[ Tabris squints at the camera, moving it back and forth until she's sure that she can be clearly seen. Strange magic, but she's getting used to it. ]

Okay, so. This one is for all of the nonhumans of us out there. Sorry, shems.

[ She's not sorry. ]

Alright, so, I don't know about you guys, but having a couple hundred prisoners who don't like imPorts made it profoundly clear that I have a big glowy sign over my head that says 'imPort'. Or, I guess the sign is on the side of my head, because. Pointy ears.

From what I can tell, this world only cranks out humans. Which--Andraste's flaming ass, it's weird. Why do they only have humans running around? Do you think they went and, like. Killed off everyone else? I wouldn't put it past them.

[ She pauses for a moment. ]

If I'm actually full of shit and there are some organically grown all natural nonhumans from this world, please direct me to them and I'll send them a gift basket in apology.

I don't know, they're pretty fragile. You could probably throw them hard enough that they'd get squishy before they hit the ground.

[lAPIS NO]

[rideme]

Hah! Hey, if you wanted, you could always hop up on my shoulders.

[There's an appraising look at the screen.]

Oh yeah? You don't say.

From what I've gathered, most versions of Earth are like this.

It's difficult to see this as "not for humans" post when you mostly only talk about them. [ yes, yes, she made it very clear she didn't like humans, yes yes, good on her, yes yes, good luck with that. ]

This world's fauna is actually very vast. But I suppose you mean rational and sentient non-humans - and if so, you won't find any besides imPorts. [ which it IS weird, but most versions of earth are like that ] But no, they didn't kill them off - it was evolution mostly.

[ Oh, this lady is...significantly less colourful than he's used to from nonhumans where he comes from, but she says she's one so he's inclined to take her word. ]

Um, I don't know! Maybe that's just not how this world was made, I guess? It's kind of strange seeing just humans around, but maybe that's not really polite to say...

Well if this is Earth then humans are the dominate life forms, but I can tell you of other realms where elves are the dominate life forms.

Light elves dominate Alfheim a realm that inhabits one of the highest regions on the world tree.

Dark elves are the main inhabitants of Svartalfheim, a lower region on the world tree.

[dendarii]

Well, how else is he supposed to know they're good advisors?

[sidequestings]

Thank you, Miles.

[dendarii]

[ Miles grins a bit and gives the camera a thumbs-up. ]

[From the likewise-pointy ears and long purple hair, it's clear that the young woman on the other end of the video feed isn't human herself.] You know, that's a really good question. It's kind of weird that there's only "normal" humans here, right? No magical creatures, no genies, nothing like that.

Is it really that much of a problem though? Everyone's been pretty nice to me, except for the ones who tried to kill me, but they were criminals anyway.

[monge]

[Everything about this sounds terrible, no person should live a life like that.]

Hurry! Look out the nearest window right now, zura!!

[lapwing]

[ This djinni is finding the network to be just absolutely a blast. The cat form he's donning right now has a cheerfully smug look on their muzzle. ]

Nope, same old boring humans. You'd think they'd get some actual creativity going. A few horns, a few wings, an elegantly curling proboscis ... spice it up a bit.

[bloodshots]

[ Orlesians. But she is from a different world. How many Orlais can there possibly be? Is it a universal constant to inflict them upon all good people?? ]

Sounds like the Dalish. They live in the wilderness, roam around a lot. Usually steer clear of humans.

Are there any other races besides elves and humans?

[bloodshots]

Well, they breed fast, so it wouldn't be too hard to conduct experiments on how hard you'd have to throw them.

[ Enables. ]

[bloodshots]

Blah blah, Alistair's a loser, blah blah, stop putting Orlesians in charge. Blah blah, Tabris is the best.

[ She does, however, dutifully speak slowly. ]

[bloodshots]

On one hand: yes. On the other hand: I think that would make the door situation even more complicated.

--But yeah, I do say. I could offer an impressive list of references if I weren't, yanno. In a completely different world now. I'll have to get to work on fixing that.

[bloodshots]

Okay, but why.

[bloodshots]

This may be a difficult concept to grasp, I understand. However, the fact is, that it's possible to want to talk about something without wanting to talk to that something.

Pretty amazing, huh.

[ She has no idea what this 'evolution' he's talking about is, but it seems like a bad idea to ask after being a shithead. ]

[ghoulking]

You really just wanted to get people riled up, and not really achieve anything else. It's amazing, indeed.

Usually people just go "humans suck"; it goes much faster. A tip for the next time.

[oceanthief]

There's an awful lot of them on the planet now, you probably wouldn't even have to farm for extras.

[it's kind of weird, to see so many organics milling about, even now...]

[bloodshots]

[ In Tabris' defense, she would totally jump at the chance to have some crazy hue of skin color. Blue? Yellow? Maybe a rainbow. ]

It probably isn't that polite, [ Which has never stopped her. ] but it's worth consideration. What, in particular, made this world so different from so many others? Although--I guess this world is 'Earth', and all the various variations tend towards that?

I don't know. It's odd.

[bloodshots]

[ Well, that catches her attention. She leans forward, chin in hand. ]

The world tree? Is that like--[ How to not sound like an idiot. ]--Some kind of tree that has...worlds hanging off it? Like apples? [ Nailed it. ]

I've never heard of light and dark elves before. What are they like?

[bloodshots]

While I don't generally consider people trying to kill me a problem, it does become an issue when this whole...imPort thing is so contentious.

...Also, it's just. Weird. Uh. Like you just said. I thought it was worth bringing up.

[bloodshots]

[ She does kind of squint at the screen for a little bit. The last talking cat she had to deal with made her do puzzles. And tried to possess a little girl. But in the interest of not jumping to assumptions, she's going to presume this cat desires neither of those. ]

I would, personally, enthusiastically endorse more humans running around with some interesting modifications. They have the magic to pull people from other worlds and transport us around the world, surely they could handle slapping some horns on someone.

[ And here is Miss Continuing To Find Video Quite Weird, to be increasingly unhelpful in the face of someone who is obviously from Thedas. So, just one Fereldan to another— ]

Oh, yes. There definitely are. I, for example, am a dragon from this very same world.

[ That's right. Dragon. Right here. Only not, at all. In retrospect, it's probably impolite to make light of this when there's an elf at the head of it, but who knows, maybe she'll get a free gift basket out of it. ]
