[semi-open] a friendly query

WHO: Cassandra and rifters/shardbearers
WHAT: Rifter interrogations
WHEN: Following Cassandra's log with Galadriel and the advisors' conversation
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: For planned rifter/shardbearer interrogation threads with Cassandra! If we haven't discussed your character's thread, please drop me a note here or hit me up on Plurk for general (this can be very general) setup/discussion of what you hope the outcome to be. She'll be most interested in talking to rifter mages, but we can swing her interrogating anyone with a shard.


With or without your support, she had said to the Spymaster, and she had meant it. She would have preferred that Leliana understand her position, the necessity of action - but she does not, and dwelling on it will do nothing to change that now. Whether anyone else sees it or not, Cassandra at least recognizes the risk that the shardbearers pose. If nothing else, they must understand who the rifters are, what they are capable of - and what they may do.

There are still plenty who agree with her, who are not as idealistic in this matter as Leliana, and it's not difficult to find soldiers willing to find those of interest and bring them to her, one at a time. She waits until each is seated before she turns to face them, and always begins the same way, whether she recognizes them or not.

"I am Cassandra Pentaghast, and I represent the Inquisition. State your name, and where you come from."

Not getting his head cut off is a plus! This is a positive. It's a step in the right direction. So obviously he's with her up until the 'follow any orders', which has him weakly getting out a, "hey, wait a minute-"

But, sword. Sword! Sword and angry woman, kind of important details, so he shuts up. To be fair, aside from the follow orders thing, it's a pretty reasonable request. (Demand.) This isn't his army, and maybe he doesn't want to play soldier anymore. What if the Inquisition ends up on the wrong side of something, and he doesn't want to fight an enemy? (Would he even know to question it? He recognizes, at least, that the more he learns about Thedas, the less he understands. And alien demon things? Need fighting.)

"Yeah, okay, sure!" His hands are still up by his head to look non-threatening, in case she has reason to come at him again. "Sure, yes, those things, whatever, fine, yeah! I'm not here to hurt people that don't need hurt, okay, I'm not a demon, I'm just a guy trying to not die in your crazy backwards world of magic okay!"
