[ OPEN ] You'd Think I'd Know Where I'm Going

WHO: Jim Kirk & You
WHAT: Late catch-all for late August
WHEN: Roughly August 15 - August 31 (feel free to backdate for timey-wimey necessitiy)
WHERE: Around Skyhold
NOTES: Flirting, charmingness, possible bad language, possible head-butting, possible fights, general shenanigans



After the emotional trek to Asher's home and back, Kirk found that he was rather glad to be back within the walls of Skyhold. It was familiar and comforting and he knew what he could do here to keep his mind off things. To keep his mind off the passing of a friend that could have been, keep his mind off injustices in Orelais, keep his mind off his own situation. Funny, how death brought those things to surface with startling clarity.

He can be found in the early mornings running around Skyhold's perimeter, followed quickly by moving to working on his horsemanship at the barn (which in variably also means that he will spend some quality time around the bog unicorn, which in his mind he has unofficially adopted). More often than not he is also accompanied by a small black and white cat who has something suspiciously like a mustache on its upper lip. Don't tell Anders.

From there things are a bit more difficult when it came to finding ways to fill his time, except on the days when he was teaching lessons in math, science, and hand-to-hand self-defense. That latter of which he can now join in on since he has fully recovered from his previous injuries. It meant that more people were hitting the dirt, but that's how it was supposed to be. You didn't learn if you didn't come out with a bruise or two.

Of course he usually finds his way around to the library, usually in search of another story to read since he's not much of one for the historical texts anymore, biased as they tend to be in his view. Maybe he's napping. What? It's comfortable there. But why just ready about places in the library when he can out and explore in the woods outside Skyhold? Granted, he never goes far, but it's something and for just a bit he can pretend he's Captain Kirk exploring a new and exciting planet again. Let the Rifter have his tiny fantasy. (Invariably, Leonard the Cat tends to join him on this too, complete with fashioned harness and leash to keep him from wandering to far.)

And if all else fails he makes his way to the tavern, where he can easily be convinced to share a drink, sing a song, or maybe turn the tables and convince you to play some chess.

Library

[personal profile] sunshinethroughgrey 2016-08-25 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Bethany eyes the boots in front of her, propped up in front of the shelf that she needs to get to for her studies, and then at the man napping in the chair there. One corner of her mouth lifts in amusement, as she looks around. If Dorian catches him, this man is all but done for. So she gently puts down the other books she's been gathering, and lifts his feet up slowly.

Both to wake him up - and yes, to get her book. "Rise and shine, serah. If you're that tired you might want to think about heading back to your rooms."

Re: Library

[personal profile] sunshinethroughgrey 2016-08-25 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Bethany chuckled softly as she shifted around behind him, going to search the shelf for the volume she was looking for. She glanced over her shoulder at him, her mouth dimpling.

"You know, for all the complaints I hear about there not being enough books here -- it's a pleasure to meet someone so overwhelmed by the amount of them that it puts him to sleep like a baby."

Tavern

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2016-08-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ariadne loved evenings in the tavern. It was more than just a reminder of Marcel. More than the fact that it was the Rifters' meeting place. There was an energy and excitement to the place. Oh, sure. Some people came to drown their sorrows. But more came to celebrate, to tell stories, to dance, to share songs.

More often than not, Ariadne could be found perched on the railing running along the second floor. But tonight was a different story. Tonight, she'd been coaxed out into the middle of the tavern, where several natives were performing a folk dance.

It was easy enough for her to follow along, but she giggled and threw her head back and pretended not to know all the steps. That encouraged them to show her again and again and it left everyone in the tavern laughing.

She was pleased.

As the hysteria swelled to euphoria, though, she caught sight of Jim. What sort of dances did they do among the stars? It was a curious question.

With a pleasant smile, she waved him over.
demonicbeauty: (Default)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2016-08-26 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She gave him one of her bouncy, little curtsies, then reached over to grab his wrist. Ariadne tried to avoid touching other people's hands as much as possible--especially when it was a man's hand. But the wrist was safe enough.

"Come and show us a dance from the stars," she said, giving a gentle tug that betrayed none of her actual strength.

Behind her, several customers cheered in approval.

She had thoroughly won them over. Or perhaps they only liked her because they were quite drunk. Either way, Ariadne was pleased for the time being.

I am so sorry about her...

Woods outside Skyhold

[personal profile] justice_is_blond 2016-08-25 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
There's another cat watching Leonard the cat. She climbs onto a nearby rock to get a better view, though Anders keeps an eye on her as she does.

