we're not lost, we're on an adventure

FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Merrill
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Tips and tricks for navigating the city
WHEN: Now?
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: c:

Hello everyone! If you could do me a favor and not cut any of the long strands of twine you might see around the city, that would be wonderful. It's to help people get around. Myself included - lived here for years and I live for a while and can't remember where anything is!

[ Not that Merrill was very good at remembering where things were when she was in Kirkwall every day anyway, but. ]

If anyone else is having a hard time finding their way around, a ball of twine is the best way! It'll get you back to where you need to be.

[chainlightning]

Well, anyone else might be harder to carry. Then it might actually hurt.

Oh- but you have to let Araceli ride for free, too!

[gatheringstorm]

[That gets the easiest burst of laughter she's had since arriving in Kirkwall.]

Of course, I thought that went without saying.

I could carry bigger people, but...nah. It's not a service I want to offer to just anyone. Then they might take it for granted.

[chainlightning]

You never know! I wouldn't want her to get jealous.

[ Though maybe that would be fun for them. She has no clue. ]

I think people would be silly to take it for granted. It's a very nice offer.

[gatheringstorm]

I don't think she has a jealous bone in her body, so no worries there.

Aw, thank you. Just let me know if you want to be ridiculous together, I can always use the excuse to stretch my legs for a bit.

[chainlightning]

Oh! Well, that's good then.

I always like being ridiculous. It's quite fun! Well, assuming the situation isn't terribly serious, of course.

[gatheringstorm]

Exactly. And I don't know about you, but the first chance we get to not break our backs with work, I want to be ridiculous. We deserve that much.

[chainlightning]

Oh- I should introduce you to Ghostface! That could be fun!

[gatheringstorm]

Ghostface--oh, you mean the griffon! Right? Hell yeah, I want to meet him!

[chainlightning]

Yes! He's adorable, Korrin. And he likes me.

[gatheringstorm]

He'd better! Just tell me what to do so I'm not killed by a griffon hatchling, okay? You don't want to be the one to explain that to Araceli.

[chainlightning]

Oh, absolutely. Bring sausages, to start with -- he loves them. Bring a lot.

Bring even more than a lot, because sometimes he thinks fingers are sausages.

[gatheringstorm]

Yeah, my fingers aren't for eating. But I'll see what I can do about getting him the biggest bag of sausages I can find, for bribing purposes.

[chainlightning]

The good news is that griffons don't seem to be above bribes.
