◇ ix; templars rule mages drool
[Hawke wakes up this morning feeling just like her usual self. At least, her personality is largely unchanged - she's just as bizarre and sarcastic as ever - but her beliefs and ideals have been turned upside down. Rather than rooting for the "little guy" in Kirkwall - its mages, that is - she despises any and all to do with magic, born from her resentment of her father and sister, and the hardships keeping their secret brought down on her. And that resentment only blossomed into complete hatred after what happened to her mother. So, determined to eliminate the mage threat, she sided with the templars, and the name "Hawke" became a reminder of templar oppression for mages throughout Thedas. Having earned the Order's respect, she even served as Viscount of Kirkwall for a time, before disappearing into the sunset.
y e p, just another day.]

Did you know, Mayfield, that I've been here for a year now? ...Well, a year and two months, if you want to nitpick. So much time has passed, and yet we've come no closer to overcoming the magic this town lords over us. [Hawke spits out the word "magic" like it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth, her voice heavy with uncharacteristic hatred. Fenris would be so proud.] What I wouldn't give for some help from a templar friend or fifty right about now. We might benefit from a little structure around here; keep those pesky mages in line.
[ACTION; Church of Salvation]
[Frankly, Hawke is a pretty bad Andrastian. She isn't a templar, nor is she a chanter, and she sure as hell isn't devout. Considering all this, she isn't sure why she's drawn to the church, of all things. Perhaps it's because it resembles the Chantry in Kirkwall, if just a little bit, and she longs for anything that reminds her of home. Maybe it's because she remembers Sebastian, and how he was convinced that she was doing the Maker's work, defending the people from the mage threat.
Mostly, she thinks, she just wants to light a candle and remember all that's been lost because of magic. Religion is not her forte, but she'll pray for the deceased, regardless. She owes her mother that much, if nothing else.]

[This is a joke. Right? Hawke's just drunk, or something like that. And having one over on him.]
Keeping -- Hawke, are you all right?
[phone]
[phone]
Or approve their methods, either.

'Some mage lover'?
Are you serious? Is this some sort of joke? You've always been... you've always supported us.

[phone]
No. You can't be -- I trusted you!
[phone]
[phone]
And I thought you cared. Not only about mages, but about me, Hawke. Was that also nothing but a lie?
[phone]
[phone]
The entire time I've known you, you were nothing more than a lying, deceitful templar sympathizer.

[A sigh. She is going to feel like the biggest asshole of the century when this is over, but for right now, she's just frustrated - as this version of Hawke so often is, when it comes to Anders.]
Now, now, there's no need to start calling me names. I've made no secret of how I feel about templars and mages, so I don't understand why you're getting your knickers in a twist about it now.
[phone]
Lies upon lies! What good do they do for you, here? Your beloved templars are nowhere to be found!
[phone]
Maker's teeth, I didn't think it possible, but this place has driven you even madder.

[s i g h]
We're going in circles, and frankly, I'm getting dizzy. Are you done ranting yet?
[phone]
Yes.
We--
[phone]
We're finished.
[phone] OW RIGHT IN THE FEELS
...Very well. Have it your way, mage.
