SENDER: Sidony Venaras
RECIPIENT: The Inquisition
WHAT: Complaints box!
WHEN: Now
WHERE: In her rooms
NOTES: N/A

I have been tasked with addressing recent complaints and, well. I'm not sure what to make of any of this, truly. Have things hit such dire straights?

[ There's a shuffle of papers as Sidony begins to read. ]

'The wine is very bad'. Yes, well, ser, you get what you pay for. Perhaps you ought to dig a little deeper and purchase wine that does not affront your tongue? Either that or make some arrangements to have it imported. I'm sure Orlais would adore the business, with things as they are. Where there's a will there's a way, wouldn't you say?

[ Clearly, Sidony is not going to be the most tender of people when it comes to Inquisitorial complaints.

Then there's a soft sound of frustration. ]

I'm not even sure I can read this one. I think that if someone wishes to submit a complaint they should make it legible first, don't you? I can at least try, since it seemed so dearly important - If you are to steel - steal, I think? - cloths... Steal from the rich next time. Is this really something worth the complaints box? Try the guards next time, that might get you somewhere. Or lock your doors.

[ Muffled: Ser Pizzicagnolo, I thought this box was for legitimate complaints? A scoff, until finally - ]

Whoever requested an assistant for the Seneschal, consider yourself in luck. I have taken the task of complaints from his hands today, so that he might focus his attention elsewhere. You're quite welcome. Of course, if you wish to leave other complaints you might find it in it's usual place.

Comments

[bouchonne]

But we are all here risking our lives. Don't we deserve good wine? For our sacrifice?

[sarcophage]

Of course we do.

And that's a fine idea, having it imported. Someone should alert the Quartermaster.

[bouchonne]

Someone should start a campaign. To hell with all this nonsense with the Divine; let's have him see to the issues that actually matter.

[reshapes]

Oh this should be good. I love to hear what people think is worth complaining about.

[Ha ha, dripping sarcasm.]

[coquettish_trees]

[ speaking slowly and with irregular pacing, as if right along with the writing of it: ]

Response to complaints delivered with too much insincerity.

[faithlikeaseed]

How many layers down d'you think we can go on complaining about complaints?

[rathercommon]

Oh, honestly, Lexie, all of this insincerity - on both sides - is a bit of a problem. We ought to have a well-regulated system for airing grievances.

voice.

[hornswoggle]

Well, I think bad wine is always worth complaining about.

[ give john the complaints box please ]

But surely this person, they could steal a better vintage if they set their mind to it.

[ there are 2 kinds of people ]

voice.

[indissection]

Clearly they have not considered all of their options.

[hornswoggle]

I wouldn't count them out entirely. They'd just like someone else to register their complaint. People are funny that way.

[meds4sale]

The wine is rather sour.

[indissection]

Then I suggest you drink elsewhere.

[meds4sale]

[Nope he's going to enable the fuck out of this tomfoolery]

Must all of it be made of grapes?

[ebeje]

Surely together, we might find a way ease some of these hard-working souls' troubles, no?

Their unslaked thirst, at least.

[indissection]

[ Oh, she knows this voice. ]

I think many suggestions have been made.

[ebeje]

But none that satisfy you?

[aenseidhe]

Will we be starting a committee for the proposed 'steal from the rich next time' suggestion? I volunteer.

[indissection]

I feel as though I must protest on principle, ser.

[aenseidhe]

It was worth the attempt, at least.

voice

[rowancrowned]

The solution is obvious, my lady, is it not?

voice

[indissection]

Is it, ser? What have I overlooked?

[rowancrowned]

I hear Tevene wine is very, very good, and as I understand it, the majority of the Venatori are wealthy.

[assistente]

It is less that we are in dire straights, and more that we are giving an opportunity to--to give a voice to the-- issues, that we might not otherwise--

Um. We could suggest, for example, that the concern, over the clothing, could be addressed by submitting a request to Base Operations for the inspection of the locks and--and then in due time, after processing, and all, we could-- well, there would be someone dispatched. To examine. And that could solve it.

Or start toward it. At least.

[Um.]

And-- my thanks, Venaras. For the. Assistance.

[It's no less halting than usual.]

im sorry salvio

[indissection]

Then perhaps that is something I could do for you? I would not like to make more work for you, Ser Pizzicagnolo. You are far too busy as it is.

[ Said with great flow and tenacity, of course. ]

And you are most welcome. I am glad to have been able to be of any aid.

his life is pain but he's a masochist so

[assistente]

No. I mean--thank you. But this is sufficient, for now, and you have--your own duties to attend to, and your own... pursuits, and I would not take you from them. Should there be something that requires, any additional--

This is-- I mean, there is something satisfying. I think. In this sort of work. Or so I have been finding.
