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.

[tis_disapproval]

One could say this... One could say a lot of things and, indeed, I have been named many of them.

Nonetheless, I'll offer you the benefit of the doubt, in hope of your not having been swayed by tales of the Korcari Wilds.

In which case, yes. Yes, I am.

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

And nor should they.

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.

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.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Never heard of them. I'm a sorcerer, myself.

[tis_disapproval]

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

[tis_disapproval]

And were you shackled in your world?

Many are... Even if only by worship or tutelage.

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.

[tis_disapproval]

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

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I am glad to have helped.

Are you worried about anything else?

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, by worship, I guess. I was bound by tutelage, but my original master abandoned me.

You'd like the name of the sorceress I worshipped, though.

[tis_disapproval]

I give you my absolute assurance it wasn't me.

Nevertheless, it seems they did you a favour.

[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...

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Who did me a favor?

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

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

[tis_disapproval]

Surely, you were granted liberation through their abandonment, no?

[tis_disapproval]

And what is it you are suggesting?

[feverprophecy.livejournal.com]

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

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, no.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

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