[ Time for more awkward, yippee!! Except when Siffrin catches sight of him, where they're currently settled outside just have been apparently sky watching? Weirdo, anyways, they do offer a whimsy greeting. ]
Hello, Dead.
[ I KEEP FORGETTING MY FIT CHECK even though this is just their default clothes this isn't important but it's there. in their hands, they're cradling their white Egg. ]

[ this is Quite the Hat but he won't comment on it. mages do love a good silly hat. anders has also changed into home attire, so he looks like a giant, bedraggled crow. hooray! someone really likes feathers.
rolling his eyes at this, but, he gets it. he's already playing this game with mizu too. ]
... Anders.

... Anders.
[ It's a good hat, Jim. Also I personally won't judge Anders for his feather attire I always loved it when I played.
At that mention of name, Siffrin does blink a few before lips curl in a cat-like smile. That was easier than they expected? Huh. ]
Anders, then. [ A curious head tilt now as he takes in the other's attire. ] Are those clothes from.. home?

[ drowns him like a feathery rat. he looks down and then back up like he's forgotten what he's wearing, and then shrugs. ]
Yes. They serve the purpose. [ he used to be a lot more vain, but. he hasn't been in years. ] I assume you brought the ... hat. It's big.
[ its big. ]

It's not a style I've seen during any of my travels.
[ Which is said curiously. Visiting different countries, there's quite a few styles you get familiar seeing and all. ]
All of this is just what I normally wear. ..I've had them for as long as I can remember. [ A gloved hand tilts pulls down a little at the brim of their hat. Big. Big hat. ] A lot of the kids like to call me a wizard because of it though.

I doubt it's a style seen anywhere. It's not exactly typical mage garb, but I swore I'd never wear the skirts again when I left the Wardens.
[ pants are a symbol of the rebellion. wizard isn't exactly a typical mage word either, though it apparently exists in dragon age. that said, the hat does sort of scream Wizard. ]
And are you? A mage?
[ pants are a symbol of the rebellion. wizard isn't exactly a typical mage word either, though it apparently exists in dragon age. that said, the hat does sort of scream Wizard. ]
And are you? A mage?
..the Wardens? Are mages more common there?
[ Ever curious, not that mage is all that common of a term to them but they can understand in this context at least. ]
Hmmm... Not exactly as spell casting as you expect with wizards and I guess mages. [ From what kids like to imagine. Though he does make a weird gesture, a gloved hand making a "scissors" sign.] Craft magic is just something you know at any age, no matter where you're from, so it's not anything special. It's pretty common?
So I'd say I'm more just a simple traveler.

The Grey Wardens. They recruit anyone they can take - mages included.
[ but he's a little districted by. craft magic. the scissors sign is so confusing in this context. ]
Craft magic being ... ? They let you travel as a mage?

[ Their single eye still has some of that curiosity at the mention, but since he seems distracted.. they don't mind focusing on his questions first. The travel mention gets a nod before he thinks of how to reply to the first question. ]
Uh, I think the textbook explanation is that Craft magic is.. [ Try to remember, try to remember.. ] "the art of sculpting the many facets of the world to one’s desires." It's everywhere and used by everyone. Whether it's in battle, or outside it. Long as you know the appropriate ritual to cast the spell, you can use it.
There are three main types of Craft that's used, you kinda grow into a specific type but nothing is stopping anyone from learning all three.
[ Right, their scissors sign which they wiggle a little for emphasis. ]
I'm Scissors Craft, which is also known as the Piercing Craft, which has the scissors sign for its ritual.

[ right sure that makes sense. magic has different schools, including this incredibly charming adorable type. ]
Do any of them cast fireball?

[ IT SURE HAS BEEN A FUCKING DAY
well anders will be hanging around Whoville until pretty late at night, when it's actually quieter and calmer and there aren't skeletons everywhere. ]
Jarring, after everything that just happened this weekend.

Or off your feet entirely.
[ it is kind of nice and peaceful, rather than loud and bright and full of ... jingling. ]
What do you think? Of everything that happened.

What do you think? Of everything that happened.
[ Definitely a more ideal time, and Siffrin isn't as tense with the familiarity of night and peeking of stars. They peer up as they settle and listen. ]
..It doesn't really make sense to me. I've never had to do anything like a Trial before, or witness an expulsion. [ So it's still very.. jarring? ] But the angels said it was a one time thing, and that they'll try to do what they can to help the people we lost.
[ Everyone's Charlie... ] I can't help thinking that.. maybe something is broken with Heaven.

They ... said that Charlie at least is still somewhere. I don't know how much of that to believe, but it can be true of Spirits. If they die, or are harmed in some way, they maybe reform over time. They may not remember their past, or even at first their purpose, but they can still live on.
[ that is maybe cope, though. ]
Maybe the thing that is broken with Heaven is us.

[ Coming to the beach beach, which Siffrin was already on the way here anyways so it works out. Slows down, steps quiet as they peer at him. Heya bud..... ]
..Anders. Hello.
[ Asking how he is may as well be a slap to the face so they don't say it. ]
..Anders. Hello.
[ Asking how he is may as well be a slap to the face so they don't say it. ]
[ he's just sitting extremely pathetically in the sand, watching the ocean. his face is bruised and bloody still, since he hasn't bothered to clear it up, barely looking over when he hears his name. ]
... If you're looking for an explanation, I don't have one.
... If you're looking for an explanation, I don't have one.
I'm not here for one.
[ Quietly, they sit down on the sand as well, but leaving Anders his space to avoid suffocating him. Though they do pause, tuck a bit into their cloak and pull out a bottle of water that they drip a little onto a handkerchief.
They'll quietly hold out the lightly damp handkerchief to him. ] ..Just wanted to check on you.

[ he'll take it, if only for something to do with his hands. ]
I have failed him. Again and again. And this time more than before - I have ruined his chance at life.

[ Their own hands return to their lap as the item is taken, quiet, listening. ]
You tried to help him today. What happened, you aren't at fault. Whatever is... [ Breaking? Twisting them here in Heaven? That's to blame. ] ..The angels said that - their God, it's always listening. It won't always answer, but maybe... maybe they can do something about those souls if we ask.
[ The souls that are being broken. ]

I don't know how I feel about that.
[ asking a god for help. ]
The Maker is absent, in my experience. He does not hear us, does not care to.

[ ..That's fair. After all, it's the same for them. ]
..I understand. Where I'm from.. it's the Universe for us. The Universe leads, and we can only follow. But.. it feels like, no matter what, the Universe isn't there. But still we follow. [ And oh, do they follow. ] Makes it difficult to trust anything else.
[ If what they believed won't hear them, what says something else will? ]

Maybe we should stop asking. Start demanding.
