[So they’re in Kirkwall, for reasons. And it seems as though there’s been a bit of a murder spree going on... because Kirkwall, and of course they’re the first ones to discover a body because... their luck.
This odd unfortunate fellow seemed to be without a head, and in nothing but his smallclothes. Regular Tuesday in Kirkwall really, not the somewhat odder part was the fact that he had a tattoo of a crudely drawn fish, and someone had thrown cheese over the corpse.]
Well... He’s certainly not getting ahead in life.

I’m sorry, there’s so much to work with here. I’m not even sure where to start.
[Sometimes Hawke wonders if these things just happen in Kirkwall, or if these things just happen to her, or if it's some bizarre combination of the two. Adding in the fact that these things often just happen to the Inquisitor and that all three factors are in play today, and really it would've been more of a surprise for them not to run across a headless corpse today.
The cheese, though, is a surprise.]
Can you say something smells fishy if it's just a drawing of a fish? No, this would be something looking sketchy, wouldn't it...
[She kneels by the corpse, head tilted as she examines it.]
What kind of cheese would you say this is, anyway?
[He spits out almost immediately, but then goes into a strained silence as though he was fighting to hold something back. Lasts all of 3 seconds before he blurts it out finishing off with a snort of laughter.]

I honestly haven't tagged with Hawke for over two years, so apologies for the rust!

This is for fun! Hawke could turn into a chicken and if it was fun I wouldn't care

It must have been grating on him.
