Hello, Riftwatch. I can't tell from observation if it's the custom to give an introduction--I think it's not--but I prefer this to waiting to catching everyone one-by-one in the hallway or training yard. I'm Lady Seeker Theophania Hart. [Well.] Tiffany. I do the title first so there's no surprise later.

I'm among the newest of your company, permanently, but here to investigate the recent abomination. I'll be requesting records and following up on the leads that I have throughout the course of my work, but if anyone has anything additional that should be said, please, let me know.

For the record, I'm finding the Gallows to be surprisingly comfortable, but maybe that's because I've been on the road for what feels like an actual Age, and the weather is terrible, and I'm suffering what I believe to be a mild case of trench foot. Given the time you've all been having, I'll stop my complaining there.

I suppose that's it, unless anyone has any advice to offer to a new recruit. And you can skip any hazing, I'm much too old for it.

We've traded names, no? And if I were to cook for you, it seems only reasonable to assume we would be meeting properly at some point in the process.

[fairforce]

Does this mean that I do qualify?

[highborn]

Why -- it seems to, doesn't it?

[fairforce]

Lucky me.

What's your specialty?

[highborn]

Spices. Where do you stand with them?

[fairforce]

I find that they're usually the most exciting thing in a meal, especially when that meal is boiled fish, again.

[highborn]

A kindred spirit. And any favorite dishes I should be aware of? Or, I suppose, least favorite.

[fairforce]

Hmm. I like savory better than sweet. I like vegetables best when they're roasted, and I like wine sauce. For First day, we always have goose roasted with honey and peppers. I think that's my favorite dish. Least favorite... veal pie. But you should make whatever you're best at making.
