FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Obi-Wan Kenobi
RECIPIENT: EVERYBODY
WHAT: Obi-Wan applies the time-honored Jedi technique of stirring the shit in hopes of producing results
WHEN: Mid-Drakonis-ish
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: For some context or in person action, have This closed log all about Gavin's recent life choices, and this somewhat related open log by Aragorn.

I am a little new here, and perhaps I've missed something important, but is it common practice to lock up innocent people, for no reason? I was given to understand that this organization, this Inquisition, is meant to stand as some kind of bastion for all, a saving grace in the face of sure doom. Or is that just pretty words, to hide the truth?

[He pauses, just for a moment, but despite the lack of visual information, it has all the laser-like focus of a nun's stern disapproval. You have been found wanting, young inquisition. Shame on you.]

Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, for those who might not have heard, seems to have decided that it is appropriate for her to act as judge, jury, and-- well, a law unto herself, concerning the behavior of Rifters. I wonder, with everything else that's happened since my arrival here, if she thinks no one has noticed.

[He means, perhaps, the issue with Anders, among other things. A good strategist knows how to use their shield; the timing wasn't the only suspect thing about all this, but it certainly seemed like a factor, to him.]

I'll get to the point: Galadriel should be freed if she's done nothing, or if she, or anyone else [Not to name names, Gavin Ashara] has done significant wrong, there should be a fair trial, open to public scrutiny. What happened here is, in my opinion, inexcusable.

Sorry?

Only the good, I hope.

[failedfirst]

He too believed that one person could change everything.

I suppose in a way he did accomplish that, although you could likely blame the Seeker's current paranoia on him. [Justice is just a bad influence ok]

[obi_wanmanshow]

I wouldn't go quite that far.

[Especially not if she's referencing who he thinks she is.]

This is all... strange, to me. Where I'm from, we don't see this kind of behavior out of civilized beings, army or otherwise.

[failedfirst]

I wouldn't think you would. That is... a unique situation.

[Which she's still kind of unsure about.]

Are you saying where you are from there is equality between all beings, none are considered less important than others simply because of their birth or means? [She finds that super hard to believe.]

[obi_wanmanshow]

In every society, there those who are less fortunate than others, richer or poorer. But in the main part, not because they're human, or any other race-- of which there are hundreds.

[He wonders, suddenly, what these people would make of a Togruta. Or a Wookie! They'd probably think there were some kind of animal, or a demon.]

To discriminate on the basis of pointed ears seems... ridiculous. Like some kind of impossibly elaborate practical joke.

[failedfirst]

Yes, those of us with pointed ears find it extremely amusing.

[obi_wanmanshow]

I can imagine so.

[He like sarcasm too.]

Obi-Wan Kenobi, of the Jedi. And you are?

[failedfirst]

Velanna, of the Grey Wardens.

[obi_wanmanshow]

It's an honor to 'meet' you, Warden Velanna. I can only hope your circumstances improve.

[failedfirst]

I am a Warden, my circumstances have improved. It's the one organization that truly seems to not care what shape a person's ears are or wether or not they can shoot lightning from their hands.

I do not forget what my people suffer, though.
