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?

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.

Does it... does it do that often?

( Rifters have such fascinating lives. )

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.

Outside of normal space... ( Josephine tried her best to process that, but it's a struggle. )

Is it similar to the Fade?

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.

A unicorn? Golems made of metal? Your life sounds more exciting that anything I could have possibly imagined.

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.

( But there are always monsters in new, unexplored places. It's half the point of adventuring, isn't it. )

I would like that.

[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.

( She really could listen to his stories all day, but he is probably busy, too. )

Until next time.

[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.
