FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: A L L
WHAT: Please don't riot about the phylacteries. (yet)
WHEN: Post-negotiations.
WHERE: Gallows! 
NOTES: After this. Specifically, after Iorveth does a property damage and before anyone else can try that.

[ thranduil's voice is tight, if still somehow pleasant: ]

I understand that there are a great number of questions and concerns at the moment regarding the Inquisition's proposed policy of phylacteries for Rifters.

If there are concerns that anyone would wish to make known through official channels, the Research Division has been appointed to handle the research of this new, proposed policy. [ very pointed stressing. ] My office is where it has always been, and any concerns should be turned into the box reserved for correspondence of that nature.

I would remind all Rifters that we are yet considered a single unit. [ remember the curfew? ] That poor behavior will affect all of us- indeed, anyone currently afflicted with a Shard. I would advise them that this is never as true as it is now, and that consequences for actions taken in the heat of the moment are the same as those made when rational.

( oh christ )

So... this is a really bad time to have a research proposal, hey?

[rowancrowned]

[ pleasantly: ] Not in the least. Life must go on.

[periastron]

— Right. Okay, uh—

( hmm )

Should I do that here, since your normal mail box has been repurposed for the phylactery chats?

[rowancrowned]

It has, but as no one has made use of it, there is no chance it would be lost.

[periastron]

Oh, sweet as. Alright, I'll get right to it. Um—

I. I'd uh, I'm not ignorin' the rifter phylactery shit, but I'm just gonna try focus on work so I don't wind up actin' like a shit.

( She plans on drinking heavily, though. )

[rowancrowned]

That is not unwise. It is far better use of your time than--

[ half of the things being said by her division mates.

repeating himself, but warmly: ] I look forward to your proposal.
