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.

[ if finch understood a little more of the state of the world, he might argue those other groups as well. but he doesn't. probably templars get their powers from the maker, and what the heck is a first warden, anyway. ]
That's why they can stay when they don't do anything. It's only, if me or some of the others around here, if we go sit in a room all day knitting squares, and eating cream and bacon, and playing with dogs —
— Well, I don't figure we'd still be here the next day. How's that working the same?

Why're you even here, then? It's nothing the Inquisition's done to you neither. If you think they want to hurt you so bad, why are you even here?

Because we want to help stop Corypheus. Because we want to believe that the Inquisition is the force for good it claims to be. Because we want to believe that they respect us as allies like they said they would. So we're giving them a chance to prove it and do the right thing instead of just walking away now. That's why we're doing this. It's not that we don't want to work with the Inquisition, it's that we do. But we're not in a position to just take their word for it.
