Who: Cassandra Pentaghast & YOU!!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: SS Marsiva
When: week of April 12-18

[When Cassandra wakes, she goes from sound asleep to alert in just a matter of a couple of seconds. She's out of bed immediately with a reflexive reach for weapons that aren't there. Naturally, this merits a frustrated growl, but no matter. She doesn't need a sword or shield to do some damage if she must to get out of...wherever this place is.]

[She scans the room with a little more scrutiny with a scowl before she notices the communicator and picks it up. Enjoy your new view of the ceiling, network, while she looks the device over in her hands because she doesn't understand why she has some vague sense of familiarity with it without ever having seen it before in her life. It's at least something to take her mind off the fact she has absolutely no idea how she got here in the first place.]

What is this?

[Answer her before books start getting stabbed, you guys.]

Comments

[serpentis]

Oh? Are you so curious about my private life, now?

[openhands]

Don't flatter yourself. What you do reflects upon the Inquisition.

[In reality though, she does consider him a friend. And she doesn't let her friends get into trouble. Just don't make her say it, Dorian.]

[serpentis]

Cassandra, you and I both know that the only reflection that matters to me is my face in a mirror.

[/preens]

[openhands]

[can u not?]

How can you possibly take yourself away from it then?

[serpentis]

Sheer force of will.

[He inclines his head softly, tone changing a bit.]

I'm certain Jove will be happy to see you here.

[openhands]

I cannot-- [She stops herself. She almost says it bluntly, but reconsiders and softens her thoughts on the matter of Jove even if by a small margin if only because it's not Jove's (or Dorian's) fault.] I don't know her well enough to say the same.

We do not know the same Inquisitor.

[serpentis]

[He nods softly.]

A common predicament. But I will tell you that she is a fine woman, and has always made me proud to know her. I hope you will learn that soon.

[openhands]

I will judge her based on her own merit. That is the most I can promise.
