one ❀ voice

[unknowable]

[There's no video, because it's too dark in the coffin to show anything anyway. Adam's voice is carefully steady, as if he's keeping himself under control through sheer power of will.]

I saw that Fear said our air supply will be refreshed. I don't know if that's true - I don't know if we can trust him - but I thought people ought to know anyway.

[Not that he necessarily believes anything any of the gods say, but - well. Who knows.]

Talking is a little less impersonal than text. It might help to hear a familiar voice, if any of your friends are buried. There also isn't much to do down here but panic, so if anyone wants to talk - I wouldn't mind.

They sure do. Though I'm pretty sure the only words I know from it are curses or worse.

[Look, he doesn't know what Iron Bull is yelling when he's fighting a dragon, but he's pretty sure smart money is on it being dirty. Rainier gives a small grunt as he shifts to make sure his arm doesn't fall asleep.]

They're more or less isolationists, though. Have their own religion different from everything else in Thedas. The only country close to theirs is Tevinter. Pretty rare to see elsewhere. A lot of people are afraid of them, even though the ones outside of their country have more to fear from their kin than everyone else.

Huh. We have nothing like that. Your world sounds so... interesting.

[That's maybe not the right word, but it's close enough. Magic or not, it's so different from what Adam knows. He's not sure he'd want to go there, but hearing about it is certainly something.]

[theresolve]

So does yours to me. Things like these phones being everyday use.

[unknowable]

I guess that would seem pretty remarkable. It's not magic, though, just technology. Probably someone in your world will create something similar eventually.

[theresolve]

It's possible. I imagine it'd be magical or a long way off from my lifetime when they do, though. Who knows, maybe someone will show up here from the far future of Thedas and all these things will be common place for them.

[unknowable]

It could happen.

[He sighs, quiet.]

Thank you for speaking with me.

[theresolve]

Of course. I'm sure we'll talk again before this whole thing is through.

Don't give up, Adam. Were going to get through this.

[unknowable]

I'm not in the habit of giving up. You don't, either, all right?

[theresolve]

I haven't yet, not about to consider starting.
