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.

[ Beleth DAINTILY NIBBLES on the cookies like a Proper Lady, and leans against Cade like a proper lady, and sighs in the pained despair of a proper lady. ]

That's what I'm trying to do, if people would just...listen to me. I'm not trying to run everything, you know? I don't want to be the boss, I just want things to get done, and if I have to do them to get them done, then so be it.

At least you listen to me, Cade. Thank you, for that.

[Cade knows all about proper ladies. It checks out.

He nods while Beleth talks, more or less just agreeing with her in silence. He's come to know her well enough to at least understand that she means well, even if she periodically sticks her foot in her own mouth.
It's not like he ever does that.]

..you're welcome, [he mildly replies. Though he's still uncomfortable, at least they're uncomfortable together. And he actually doesn't mind the leaning. Leaning is different.]
