001: voice
( It's taken Cassandra a great deal of trial-and-error to be able to use the communicator at all. It sits awkwardly in her hands, as if mocking her ineptitude. The thought of people being able to see her face, from a distance, is frankly unnerving, so she quickly discounts the video option. Writing is bad enough when it's ink on paper, so that leaves her with one option she understands, really: voice communication. There are items in Thedas that have a similar function, Cassandra knows, but usually they're not so... bright. And rectangular.
Now, she knows, she is just procrastinating, and she is not the type of woman who likes to waste time. She flicks the audio function, like she'd been taught, and scowls at the device as if she expects it to stare back. )
I do not like this.
( A moment later, it's as though she's just realised she's already turned pressed the button. )
Oh! It's...on?
( Of course it is. And everyone has heard her confusion. Why did anyone think this form of communication was a good idea again? She does her best to gather both her composure and her thoughts. She starts to talk in a clipped staccato: )
I shall be brief. I am not familiar with this technology. Obviously. I was merely wondering if anyone else here is from a world similar to my own. I would like to hear your experiences, if you would share them.
( And she ends the call there partly because she's not sure what else to say but mostly because she's still not convinced that this actually worked. )

I see. That certainly explains your return to taciturn responses to me. [ No matter though. He won her over once, he can do it again! ] It's 9:44 for me, for a point of reference.

I pray the future is a better one than what you experienced in Redcliffe.
( She read that report. It wasn't pretty. )
no subject
Or, at least they did in Dorian's Thedas. He would, naturally, hope that to be the same in whichever Cassandra comes from. ]
Oh, yes. That. [ It still seems so long ago. ] It was. For a bit. But, you know Thedas. Never quite living unless you're nearly dying.
no subject
That is true enough. Maker knows we will never expire from boredom. ( She pauses, and then slightly awkwardly adds: )
At least there is still a Thedas to nearly die in.
( That news is more of a relief than she can truly admit. )
no subject
Yes, well, for now at least. I rather hope that to be the continued case, of course.
[ But, considering how things were left... Even he doesn't know. ]
no subject
Do you consider it to be likely? Thedas's continued existence, I mean.
no subject
I won't mince words with you, Seeker. I don't know if it will or not. Things are [ . . . ] a bit uncertain in the future.
no subject
'The future is uncertain'? I suppose that is simply par for the course. ( A pause. ) Thank you for addressing my concerns, Dorian.
