SATINALIA IX: DA4 EVE

HAPPY SATINALIA 


 
'Twas the night before DA4, and all through the house, we found ourselves wondering, is a nug analogous to a mouse?

 

The writers were fired, Cullen’s VA got weird, ten years have passed, and most of us are still here.

So as our computers overheat, none of them upgraded since Inquisition, we say thanks to the mods, still here of their own volition.

Here’s to a near decade of waiting, roleplaying, and friends, through tags and logs and only a few dropped threads.

May we all enjoy Veil Guard, a Thedas unfamiliar and unknown, though ‘Fade Rift’ has the cooler name, if I may say so.



how to play:


1. tag with a toplevel for your characters. (possibly include division + projects for ease of identifying coworkers!)
2. reply to other's tags with what your character got theirs for satinalia.
3. rake in those approval or disapproval points. we support both friend- and rival- mances.

As a member of Research, Thranduil will receive a small phial of brightly-coloured, liquid dye, easily deployed by unstoppering or smashing its bottle. It accompanies a request to test it on a member of Scouting or Forces this Satinalia. Results may be reported back to Isaac, Caius, or Gwenaelle for a small reward *

At some point in Kirkwall, Thranduil will be refused service by a merchant or tavern on the grounds that they've been told to watch out for a very tall Riftwatcher, as he never pays his bill.

A bottle of an Orlesian red, a bolt of silver-green cloth and a list of tailors she knows will take the custom of elves, signed Happy Satinalia. To fresh starts. CAPT. G BAUDIN.

(This was also delivered by Krampus Guilfoyle.)

Presented in person, a small, ornate locked cabinet with key; when opened, it contains a sample selection of perfumed Orlesian hair oils available in Val Royeaux and five different purple hair ribbons shaded from pastel lilac to deep royal, and violet.

Delivered to her Forces cubby (by a tall, older gentleman with a sack of such packages), a red scarf with the Riftwatch Forces sigil sewn into its corners, and a slim, serviceable blade in a simple sheath. Maybe some Satinalia future you'll be able to say you have a team again here. GB.

A joint gift for himself and Byerly, delivered by Guilfoyle to their Lowtown home: matching pairs of cufflinks, featuring as the closures entwined pairs of stylised brass Bs. Additionally, a small metal plaque, for your eventual retirement, which spells out DUNSNEAKIN' and is made to hook onto a wall.

Satinalia's the Feast of the Moon — well, one of them — and she'd said candles and prayers for that. So it's candles and prayers delivered, in a little wood box someone's done their best to sand the delivery stamp off (tea, from the particular importer who supplies Diplomacy's bribe stash).

The tapers are rolled thin, and dyed purple. Bit of that's come off to stain the parchment, where written in a familiar, painstaking block print are a few verses from the Canticle of Trials regarding grief. Beside them, the Nevarran version; annotated where it differs slightly from the Trade.

THESE ARE THE ONLY ONES I KNOW. HOPE THEY'LL DO

A snowglobe paperweight with a tiny Templar inside. When shaken, it appears the Templar is trapped on an ice glyph in the snow; Petrana has, additionally, enchanted the glyph to glow when the snowglobe is shaken. This enchantment will eventually wear off after about fifty shakes. Petrana delivers it in person.

In advance of their trip, a set of brand new sewing needles and a pair of sewing scissors for her mother, and a bottle of Petrana's personally preferred brandy with her gratitude for Xiomara for arranging it.

Two bookends, one featuring a griffon and the other featuring a winged dracolisk, and two new shirts, one dark green and one dark blue. Gwenaëlle delivers these herself, in person.

A big ol' hat, folded out of copies of the Hangman's Papers and jammed on her head in the dining hall one morning.
