[OPEN TO MAGES]

[deflocked]

WHO: Mages, mages, more mages. I guess non-mages can sneak in or be dragged along by friends, but they will be glowered fiercely at by Daylen if he knows.
WHAT: Mage meeting
WHEN: 3 Firstfall
WHERE: What would be Solas' room if Solas were there.
NOTES: Feel free to mingle/threadjack/and anything else you might think of! A top level comment will be made for the meeting itself with no particular order for commenting. There will probably be discussions of mage rights and such. I will edit if any warnings come up.

It's not exactly the biggest room, but on the plus side it's not in a terrible state of disrepair either. In case anyone isn't sure this is the right room there is a sign on the door indicating it is for the mage meeting. If that isn't enough, it is full of chairs. Arguably too many chairs for a room of this size. Especially since they are arranged in a circle for convenience of being able to talk rather than making the most of the space.

Hello, mages. Hope you're all ready to argue.

[Though Korrin didn't think Daylen would say anything else she'd want to hear, mention of compromise gets her interest and she almost smiles, much appeased by such words. She also finds herself nodding in agreement with his mention of the part the mages played during the brawls. The mage he mentions gets an added glare from her, just because.]

That kind of selfish behavior just makes everything worse for all of us, so I actually agree with you there. We can do better, even if it's just making sure that shit-stirring idiots know their actions aren't going to be unchecked. Regulating ourselves in that was is better than it being decided for us.

[aceso]

Exactly. Most of us have been in a position where we're been scared and afraid for our lives during this conflict, and some people are simply hot-headed and need to be taken to task. If any of you are the former, shooting harmful spells within Skyhold's walls will gain us nothing, only set us further back. We're here to help each other, and I can certainly teach any of you the force field spell if you don't know it. It does no harm to the person attacking, merely holds them in place so you can get away.

Another reason us uniting is a good idea. We all come from different backgrounds and we can share so much with each other to stay safe and prove the good we can do here. With a council, there should always be at least one person on it you feel you can turn to for support.

[Pel gives Oran a nod.]

Maybe the Dalish have thought of something to help your dreams. You and I could speak on it.

[For a moment it felt like whatever progress they had been making was going to be tossed away, but quick tongues and wits from certain parties calmed the tides again. All the arguments sound valid; everyone has experienced similar and different things.

The man named Oran, his words hit him particular hard though, enough that Sam just allows himself to fade between the voices. That is a legitimate fear, and while the Templars were a way to handle it, it didn't necessarily mean that they needed them in order to govern themselves.

Sighing, Sam just waits for the meeting to die down, listening intently all the same.]

( throughout the discussion, benevenuta has been writing - skipping backwards a few times to add names as new faces speak up, pen hovering indecisively as one person speaks or interrupts or says something she doesn't feel needs to be written down; she is listening attentively, perhaps uncomfortably attentively in some moments when her wide eyes fix upon whoever's voice is the loudest with an expression that gives away little of her own opinions, but for the most part, she has said her piece and taken to her task.

still-- )

To defend ourselves without magic is an important skill. Perhaps, if nothing else, we might exhaust our hot-headed young ones with a bit of new physicality.

I've been putting as many as will drop in through their paces in staves. Nothing formal.

[ Throughout all this talk of what Circles are and should be, Dorian has remained pointedly silent. Tevinter, as usual, does things differently, but the Circle of Magi began in Minrathous, so it is an instinct to correct and be elitist about things he has to stifle. He isn't here to champion a country that is fundamentally broken.

But this is better territory. ]

Dispelling magics should also be technically harmless to drill. As far as rulings and punishments go-- well. I vote naughty mages be fed to Cassandra.

[fleurdesel]

[ That earns a faint snort of laughter, quickly stifled. ]

They attempted to set a cook on fire, yes? Perhaps they ought to clean the hearth in the kitchens and mind it so that she will not be burnt where she works from the place where she would expect it. The brawlers- the training dummies are thrashed to bits quite often. Stuffing, restitching, mending- tedious work that needs doing but not many care to handle.

[He nods approvingly at that suggestion, relieved to be on a topic where his thoughts don't seem to be unpopular ones.]

Fitting and practical. I like that.
