NOTES: Threadjacking encouraged. A few notices have been left around the Gallows to sign-up for lessons.

Inquisition, now that we're settled in Kirkwall I come to you with two very exciting propositions. As some of you know, I taught how to climb and run the walls and battlements of Skyhold, how to fall from such heights safely but alas this was not as it was at home when Skyhold was so contained. But here we are in Kirkwall! I can truly teach you how to leap from building to building if your desire and to dive into the waters from buildings and from the rigging of a ship. Of course, we start small so as not to injure your good self but if that prospect sounds intriguing, please come find me. I am Araceli Bonaventura, at your service. I'm either working at the Gallows or by the docks or you might happen to look up.

The second is a thing to celebrate and I could say that I do it as leader of the naval projects but truly? I do it as someone who loves cooking and seafood, to finally be back by the water after so long removed from it. Tell me, Inquisition, what are your favourite seafood dishes? Your favourite meals from Antiva or Rivain or places such as that? Because I thought it might be an idea to have a cookout by the waves towards the end of the month, say, the twenty-second? Everyone is welcome if they are a fan of good food and good times among friends.

[Also it's her birthday but since they don't really do birthdays that way back home, what better thing to do than have a fun time with people that have all certainly earned it?]

I can climb, but I could probably use some help on the... jumping across distances. The water also poses a problem, for me.

I've... also never had seafood.

[foxsays]

That I can teach if you have the basics, as for the water what is it about it that's a problem?

[Or: how can water be a problem, she can't even actually process that thought to be honest.

Also please enjoy the silence. The small slightly horrified gasp.]

My friend, you must try it, the bounty of the sea is of greater variety than that of the land, there are so many things you can do with it. You must come along and try as many things as you like!

[provenforce]

I don't know how to swim.

[There's a bit of a pause, before she lets out a laugh]

I would like to try it, I've tried tons of food since coming here that I've never had before. Where I'm from we didn't exactly have a wide variety of things to eat.

[foxsays]

Would you like to learn?

[Technically you swam before you ever walked but now isn't the time to spout your beliefs Araceli.]

Living by the sea, we had much of everything that came in from the ships but some things only in certain seasons then of course there were so many things that most of us couldn't afford because they were expensive for all manner of ridiculous reasons. Most of the meats people eat here, I hadn't tried before, I couldn't afford them; too salty to grow lots of crops, same with grazing any big animals.
