FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Tony Stark
RECIPIENT: All
NOTES: You can find the record being referred to here as a spreadsheet. Feel free to update your character's info if needed and if they would, but leave the structural integrity and data-synthesising to K2's capable paws.

You know what's fun? Paperwork. I for one think we could use more of it, and I'm extremely so excited to announce that an officially maintained list of rifters will be kept by the Research division going forwards. We are, after all, Riftwatch, not Riftwhat?

Anyway.

Enchanter Doctor Isaac has kindly volunteered to keep an accurate record, and I encourage all rifters to check in and update any information that might not be accurate, like your species, whether you have magical ability, or if you're a scientist. I guess.

I'm also collecting data on where your rift spat you out, location-wise. We're working on an early warning detection system for rifter emergence events, and the map we have is incomplete. So help us make it not incomplete, like a bro would.

In the spirit of transparency, please don't use this record for any secret reasons. Bye.

[littlemissfutility]

What're you using the rest of the information for?

[propulsion]

Satinalia. Fantasy Christmas. I'll be added a naughty and nice column forthwith.

[littlemissfutility]

They have that here? Seems like we're pretty far from the North Pole.

[innerharbor]

What counts as a scientist?

[propulsion]

May need to doublecheck with Isaac about that. I think it's anyone he feels threatened by, probably in a handsome way.

[innerharbor]

Who's Isaac and why's he get to decide?

[rowancrowned]

One might come to make an assumption about blondes, given your data.

I had a map of the Rifts. It may have made its way into my items when I moved. I will see it returned.

[propulsion]

That they have more fun?

[ But— ]

Thanks. How up to date is it, at this point?

[rowancrowned]

Enough in Thedas to keep us here.

The first fifteen Rifts, numbered and connected in order. I could update it before I return it, if you would like. Only the ones that spawned Rifters, I assume.

private...d...

[acreage]

It's a good idea to make the list public.

[propulsion]

Thanks. Shocking amount of compliance already, normally folks hate it when people do things.

[acreage]

Yeah, [ dry, ] I wonder why people wouldn't like the idea of being on a list they didn't know about.

[ he hadn't been thrilled, himself, but it's hard to say if he would've felt better about it if it'd come from a friendlier face than isaac. ]

But we all want answers. That probably made it easier to swallow.

[bouchonne]

[ Poutily: ]

Well, I'm feeling very un-special.

[propulsion]

Well, we can't have that. What's got you down?

[bouchonne]

It's so kind of you to ask. I feel like no one ever keeps records of me.

[notathreat]

Really basic stuff here other than the "scientist" checkmark.

[A point in favor of him, by her tone. And she'll fill it out, mostly because Ellis vouched for him.]

[propulsion]

Narrows the margin of error. Are you a scientist?

[notathreat]

I wish. But nah, I just know loads of space trivia that doesn't actually apply here. And how to make a bomb out of stuff in a garage.

[clawings]

Definitely claiming that 'scientist' title.

[propulsion]

I mean, it's a low bar to clear. I'd give it to the backyard bomb girl too.

[clawings]

Hey, the more the merrier.

[katabasis]

How do you intend to safeguard this information?

[propulsion]

It'll be kept in the Research division records, so if you're not Riftwatch, there's a whole lot of fortress to get to first.

[rezni]

What counts as magical ability? I suspect I have several skills that might qualify.

[propulsion]

List 'em. I'll yay or nay.
