(open, kinda) it's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
WHO: Leliana & open to friends of Detlef/Anders and those who need to talk to Leliana in the post-Anders aftermath
WHAT: Following Leliana figuring out Detlef's true identity (after he went to the Wardens but before they had a chance to approach the Advisers), Leliana is interrogating those who knew him under either identity. However, if your character has cr with Leliana and would like to speak to her just because, they're also welcome.
WHEN: mumbles vaguely, after this log - somewhat timewimey to allow for flexibility. Mostly the first half of Drakonis, with some flexibility for folks outside of Skyhold for any reason :Db
WHERE: SKYHOLD.
NOTES:
1. by no means do you have to have your character interrogated by leliana if they knew anders/detlef! we can handwave it or come up with something else!
2. information on interrogation and sign ups are here! you don't have to reply to that comment, but it would be really helpful to give me an idea of what information leliana could find connecting your character to anders/detlef, what her scouts might have observed or what gossip there is, and sort of... anything that'll help me blather my way through this. iff you feel so inclined, filling in this form would be super helpful but is not required! :Db
3. if you would like a thread that isn't an interrogation/interview but is instead your character coming to approach leliana to discuss anders fate or even anything not anders related, basically, let's do it! just chuck in a starter or pm me or something
INTERROGATIONS
There are so many parts of Skyhold, so many still under construction and renovation. Leliana has secured such a room for her interrogations. Nothing remarkable, not greatly furnished, or even fully completed. Ivy tumbles through a hole remaining in the old roof that has yet to be patched up, accompanied by stray drips, if an interrogation is taking place during the early morning. Other times, glancing up might reveal a silhouette partly blocking the light that would normally cut down through the hole, the long leg of a spider resting there, sharp black eyes staring down through the hole, or just the occasionally click and chitter of a giant spider's observations.
(Leliana owes Morrigan thanks for more than one helpful contribution during these interrogations, yes. Such is the nature of the offence - even these two have found common ground.)
When one of her interviewees are summoned, they will be escorted to this chamber, or one remarkably similar just nearby, by her scouts. Weapons must be handed over, and then they are free to wait in the stone room, occupied only by a table can chair. The wait is oftentimes an hour at least. Up for four, sometimes, if Leliana is busy with another interrogation, or business that is privy only to the master of spies.
When she does arrive, she waits before the door a long moment, before one of her scouts open it and enters behind her, setting down a chair for her to sit, and waiting just inside the door as a silent presence. Leliana does not sit right away, nor does she speak, instead waiting a long moment before speaking, just to see if her company will speak, first. What they will say, how they will act, allowing herself a moment to watch and to consider.
OOC Note - OPTIONS!
Please pick which one (or combination!) you feel your character would be most likely to respond to, would get them a bit off balance, or that you think would make for an interesting starter. We can pretend that leliana deduced this based on logic and intuition, or her scouts giving her information.
Please note!
Leliana will not be doing anything that could endanger people or cause them harm while they wait for interrogation. She will, however, allow them to be uncomfortable.
For example, if your character has a phobia of spiders, she’d ask Morrigan to not be skittering around over the hole in the roof, and would probably not go for the webbing option. However, if your character just doesn’t like spiders? Totally on the cards. Similarly, if your character has delicate health she isn’t likely to make them sit in the cold, etc.)
1. unbalanced.
One of the legs of their chair is just a bit shorter than the others, so it’s impossible for them to get comfortable or sit for any period of time, without wobbling.
2. sticky situation.
The entire table and their seat is spread with a very fine layer of spider webbing, too thin to see, but enough to just be… kind of sticky and weird oh god why is it sticky???
3. uncomfortable.
The room is either weirdly cool or weirdly warm. Not to a level that would harm health, but just enough to have them sitting there, uncomfortably.
4. fiddling.
Quill, ink, parchment + a long wait. What are they going to do?
WILDCARD.
For other conversations, Leliana can be found mostly in the Rookery. Almost always in the Rookery, in fact, though there may be rare occasions when she is walking the ramparts or wandering in the garden to clear her head, usually very late at night or obscenely early in the morning.
Hit me with your best shot.

no subject
Despite no introduction he knows who she is, and apparently she knows plenty about him. Not surprising. Even so the sudden appearance and conversation has him staring a bit wide eyed, completely caught off guard.]
Aaaum... well it's certainly something we don't want happening.
[A pause.]
Being a Spirit Healer doesn't mean I'm possessed.
no subject
Of that I am well aware.
( It is an excessive chill in her tone, perhaps, but Leliana knows very well what being a spirit mage entails and the differences between it and possession. Wynne had taught her a few things, after all. )
How do you view the Inquisition? It's people, the work.
( General, yes. Very general, but she has found it can be useful to cast such a wide net. )
no subject
The Inquisition is actually doing something about the mess that the world is turning into. It's working with people and ideas that would normally get shot down.
[A pause.]
The people in it... everyone is amazing in their own right. It's a wonder that we've managed to get so many different groups and races involved. However...
There is so much separation because of hate, and the Inquisition is not doing the best it probably could be with there being so little unity. Everyone has a right to feel how they do, and steps are being made to be better, but a lot of it feels as if everyone is saying 'you stay on your side of the line'.
no subject
What would you propose as a solution? We expect the members of the Inquisition to act as adults and manage their differences.
( Perhaps simplistic, but it is deliberately so. This is an interrogation, for all that he raises a fair point. Moreover, any answer could give indication as to where his sympathies lie, how radical he is prepared to be in his actions, whether Anders has held any sway over him. )
no subject
[Sam has to make a point in not wobbling his chair around as he talks. It's uncomfortable, but it's become a fidgeting habit since the wait.]
Honestly, I don't have a solution for everyone. Even if I did there would be some flaw in it to a person or group. The best I can do is do my job and be a go between for the people I interact with.
no subject
Still, his thoughts are interesting to consider. They need something more. And, perhaps more specific to the matter at hand, Leliana leans back in her chair - not wobbly at all - and turns his words over. )
Did you often act as a go between for Detlef?
no subject
She wanted his view on the Inquisition, and that's how he saw it.]
Detlef?
[He frowns slightly. So this is what she was getting at?]
No. My interactions with him were mostly during lessons. He got along there.
no subject
( He got along could mean many things, or it could be nothing. His frown could be taken as concern or confusion, or perhaps irritation, and she notes the details of his expression and his body languages for careful dissection.
If they are lucky, then this is nothing more than a waste of both their time, although wasting the time of a Spirit Healer did not good to anyone, in truth. Unfortunately, this is necessary. )
Can you tell me a little more about them?
( A change of tact, just subtle, and she smiles a little. It is not a genuine smile, but she can do a very good job of appearing so. That is what a Bard is trained to do, to be, and she is the best. ) I am sorry for all these question. Recent events have made them... necessary.
no subject
I got the impression that he was hardworking and kind. He didn't go easy on us during lessons, but he was likewise supportive and strived to have us better ourselves, both for our own benefit as well as anyone we worked with. He made sure to be available anytime someone had a question and answered the best he could.
The patients at the tents like him as well, they seem to be at ease anytime he goes to treat them..
