→ I got all the sounds, got plenty; open
[ Here are a few places one can find Erik within the Gallows on a regular basis:
The Library: Reading a little bit of everything, actually but focusing on recent history reports, whatever passes for science fiction, books about the Fade, and books about religion. Oh and a book or two on elven culture. Shh.
He's here at all sorts of hours but mostly between 11pm and 5am, apparently not sleeping very well otherwise. Why else be in a library at prime sleeping time?
The Smithy: Erik is fascinated by this area and mostly writes notes about whatever process he's allowed to observe here. Leave his little engineering heart alone about it! (Or don't, actually. Bothering him is preferable to the narration.)
The Herb Garden: Because he's curious if he recognizes any plants from home. Spoilers: he doesn't, but he keeps coming back anyway, usually in the early afternoon.
Training Area: Sparring with swords and spears, because there's no excuse not to stay in shape. Also there's a war on? So. Come gawk at the man. It'll be fun.
Anywhere else: He explores the entire Gallows during his quarantine and then does it again afterward, so consider this an open invitation to wildcard me.

→ You should ask around, my city; open
[ Erik discovers the market district in Lowtown and spends an inordinate amount of time there, mostly browsing, but occasionally buying small items. A scarf at one point. Close to the middle of the month he is clearly looking for something specific - jewelry, it would seem. He picks up bracelets, necklaces, earrings, but doesn't seem to settle on anything for a while.
You can also find him in the occasional tavern. He hates drinking alone; join him? ]
→ You should get to work, get busy; closed to athessa & vanadi
[ Erik left a note at Athessa's. Now he just has to wait for them to show up. So he's chilling in the herb garden, again, this time at sunset. ]
no subject
[ look at this guy, whining all the time. yes, he is a bit of a privileged punk, but he gulps another swallow of the booze anyway. and then another, before squinting a bit at erik. ]
Sure, I got a name. I've been here, oh, a month or so. I'm pretty famous, you know?
no subject
[ He sure is whining, isn't he? Erik raises an eyebrow in question but pours this guy more wine. Clearly he needs it, shitty or not. ]
I been here a little less than that, so I don't know the names in the streets just yet.
no subject
It's not Novigrad, that's for sure. But it has some simularities. For example, we're in Lowtown right now. Hightown, as you can probably guess, is higher up. That's where the rich and nobility apparently live. [ he wishes he lived there, but the gallows will have to do. ]
Apparently you don't want to go to Darktown. I heard it's bad news down there.
no subject
I hear somethin' bout giant spiders in caves. [ Another swig of wine. ] Mostly that's what my ass is tryin' to avoid.
no subject
Something like that. I try to avoid danger too, unless there's someone bigger and stronger than me to fight it.
no subject
You one of those 'lover not a fighter' types?
no subject
no subject
At least there's no lack of good lookin' people.
no subject
I shall gladly drink to that. Though, it's not always what's on the outside that matters.
no subject
[ Still. Drink? Drink. ]
no subject
I'll drink to that. Thank you for the compliment, my friend.
no subject
Instead, he just drinks again. ]
What do you do when you're not singing songs to the drunk masses?
no subject
[ he takes a sip of his wine, peering at erik above the rim of the cup. ]
Before ending up here, I was correcting the common folk's beliefs on a certain race, which they often misjudged.
no subject
[To all of that, really. Erik tries to imagine this guy carousing as he knows it and has trouble envisioning it. ]
How was that going?
no subject
his luck hasn't been so great here, alas. ]
Which part? The carousing or the changing people's minds?
no subject
But if you wanna tell me stories about other people's spouses and you, I ain't gonna stop ya.
no subject
[ he grins a bit sheepishly, takes another sip, and then shifts in his seat as if trying to get more comfortable. ]
Not too bad, actually. It's a slow process, but as I traveled the Continent, so did my songs. And people began to see the man I sang about in a different light.
no subject
[ Boy does he ever. Erik drinks as he listens to this man discuss changing public opinion. ]
What did your muse think of all this?
no subject
He was never very appreciative. He claims he doesn't care what people think, but I know that's not true.
