Let No Soul Hunger For Justice: Nothing But The Truth

[justice_is_blond]

WHO: Adelaide, Alistair, Anders, Bethany, Nathaniel, Varric, Vasran, Velanna
WHAT: The Second Ritual
WHEN: 10th of Bloomingtide (May 10th)
WHERE: half an hour outside of Skyhold
NOTES: Plotting post.

They've kept to the same clearing as the last, because the location's good. Far enough away that no one could stumble upon them by accident, near enough in case something went seriously wrong, it works.

He has scarcely more hope this time than he did the last, but at least there's no singing involved. This can't go as strangely. In theory.

because they aren't part of the rituals. These are...

[ She hesitates a moment before sighing. Telling Anders they're based off of the barriers used during harrowings...probably is not the best idea. She keeps that to herself for the moment. ]

They are the strongest barrier I know short of creating a permanent circle engraved with lyrium. It is as much to protect you both as it is to protect the rest of us should anything go wrong. Again.

[justice_is_blond]

I know.

[It's quiet and a little mournful. He's dangerous, and he can't begrudge anyone for wanting every protection they can think of.]

I mean it's almost a relief that these aren't confusing. I can't say they're a full relief, but they're at least a known thing. Bind so that no one gets hurt, hopefully.

[fleurdesel]

Part of an experiment is controlling your variables. The result of this ought to be the same but there are precious few parts that overlap with the last. What we can control? We must. This I know for certain that I can control.

[justice_is_blond]

It makes sense.

[It makes a great deal of sense. And why would he need to like any particular aspect of this? He's possessed.]

I'll... leave you to the positioning of it, then? It looks like it's set, but I understand wanting to check it more.

[fleurdesel]

It held well enough last time but- I will likely have someone else look it over before we begin.

[justice_is_blond]

Probably a good idea, in case.

[He feels a little flash of concern. Justice has now seen all of the markings... but Justice is still himself, despite how he doesn't seem inclined to assist this venture in any way. He's not going to lash out because of it. Anders gives her a nod.]

I'll speak with you again very shortly, I'm certain.
