crystal. turn on your location jude she just wants to talk.

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Tsenka Abendroth
RECIPIENT: All y'all
NOTES: Shortly after this happened.

Right, we've got a few new faces, ( a droll voice, feminine, intensely starkhaven, ) so I thought, having had an interesting night, that I might offer you all a bit of advice if you are new to Kirkwall.

( you know, not just rifters don't know about kirkwall. )

Being as I've had a year or so now, in it. Do not, unwarily, as an elf or a mage or some exciting combination of the two things what include rifters of the hard to miss variety, go to the Hanged Man. Captain Rowntree knows loads of taverns in the city that you won't get the tar beat out of you, and a few where you might be able to arrange it a bit more consensually. And I can ask him if his face scares you. Plus I know a few.

Comments

private. no one is allowed to hear him banter.

[luaithre]

A fine way to talk of disfigurement.

[ Knowing what she actually means, he is kidding; a thing she will have to trust based off context rather than tone. ]

private ∞ if you insist

[delphian]

Do they even notice the scars, past the expression?

[luaithre]

[ A sound which stands for: fuck off.

But; ]

Is everything alright?

[armd]

How do you know if you're a 'hard to miss' rifter or not?

[delphian]

If you weren't one, you'd be sure you weren't. Simple that way.

[armd]

So you think that I am.

[youwonscience]

I can contribute a couple, though honestly, they might be the same ones you already know. But it's a good thought, we should add it to the welcome packet.

[delphian]

Being fair, most of them are shitholes.

[youwonscience]

Not arguing that, but "places you're less likely to be robbed or threatened" could still be useful to people. Granted, there's a certainly level of "baseline oblivious to your surroundings" we probably can't fix, but worth a shot.

[incaenstrix]

[ With the earnest air of someone making notes: ]

That is good to know, Messere. Are there any others to avoid?

[delphian]

All of Lowtown on your own, ( the restraint it takes her not to finish that sentence with 'sprog' is incredible, ) safety in numbers, eh?

[incaenstrix]

[ She gives a noise of acknowledgment. And, a little shyly, as if embarrassed to boast of her savvy: ]

I don't go out on my own. I try not to, at least. I know elves are sometimes kidnapped from the South.

[tender]

Did something happen?

[delphian]

Nah, I'm a fast walker.

[tender]

I'm glad.

We might include this in the material we give Rifters while they're quarantined, I'm not sure anyone does warn about walking through Lowtown in the evening. Did someone try to pick a fight with you while you were there?

[delven]

What's wrong with the Hanged Man? Other than the beer being half piss and the wine being half beer and half the customers just coming to gawk and say they sat on the very bench where the Champion and her companions sat.

[ she's doing a tremulous overexcited voice for the last bit that sounds like it comes with wiggly ooOooOh fingers ]

Never had any other problems there. Well, and the meat. But all of that you bring on yourself.

[delphian]

I'll be fair, that's all I was avoiding it for in the first place and they are mostly shitholes in Lowtown. One tricky moment with the unwary, you think: eh, maybe we have a little chat.

Anywhere else you like the beer better?

[foolsmakeitcolder]

Is everyone all right? What happened?

[delphian]

No one'd be finding out like this if we weren't, champ, stand down.

private ∞

[foolsmakeitcolder]

I'm the matchmaker. I asked one of the sailors at the docks where he'd recommend for a drink that wasn't too rowdy.

I'm very sorry. Should've gone to check it out myself.

[glossator]

Is that really a problem specific to just the one public house? I was under the impression that was Kirkwall's natural state as a whole.

[delphian]

You're not wrong, ( cheerfully. ) Maybe I ought've said, don't fuck around with Lowtown by yourselves. You've got a real 'rob me' sort of accent, for instance.

[glossator]

Oh, trust me. I'm aware.

[ghostaught]

Which of those things are you?

[delphian]

Unworldly circle elf, me.
