FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Araceli Bonaventura
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Offering advanced parkour lessons and trying to organise a shindig
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Kirkwall
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 started when I was twelve, it's almost ten years. [A long time to get as good as she is with plenty of fits and starts when her body was small and young enough that so much of this is simply muscle memory.] Gaps like this and you should be able to jump them and roll, we can try that on the way back.

[serannas]

Thanks for not giving up on me yet.

[ The accompanying smirk suggests she's kidding and not really putting herself down. ]

I'm ready when you are.

[ She won't get breaks like this in the future, after all. ]

[foxsays]

Anyone can learn this if they're willing to put in the time.

[You get out of it what you put in, but that would make her sound too much like a dad so Araceli shrugs, starts running by the edges because that's when some people start to lose their sense of self when they're up as high as they are (not that it's so very high, Thedas doesn't do dizzying nosebleed buildings like home) until she leads the way back, making the same jump as before but she tucks into a roll instead of showing how to leap and perform a ledge catch.]

Try to jump and land in a roll when you're jumping between things, it carries the shock of it through you and you can get up and keep moving faster. Less easy to hurt yourself.

[serannas]

All right.

[ This time she makes a wider jump and turns it into an awkward roll at the end. Not graceful, but she feels the shock spread out through her body instead of staying in her ankles. ]

That felt better.



[ ooc: would you be okay handwaving the rest of the lesson? ]
