crystal.


FORM: crystal.
SENDER: Mme de Cedoux.
RECIPIENT: All y'all.
NOTES: Weird how they're not texting her back, it's probably fine.


( petrana is not, often, on the crystals. there is rarely any shortage of things she had rather be more productively doing, but it has been...difficult to focus, working out of julius's office in his absence, staring hard at her crystal as it fails to produce any responses from either himself or from marcus. after the seventh message she has left the latter, she picks it up again to revised purpose.

so the voice that comes across the crystals will be less familiar to any new arrivals relying on them to acquaint themselves with riftwatch; pleasantly feminine with an accent that the untrained ear might mistake, depending on one's origin, for orlesian or for french. (it is neither.)

it is the sort of voice that was trained to speak clearly and correctly and, perhaps, with the expectation of speaking before an audience, though not one seeking entertainment.

Good day, Riftwatch. For those unfamiliar, I am Madame de Cedoux, chief cryptographer. I understand that we have among us some newer arrivals,

( whenever people begin kicking off on the crystals about work, it usually means either the chantry has done something, the mages want to do something, or there are new rifters. by a process of elimination, )

and I wished to bring to general attention my ongoing project. It is a key element of my role to design means of information security for ourselves and our allies. If you are fluent in a language not native to Thedas, comfortable with magic and literate in the language in question, it would be of great use to me if you were willing to allow me to acquire this familiarity from you. I have means, which are magical in nature, of streamlining such a process.

I am, further, interested in languages more native to Thedasβ€”conversational Nevarran, Tevene, Antivan, these are of interest to me.

I am temporarily operating from the Sashamiri office, if you wish to volunteer your time and knowledge or have you queries that you had prefer to make in person.
