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.

[Oh, there goes that scrap of anonymity. Ah well; hopefully no one is still listening to them prattle on.]

Happy to meet you, Messere. And of course I'd say the same - about service, I mean. Should you need assistance with anything that I might be useful for, don't hesitate to make it known.

[He realizes what he'd said in his enthusiasm only well after it's said. Score one for being able to keep these things appropriately secret--

Well, better next time and since she'd allowed as how that bit of her magic wasn't working right, it was--perhaps--not so bad as it could've been.]

Oh, gladly--we need all the help we can get here, most days, [dryly.] Though I'd not like to steal you from whatever else you're doing--who're you working with, if you don't mind my asking? Which projects?

[heirring]

Oh please, I'm really quite eager to be put to work. Right now I'm in the Research Division and I've mostly been assisting poor Seneschal Pizzicagnolo [driving him into an early grave] and tending to some of the gardens [badly]. I wouldn't mind something a little more stimulating.

--not that the Seneschal's work is dull, of course. It's very important.

[and lame.]

[faithlikeaseed]

But he's got a zeal for it that's hard to match, hm? [which is to say: he'd be dying doing paperwork himself.]

Well--I don't know I've anything more stimulating than more paperwork at this point, but I've thought it might be good to have a rifter on board this project with us. Make it clear it's a willing joint effort and, mm. [He breaks off, gives a thoughtful little hum as he thinks precisely how to say what he wants without triggering any further outbursts--

Though truth be told he's likely already done that by suggesting they add a rifter to the group.]

--Well, you might think of things we'd overlook. Have a better idea what the risks and difficulties of all of this are, so we do better with 'em.

threadnecromancy; don't feel obligated to tag this but also wysteria is totally joining this project

[heirring]

[The sound of her voice over the crystal brightens considerably. It's a strangely pleasant thing, isn't it? Being told your perspective on a thing might be valuable.]

Well, if you think I could be any sort of helpful at all then I don't see why not. It sounds like great fun. --Even the paperwork. I think you'll find I'm very passionate about that sot of thing given the right motivation. [A lie, but a very small one and in the moment she feels like she's being honest. So does it really count as being untrue?] And it sounds like a fantastic opportunity to learn a bit more about the Chantry.
