[So Buck has questions. Many questions, actually. What is that green portal thing he just fell out of? Why is there a sliver of green something that kind of glows like the portal thing that spit him out embedded in his right hand? But probably the most important question on his mind right now is: is that a sentient molten lava creature and is it heading straight for him? (It is, in fact, heading straight for him.)]
Shit.
[He, of course, doesn’t have any of his gear, given that, before this, he was still at the hospital for Maddie’s wedding. And from what he can tell, he seems to be in the middle of some kind of forest, without any easy access to water that he can see. But he does have his blue hoodie, and that’s not nothing, at least.
So he does what any reasonable firefighter would do when confronted by what seems like a magical creature intent on killing him and also trying to avoid thinking too hard about all of the magic surrounding him right now: he sheds his hoodie, holds it out in front of him, and charges at the molten lava creature.]
I don’t know what you are but I’ve totally got this!
II. Kirkwall – Low Town
[Buck still has questions, after arriving in Kirkwall and getting the whole speech about Riftwatch. He feels more than just lost; he feels entirely out of his element. What do you mean he’s now in a place called Thedas that seems like something out of a mediaeval fantasy? What do you mean magic is real, and demons are real, and both are especially dangerous? Part of him is curious but mostly the rest of him is struggling to keep up.
He finds himself in an area of Kirkwall known as Low Town, in what looks like some kind of open market area. He has no money, but he finds himself drawn to various stalls and booths anyway, studying the different baubles, trinkets, and wow, this stall sure does have a whole lot of daggers, knives, and swords.
He knows he sticks out; he can feel various eyes on him, and he wonders if he’ll even notice if someone tries and picks his admittedly empty pockets.
He’s got this, he tells himself, taking a quick, deep breath. He can do this.
He turns to the person standing next to him at a both and decides to at least strike up a conversation.]
So…you come here often?
[Well, he rationalizes after those words leave his mouth, it’s not the worst thing he’s ever said.]
