#at random

[1introvertedsage]

Like ofc I can put on a brave face and handle everything. Right? Ofc. It’s just that people sometimes exhaust me. And going to sleep and doing it again is sometimes not enough time to breath.

if i made videos of me rambling about my chickens would people watch them or is that a waste of efforrt

[byc0n3j0]

I was supposed to draw, but instead I spent an hour on Pinterest looking at Dragon Age tattoos because my friend’s getting me another tat this year for my birthday. Then I just stared into the void while listening to FOB, hyperfixating on my Warden, my Hawke, my Rook, and all my Inquisitor headcanons. As you can imagine, I directed a whole movie in my head. Too bad the person who’s supposed to make those animatics and write the fics barely has time to exist properly, lmao

Citizens [Cliffjumper] and [Sierra Renee Sutherland] of Universal Stream [Uniend 724.27 Iota],

It has come to our attention that you have had unsanctioned contact with the multiverse. You are hereby ordered by Officer [REDACTED] of the Axiom Nexus Security Administration to report your activities, and may be subject to further investigation. You are required to appear before a panel to state your case on the following date: [ERROR: DATA CORRUPTED].

Failure to comply will result in a warrant for your arrest.

This message is hereby approved by Officer [REDACTED]

Dux non Intruitus

...um.

Um.

Now, see, this is exactly the sort of thing that Cliff would've dismissed as a scam back before the War, and also sounds like it would fit right in with some weird phishing scams he's seen on Earth. 'Dire warning', 'limited info', 'threat to comply before worse stuff happens', etc etc.

That said.

There has been so much nonsense since he got dumped head first into finding out about the greater multiverse at large, with poor Sierra unwittingly brought along for the ride, that Cliffjumper is honestly to the point of wondering if there really IS some kind of inter-dimensional police force he's now gonna have riding his skidplate.

Because it's been just that kind of year.

Valiantly holding back a whiny groan, Cliff saves the mystery memo on his datapad, and goes looking to see if anyone else has maybe heard of this "Non-Intrusive Leader" or however the sign-off phrase is meant to be translated...
