Nari
I. Working (Gallows)
Despite the hot, sticky, relentless weather, there's still work to be done, and Nari is doing it. Sometimes in a loose light cotton tunic and sometimes stripped to a breastband and shorter leggings (she'd added the breastband after the casual habitual strip of her shirt she'd employed at home seemed to be vaguely distracting), but whether in the oppressive closeness, but shade, of the workshop or out under the blaze of the sun when it manages to peek through the haze, she's out in the Gallows at the constant repair tasks as well as light deconstruction on the finished pieces of the obstacle course to prepare for their move to the Wounded Coast.
Currently swearing and trying unsuccessfully at one of the boards securing the latter—her team had perhaps been too effective—it looks like she could use either help or a break.
II. The Beach Episode (Korrin, OTA, let's all go together)
Okay, maybe some time for leisure. As devoted as she is to working herself into a tired stupor on a daily basis, spending time with Korrin is always something that will make her take a pause. That, and it's a rare nice day. So, off they go to the beaches outside of town with some blankets to spread across the sand, some food, and the intention to heap sand on top of sand and purposefully cover themselves entirely in water that isn't falling from the sky in sheets.
It's gonna be a good day.
III. Wildcard!
She's around~
Lexie
I. It's Hot Up Here, A Lot up Here
Each day of unfavorable weather—which is to say, most of them—finds Alexandrie lounging out on the balcony of the apartments that faces the Waking Sea in dresses with fewer layers, lighter weight fabrics, and less corseting than she would wear out in society. Her hair is up more simply than usual and she looks alternately vexed and content depending on whether or not the breezes are currently blowing past her off the water.
All things considered, it is not a poor place to spend the afternoon. Do come play cards, or read, or chat about current events, or drink, or watch the late afternoon storms roll by in their brief cacophonies.
(Or be smugly used to the heat, you Tevene savages.)
[ impromptu group activities welcome :3 ]
II. Wildcard
Catch her outside painting on the two non-garbage days this month. Sit in the Memorial Garden. Something else!

I - Nari
"Water, or something a little more... relaxing?" His robes are loose enough, flowy and light and pale blues, but he also enjoys the heat so he seems rather at ease. It's nice. Especially when he's spent most of the day in the dark of, well, Darktown. Sunshine and warmth is exactly what he wants.
"Or must that board meet a particular fate before you're free?"
no subject
"Water would be perfect," she says with a nod. "If I get too... relaxed... I may actually devolve into debating the voidcursed thing."
no subject
Once his hands are free of the waterskin, Anders leans in to take a closer look at the problematic plank. A shrug follows. "I could use a little force magic, potentially blow it free, if you want to stand... behind me, likely. I can at least keep it from hitting me." Force isn't something he's all that precise with. It's a shame that healing has no board-removal applications.
no subject
"I'll let you know next time I get into it with a roll of parchment, then," Nari replies good-naturedly. "Hours of fun." She dusts off her hands and considers the board for a few moments longer before throwing up her arms, gesturing at it, and walking around behind Anders with a grin. "Blow away."
no subject
"Just don't tell my husband I'm offering blow jobs to other people, please." And with that and a wicked grin, Anders casts just enough to burst the board off, sending a few splinters flying but they're easily blocked with a barrier. "There. Magic. Practical for every day use."
no subject
You don't hang out with crews of working men day in and day out without getting used to flinging ribald humor around. She moves to pick up the board and toss it into the small pile of scrap she'll pick through later, then sinks to the ground crosslegged to raise the waterskin to him and take a drink.
"Thank you," she says with a nod and a grin. "For both water and board removal services."
no subject
There's a short pause as he gets comfy, before he shrugs. "Perhaps not the splintering. But magic used here and there, in practical ways, since it truly can make life easier. If I could see that come to pass in my life... Well. There are actually a lot of things I'd like to see come to pass in my lifetime. My wishes aren't all that simple."
His smile changes to something a little wistful. Doubtlessly she wants to see some serious changes too. Her people don't have it easy, not by a long shot.
"Change is difficult, especially when there are people who benefit from it not happening."
no subject
She hums thoughtfully about the magic, nods slowly. Nods again about his thoughts on change. Stretches out her legs. "As long as there's the Imperium to point a finger at, I think it'll be hard to get to that kind of open daily use. It's just a quick jaunt down the path from breaking boards off obstacle courses to mages ruling us all with iron fists, you know," she says wryly. Come on Anders, everyone knows that.
"You'd think if people were afraid of that kind of thing happening to them, they'd be less keen on inflicting it on others." But here we are.
