There are nine thousand tales in the City of Chains...

[tallishtales.livejournal.com]

But I'll wager not one of them is quite like mine. And now, here I am in a whole new city of stories, all of them just piled up and waiting to be told, and nobody with any real flair to tell them until now.

So! Fellow refugees of narrative! Let me know why your story needs to be told. I'll make you famous. Immortal, you could say. And my rates are very reasonable. You can find me any evening down at the Nancing Phony (and never was an inn better named), and assuming you're properly heroic, we should be able to work out a distribution deal pretty painlessly.  Varric Tethras, at your service.

All right. I think I get... the general picture.

Karkat's the self-righteous one who lead you all into disaster.

Sol is the low-blood your future Empress paid attention to.

The future Empress herself, though -- you still haven't given me a name for her. And if you named the one who came back from the dead, I missed it.

Rainbow-drinker. That's a tantalizing little descriptor. Before we finish, and you have to deal with... I'm guessing Sollux... care to explain just what it means?

How delightfully chilling.

All right, Horns. Give me a few days to polish this jewel of a tale, and then we'll make you famous.
