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.

[Vandelin has not, thus far, made much of a name for himself in his division. Suspecting from overheard complaints that Trask was not someone with whom he wanted to entangle himself, he's quietly been directing his focus toward Veil research and keeping his ear to the ground for a good opportunity to get his foot in the door with Baerendorf.

Perhaps it's his angling in that direction that's caught his new superior's attention. Or perhaps he's done something to merit reprimand, though for once he can't think of any trouble he's caused in recent memory.

In any case, if the new bosslady says she wants him in her office, he'll be there--but it can't hurt to ask.]

Madame de Cedoux. Enchanter Vandelin here. [It's not a correction, or at least it doesn't have the tone of one, but hey, now the title and its traditional nomenclature just happen to be out there.]

First of all, congratulations on the new position; it'll be a pleasure to work with you. Might I ask what this meeting concerns?

[ 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.

[conqueredhearts]

Ah a wonder that two Rifters should obtain these positions! Let us wear our new titles well!

[foxsays]

Madame de Cedoux, congratulations on your appointment. [Can you hear her smile? She feels all the better for coming to place something delicate in her hands.] I can make myself available this afternoon if that suits?

[Señor Elris isn't someone she knows but someone she'll get to know through this (and in her own time too now, that never hurts.)]

Congratulations, Madame de Cedoux. [Inessa's tone is polite but warm. She appreciates those discussion comparing her own Thedosian magic to what Petrana herself possesses. Fascinating stuff.] I wish you good fortune in your new role, but I suspect you will flourish regardless.

I have been appointed the leader to the Rifts and the Veil project, myself. When time permits, I would be interested in speaking with you regarding your division and my own. I wish to expand on what information has been gathered and believe diplomacy will be key in doing so.

[...Now, what in the world might she be planning to do with his cousin? Though given it's Petrana asking after Van, Myr's convinced already only good can come of it.]

My congratulations as well, madame!

[justice_is_blond]

You're certainly well-suited for this. Can I help you decorate your office?

[tactical_alert]

Greetings and congratulations. Seeker Reed. I do hope as a rifter you're all read up on the at-times complicated relationships between our countries and peoples.

[apologist]

Congratulations, Madame de Cedoux. I don't believe I've had the pleasure. I am Brother Jehan Mercier, and at your service, of course, as soon as I have unpacked. I hope Monsier Trask is still in good health—?

[ I.e., he self-destructed, didn't he. ]

[thecookery]

Suppose I ought make my congrats and nice-to-meet-yous.

[Everybody else is, though condolences kind of seem more appropriate to her with all that paperwork. She and Josephine, weirdly enough, were actually pretty good friends before the move.]

Name's Avery. I'm Head Cook round here, so... [She trails off a moment and shrugs, though obviously that's not communicated well via audio.] Any trouble with the kitchens or big events or guests or somesuch come up, you know who to find.

[Read: Don't bother reaching out to the Seneschal first. He's a useless lump and will just slow the whole thing down before handing the responsibility over to Avery anyway.]
