( The Iron Bull. Impressive name. Hopefully nice phone manner? Crystal manner? Whatever. )
Hi, Iron Bull? My name's Ruby, I don't... think we've met. Formally, anyway.
( She sometimes works in the tavern, but lately she's been scouting more than pouring drinks. )
Um... ( And a breath of laughter, self-conscious. ) So Councilor LeBlanc and I were brainstorming a sort of morale boosting competition kind of thing, trying to get different groups of the Inquisition to build some more camaraderie and everything, and she mentioned you as being a good person to talk to. I just wondered if a find of... I wondered what you thought of a kind of capture the flag, fortress warfare with snowballs and if you'd be interested in being involved?
( Suddenly this feels like the most stupid thing she has ever said. )
I like to think I was a good influence in that regard.
Well, presently it's more of a thought project and less of an actual one. She did say that it'd require approval from the Mage Council before it could proceed as an actual thing, though, thus the call. She's definitely still the responsible one.
It's not a bad idea. Good way to channel tensions.
[ But. He's also made his observations in the meanwhile. ]
You know the templars are going to wind up with half of Skyhold eager to run their asses into the ground. Some of them might take that a little personal.
( where is that plurk YIKES emote when you need it? )
But I was thinking randomized teams would help get around that. Maybe not totally, but a little. Templars on all the teams, mages in all the teams, Grey Wardens, etc. Your team can't win if you let other teams run certain members to the ground.

[ There's a warm chuckle from his end. He knew the woman had a sense of humor hidden behind that no-nonsense exterior.
Ruby, he knows less about. And knowing more about anyone is usually grounds for him to rouse himself and get involved? ]
And she's endorsing this? How'd that happen?
