[He wanted time to familiarize himself with this place. He needed to know if anyone else from the Inquisition had been brought across as well, and then to find them if they had. But first, he'd looked through the information they'd given him - the neat print on the strange white paper - and now, suddenly, Maxwell had a much more immediate, personal worry.

The video opens on his face; his expression a mixture of incredulity and concern.]

Hello. [It feels awkward, addressing nothing, but he pushes on.] My name is Maxwell and I have a question, and there doesn't seem to be anyone else to ask.

[The camera turns and fixes on a portion of the pages he'd been given. He points to a section, chases a sentence with his fingertip as he reads it aloud.] 'Bears will always find him.' [Then the feed swings back to him.]

Why would anyone want this? How many bears do you even have in this place, to hope to make this useful? And do they just-- roam about?[He glances away, as if one might have suddenly sneaked up on him, then back.] Are these abilities negotiable in any way?

It is somewhat comforting, yes. [He offers a genial sort of smile.] At least I know I probably won't need a dagger under my pillow.

[Not anymore than usual, anyway.]

And so oddly unhelpful. One would think, if they wish me to do good here, they wouldn't give me an ability so unsuited for doing so.

I've heard of stranger abilities. [ Sometimes getting 'gag' abilities seems to be a thing, Poe has that thing with his hair always being perfect. ] Anyways... is that all it says about it?

And why bears?

[dreadinquisitor]

We have-- history, bears and I. A terrifying, angry, history.

So I assume someone thought it would be funny to see it continue.

[onlydoubts]

That seems cruel. [ And unhelpful. ]

Do you have other abilities or is it just bears hunting you down?

[dreadinquisitor]

And ironic, so doubly so.

...But yes. [A rustling as he looked at the pages again.] In fact, one of these might even enjoy. So, there is that.
