[Open] [Sending Crystal]

[judgemewhole]

FORM:Sending Crystal.
SENDER: James Norrington
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: An Announcement.
WHEN: Solarus.
WHERE: Skyhold.
NOTES: Right amount of sarcasm? It's Norrington.

Good afternoon, All. My name is James Norrington, Knight Commander of the Inquisition's Templars, and I am here to inform you that I have been named as the Templar Liasion. That means that if you have a concern about my fellow Templars, you may bring it to me. If it is deemed important enough, or it is an issue that we cannot take care of internally, then then I will bring it to Inquisition Leadership. I will be more than happy to listen to any of your complaints, and try to resolve it peacefully and with great expediency.

[And now, a pained sigh.]

However, if it is you just saying that you think templars smell funny, or you don't like my hair, or if you just want to randomly throw a fireball at a templar? Then I am going to make fun of you, and send you on your way. If you want to get all your rude comments out now? Then I am sitting outside, enjoying this fine summer weather and finishing up my reports. You can do it here, or come and sit across the way from me, if you're feeling daring.

Comments

[ingrid_kief]

I think you will do well in this post, ser.

I have reports for you. But perhaps better delivered inside.

[judgemewhole]

Thank you, Ser Kief.

That can be done - where would you prefer to meet?

[ingrid_kief]

Ah... Perhaps your office? Some of the information is... sensitive.

[judgemewhole]

Well I don't have an internal office - I can meet you in the un-used tower just west of the tavern.

[ancarrow]

Congratulations, they couldn't have chosen a better man for the job.

[judgemewhole]

Why, thank you so very much, Eirlys.

[ancarrow]

Purely out of interest, do you know how liaisons were chosen?

[judgemewhole]

I believe they were chosen on those who would be the best fit between the advisors they would be dealing with directly? However, anything more than that is above my particular paygrade.

[demonicbeauty]

[Norrington's sense of humor is certainly peculiar. Of course, it doesn't help that Ariadne completely lacks the context for most of what's said.]

I haven't noticed a distinctly Templar-like smell.

[judgemewhole]

[All right, and now ... he was going to laugh.]

Well that is because we lack one.

[demonicbeauty]

Then why would someone say you do?

[Is she being serious? Is she being cute?

Who knows?]

[judgemewhole]

Mostly because there are a few people who do not like templars. Or their smell.

[He states with a wry smile.]

[elegiaque]

Congratulations on the trust placed in you, Knight Commander.

[judgemewhole]

Thank you kindly, my lady Gwenaelle. I promise to live up to that trust, as well.

[elegiaque]

I have every faith in you.

[judgemewhole]

I appreciate your candor -- and your faith. Always.

Are you doing well?

[foxsays]

If I had questions I wished to ask then, since books have the bias of the author and unfortunately can be very out of date by the time they have gone to print, I would come to you then?

[If she is to be aiding the mages, that involves Templars anyway, and she unfortunately doesn't know nearly so much about them as she should.]

Only if there is time, of course, I am sure you have other things to do of greater importance, it would be at your convenience.

[judgemewhole]

You would, absolutely.

[There is the ruffling of papers.]

There is always time, my lady, to put to bed rumors and slanders. I unfortunately do have a full schedule, but tell me when you would like to speak and I will make the time.

[foxsays]

I regrettably know very little about the Order from the Order itself, and what I do know comes from mages, most of them members of the Mage Council.

[Korrin has told her a great deal but Korrin is on the Mage Council so she still counts.]

As soon as possible would be best, I'll be leaving Skyhold for a brief time before the end of the month and I'm sure you'd agree that these things are best done in person.

[chainlightning]

Are there people who don't like your hair?

[judgemewhole]

There are many people who do not like many things about templars, Merrill. You know that.

[chainlightning]

Yes, but out of all of those things, they're going with your hair?

Private

[el_tybs]

Congratulations on liaison.

Tell Burns that the healing tents are not for picking up people.

You should do something nicer with your hair.

Think that's about it...

Oh, you and Ingrid huh?

Private

[judgemewhole]

Thank you.

... why do I need to tell Burns that?

What precisely is wrong with my hair?

... We're informally formal. So not formal yet.

[el_tybs]

Because you're Templar liason.
That and he came in for a minor cut, which isn't so bad, but I'm pretty sure he's doing it for this one girl's attention who's been helping out.
Maybe just tell him to just ask her out.

Nothing, but you can do something nicer since you have a lady friend, yes?
