WHAT In light of the recent violence at Hasmal, Tantervale, and Starkhaven, and influx of refugees fleeing south, Holden's interested in generating some good-will and sympathy for the beleaguered folks. His idea is this: publishing a series of pamphlets (thanks, Bastien!) spotlighting random refugees with little humanizing anecdotes, likes and dislikes, and accounts of their having to flee their homes and trying to settle in Kirkwall. He won't be looking to publicize anything particularly contentious that may take away from the basic message of hey let's be more compassionate to these people, which includes some care with regard to how Tevinter is spoken about, given that there are refugees from there. The idea is to try to improve conditions for a group of people in a way that lets them speak for themselves.

WHO That's where you come in! This is open to anyone from any division who's willing and able to spend some time talking to refugees around Kirkwall. Feel free to choose partners from characters who did or didn't sign up to do the work with.

HOW This is meant to be pretty low-key, so feel free to handwave or rp anything around the process of actually interviewing NPCs, up to and including the interview, any aftermath, inboxing Jim to complain, whatever. As long as characters come up with some pertinent information to pass along and act in good faith, it's all good. Holden'll be taking this endeavor very seriously and weeding out anything that might hurt the message and/or anyone who seems to be doing more harm than good. Let's Not Terrorize The Refugees, Guys. On a related note, interactions will be mildly negative at the very worst, no one need worry about getting NPCs out to pick a fight.

WHEN OOCly, sign ups will close by AUGUST 31. I'll be handing out information about the NPCs your character will encounter as sign ups roll in. You'll be expected to write a few sentences to a paragraph of a mini-report by SEPTEMBER 15 that I'll subsequently compile into a full report.
