Dear Morrigan,
I'm very sorry I was so rude to you, especially within so short a time of seeing you. I know we disagree on a lot of things but that absolutely does not excuse my being so cold to you. I hope we can make amends in time.
Apologetically,
Leliana

( she's been here for all of five minutes when her handy little cell phone buzzes, which definitely gives her pause. is there someone that she knows here? were they informed of her arrival? this is —
oh. )
Sorry to disappoint, Leliana, but I think you have the wrong number. No Morrigan here.

Does it? These small raven replacements aren't at all like anything we have back home. Faster than ravens, though, they usually don't go to the wrong person.
It's lovely to meet you, Sara. I like to think I normally make a better impression, but I've been told I have a rather high opinion of myself, from time to time.
A couple of someones, in fact, although they are both from eleven years in the future, or so, according to them. I haven't even met one of them yet. How about you? Are you new as well?

( ravens...? ravens. alright. she's heard stranger. )
Hey, there's nothing wrong with having self-confidence.
That sounds kind of frustrating, but I guess it's to be expected in a place like this. I just got here myself, but I doubt there's anyone I know here.
( though leliana has certainly given sara the idea to scour the city's population, just in case... maybe through that ridiculous dating app the representatives told her about when she showed up. )
How are you dealing with them being from a different time than you? Have they told you about things that happen in your future?
( she's becoming quite learned in the art of preserving timelines through time traveling with rip and their crew, so she's naturally curious. )

That's what I always say, but apparently it's equal to arrogance or self-righteousness in the eyes of some. Or vanity! Sometimes it feels likes you can hardly breathe without offending some people.
( and that is probably fairly reasonable to assume as a baseline for Morrigan's irritation, she suspects. Alistair breathing and existing around her always seemed to sour the witch's moods, but then the sun shining too brightly or the grass being too green would likely upset her similarly. )
It is strange, certainly. Cassandra said something about my serving as the Left Hand alongside her in the future, and even that I become the Divine. It seems so impossible, and yet I can hardly imagine the Hero of Orlais making jokes on such matters. I am content to listen to their stories and be their friend, and beyond that I suppose I can only have faith.

Sucks to learn that being a strong, confident woman has the same disappointing result in the eyes of other people in more worlds than just mine.
( she's decided that she likes leliana already. screw supposed arrogance and self-righteousness and vanity.
... even if she barely understands a thing that she's talking about. man, she's definitely from some faraway world. )
You're not worried that them telling you what's to come might actually be the thing that shapes your future?

It is frustrating, but I plan to exact my vengeance by living a happy life and helping others. They can enjoy their vitriol.
( is that petty? oh well )
I don't know. In the past my life was shaped by people not telling me things, and if it is the Maker's plan for me to follow that path then I am eager to do so. I am not sure I believe it, but I suppose faith is a complex thing, and we all have different maps to guide us through our lives.
Do you worry about the future a lot?

( okay, yeah, she really likes this leliana girl. sara relates to the feeling of doing good to spite all of the past expectations of her from the people who used to be in her life.
the question makes her laugh. )
Apparently!
I never really did until recently. I liked to just go where life took me. But with my most recent line of work
Well, I've learned a lot, and messing with the timeline is a very real problem, or so I've been told. The idea of a place like this is really hard to wrap my brain around in that context.

I hear that is the sign of an adventurous spirit.
So much about this place is hard to fully comprehend. The idea of an impact on timelines is not something I would have even considered, truth be told. Perhaps it would be prudent to warn my friends not to tell me any more?
Although given at least one of them, I think their words should be taken with a grain of salt. The administration spoke of their being countless worlds, no? Perhaps there is some divide between the reality they have experienced, and the one awaiting me.

There really could be different versions of the same reality, I guess... Clearly these Eudio people have their stuff figured out. All their bases covered. Damn.
If that's the truth, then maybe it isn't so bad that your friends have shared bits of your future. It's hard to say. As long as you're not worried about it.

I can't stand organised people, personally. I always feel less accomplished by comparison.
I am worried, a little, but I am not so convinced that worrying this very moment will solve the problem. Thinking of better things may be the better solution, I think.

P-Diddy? Well, he's a rapper.
( and there's a pause before she sends another text, foreseeing an inevitable followup question: )
Like... a musician. But with more spoken words. Like a poet? With music? Kind of?
( oh god, she's horrible at explaining this stuff. )
Rappers are kind of notorious for having a shitload of money and possessions and maybe most importantly, women. So I guess maybe feeling like P-Diddy would feel like living like a rich famous dude surrounded by a lot of hot chicks and loving life, or something like that. It actually sounds pretty ideal.
( man it's really unfortunate that sara lance was too busy being a goddamn assassin during The Rise of Ke$ha™️ and is fairly oblivious to contemporary pop music in general... she'd love her. )

A sort of minstrel, then. There are some whose lyrics far exceed their musical composition, it seems a little like that.
( and there is a moment of pause as she considers. )
So a woman to say she feels like P-Diddy would be going rather against expectations, then?
(And I think it is also worth noting that attractive women being referred to as something which could be sold at a marketplace food stall is both... perplexing and entertaining.)
It's an interesting lyric, in any case. The singing leaves something to be desired, admittedly, and I can't understand a good number of the turns of phrase, but she's very energetic.

( a minstrel. right. sara laughs at that without a doubt. )
Yeah, it pretty much sounds like this girl is really going against the grain. I can respect that regardless of vocals, I guess.
Are you just hanging out right now, listening to music? I'm admittedly pretty behind on anything recent in terms of pop culture — I've been pretty preoccupied back at home.

( excuse you, don't laugh at Leliana's profession tyvm )
I must confess I am perhaps a little more critical. Alas, my profession does sometimes incline itself to being a little bit snobby.
And that I am. I have Schmooples, a collection of vinyl records, probably more donuts than is sound for my health and wine. It's a hard life, enjoying these things all by myself.
( c: )
Ah, well, I suppose in lieu of any brave and noble souls willing to sacrifice themselves, I will endure alone.

( she doesn't recognize the number of the device that's calling her, but she picks up anyway. she most certainly recognizes the voice; it could make her blood turn cold.
sara's first reaction is anger; he'd left her here in eudio without so much as a single goodbye, though she figures it's pretty much her fault considering what she'd told him about what he did to mick.
next comes relief. she respects him, in some completely contorted way, as a teammate. better company than the likes of professor martin "astonishing" stein and ray palmer — better at cards, too, even if she's pretty sure he cheats. he's back.
rather than show her entire hand all that once, she settles somewhere in the middle: indifference, maybe mock, or maybe very real. )
Well, well, well. I didn't think they let crooks into this place.

[Nice to hear from you, too, Sara. Gosh. What's with the cold shoulder?]
Yeah well, the fact is they sought me out. Talked a good game, too. I almost believe that this place is some magical fairy land of orgies and candy where all our dreams'll come true.
How long've you been here?
