Matters Of Introduction

[tis_disapproval]

And so, dear readers, I embark upon further adventure amidst what can only be surmised, from your own various writings, as incompetence, foolery and opportunity for murder...

All in all, I think I shall feel rather at home.

In the course of writing this, however, 'twould be considerate for me to make of myself an introduction, no? To that end, you may know me as Morrigan. A name which, so I am told, will mean precious little to you - and be thankful for it, lest you wish to live by aimless superstition.

I am also told you know nothing of the Chantry, Templars or the like. That you've mages who've the good sense to remain free of authority's shackles. In this, I am sure we would find agreement, for subjugation is no fertile soil for the nurturing of empowerment.

I admit, being summoned by the title of... Warden will take a little getting used to. In truth, I would prefer this not to be the case, if this can be helped. It has a very particular association in my world. A profession I would prefer not to be thought of as being part of, even if once aligned with.

This shall be the end of my use for quill and paper, I think, for now.

'Tis a most unusual place, indeed...

Morrigan. Love that name.

[tis_disapproval]

You do, do you?

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So are you a witch?

[tis_disapproval]

Oh yes... No doubt, I shall creep out of my room at night to swoop down upon unprotected children and devour them whole, before turning you all into bats.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Fine. Sorceress or whatever. It's all the same, really.

Madam, your pen and ink go not unused in principle, simply because they go unused in practice.

And nor should they.

[tis_disapproval]

One should hope not. 'Tis a shame for words to go ignored when they have value.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

A great shame indeed, madam, but a greater shame to not to be able to write them at all.

[tis_disapproval]

And what is it you are suggesting?

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Nothing, madam, only that you value your ability to write freely.

lj ate my post last night

I don't think we used as a title, madame. At least not formally. I am a warden but not Warden St. Just. So I don't think it should trouble you too much. As a group, we are wardens and I suppose your inmate may call you 'warden,' but you can always ask him or her to use your name or whatever title you prefer. I certainly don't go around asking for Warden So-and-So.

Welcome aboard in any case. My name is Armand St. Just.

Its hunger can be merciless.

[tis_disapproval]

Then, Armand, my concerns have been eased. I find no names within the profession I would recognise, as residing here. One can only assume they either do not or have no desire to be found.

A good thing, too... Lest we find ourselves standing deep in war hound dung.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I am glad to have helped.

Are you worried about anything else?

[tis_disapproval]

My level of worry depends greatly upon the level of competence of those around me - and their motivations.

Should I have reason to find them troubling? What I have read, so far, does not fill me with the greatest of ease...

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

People here are troubling by nature. This is a prison ship.

[feverprophecy.livejournal.com]

The name "Morrigan" has plenty of meaning. Whether it's the same meaning as what's associated with you or not, who's to say.

[tis_disapproval]

So long as my meanings are clear, little more can be asked for.

[feverprophecy.livejournal.com]

Then I'll have to ask for that little. No other way to tell.

[tis_disapproval]

Oh, to inform you of that would serve little purpose, aside from inducing superstition and fear... Especially should you know of Flemeth.

And I think you do not.

[feverprophecy.livejournal.com]

No, you know what? Keep your two cent mystique, it's cool. Better than inducing superstition and fear among the ignorant peasants of the Barge.

[strangehistorian]

Welcome to the Barge, Morrigan!

[tis_disapproval]

Another who hails a greeting...? I find myself suddenly popular.

Not something I am used to.

[strangehistorian]

[Giggle.]

I like to talk to everyone who arrives!

[tis_disapproval]

And what of those who die or leave? Do you bid them each a personal farewell?

I am told their numbers can run high...

[strangehistorian]

I try to. Most leave without warning.
