The Days That Bind Us 2: Still Bound

WHO: Mages, anyone else who cares
WHAT: Give us liberty or give us potatoes, or: a most noble strike for a most noble purpose, or: pissy mage babies throw a tantrum
WHEN: 14-19 Cloudreach 9:44
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: This is for consolidating RP regarding the strike. Your character doesn't have to be striking themselves to top-level or tag around, as long as it's tangentially related.


The morning of Cloudreach 14, with minimal fanfare, a significant fraction of the Circle mages working with the Inquisition across Thedas stops showing up for work. On the other hand, a significant fraction doesn't stop. But the not-working fraction is significant enough to cause problems, and for the Inquisition to not delay or prolong the discussions already set to take place at Skyhold with a few representatives of the aggrieved mages and a number of Templar and Chantry representatives.

In the Gallows, most of the mages who are refusing to work relocate—voluntarily, unless being scowled at by Kostos Averesch qualifies as being forced against one's will—to the dusty recruits' quarters in the former Templar tower for an indefinite, politicized slumber party, featuring uncomfortable bunk beds and a lot of unseasoned starches. For a cause.

ooc | Remember that striking characters are generally losing access to confidential information, Inquisition equipment or materials, and any amenities, comforts, or privileges beyond the "plain potatoes for dinner" and "not thrown out into the streets" level.

For whatever reason he was voted for, it was appreciated, and undoubtedly meant that Pietro had at least some good judgement. Not that Gareth isn’t willing to chat with just about anyone, judgement or no. Particularly when they’re here, participating in the strike.

And so, Gareth glances over, cocks an eyebrow at Pietro, and with a lazy grin on his face, makes a show of setting aside his current book to deliberate over his little pile. “Well, I have a good amount of books. And we can always buy more. Which means we should be set, unless we run out of books in Kirkwall, or coin. That, I think, would be a good sign that it’s time to throw in the towel.”

That seems to be all he has to say on the matter, as he reclines back down. Then he pauses, like a thought has just occurred to him, and he glances back at Pietro. “And that is when we just start throwing books at them.”
