WHO: Anyone
WHAT: Failed attempts to hire a new head for the Diplomacy Division
WHEN: Late Solace
WHERE: The Gallows, Kirkwall
NOTES: OOC post! IC announcement also to follow shortly. This log will contain some top-level starters for some of the NPCs (but not all of them, just the ones me, Cee, and Hope feel like, thanks), open to anyone who wants to tag them!

Players who signed up for scaring off specific NPCs are also welcome to set up logs here for that, open or otherwise, if they want to play it out.

The Diplomacy Head's office is really too nice to be so empty for so long—and someone to handle public relations would be, you know, not a bad idea—so it's time for proactivity and a small parade's worth of potential ambassadors on Riftwatch's behalf. The candidates arrive in twos and threes to be interviewed, shown around, and, ideally, convinced that taking on the diplomatic efforts of an organization this weird wouldn't be the worst career move they've ever made.

Herbertus Gachet

[bombedtheinterview]

One of the candidates for diplomacy head somehow manages to break away from his guides. He ends up, somehow, in some room in some corner of the Gallows, up in the mage tower, crouched down, wringing a handkerchief between his hands.

"Oh," he's saying to himself, "oh, no, no, no, no, no..."

When he hears a noise at the door, he wheels towards its source, hurling himself backwards so that his back is braced against the wall. He stares, protuberant eyes very very wide, and then whispers as he swabs his handkerchief across his forehead, "Can you feel it? Can you feel it in here?"

[aforethought]

"Yeah." Melys agrees, without consideration, or particular interest. She seems to be looking for something just beyond Herbertus — "All over the place, ain't it?"
