a welcome packet;

[heirring]

[Shoved under Margaery's door at some point during her enforced quarantine is a packet of papers with a handwritten (distinctly lovely handwriting at that) questionnaire. The following instructions are pinned to its cover: 'Welcome to Riftwatch! Please fill out the following survey to the best of your ability and return it to the desk of Mme. de Foncé in the Base Operations office. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out for clarification. Best Wishes, W.A. de Foncé, Research Division, Assistant to the Seneschal, Project Felandaris.'

The following survey is...expansive.]

Questionnaire Section A
Of and Relating Specifically to the Rifter Population in the Gallows (Kirkwall, The Free Marches, 9:46)

Question 1A. Conceptually, how familiar are the Fade and the Veil to you? Are there similar phenomena (however minor the resemblance) in the place from which you came?

Question 2A. If yes, is energy drawn and/or emitted from or through it? Do cognizant beings (spirits, full bodied manifestations similar to a Rifter, and so on) pass through it?

Question 3A. Does "magic" exist in your world?

Question 3A.(i). If "magic" exists in your world, is it somehow tied to or sustained by this other space?
Question 3A.(ii). If "magic" exists in your world and there is no such alternative dimension as referenced in Question 1A., from where does it originate?

Question 4A. Given the opportunity to objectively estimate your own physical conformation and comeliness against the general populace of the world from which you came, where on a scale of one through ten might you be ranked (for the purposes of this survey, please consider the numerical score of five (5) as average for your home world)? Disregard. This question has been deemed inessential.

Questionnaire Section B
Rift Anchors, with Respect to All Who Presently Possess Them

Question 5B. How long have you had your rift shard? Irrelevant; it is assumed you received it upon arrival through the Rift. However, you are welcome to detail any notes you may have on it here.

Question 6B. Are you able to perform any supernatural acts with the power of your rift shard beyond closing Rifts? If yes, please detail these abilities. Irrelevant; recorded with your personnel file. Please update W.A. Poppell should your rift anchor develop any additional effects.

Question 7B. Do you have any other abilities, such as mage talent? If so, has the presence of the rift shard or your time in Thedas affected your ability whatsoever (please note whether this is a negative or a positive effect)?

Question 8B. At what point would you take surgical measures to rid yourself of your anchor shard?

Question 8B.(i). Would you permit scientific observation of the process?
Question 8B.(ii). Would you permit samples to be taken from the limb?

(PLEASE NOTE that the authors of this survey do not advocate for preemptive amputation unless strictly recommended by a trusted medical professional.)

Hello, is this Miss Margaery?

Margaery?

raven

( The handwriting is neat and bouncy, but without any of the flourishes of the fancy folk of Thedas or… anywhere else. Wherever Margaery is from included, Waverly would guess.

And she does draw the emojis, yes. Or, more accurately, really ridiculous approximations of the emotions )

I know this is so ridiculous and I promise not to waste raven resources when they should be doing more important things, but we can send things by 🦅⭐️ RAVEN⭐️🦅
It’s so cool. I feel like I’m in a novel.

More importantly, thank you for your help the other day. I was hoping we could chat? Maybe hang out? I don’t really know many people yet and my social butterfly self is struggling.

Margaery, do you have a moment?

secret satinalia

[vangelis]

Delivered wrapped into a neat, modest-looking parcel is a long coat made with dark floral fabric. Accompanying it is a note that reads:

This fabric already lives as a garment but if you are crafty or resourceful then certainly you can fashion it (or have it fashioned) into something suiting your own personal tastes.
Happy Satinalia.

crystal, a few days post-skeletons

Margaery, it's Jim. I'm sorry I didn't check in sooner.

How are you doing?