"You should know you're about to be pounced by an attack cat who is very dangerous in her own mind." He can't see who it is she's watching while wiggling her butt, looking about to pounce, but he can at least tell them there's about to be a flying kitten. "Don't flinch, she knows better than to bite though if you hold out a thumb she may gnaw on it."

There's herbs here that have his attention, and he feels not quite safe, but safe-ish, this close to Skyhold.
justice_is_blond: (Just a little amused)

[personal profile] justice_is_blond 2016-08-25 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
He straightens at the voice, dusting his hands off on his robe.

"Why do you-- Never mind. I'm not certain I want to ask that. There's a mental image in my head I truly regret already." Shapeshifting and Sam and Anders definitely regrets everything. "What brings you out here?" Gently he retrieves Purrelden just before she leaps, bringing the wriggling kitten close.

"...And is that the leash Sam was talking about that you made?"

Tavern

Cyril comes to the tavern at night when he isn't other occupied. When he sees Kirk there he approaches with a grin on his face.

"Hello there handsome," he says, clearly comfortable flirting with Jim.

Cyril took the seat, moving into it rather gracefully. He smiles at the question. "I was looking for good company, and I seem to have found some."

Woods Outside Skyhold

[personal profile] el_tybs 2016-08-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
He had already been outside the hold practicing, working on his tracking, and seeing what other animals lived by. Today he was tracking down a rabbit, picking up its trail each time he lost sight of it - damn they were fast. Course it was in the middle of this that he heard someone coming through the woods. Not too long after a familiar scent wafted his way, immediately drawing his attention away.

Finding Kirk was an easy task, but he doesn't make himself known just yet, keeping to the areas right out of sight and low enough that he blended easily into the snow. He'd follow for a moment to see where the man was going before he did anything.

Nikita must be lonely

[personal profile] el_tybs 2016-08-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
It would figure that Leonard would notice, but then again cats were predators and excellent hunters. Knowing that has Sam's tail wagging slowly, he's proud of the cat, but honestly it was making it difficult to sneak up on Kirk.

For a few more moments he just watches, crawling ever closer forward everyone once in a while when neither of them were looking in his direction. Once he felt he was ready Sam is dashing across the snow, quietly as possible, so that when Kirk does notice he's already getting tackled by a large pile of fluff.

(He'll have to give Leonard a lot of treats after this.)

Sometimes, Amélie likes to get away from the hustle and bustle of Skyhold proper. Especially now, with more people returning from Halamshiral, it can be difficult to just hear herself think.

Instead of her staff, which she usually only carries with her at the healing tents, she has a bow strapped to her back. Its presence there makes her smile, even if she's not very skilled at using it. She likes being incognito.

She's in the process of finding a clearing where she might practice her aim when she comes across the man. Ah, but she remembers him, doesn't she? They'd talked one night when she couldn't sleep.

Before she can even ask him how he's been, her gaze drops to the cat on the leash, and her smile grows slightly more wry. "Now that's a sight I've never seen before."
fightorfright: (Default)

[personal profile] fightorfright 2016-08-27 08:51 am (UTC)(link)

Josephine's visits to the tavern have turned infrequent over time, but on this particular day she is on her way back to her office after attending to a matter regarding the Inquisition's wise stores when she spots the man and his chessboard sitting at a nearby table.

the bog unicorn

[personal profile] inuko 2016-08-26 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He'd seen some strange looking animals in his life, and had a fairly grotesque demon-spirit bird rip its way out of his right arm on a near daily basis, and Shino still didn't know what to make of the bog unicorn when he spent time around the stables. Or, more honestly, made his first foray into the stables, half expecting to see Genpachi in uniform with his gelding come walking out the front entrance.

It didn't happen, and he pushed off the strange sense of ongoing disappointment that wasn't reasonable in the first place by concentrating on what was around. Such as the bog unicorn.

"What is that?" He felt much the same way about the dracolisks if he was being entirely honest, but for all this world wasn't exactly on a leading technology edge, it had his own beat when it came to variety in what people tamed to ride. He wasn't sure the tradeoff was anywhere near worth it. "Is that metal?!" Is that animal okay?

Running

[personal profile] doneisdone 2016-08-26 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Teren almost always serves the Night Watch, which means she's most often up and about in the wee hours while the other Wardens are still fast asleep in their tents. The early morning is quiet and dull nine times out of ten, so it stands to reason that one person moving is enough to capture her attention. Especially since he is... apparently running in circles around the Keep.

Teren leans against a tree and sips her coffee, watching Kirk pass by every fifteen minutes or so. She makes no comment, but doesn't hide that she's watching him. She has no idea what would compel a person to do this, but it is kinda funny. Must be a rifter thing.
