowy staff, an obvious ulterior motive, some attractive heroes, a couple of twists and betrayals, a suspicious request for record keeping, and I can work with this. If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s record keeping.

Of course I prefer to do my record keeping in the comfort of the Hanged Man and not in a random room of a keep run by an insane nobleman who writes strange letters on his prisoners while they’re unconscious.

What have you gotten yourself into this time, Varric?

I’m sure this is Hawke’s fault. It always is. Well, aside from all the times it was Rivaini’s. And Blondie’s. Or the elf-

Andraste’s dimpled buttcheeks. I’ve got to get myself some better friends.
