Hey Leliana, I found that map for you!

Oh! You remembered!

Where did you want to sit so that you could show me?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Yup. It's a little dated but it should be fine.

How about the table over there?

[bard-of-orlais.livejournal.com]

You can always explain the differences between the maps and what is actually true. [She understands that political boundaries change, no worries!

She goes over to the table and has a seat, looking forward to her first Earth history lesson!]

....just pretend that's from the 50's...

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Right.

[He goes over and spreds the map (http://geology.com/world/world-map.gif) on the table.]

Right. Now this is Earth.

See that island over here?

[Points to Cuba on the map.]

That's me.

[coming in with an arm in a sling]

A map to what?!

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

A map of the wor-

...what the hell happened you your arm?!

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

I broke it.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

How!

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

I was in the fighting tournament!

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

........








What!

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

.....

[anger...so much. Restrain...]

Why the hell didn't you mention this?

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

Mention what?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

That you were going off to fight in that fighting tournament!

That is one sexy 1950s map there. :D

[A map of the whole world is a rarity in Thedas--so much so that Leliana's never seen one--so she leans in closer to it, marveling at all the countries and the oceans. When Cuba points himself out, she furrows her brow a little.]

You're so tiny!

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

'cause you probably would have said no.

...very :P

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

....yeah. So? I'm not the smallest country.

[issues? What are you talking about.]

Anyway. I used to be ruled by this idiot over here.

[Points out Spain]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why!

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

It's too late now!

:)

[bard-of-orlais.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean anything by it! There's no shame in being a small country if your people are proud of where they are from, yes?

[When Cuba points out Spain, Leliana has to verify from the legend that yes, the two countries are very far from one another.] How did he rule you from so far away? There's an entire ocean between you.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[Annoyed look]

Who broke your arm then?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [Small smile, he's very proud of them.]

Lots of soldiers with guns. And more soldiers.

We were enslaved for a long time by them.

[bard-of-orlais.livejournal.com]

I see. They must have been some empire, if they had those kinds of resources. [There's marvel in her voice, but not necessarily approval.]

And where is this America you disapprove of so much?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Right here.

[Points to the giant thing above him.]

[bard-of-orlais.livejournal.com]

All of that is only one country? [It's huge!]
