RP: Open

[biotic_boss]

Somewhere deep under the fortress called Skyhold, behind a metal barred door, a beast of a woman was hanging from a wall by chains. However, while the beast was unconscious, nothing could be done. Aria had spent a good while standing over the unconscious form, waiting for the human to wake up again, but nothing came of it. She scoffed at it and left the room with a steady stride. Behind her, she'd slammed the door, bending the frame with her biotics so even lockpicks would be useless on it.

The trek back to the ground level of the castle was uneventful. Aria had taken a different route, one that would bypass the two women she'd left lying on the floor. Maybe they were still alive. She didn't know, and she didn't really care. Finally, the narrow passages and stairways opened up. The Great Hall--which she had only been through once yet--was empty.

Her boots made dull clicking noises that echoed into the high ceiling as she advanced up the hall. Anyone else might feel small, being alone in such a grand space. Aria didn't. She had presence, and purpose, and a prize in her view.

Standing before the large chair, Aria took a moment to look it over. It was hideous. She wanted her couch in Afterlife, but this would do for now. Sitting in the throne gave her a sense of ease. This was familiar. She sank slowly into a lounging position, but as she did so, she began to realize something that made her more than a little uncomfortable.

It was too quiet.

RP: Daylen (NSFW Ahead)

Alistair came awake briefly during the night (day? how was time even told around here, with no sun to mark the hours?) as something in the castle rumbled, his sense of the ambient magic in the fortress vibrating like a plucked harp string. But the bed was warm and his arms were full of a comfortable, sleeping mage. After a moment, Alistair made up his mind - he maneuvered himself and Daylen under the bed's blankets and drifted back off to sleep.

There were plenty of people out and about in Skyhold who could handle whatever problem that was. Right now, he needed to be here more than he needed to be a hero.
