WHO: Advisers (Cassandra, Cullen, Josephine, Leliana), some Grey Wardens (Herc, Bethany, Nathaniel) and that other Grey Warden problem child (Anders); closed
WHAT: Leliana informs the Advisers she discovered Anders, the Wardens call dibs, everyone is grumpy and stressed.
WHEN: almost immediately following this with some timeywimey in the middle, before Cassandra and Leliana's epic disagreement
WHERE: War Room? War Room.
NOTES: AHHHHH
Not sure about warnings so I'll edit here as necessary, however! If a warning-worthy thing pops up in a tag, pls warn in the subject line!

More ooc notes, I think I got this all correct from our discussion but prod me if I got this wrong:

Leliana's initial starter - open to all the Advisers, Anders reveal, discuss
Grey Warden starters - individual starters for Herc, Bethany and Nate, advisers feel free to thread individually as you see fit or as your whims/character stuff guides you, no need to tag all wardens unless you are keen to :]b

and then freestyle discussion threads, basically :Db

And finally:


How everyone is going to feel after this, probably

Well, this isn't quite what he had in mind by we've gotta stay ahead of this, but at least he is going to be being entirely honest when he says they had intended to tell the Advisers as soon as possible. Today would have been idea, though now he's wishing he'd planned for the Nightingale swooping in with knowledge so early in the day. Grey Warden luck, seemed like.

He stands tall, donning his full uniform, Rebellion at his back and Striker Eureka at his side. A Warden with close to twenty years experience, a Fereldan soldier before that, and more time spent in the Deep Roads than he'd ever care to think about, and somehow he'd never quite walked into a scenario like this. It'd be invigorating, if he was in a mood to be aggravatingly optimistic.

"Advisers," he offers in greeting, bowing just slightly as he walks in, leaving Bethany and Nathaniel with Anders. "I'd like to start by apologising that you found out as you did." His manner is not unfriendly, though far more the soldier and less the man whose likely to shout you a free ale in the tavern if you beat him at darts. "Anders had only just turned himself in to the Wardens, and we'd been planning to inform you, today, that he was here and that he will be remaining in the custody of the Grey Wardens, though the Spymaster pre-empted us."

Onto business. "He's one of us, and that makes him our responsibility. The Wardens do not agree with what he's done," Herc clarifies, tone harsh for the first time. "I intend to see him atone, right to the end. That was the Champion's ruling, and that's the Grey Warden way. And if he so much as makes a move to harm anyone in the Inquisition or beyond, outside of self defence? I'll take his head off myself."

Short, sweet, to the point. "I've got plenty more to say on the matter, but I'm sure you've all got a lot of questions."
