on the nature of oaths

[zuhrovet]

[In the current move, Sasha has just accepted an oath of service from Jedao, a relationship Reshad believes is coercive. I'm not sure whether this properly counts as character rp or a new half-move, but I think we all need some new space to deal with the fallout!]

Sasha is waiting outside the antechamber. She has tied her scarf again, and looks as put-together as she ever does. "Are we having this conversation in my office?" she asks Reshad. "Or over tea, with everyone?"

Re: paging Reshad and Sasha, or anyone else willing to help

[oh, that was really just a humorous musing/thought, not an earnest suggestion! I think it would be too difficult to adequately integrate it into a timeline that's not radically different from the main one, and it would require some nontrivial divergences from established details/timeline tendencies (e.g., Virmad being a magistrate rather than an Inquisitor; he wouldn't be temperamentally suited for administrative work at all so it would have to be a very different Virmad to fit the bill, I think).

a more plausible thought I had was that conceivably Virmad knew/knows Jedao's Rahal ex, presumably after they dated — but I feel like at this point in the conversation it's probably too late for Virmad to mention that that's how he got a firsthand account of Jedao's charm.]

[Oh, sorry I misread you! I'm very literal by default, and of course internet communication makes it even harder to "read" tone.]

[no worries! I could have been clearer, too. :-)]
