inquisition puts on a play of the events of dragon age 2 to improve morale for the troops except”
- they get it horribly wrong
- it becomes a romeo and juliet esque play
- it’s about anders and seb being starcrossed lovers who die in a blaze of glory rather than admit they’ll never see eye to eye on the mage/templar war
- hawke plays anders
- adaar inquisitor plays seb
- iron bull plays merrill
- blackwall and cassandra wrote it
- cole plays carver
- dorian and vivienne do special effects
- music is provided by the chargers
- cullen has to play all the background roles
- including hawke’s mom
- everyone in the inquisition loves it
- it becomes a regular feature to perform
- after a few months varric awkwardly admits that was closer to the real thing than his own book
- cullen cant play himself someone else has to play him
- its probably sera
- she doesnt bother memorizing lines she just improvises and varrics just ‘yeah thats about right’
after some careful thought, i decided to add onto this:
- there is a lot of swooning on adaar’s part
- “the prince’s frail and fragile state”
- “i said FRAIL and FRAGILE”
- “oh, right”
- [[throws self dramatically into hawke’s arms]]
- [[breaks hawke’s arm by accident]]
- there are two hecklers per show. everyone thinks they’re part of the show.
- meredith is played by Jim
- after they capture him, Samson plays himself
- except he’s not allowed to walk around so they keep him in a cage and roll him from scene to scene
- cole stops the play at least twice cos he keeps reading the real peoples the characters are based off of’s hurt
- also because he doesn’t know how to swing a big sword
- eventually they replace it with a broom taped to a cardboard cutout
- his heavy armor is made of pillows
- the real da2 crew shows up to one of the performances to watch. no one recognizes them because they sit in the back and keep their hoods up
- they think it’s the funniest fucking shit ever
- anders: “that was the WORST show i have ever seen in my life.”
- sebastian: “really? i quite liked the part where i did this”
- [[throws self dramatically into anders’ arms]]
