Salutations and warm felicitations, Riftwatch...-ers? Agents? [Slightly more distant here as Wysteria turns her face to address someone else in the room.] Which would you say sounds better? Do you suppose we ought to have a poll for that as well?
Oh, simply ‘Watchers’, I should think. It sounds terribly daring. [ Unsurprisingly, given the content, “someone else in the room” is Alexandrie.
Anyway. As if reading from a page:] We, 'we' being the founding members and administration, would like to extend an open invitation for all to sign up for the Officially Unofficial Riftwatch Croquet League - otherwise known as the Oh-You-Are-Sea-El. Teams shall be organized by groups of three. If you don't have two friends eager to play, though I cannot imagine who would possibly refuse, then teammates will be assigned to you. The season will be eight weeks long, culminating in a championship tournament in early August. To qualify for the tournament, you must participate in at least five games in the run up. The winning team will receive--
A stripe of gilding on the handle of their mallets—which they shall then be oathsworn not to pawn—a modest though not insubstantial purse, and automatic qualification for the tournament year next. Which I imagine shall be enough to inspire you to go to even greater heights to preserve the world. No world, no tournament year next!
Experience is no barrier. We'll have a demonstration game first, and you can always clarify the rules and requirements with any founding member of the Oh-You-Are-Sea-El. Which are, respectfully, myself, the dear Lady de la Fontaine, and--
Our own most beloved Merrill, companion of the Champion of this very city.
[ if a Dalish elf can play a silly noble’s game, you can do it too! (Nevermind that the Dalish elf was not informed of her participation or role in the league until this very moment. Hi Merrill!) ]
You may sign up on the board in the courtyard. There is space for both those who are individuals looking for a team, and those who have already, during the course of this announcement, decided upon their team names and mascots.
And now we will open the floor to questions. If you have none, then of course we wish you all the best and look forward to your appearance at the demonstration match. Date to be decided.
