WHERE: Kirkwall, the Gallows
NOTES: Project Page

[And now for Inessa's calm, professional tone as she makes her own announcement.]

Good morning. This is Inessa Serra, and I have been granted leadership of the Rifts and the Veil project, replacing Clarke Griffin. The room she had claimed -center tower, third floor- will remain in use, for easing the transition. As to what I expect, it's quite simple. I would rather give you needed flexibility rather than micromanage, though if you desire direction I will do my best to advise. I wish to see everyone in a role they are invested in and enjoy, rather than flounder.

At this time, I believe our priorities ought remain on the shards and learning what we can of them to assist their bearers. To that end, I wish to gather as much information as possible regarding how and when they were acquired, along with complete records of any changes undergone since then. A voluntary survey will be made; if you have opinions as to what it ought contain, you're encouraged to share them. All such information will continue to be encoded, to ensure the safety and privacy of those involved. 

 If you have questions or issues, I maintain an open-door policy.

[He brightens further at the suggestion.] That would do.

And-- [He breaks off to laugh at Garahel's interruption.] --yes, we'll be spending a lot more time together, won't we? --I'm ready to start whenever you've need of me. Though, ah, I'm sure you've noticed I keep strange hours. [Thankfully he's on the diurnal side of his wandering schedule right now. But that won't last.]

[circleprodigy]

I have, yes. That doesn't bother me, however. When your hours overlap with mine, we'll coordinate as best we can...and when they do not, I'll appreciate reports as they're needed. Having someone who does not always share my hours could even be a boon; there might always be someone available for the project, after all.

[faithlikeaseed]

Good thought. It'll just be a matter of finding a scribe who can keep up with me. [An entirely solvable problem.]

Anything else we need to hash out? [Because if not he's finally going to get into--and share--those cookies he brought; they're distracting with how good they smell.]

[circleprodigy]

Not at this time, no.

[She smiles, likewise getting distracted by the smell. Garahel may be trying -and failing- to discreetly sniff at them.]

I say we've earned a tea and cookie break, haven't you?

[faithlikeaseed]

[He lifts his teacup in salute.] You're the boss--but the suggestion's got my full approval.

[And there's definitely some to spare for Garahel.]
