Report Form

Use this form to post reports after you run a plot, and make sure you use the correct tags so people can easily find previous reports on a given subject.

<font face=georgia><b>SUBJECT:</b></font> What’s this about? <font face=georgia><b>PARTICIPANTS:</b></font> Who was involved? <font face=georgia><b>CLASSIFICATION:</b></font> Public / Private for X — to specify if anyone in Riftwatch can read it, or if only certain people can <font face=georgia><b>DATE FILED:</b></font> No shame in backdating <font face=georgia><b>STATUS:</b></font> Ongoing / Complete / Abandoned <font face=georgia><b>SUMMARY:</b></font> Briefly, what is this plot/report about? Stick to 2-3 sentences. E.g., "A team went to Orlais to attempt to acquire the perfect cheese. Bandits ate it before they arrived, but in exchange for killing the bandits in vengeance, the dairy owner gave them his secret recipe." Try to include the resolution, as in the example, rather than being mysterious—this is what people will use to quickly reference past events. <font face=georgia><b>REPORT:</b></font> The actual IC report delivered to the leadership and archived in the records. This can be as short or as long as your character would make it and should (hopefully) (if your character isn't a total slacker) include plot-relevant information, such as the cheese recipe. <font face=georgia><b>NEXT STEPS:</b></font> Did this mission lay the groundwork for something in the future? Are there loose ends, like a villain who escaped alive or a mystery that remains unsolved, that may need to be followed up on? Decisions that need to be made or implemented? (It’s fine if the answer to these questions is no.) <font face=Georgia><b>NOTES & LINKS:</b></font> Any other notes, links to relevant logs or inbox threads, etc.

NOTES: that's right I'm following up!
think of this like a signup sheet, if your character expresses interest I'll either write up a small log or send you a blurb on what they witnessed at the show, for you to do with as you see fit.

Riftwatch, [ brightly, someone has a new project she's set herself on, ] two questions, if you'll indulge me—

First, what is your favourite place in Thedas? Second, I have a project in mind for Archives. Please let me know if you would be amenable to participating in a series of interviews relating to your experiences in Riftwatch—particularly those among us who have been here for years, though all stories are welcomed.

SENDER: Cosima
RECIPIENT: Rifters (others opt-in)
NOTES: Catch-all for threads about amputation (so content warning for that being discussed, though I don't expect anything too bloody). Happy to match prose or brackets, as ever. See further notes under the cut.

[ it's around midday when a hesitant, distinctly fereldan voice comes over everyone's crystals. ]

Grood day, Riftwatch. My name is Connor, I'm a... guest of your organization. I have a question for... well, anyone who will answer me.

You're all here to fight Corypheus and his cultists, but there are a number of organizations, institutions, even nations arrayed against him already. You could have joined an army, or been an agent of the Maker's divine will in the Exalted March. Why did you choose Riftwatch? What brought you here, specifically?

And... I know there are those who have to stay here. You with the anchor shards, like the Herald, Maker rest her, and... Rifters.

[ still not sure you all aren't demons, honestly, but if the chantry says you're not... ]

Would you leave, if you could? Join an army, or the March? Or even just... flee to the furthest reaches of Thedas and hope the war didn't find you?

[ a long, uncomfortable pause. ]

Also. If anyone has... odd jobs. Paying, that is. Or a line on a local business in need of a temporary employee. I would appreciate any leads to that effect.

[ awkwardly, ] Thank you.

SENDER: Madame de Cedoux
RECIPIENT: Viktor + Dr Strange
NOTES: Discussion of amputation will follow.
references: wysteria broaches it, discussing with marcus + julius, seeking medical advice.

( madame de cedoux’s voice is particular, recognisable: pleasant, measured, her accent ever so slightly off-orlais, the diction and cadence of her speech always that little bit more clipped and cut-glass than is commonplace in the halls of orlesian power. still, it is habit to begin, )

This is Madame de Cedoux,

( despite the fact they can almost certainly hear, immediately, that it is. )

I am contacting you — both — regarding the matter of future amputation of my anchor-shard, as I have previously discussed with Madame de Fonce and Dr Strange. believe it would be appropriate and, I can only assume, useful to begin planning for a prosthesis whilst I have a healthily attached limb for comparison…? It seems to me that this would dictate, somewhat, the time frame of proceeding, and— well, particularly considering recent events it seems increasingly absurd to delay the matter further.

Madame de Fonce had offered me, at one point, the lend of her own. It was not my wish, but I understand that the work done on it was particular.
