WHO: Nari, Lexie, Myr, Korrin, Kylo, You!
WHAT: Catchall for my gals (hmu if you want a prompt)
WHEN: Pre-Tevinter Solace
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: on a scale from Lexie to Nari, what's your work ethic?

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!

"Artemaeus and Asgard are a rather mismatched pair in this game, true," Loki cedes and considers Bene. He isn't actually looking at Bene, of course, he's looking at his mother through the similarities in her failure of a son. Calpurnia was rather ruthless, but her hold on the Imperium was a bit different from how Odin had sunk his claws into things. By in large the two houses did not clash, there was precious little overlap in any of their endeavors or responsibilities, but this might cause some conflict.

And how Loki thrived upon conflict.

"I'm sure my father will be delighted to be dragged into Inquisition affairs, but he is only a guaranteed actor in that he will not publicly disavow Thor. Privately, I expect he shall make our lives difficult in increasingly dramatic ways. If my mother is present, she will temper him, but I did not question her about this Inquisition business. I do not know if she cares.

"She does like your mother, or so she has expressed, and I still cannot tell you what that means. I know not if she would sway Odin to Calpurnia's side or not, or if she would be a free agent in this mess of political nonsense."

"We could arrange a meeting," Bene replies, a bit coolly; he knows better than to speak for his mother, and doesn't want to seem too enthusiastic about family alliances.

"...anyway, Lady de la Fontaine, I can provide you with the contact of a fine Minrathous tailor, should you desire it."

"I should indeed," Lexie replies emphatically. "Honestly, I should consider myself a disgrace in my entirety if I did not find myself properly attired for such an occasion."
