[ wow i can't believe i managed to save denji from some crazy ass nonsense only to dump him into p5's nonsense "wrong game ari" STILL. IS LIKE. CHAINSAW MAN OKAY

ahem. meanwhile, congrats on the absolute blank stare into the void while hawke processes literally all of this because the anders level of nonsense just gave her a palovian headache. ]

Well, that certainly is a right mess.

[halved]

[denji is better off in p5 it's fine

asa closes her fucking eyes, and immediately:]

Could you forget you ever saw that?

[quirkwall]

I suppose it won't help if I know someone with a rather similar backseat problem, hm?

[halved]

... What do you mean?

[quirkwall]

You may have heard me mention him before. On your average day, Anders is a damned good healer. But at the same time, he's also possessed by a spirit of justice, and occasionally... seeing the injustice to mages causes it to..... take over. Creates a bit of a mess. It doesn't understand human nuisance very well, or why certain things can't be done immediately and move on. And maker only knows how much the endless yapping in his ear has driven Anders a bit round the bend.


[ she pauses for a moment, because haha, he sure did take a trip down crazy town ]

So! Yes, I do understand in some sense.

[halved]

[what the fuck.

there's a grimace when the whole justice spirit is brought. some unfortunate association there, perhaps.]

He made a contract with a justice... spirit? Why?

[quirkwall]

[ rubs her forehead ]

If I'm remembering correctly, Justice by then had already possessed another body but they were already deceased. During a mission they were on, something went clearly wrong and they ended up joining? [ grey warden nonsense noises. meanwhile, I, ari, make incomprehensible noises at the wiki ] So not too much of a choice there. So now they're simply stuck with each other.

[halved]

What the hell... I've never heard of someone accidentally fusing with one like that.

[quirkwall]

[ SHRUGS ]

Needs, Musts, I suppose. Someting about the body Justice was residing in was already rotting and Anders being the perfect person presently to make his vision see light.

[ not that.... it ended very well..................... ]

I'm not nearly read enough on the intricacies of magic and possession to understand how this works.

[halved]

Ew. And your friend, he's okay with that...?

[quirkwall]

[ shrugs vaguely. she's pretty sure anders realized his uh oh five minutes into this nonsense and resigned himself to his fate but ]

These things don't really come with an 'oops, didn't work out, let's see other people' option.

[halved]

So he's just doomed.

[quirkwall]

[ that sure is a grimace of a smile ]

Until death do them part has never been so binding.

[halved]

And even then, you said the spirit was using a corpse before meeting your friend. It could just keep using his body even after he dies...

[quirkwall]

[ she blanches. guess who didn't think about that bit ]

Maker. Hopefully, he'll just return to the fade instead.

[halved]

If your friend's lucky, yeah. Is the fade where spirits come from in your world?

[quirkwall]

Mmhm. It's where all goes after they depart from our world. Depending on who you ask, some stay there, some find peace, and others learn the mysteries of the world to bring back to their people.

[ she huffs a little ]

I'd rather they all stay put and stop causing problems.

[halved]

I'm guessing there isn't a way to block them off from leaving the fade after they enter it.

[quirkwall]

You'd think so with the veil in place, but with the way you hear about things just shitting themselves out of the fade so often it's like the never ending patching of a moth eaten curtain.

[ IF ONLY SHE KNEW... ]
