FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Josephine Montilyet
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: A question! (Please talk to her, she's lonely.)
WHEN: Current
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: n/a


Good evening, everyone. My name is Josephine Montilyet and I am the Ambassador for the Inquisition. I've not had the pleasure of meeting as many of you as would like personally, so... I thought this might be an easier, more - ah - approachable way of getting to know each other better.

( She clears her throat as though to prevent herself from rambling. )

I must confess I do not know where to start. Perhaps a conversational ice-breaker will have to do. ( So much for not rambling. ) What do you miss most about your life before the Inquisition?
wontforgetyou: (oh aye that)

Oh, I don't know about that. I'd wager you could talk your way out of a lot of things if you needed to. And for the rest you'd just need someone who'd be willing come face the odd bear or other beastie that'd not be swayed by that sort of thing.

[It's meant to be a compliment, and hopefully she'll take it as one, even though he says it fairly off-handedly.]

I'd be willing to do that if you ever needed someone, you know. Just in case the mood strikes you and you want to get away from Skyhold for a wee bit.

Ohhh, I see. You're worried about adventuring with one of us rifters, is that it?

[There's a distinct teasing note in his voice, though, similar to hers from earlier on.]

Now, look, I might have occasionally gotten into a wee bit of trouble back home, but that was the Doctor's fault, not mine. You'd be perfectly safe with me.
wontforgetyou: (jamie and two)

Aye, well, let me put it this way. If I had a gold piece for every time he wound up landing us somewhere where we got mixed up in something, you'd not need quite so many nobles to help fund the Inquisition. And that's not even counting the times where he'd land the TARDIS in the middle of the ocean or up the side of a mountain or right in the path of a great big river of lava.
wontforgetyou: (seriously?)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-06 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
['Confusing and wonderful' isn't all that far off, honestly, but given the chance for a good grousing, Jamie's going to take it - even if deep down he still misses travelling the way he used to.]

Aye, more than once. Now, that'd not be so bad -- mountains are mountains, aye? But then he has to go and set the TARDIS down on its side and the only way we were able to get up was to climb on each others shoulders so we could get to the doors in the first place. Trust the Doctor to have to wind up using my head to climb on, too.
wontforgetyou: (oh aye that)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-08 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know the half of it.

[She could choose to be not diplomatic at all and likely not be wrong, given how often it breaks down. But that's not the point...or, well, not exactly.]

It'd help if the Doctor could fly it as well as he claims to, mind, but I think sometimes that ship has a mind of its own. I'd thought for sure when I first came here that it'd be around somewhere, because it'd be just like it to wind up tumbling through a rift too.
wontforgetyou: (thinking)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-09 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Fall through a rift? Ah...

[That one gets him to pause for a moment because he actually has to think about that. Before the silence gets to be too much, though, he goes back on - although it's with a shake of his head, even if she can't see it.]

Aye, well, I don't think so, but- remember when I told you about that lava? There really was lava, and we had to get away from that in a hurry, and we wound up using this wee device the Doctor had to do so. It sort of put us outside of normal, erm, space. Not sure if that'd count as a rift or not.

wontforgetyou: (hmm)

Last I checked there weren't white robots in the Fade. Those are sort of like golems, only made of metal.

[Because he's not sure if any of the other rifters have mentioned those to her or not, it seems like a good way to cover his bases there. Although, now that she mentions it...]

Aside from that, I've been told there were some parts of the place that could seem like a bad Fade dream. So maybe it is, a bit. I do know I wasn't dreaming when I was there, though. Especially when that unicorn came charging at us.
wontforgetyou: (nonchalant)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-17 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, and that's not counting all the places we've wound up. Mind you, there were monsters in most of them, but...

[It was exciting. He has to give her that.]

You know, once I get back, I could maybe tell you about a few of them, if you'd like.
wontforgetyou: (please?)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-20 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[And half the fun, too.]

Then I'll do that, then. I should probably let you get going for now, though. I'd not want to keep you from your duties.
wontforgetyou: (gesture)

[personal profile] wontforgetyou 2016-09-20 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[The stories are better in person, though. Where else can he gesture to show just how the unicorn lowered it's head when they were going to charge them or how the Yeti had him around his neck? Besides, he thinks he'd like to see the look on her face when he does tell them. The crystal just isn't going to work for that, unfortunately, but there's still a touch of something almost like regret in his voice if you're listening to it closely enough.]

Aye. Hopefully it'll be soon, at least.
