Just when Alaina had started to get used to the idea of this electricity thing, it had gone out. With an earthquake and earthquakes were never good. Ever since, Alaina has been outside, working to help the people who aren't used to the life she is, who have never lived without electricity.

On November 6th, she tosses something up on the network, after her talk with Adam.

If anyone needs help with survival skills while all of this is happening, I can help. I can teach you how to set up camps, hunt, and survive out here. I suggest we try to stick together as much as possible. That will make it harder for anything to sneak up on us. Fires are good for warmth and to cook and I can help with those, but for every fire, there should be at least two to three guards. We don't know what's out here and we can't be caught off guard.

If anyone knows the situation with wildlife out here, I can do a lot of the hunting. I've done it before. I'm setting up camp in town. Anyone is welcome.

We will all survive this if we work together.


By the 15th, her tone has changed.

I don't know what that sky is, but I do know that these things wandering the streets are bad news. I'm a warrior, a champion. If you need help, call me. I'll come and I'm strong. I will protect anyone and my camp is still set up in the middle of town.

No one's dying on my watch.

I can also help people learn to fight. I'm not the trainer Cullen and Cassandra are, but I've been fighting as a warrior for a long time. I'm good with two-handed weapons, but I can do sword and shield if I have to. Sorry, but if you want anything else, you'll have to find another teacher.


(( OOC: feel free to use this as a mingle-type post for camp things and/or finding people / talking to them / getting food and supplies / whatever you need! if you'd like alaina for an action thing, just let me know or specify in your subject header! ))

Resourcefulness and compassion at those levels ... that would be a lot to try to fake, probably close to impossible to fake. [Says the one whose job was to fake things. So. You know.] Seems about as much proof as one would need to confirm that something is real. [Though she also knows there are a lot of people who will deny everything right in front of them.]

I'm guessing if people outside your circle knew, that might put him somehow in more danger than if it's kept quiet? [Also another unfortunate truth: People who do the most good often can't be widely recognized for it because of other outside issues and forces.]

You'd think, but with all of Thedas being afraid of magic -- except for the Imperium, but they're a special breed -- anything that might be magical is something to be afraid of.

[ she's not even kidding about that. just look at vivienne. ]

Most don't believe that spirits are possible, that there are only demons in the Fade. Solas, a mage friend, taught me even before I became Inquisitor that things aren't always what they seem. Spirits exist and I believe Cole is one. Even though what I think is pretty weighty, it isn't enough to convince everyone. I'd rather keep his identity close at hand. I don't want to risk some other mage getting it into his head to try binding Cole. That would corrupt his nature, twist him into a demon. We can't have that.

[ she sounds very, very sure of herself, like the leader she has grown into being lately. her word does have a lot of weight and she knows it, so she's been learning to use that weight to her advantage. ]
