[The video at first has an image of a grey-skinned elf upside down. The image is quickly turned rightside up. In addition to the grey skin, his eyes, both the iris and sclera, are red, and he has blue markings tattooed on his face. When he speaks, he has an accent that most would recognize as English.]

Okay, I think I got it. I don’t know how, but I got it!

Ahem, anyway. My name’s Finn, and I happen to be the Dragonborn. That means I have a dragon’s soul and I can kill people by yelling at them. Breathing fire, ice, that sort of thing. I would demonstrate, but I don’t want to spend all day fixing any holes in the wall or putting out a fire.

Anybody know where I can get some art supplies? Pencils, parchment, that sort of thing. Better yet, where can I get some tea and honey? Tell me this world has honey.

[Here's a violet-haired, violet-irised woman. Her accent is also English, as she hails from Maldon, Essex.]

This world has tea and honey, yes. I've only been here a few days myself, but I can send you addresses of a couple of good places I've already found for those. What city are you in?

[Where to get good proper tea was one of the first things she did, naturally.]

[video]

[fireandhoney]

Oh thank Azura. I'm in...

[He pauses, then takes out a little slip of paper from his pocket.]

Heropa.

[centelha]

There's honey here. I'm not much of a tea drinker, but that's here, too. Most supermarkets have them. And if you look online there's art supply stores in most cities here.

[fireandhoney]

On what line?

video; hearing this in the male Dunmer accent \o/

[momchester]

[Super unimpressed human. Got a sort of Nord look to her, maybe. Or pale Oblivion-era Breton.]

So you just go around introducing yourself like that?

[Eyebrow raised so hard, Finn. U weirdo.]

[fireandhoney]

[He's equally unimpressed, madam Nord.]

Maybe I do.

[versusseeker]

[Dragonborn, you say? Red doesn't introduce himself or explain - just turns on his camera and points it toward his Charizard who blinks a couple of times, snorts a bit of smoke, then yawns and starts lazily scratching its belly.]

[fireandhoney]

[That's the first dragon he's seen since he got here. It's also pretty small. And it has six limbs instead of four.]

Drem Yol Lok.

[shittywizard]

Huh, you don't look like a Dragonborn.

[ There's a bright green elf squinting blue eyes close up at his screen. Someone's used to dragonborns looking, well. Like small dragons. (Really small, in Carey's case.) ]

[fireandhoney]

[Finally, another elf! A very green elf. Weird.]

You're not the first person to tell me that, believe it or not.

[When most people hear the title 'Dragonborn', they picture a burly Nord with a sword and shield.]

are there different types
of dragon souls?
like different elements?

[fireandhoney]

As far as I know there's only one type of dragon soul. There's white souls, black souls, and dragon souls.

[dreadinquisitor]

[When Maxwell comes across the elf's post he almost drops his communicator in surprise. The strange features - grey skin, red eyes, - don't even register at first. His heart was pounding, wondering if maybe, just maybe at last--

Then he gets a better look. Then he actually listens to what the man is saying... and none of it makes sense.

He'd know, wouldn't he, of anyone like this in Thedas? Even if the general populace didn't - and given the wild rumors about elves, that wouldn't surprise him - wouldn't The Inquisitor? Surely Leliana, or if not her Morrigan or Solas, would have dug something up, somewhere.

He hesitates, a moment, wondering if he really wants to know... then takes a breath and replies.]

Andaran atish’an.

[Maxwell doesn't know a great deal of Elvish, but he's picked up enough in his dealings with the Dalish to know the formal greeting. To put out this small, gentle test.]

[fireandhoney]

[Finn blinks at the greeting. He's not familiar with that language.]

Andaran atish’an.

[He's clearly just repeating the phrase without understanding it. Hopefully this Imperial (he's guessing Imperial) wasn't insulting him. Or hopefully Finn didn't commit some faux pas by repeating that.]

[h2no]

Y--you can't just say that Dragonborn stuff then wave it off like that!!

[he wants to know EVERYTHING]

video

[fireandhoney]

Guess I'm just used to that being self-explanatory back in Skyrim.

[Then again, he certainly didn't know what it meant at the time his powers revealed themselves. Nor did the other Dunmer who was there.]

[lempereur]

I go to Van Don't Gogh in Heropa. They have a decent selection when it comes to the basics, and favorable pricing.

[ Yusuke turns the camera around to show his bedroom, somewhat of a mess littered with art supplies, and the walls lined with paintings. ]

What was that about ice breath?

video;

[fireandhoney]

I'll have to check it out.

[That looks kinda like Finn's art studio back home. His room here will probably look similar before the month is over, he's sure.]

I can breath frost and ice. And yes, there is a difference.

[livesfastdiesung]

There's lots of honey in the stores around here! Ehuhuhuhu...

I'm Freyja, it's nice to meetcha!

[fireandhoney]

Nice to meet you too.

[drivesadesk]

This world has honey and tea, because if there's one thing humans do well, it's making sure they have all the awesome food stuffs. You'll find them at grocery stores, and a lot of stores will have pencils and paper.

Also? That Dragonborn thing sounds awesome. My name's Jonathan, by the way, and I'm...I guess I could say lizardborn, technically? Which is less cool sounding. But yeah, lizard person in disguise. How are you? And we've got a few dragons here. I guess you could be soul somethings with them?

Video

[fireandhoney]

Nice to meet you, Jonathan. I'll have to keep my eyes open for those dragons, assuming they don't try to roast me first.

Gotta say, that's quite the disguise. How do you fit your snout into that mask? Or it this a glamour thing?

[marriedmedium]

Congratulations, darling! That sounds very impressive, and I've been well acquainted with banshees, so I'd know!

video;

[fireandhoney]

Think it sounds impressive, you should see it in action sometime.

Don't go to the supermarkets; their tea is fucking awful. There's little shops that do it better. The Tea Station in Maurtia Falls is all right.

[fireandhoney]

Go to the Tea Station, avoid the supermarkets. I can remember that.
