In Hushed Whispers
Characters: Ellana Lavellan, Akane Kurashiki, Vincent Valentine, Duster, Sephiroth, Mary Reed and K'pandolu Tohka, should they accept the invitation.
Where: Palitutu's Lab
When: November 17th, onward through the month
Summary: It's yet another lining up to summon the thing! ...With a few post-Shadow prompts incoming later.
Warnings: Death, nihilism, Shadows being shadows...
On the 14th, the few who at least knew of her or visited Thedas months prior would receive a message directly from Falon.
Greetings,
I, like many others, have deigned to summon my Calamity Self. As the 17th is one of the few days this month I shall be in Aqures Ixen, it will be the earliest opportunity to do so. With the encroaching corruption, it seems wise to get this over with sooner rather than later, thus I shall be heading for the laboratory in the afternoon.
It's rather difficult for me to ask of this, but I would like to request your support in this endeavor. Creators only know how well this will go.
Regards,
Ellana Lavellan
She is true to her word as well, after having a cup of tea for her nerves, she headed straight for Palitutu's Laboratory, Falon hanging on her shoulder after handing the other moogle technicians her Crystal. "I'm right here, kupo. Deep breaths."
"I know, Falon." She reached up to pet his head, but the moment she did, another her stepped out of the shadows and scowled. Purple eyes were not the only distinguising marks on her, as the other self hid her neck with a khaki scarf, light iron shoulder guards over a green traveler's tunic... faded deep green markings covering her face.
"Lavellan garas quenathra? Ma banal las halamshir var vhen." It glared daggers at the real Ellana, before turning to any who answered her request for aide. "Well, what a merry band of misfits you have gathered here. Still looking to others for guidance, I see... A regular bully, aren't we? And they're all shems, as well!"
Somehow, the way the Calamity Self used that word was likely a grave insult to every non-elf in the room.
"...She asks why I came, when I contribute nothing to further our cause." Ellana translated, unphased by the insult. Though despite her calm tone, her left hand twitched ever-so-slightly. "I fail to see how asking for a few to accompany me here is 'bullying' however. Care to enlighten me?"
"Must I? After all, you never went anywhere unless you had three friends to follow your every word. A lowly elf, no less!" Ellana barely repressed a sigh of annoyance, and the Other grinned. "And 'our cause'? How quick you are to forget the teachings of the People. Not that I am surprised; you seem to stumble into things far beyond our capabilities even before you awakened to this particular call." The Other Ellana paced back and forth, armor glinting in the light. "After all, you volunteered to go spy on the shems, even knowing that your brother was more than capable of making the journey, and because of it, you have what? One? Two years, perhaps? Yet instead of living to groom the Second to take your place, you went off to play hero in a war not your own."
"Incorrect. Any war that can shake the world to the extent that it threatens all life is everyone's war." Ellana was quick to shoot down, beginning to circle her Shadow as well. "Even if I should agree with the sentiment behind that, it isn't as though I would go back and change a single action."
"Even your exiling the very people who saved the same world from the Blight ten years prior?" Shadow Ellana countered, and when Ellana had no rebuttal, it laughed. "How rich, coming from the one who became a founding member of their inquisition. You were their figure, their symbol, saving their pathetic world from their own mess... You are nothing but a slave to fate and chance, fighting to save a dying world from the sins of it's people. Again."
Ellana shrugged. "You speak as though this is something I haven't known since the day I joined the Inquisition. So, unless you have nothing but disparaging and degrading commentary to our comrades, I suggest getting to the point."

"No, it's never pointless to fight for the hope of a new dawn."
"Aw, look at you... You almost sound like an Andrastian. Going to bend your knee and recite the Chant of Light at me, now?" It laughs. "No, you never would... You're too proud to admit you believe in a fairy tale like that. Too afraid that it might just have been true; even if nothing else about you is, Herald of Andraste."
