crystal

[stone_blind]

FORM: Sending crystal cause this girl can't read
SENDER: Katia
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: hopefully contains praxis

[ There's a bit of a fumbling noise on the crystal, then the sound of puffing air. Whoever this is is blowing on it, maybe as some sort of test.

Then a voice - one with an accent that's probably unfamiliar to almost everyone here. This woman has a Dwarven accent, all broad vowels and lax consonants, but it's not quite the same as an Orzammar accent. Tevinters might possibly know it as the accent of a dwarf of the Ambassadoria. ]

I want to know. How many of you are doing all of this because you want things to go back to how they all used to be? Restoring order and stability and all of that. The status quo.

[ And then she waits for a response. ]

[extortionate]

You kidding me? That'd be shit for business.

[cozen]

[ oh my god katia you can't just ask people if they support the status quo ]

[atonally]

[ With something in his mouth, literally his icon right now, ]

I am.

[reparo]

That wouldn't be me.

[favoriteanalyst]

Restoring order and stability, and going back to how things used to be? Those are two different things. [The mage war was hardly stable and orderly, after all.] Order and stability doesn't have to look like how things were. Ideally, you do this to make things better than it was.

Unfortunately, that looks different to everyone.

[tadpoled]

I'm here because I was brought here.

[sprent]

Do we even have a status quo to go back to? I think everything from here on is new.

[allthatgleamsisgold]

Cycles break often and violently - this chaos seems in line with that being the case now.

Is there anything of the status quo worth preserving...?

[gently staying the fuck out of this one]

[thereneverwas]

Nnnaaaah.
