Good morning, Inquisition.

( It’s early afternoon, easily. She sounds very relaxed, and it would not be inaccurate to imagine her reclining on a sea of cushions and eating chocolate. Her accent is distinctly Antivan, and probably should be accompanied by a montage of vineyards and orange blossom. It’s just the kind of vibe she gives off. )

I wanted to apologise for any inconvenience caused the last few days by my arrival; the family estate in Hightown was not yet ready to receive me, it seems, and so there has been some to-ing and fro-ing. I understand one of the birds caused a little confusion.

( It trapped Finch in a cupboard. ) Please rest assured all the flamingos have been moved for their safety.

( And the safety of the Inquisition. )

I am Lady Marisol of the Houses Vivas and de la Nieve, Asturias and Hierro. ( Merchant Princes, nobility, pirates. You may remember her from such mage empowerment videos as GO REBELS GO and IT’S NOT SMUGGLING, IT’S SPECIALISED TRADE. ) You know, I had planned to be here a little sooner, but the weather in Antiva was so fine. I couldn’t bring much winter sunshine with me, but the Inquisition’s supplies have been replenished a little.

So! Is anyone here from the Rialto Circle? And can anyone explain why it is I should bring ships and staff to an Inquisition that took to destroying the Necropolis? I have some aunts and uncles who are very upset about it.

( She, personally, does not sound seriously concerned, but apparently she doesn’t sound seriously concerned about anything. )

Okay so ... some of you are big ... moral people and heroes and all that rot. A question for you. If you, say, have some pull with some people and that might help ... things, but it's dealing directly with a family that you have ... not had the best relationship with, do you do the thing that might help even though it's going to put you back in with a family who pretty much abandoned you from day one?

[Great. Now ... she's angry rambling. Ugh.]

Anyways - if - anyone needs or wants some artwork for their room, house, hovel, whatever - when I'm not trying to help with the Veil stuff, I can create murals for you. Price is trade for stuff I can use for painting supplies, that kind of thing.

Yeah. Okay. Bye.

Hey there - Jim Kirk speaking.

I've returned from my travels with a surprising find that I thought some of you might be interested in. I found a large load of jeans in varying sizes and brought them back with me. So if you're anyone who wants a pair, you're welcome to come and look and see if there's one or two that fit.

Just send me a message if you're interested.

I fear it had been overlong since last we spoke, Inquisition.

( Crisply spoken words, the touch of Starkhaven shaping each sound. )

For those not yet known to me: I am Herian Amsel, Knight Enchanter of the White Spire. For those better acquainted with me, I apologise for my abrupt absence. My orders bid me elsewhere.

( ... and that's all she has to say about that, smoothly moving on. )

I hope the seasons and the Free Marches have not treated you poorly. However, I am bound to lament our residence in any portion of them that is not Starkhaven.

( There is just the faintest touch of humour, maybe. Possibly. You probably imagined it. )

Maker willing, Kirkwall will treat you all with kindness.

Inquisition, now that we're settled in Kirkwall I come to you with two very exciting propositions. As some of you know, I taught how to climb and run the walls and battlements of Skyhold, how to fall from such heights safely but alas this was not as it was at home when Skyhold was so contained. But here we are in Kirkwall! I can truly teach you how to leap from building to building if your desire and to dive into the waters from buildings and from the rigging of a ship. Of course, we start small so as not to injure your good self but if that prospect sounds intriguing, please come find me. I am Araceli Bonaventura, at your service. I'm either working at the Gallows or by the docks or you might happen to look up.

The second is a thing to celebrate and I could say that I do it as leader of the naval projects but truly? I do it as someone who loves cooking and seafood, to finally be back by the water after so long removed from it. Tell me, Inquisition, what are your favourite seafood dishes? Your favourite meals from Antiva or Rivain or places such as that? Because I thought it might be an idea to have a cookout by the waves towards the end of the month, say, the twenty-second? Everyone is welcome if they are a fan of good food and good times among friends.

[Also it's her birthday but since they don't really do birthdays that way back home, what better thing to do than have a fun time with people that have all certainly earned it?]

Hello everyone, this is Jim Kirk speaking.

I'm going to be conducting some experiments on leather samples I have been provided and I need help from anyone so inclined. I could use the help of anyone strong and can swing weapons, and also the help of several mages with varying expertise - fire, ice, that sort of thing.

I'm willing to work out a compensation for your time. Please contact me with your availability and your skills if you're interested.

If any of you were inclined or in need of hiding books within the Gallows itself, where would you end up storing them?

[Waver's voice and demeanor are straight forward and without artifice. There's a hint of irritation as he continues to speak.]

It seems that there are a number of missing books from the library removed at some point prior to the Inquisition's move-in, and finding them would be useful, even if they're never used again.

Hello Inquisition!

[Here is your cheerful sunshine Warden, everyone.]

I am wondering if I could perhaps borrow some hands, and eyes, and eager minds to help me go through the basements of the Kirkwall Library? There is a chance that we might be able to get our hands on some ancient Tevinter texts, and that would help our research of Corypheus immensely. I'm looking for those who don't mind spending a few afternoons going through volumes of history, of magic and of other topics to perhaps find some hidden gems.

I can't offer much money, I'm sorry, for those looking for coin but! I will buy all the drinks at the Hanged Man later on!

So who is interested?
