we just have a few questions.

The Interrogation Meme

Your crimes were unspeakable, your lies were innumerable, but finally you've been caught. They bring you in, sit you down, and chain you up. No matter what power you have, no matter how strong you are, you're not going anywhere, so get comfy.

It's going to be a long night.

Rules

1. Post with your character, canon, and any prefs. Note whether captor or captive.
2. Tag around to other characters.
3. Roll for an option.

RNG OPTIONS

1. Truth serum: You know this person isn't going to confess easily, but you've got a surprise for them. This serum ought to loosen their lips a little.
2. Torture: The old-fashioned way might work best for this particular subject. How about those thumbscrews?
3. Bargain: You've got something they really want, or really need. If they fess up, if they tell the truth of the matter, they'll get it.
4. Blackmail: So, remember that night about ten years ago...? You know something they don't want the rest of the world to know and you're going to use it.
5. Seduction: Just because they're tied to a chair doesn't mean you two can't have a little fun, right?

"What makes you certain I'm not the boss?"

She doesn't respond to the comment about Orlais--oh, she's visited, but she's never felt comfortable there. Her partner was more capable of blending in there, but 47 was capable of blending in anywhere. Diana didn't enjoy the social game that was the primary local pastime in Orlais.

That said, her question has an obvious answer. Even restrained as the Iron Bull is, he's an incredible physical threat, large and well-muscled and trained in how to use that. Anyone entering his proximity would have to be some degree of expendable, regardless of how well-behaved he's been. And they've sent her in here in her tidy skirt-suit and high heels.

He huffs, not a laugh, just a quiet, amused sort of noise at the turnaround. So he's not getting an answer, but he guesses that's okay. Would probably be stupid to expect any answers to anything right now, even when he ends up actually wanting one.

"Okay. So, you're the boss, and you're... tired of the paperwork, decided to live a little." Like working out roles with the guys, not as Hissrad, who'd leaned more toward handing them out himself and giving orders, but as the Iron Bull, laying out an idea just to see where the other guy's going to take it. He isn't convinced, as much by the fact that she hadn't outright confirmed it as by the other, more practical reasons — easier to lie without actually lying even when lying's something you're good at, and easier to make other people believe it too, sometimes — but that's no reason not to go along with it and see where it goes. "That or I'm just that important. Hey, someone tell you the Iron Bull's got a big ego? Watch out, or you're going to flatter me."

The chains clink as he shifts, habit getting him starting to throw an arm over the back of the chair before he remembers he can't. That's okay. If it's convincing, it will convince. If it isn't, it won't. It's hard to tell. His guys would expect a little more in the voice, he thinks, but someone who hasn't ever spoken to the Iron Bull... It probably doesn't matter. Anyone who's either this unafraid of him or this good at hiding it's probably pretty good at seeing what isn't there, even if they didn't know him at all before.
