In the turning of the seasons, in life and death

WHO: Church, Malcolm, Rachette, YOU
WHAT: Present timeline catch-all
WHEN: Guardian /wiggly hand
WHERE: Up down all around Skyhold
NOTES: Nab me on plurk if you want a specific starter

Church is starting to spend a lot more time in the tavern than he ever did before. Sometimes he's just hanging around, taking some notes. Sometimes he's cleaning up tables with a rag. Sometimes you can actually see him in the back doing what may or may not be actual work. Crazy! He's also spending quite a bit of time around the stables, trying really hard not to look intimidated by the steeds, learning to put on saddles, and you may even see him up on one. This is madness. This is Skyhold.

Rachette does a lot of training, whether it's with her blades, doing her best to cut up a dummy, or doing sick backflips off walls or generally trying to get her parkour on, or at a table with a bunch of scrap fiddling with traps. She's also fond of going out hunting. You can perhaps find her debating with a merchant about the price of turning a rabbit pelt into a pair of gloves or a nice hat. She sometimes hangs nearby classes without trying to look like she's actually sitting in. Learning but not like...being a nerd okay shut up who likes learning not her.

Malcolm hovers around the healer tents more than he ever usually does, either visiting those injured or getting injuries checked up on. He also seems to be making a point of starting to see if there's anything he can do to help despite not being a healer. His training has more to do with keeping the skills he does have sharp, whether through archery (where he has an interesting new bow that hasn't made an appearance yet), or working out, or sparring. He's willing to give advice to people that seek it. And as ever, there's always some point where he can be seen around the kennels or otherwise being with is poodle companion Milady, playing, training, being at least mildly adorable.

Alan lifts his eyebrows, seems a little surprised himself. It takes a moment for the disconnect to... connect. He shakes his head, wiggles the nail as though this elucidates matters. Like. At all.

"No, for building them. What do you think we'd need?"

[motherfucking_ghost]

"Oh! Well, fuck, in that case, we might wanna talk to, like...someone that knows how to actually build these things. Like. Wagons and carts and shit. Because I don't know the first thing, but we'll definitely need more nails and we'd need wood and we'd need wheels." And he might have spent some time rebuilding Skyhold and knows as well as any dumbass how to swing a hammer, but if you tell him to build one, it's gonna be the ugliest piece of shit that probably won't even go anywhere. "The experts."

[alankazam]

"Wheel experts."

Alan sounds that one out, adding the nail to a drawer (iron, no shine at all, that goes with the skillet).

"How do you think we find one of those?"

[motherfucking_ghost]

"Experts in these things! Not just wheels. Things with wheels. C'mon, there are all kinds of stupid experts, maybe there are specific wheel experts. Experts in wheels. I don't know!" That nail is not going to stay there, but he'll get back to that later. "Put up an advertisement? Ask around?"

[alankazam]

"Can we hang it in here, do you think? The advertisement?"

Wheel experts sought: Enquire within.

"Should it have pictures?"
