crystal

[wroughtamiss]

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Deacon and Myrobalan
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Confess your weird magic Inquisition
WHEN: Throughout the month
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES:
HERE is the survey sheet if you want to just fill it out that way. HERE are the assignment details. Also if you've got a rifter and/or a non-loyalist mage who'd like to be part of this please PM Deacon's journal and we'll sort it since they'd include one of each to try to get better coverage.
There's the option to self-report via npc if your character wouldn't but you'd like to. If you'd like to report on other characters please check with that player first but I know we got spies and shady folks and that's fun but let's make it fun for everyone!

Greetings Inquisition. In light of the negotiations some of your number participated in there are of course promises to be upheld on the Inquisition's end. Namely concerning magic or abilities those among you called rifters possess not native to Thedas as well as magic outside the Circle.

If you'd complete this survey, you'd have our gratitude. If you will have it, you'll have the Chantry's gratitude too: I needn't have to tell you the importance of not sitting idle, all of you.

We'll be available if you'd rather do this in person but copies of the survey are available in the Chantry Relations office.

As with the medical surveys and the information we’re keeping on the shardbearers, this will be maintained--and transferred to the Chantry--under a cipher. If you’ve further concerns about what might be done with what we’ve gathered, [and Myr’s tone says he very well knows there will be,] I’d ask you bring them to me as the new head of Chantry Relations.

[Not for him this whole formal announcement stuff; or, more likely, he’s had too much on his mind to make one. Nevertheless, a splinter of his usual humor:] I’ll be with the surveys in the office.

[rathercommon]

[ Kitty's voice is bright and innocent. Because she is a LIAR who is LYING but it seems wise to try to appear helpful here. ]

I can't speak to any abilities I've got myself or anything like that, but there's magic back home where I come from. Would talking about that be useful to you, Brother Deacon, Myrobalan?

[faithlikeaseed]

The Chantry's requirements only pertain to magic here on Thedas-- I s'pose one might argue knowing what could fall out of a rift might come useful, someday.

Personally, though, I'd be very interested.

[wroughtamiss]

You're a rifter with an anchor, that alone is a thing the Chantry wish to have an accounting of. I'd hear tell of it as you listened of what history I told you.

[Extend an olive branch. Ready to hit people with if needed. The Deacon special.]

[limier]

[ seen @ 5:22 PM ]

[swordproof]

I am not concerned with the Chantry's thanks - my intention is to aid the Inquisition as best I can. I would like to believe you mean no ill will by this information being shared.

[wroughtamiss]

The Inquisition and the Chantry having good relations will only help the Inquisition and those of you under its banner. The Chantry recognised rifters as people but we are without a Divine still; cooperation would go towards Mothers speaking well. You will be a known quantity and less a thing for them to fear. As Myrobalan says, the information is to be kept safe, it won't be spread far and wide. There is no intention to hurt.

There is a battle to be won.

[heirring]

Pardon, but is there any reason someone with skills like this should be concerned?

[Wysteria, this would have been a better question to ask before you turned in your survey.]

[faithlikeaseed]

[That's not a loaded question at all and Myr answering it this quickly is nothing at all like throwing himself on a live grenade.]

Because Thedas--southern Thedas, under the Chantry's influence--is a place wary of magic, serah.

private

[rathercommon]

I expect so, yeah. You ought to be careful.
