Casting down bad memories

[arlathvhen]

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Beleth Ashara
RECIPIENT: Everyone who's part of the first group to Kirkwall
WHAT: Discussing what's to be done about the statues
WHEN: Sometime between Cloudreach 14th and 20th
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: This isn't an Official Poll that's going to decide things but it's a good way for people to throw out suggestions for voting on and discuss ideas

Good day, to every member of the Inquisition currently helping take care of the Gallows. We've been making some amazing progress, and I'm sure that our contributions will give this place the overhaul that it desperately needs. With time, the Gallows will become a symbol of hope, rather than despair.

If I may, I'd like to take time to discuss ideas for one of those symbols. Specifically, those horrid statues that are strewn about. Now that they will...probably no longer attempt to kill us.

I've been informed that there are artisans willing to melt down the statues and create new ones to be put in their place. Additionally, our group has been given permission to choose what kind of statues would be put up there. Suffice to say, whatever we go with will make a statement about our goals here. The Inquisition is trusting us to make sure that statement is positive.

So, I would like to discuss possibilities with everyone, and see if we can get some good ideas going.

To start the ball rolling, if it's alright, I'd like to share my own proposal. Of course, this is only a suggestion, and I welcome any other voices.

I propose that we have the statues remade to represent the diverse groups within the Inquisition. Have a statue of a dwarf, another of a Dalish, another of a mage, etc, etc. It would send a message of cooperation and coexistence, and hopefully promote such in our new home.

The floor is open for further suggestions.

[ a hallowed day, for dumat is vanquished by the soft, soothing sounds of the sea.

which is to say: amid the gentle lapping of the waves are the screeches of gulls, the curses of dockworkers, the barking of mabari, and at least one deeply nsfw conversation about the champion's statue between two hired hands.

the noise continues, more or less unabated, until she returns to collect the crystal in a few hours. yw ]

[ several hours after that, once the danger appears to have passed, wren receives a message. it is not noises of the sea, though there is the unmistakable creaking of rigging and hulls, and the faintest lapping in the background. but in the foreground, is a recitation of the deeply nsfw conversation about the champion's statue, with the parts of both hired hands played by freddie, complete with accents, which are only a little spoiled by the obvious joy she takes in relating this story in such excruciating detail that one can only assume she took notes as it happened. ]

No need for thanks; it is my pleasure only to be of service in seeing that you received this most important and urgent message from the gentlemen at the docks. Bonsoir, madame.
