FORM: sending crystal
SENDER: Minka
RECIPIENT: Everyone with a crystal
WHAT: Minka's trying to get her bearings
WHEN: Mid-Firstfall, during the Nevarra expedition
WHERE: Shes in Kirkwall, but this message is going out to all.
NOTES: Reminder to check out her permissions post if talk of abuse is something she shouldn't bring up to your character. Not saying it will in her first post, but just to cover my bases.

[ Well this is just great. Here Minka thought she'd show up, they'd put a pair of tweezers to her hand, and out would come the bit of green Fade magic bullshit. Not so, she's now learned. And she's stuck here unless she wants to be in excruciating pain. Super.

It takes her several tries to start up the crystal correctly and when it is, there's the sound of deep breaths and whispered words: "Okay, okay, I can do this. Okay. Just fucking get it over with. Do it, you fucker. Do it. Okay, okay.... okay." ]

How does anybody find anything around this damned place? Like, yeah, I know how to find the stables: just follow the smell. Same with the kitchens. But you lot have completely changed this place since I was last here and I can't find shit. I'm lucky I ran into someone who knew someone who handed out these crystal things.

Would it kill you to put up more signs? And by signs, I mean signs with pictures on them. Not all of us got a fancy schooling to learn how to read.

[ She mutters under her breath. It's something about nugs. ]

Anyway, does anybody do favors around here? I need someone to write a letter for me. Preferably a dwarf, but I'll take who I can get. In exchange, I'll run messages for you in Kirkwall for a week. I just have to let my employers know I ain't coming back for awhile.

[ Because of this stupid freaking shard in her hand, but she doesn't say that. ]

[Well, here is an opportunity to get in good with someone in the trade ... never miss that opportunity.]

Glad to. I'm an elf, if that makes a difference.

...you know, that's a good point. Picture signs, just to make sure everyone's on the same page. I think Base Operations could handle something like that?

You already know what I am. If that's fine with you, I'm fine with writing whatever you need. Just let me know.

...Ah, I suppose that's a suggestion we can pass along, yes. You do get used to the layout after a time here, but signage might not be such a bad idea.

Are your employers expecting you back anytime soon? [Or anytime at all. He's reading between the lines and is pretty sure this is another 'caught a case of the hand shards and got sent off here' person.] The Inquisition does like to keep people around as long as we can.

I've been putting chalk marks on the walls. They're mostly for my benefit but I could probably develop it into something other people could use.

[Late is better than never, right?]

You still need someone to write that letter for you, salroka?
