[ fidelio's just hanging out in the lobby of the mansion for a bit after the angels' introduction, still working his way through the profiles on his phone, and glances up when anders passes by. (he's still shaking his head at the human thing inwardly.) ]
So, would you count those three as spirits?

[ he is also slowly going through these profiles, frowning. ]
It's how they've described themselves, isn't it? Angels are apparently some type of spirit, according to some of the others.
They've deemed themselves in charge at least.

Feeding us nug-shit and calling it caviar.
[ huff. ]
Are you thinking of taking them up on this deal of theirs?

There is always a catch. Deals with demons never end well. They will always want something you cannot bear to give, and will never fulfill their end of the bargain. It is a false promise. It will end in blood, or worse.
[ well he'd sounded so certain when he'd said it a second ago but deflates a little now. ]
... I don't know. I've spent my entire life fighting against offers like that. A mage has to.
But Hawke needs to go back. The world needs him. He is important.

[ yeah. the sassy quips bloke with the stick. protagonist privilege is getting to be a silly little guy while some horrible sad blonde thinks you hung the moon. ]
Yes?
Yes?
Me little brother's here. And one of his friends, too.
[ though that part's complicated for timeline reasons. ]
World's a proper mess right now, and their group's all what's got a shot at keepin' it from goin' completely to hell.
Already played me own role, so it doesn't matter so much to me whether I go back, but...

[ im so sorry he just has to have a moment where he realizes there are small blessings and one of them is that hawke's little brother isn't here thank the maker there are small shining lights in the world amen. i feel the need to clarify this is because carver sucks so bad and he hates him. ]
[ but he grimaces because yeah. that fucking sucks, man! ]
Then you and I really are in a similar position. Who is your brother?

[ help it's fine they can both think rude thoughts in their brackets
and yeah! it does! ]
Basilio.
[ which, like. being brothers is their whole brand, it's the opposite of a secret, but also being two paripus with the same last name on their profiles kind of gives it away anyway. ]

[ sure, here's anders' thought: how did one brother get all the Tall and leave nothing for the other one. that seems unfair. share it. ]
Right. I suppose that makes sense.
[ ... ]
Did you die at the same time?
Right. I suppose that makes sense.
[ ... ]
Did you die at the same time?
That seems common amongst us. Hawke claims I died years ago.
[ he won't press further for details, he just wanted to know if it was kind of the same for everyone who came with a person they know. ]
Have you heard of those things before at all-- Angels? Heaven?

It's ... interesting how universal an experience the lies of the church is amongst us. Do you think that's a thread we should pull on?
[ a bit of a derisive snort because yeah, organised religion just fucking sucks everywhere, apparently. ]
Gives plenty of us a healthy dose of scepticism, at least.
[ though for once, he'd kind of like to be less pessimistic if basilio really might be able to live again. ]
Somethin' to keep in mind, for sure. Should be able to get a better idea of what we're lookin' at once this whole thing kicks off proper.

[ happy week zero. anders can be found wandering around the new area, outside mostly - up near the lighthouse. taking in the views and stuff. nice weather and all. ]
It's a good view, actually.

The sea always looks inviting until you remember actually being on a ship.
[ he has no sea legs. ]
Before that experience I had dreams of running off and joining a pirate crew. I thought the outfits were dashing.

[ a bit of a chuckle ]
Yeah, me and Bas travelled by sea not too long before this too.
[ well. not long for him, anyway. ]
Weren't even a real ship, just this rustbucket of a landrunner some loony engineer rigged up to float. Damn thing nearly sank at one point.

It always sounds better in the stories than it works in real life.
