Prior to the mission in Orlais, when the entire party is gathered around the War Table: (I understand that not all companions may be recruited at this time, but please go with it)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vivienne: "Inquisitor, hand me your coin pouch."
Inquisitor: "Why?"
Vivienne: (Mumbling to herself...checking her math, 9 x 2, yes, that should suffice) "I need 20 gold coins, please."
Inquisitor: "It's early in our quest, I barely have that much. Why 20 gold?"
Vivienne: "Well, by my estimate, I need at least 18 gold to furnish 9 new sets of outfits for our fashion-challenged companions. Only the 3 advisors are even remotely dressed to appear anywhere in Orlais. And thankfully, they don't leave Stronghold often."
Varric: "Math is not my best subject, but aren't there 13 of us in total, Viv?"
Sera: (Giggles out loud)
Vivienne: (Glares at Sera) "Cole is a lost cause, he doesn't count. Besides, even *I* can only do so much. The Inquisition doesn't have enough money to supply a new outfit every time Cole slips in and out of the Fade. The Fade does horrors to one's clothes and dressing Cole is a full time occupation. Would you have me casting spells or dressing Cole all day long?"
Solas: (Nods in agreement with Vivienne)
Blackwall: (Snoring in the corner) "Zzzz."
Varric: (Counting his fingers) "Again, math is not my best subject...If the Advisors and Cole are out, that leaves 9. Viv, darling, are you counting yourself...?"
Vivienne: (Cuts off Varric) "Of course, but not for the reason you suggest, hairy Dwarf. If everyone else is getting a new outfit, so shall I."
Inquisitor: "Math IS one of my best subjects. What's the extra 2 gold for?"
Vivenne: (Glares across the room at everyone, arms crossed in disgust) "Look at what I have to work with, I need allowances for fashion emergencies. Besides, our companions are no better dressed than the heathen City Elves in Denerim. Dressed such as everyone is, I wouldn't even have them as my servants, let alone as my companions to be seen publicly in the streets of Orlais."
Vivienne: (continuing) "Oh, I almost forgot, add another 10 gold."
Inquisitor: "10 gold more?! For what?!"
Vivienne: "Yes, a mirror in everyone's room so they can see what they look like prior to arriving at the War Table each morning. Everyone must learn to take responsibility for his/her appearance in *this* Inquisition."
Inquisitor: (Looks at Leliana) "You know her from Orlais...Can't you.."
Leliana: (Cuts off Inquisitor) "Maker help us all! Don't look at me."
Varric: "Wait, math is not my..." (Vivienne glares at Varric interrupting him before he can finish his statement, then Varric continues carefully) "Why 10 mirrors if you're only getting 9 outfits?"
Vivienne: "I *need* 2 mirrors. One for the front *and* one for the back. *Please*, Varric, do think before you speak, it's *so* obvious! Everyone in Orlais has at least 2 full length mirrors in their dressing room. And those are the poor Orlesians who don't have enough room to fit 3 or more such mirrors in their dressing rooms."
Iron Bull: (Laughs).
Vivienne: (Fixes her gaze upon Iron Bull) "What are you laughing about, flatulent Qunari?! Don't think that I don't know about how you foul up the air with the bodily gases emanating from your backside everywhere we go. If you expect to be chosen to partake on any further missions, I suggest you develop a habit of having clean, unsoiled undergarments!"
Iron Bull: (Looking sadly at everyone in the room, then drops his head.)
Everyone (except Vivienne and Blackwall, who is still dozing off in the corner): Nods in agreement with Vivienne.
Varric: (to Bull, patting him tenderly on his back): "You know, she *does* have a point there, Horny." (Pun intended.)
Cole: (to Sera, but audible to all) "What is flatulent?"
Cassandra: (Losing patience, she forcefully stabs the War Table map with her dagger) "ENOUGH!"
Blackwall: (Finally wakes up after Cassandra shouts and stands up firm and tall like a true Warden, believing that no one saw him dozing off.)
Cassandra: "Inquisitor, give her the coin she seeks. Now, may we *please* get back to the mission in Orlais!"
