here comes the new boss, definitely not the same as the old boss

[ipseite]

FORM: Crystal.
SENDER: Petrana de Cedoux.
RECIPIENT: Everyone.
WHAT: New boss introduces herself.
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: division page!

Good evening - my name is Madame de Cedoux, ( she is not in the habit of giving out her first name, given the blithe tendency of so many to casually throw those around when they have them, ) and henceforth I shall be taking over as head of division for diplomacy from Mssr Trask. All affairs that were previously passing through him, I will now be overseeing; please speak with me if any matters are pressing. I am, as some of you may be aware, from beyond the rifts; I can only allow my work to speak for itself on my readiness for this position.

( She'd considered making this message for the division alone, but given the work - and the fact she's relatively sure at least one of her project leaders is seconded from another division - it's probably better to broadly introduce herself and narrow it down as necessary from there. )

At earliest convenience I would also like to speak with Mademoiselle Bonaventura and Mssr Elris. If I am not in my office, please contact me by crystal to arrange a meeting.

[ She's definitely never met this woman, but at least she doesn't seem quite as...Loud as Iskandar. Beleth is going to take it as a good sign. ]

Greetings, Madame de Cedoux. I am Beleth Ashara, Head of Scouting. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, and I look forward to working together with you.

The pleasure is mine, Mme Ashara. I believe already we are sharing personnel! Mssr Gandir is attached to your division, if I'm not mistaken?

( And project leader for something under Petrana's...his interest in which and her interest in learning about dwarves had been what originally acquainted the two of them, setting the stage for the business with Artemaeus. A neat bit of maneuvering all around; she expects her recent handling of the Tevinters to be not unrelated to approval of her request to take this role from Trask.

Round and round and round we go. God be praised for competent help, and so many fewer than she's used to holding knives behind their backs. )

[ Gandir--Oh, Kit. ]

He is, indeed. He's proven to be an exemplary member of my division, and I'm sure that he will continue to be so in his new role.

I quite agree.

( Enough to have recommended him to Coupe, not very long ago; if he's any flaw it's perhaps a bit of over-investment.

That, so long as it can be managed, is better than the alternatives. )
