crystal.
FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Bastien
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: Nonsense. If your characters will not say anything but are obviously/observably involved with people, please feel even more encouraged than normal to "not here" reply with the deets for everyone's gossip-gathering purposes.
Bonjour, mes amis.
[ Faintly sing-song, but in a drawling and subdued way. It doesn't do to sound too chipper and excited about asking people semi-invasive questions. ]
I have been talking to the Seneschal, and we thought—well, it's possible we might need a fraternization policy. Or a record, at least, in case it becomes a problem later. And to decide whether that is necessary: information about fraternization.
[ It's obvious from his voice that he's pleased that that rhymes. ]
So who is together? Or involved, if together is a scary word.
Please feel very free to rat out your bashful friends.
[ As an afterthought, ]
If you have opinions about the policy or record part, I will take those, too.

Bastien...I don't know if I feel right about this. It seems rather wrong to enact a policy that requires fraternization.
no subject
More kissing means less drama. That’s an established fact.

No, never.
[ And more seriously: ]
We’re very suspicious here. If I didn’t say why I wanted to know, even fewer people would tell me. Funny what we don’t trust people with, non, even when we are already trusting them with our lives and so much else.

Well Dante isn't an idiot, he's just willfully obtuse to be irritating.]
Question or maybe questions.
When you say fraternization, what does that mean exactly? Do you mean fraternizing with the enemy, fraternizing with people outside of our own organization, classification, or wealth status?
Or is this a euphemism for the horizontal mambo, cake by the ocean, bashing the bishop, riding the flagpole, blowing air with the bellows, scrubbing the carrot, bumping uglies, plowing the land, assault with a friendly weapon, harpooning the salty longshoreman? You get my drift.
[Normally Dante doesn't give any fucks about anything in particular, but to him fraternizing is a little bit loaded. And so, he's a bit on guard now because he's not exactly a subtle man by nature.]
I'm not the most artistically inclined of souls but paint me a picture anyway. When I hear the word fraternize it often involves something I shouldn't be allowed to do.

It’s a euphemism.

Yet should you plan to place restrictions on such affections, know that I shall argue against their enactment— or choose to walk another path entirely, one that does not involve Riftwatch itself.
Though it would no doubt pain me to do so.
