SATINALIA IX: DA4 EVE

[rowancrowned]

HAPPY SATINALIA 


 

'Twas the night before DA4, and all through the house, we found ourselves wondering, is a nug analogous to a mouse?

 

The writers were fired, Cullen’s VA got weird, ten years have passed, and most of us are still here.

So as our computers overheat, none of them upgraded since Inquisition, we say thanks to the mods, still here of their own volition.

Here’s to a near decade of waiting, roleplaying, and friends, through tags and logs and only a few dropped threads.

May we all enjoy Veil Guard, a Thedas unfamiliar and unknown, though ‘Fade Rift’ has the cooler name, if I may say so.

how to play:

1. tag with a toplevel for your characters. (possibly include division + projects for ease of identifying coworkers!)
2. reply to other's tags with what your character got theirs for satinalia.
3. rake in those approval or disapproval points. we support both friend- and rival- mances.

Delivered by Guilfoyle (who has a sack of such packages), an extremely fine pair of close-fitting leather trousers, well-made to her measurements, designed for range of motion as well as aesthetics. With them: several sketches of what Gwenaëlle has been thinking about for her formal wear design, incorporating a train-skirt and similar trousers, with several fabric swatches clearly intended for Astrid to start choosing between.

[dissolving]

There are only so many illiterate Riftwatchers, and he doesn't figure Fifi'd ask —

One of the cooks presents Astrid with a small quantity of muffins. Some are actual chocolate, and baked more recently than the second batch, which rely on a couple of nut and root-based substitutes. They're palatable enough, but don't taste much like the real thing.

Thunked in front of her plate one morning is a jug of water labeled ANTIQUE SNOW. Then he sort of noogies in a fresh hair wreath.

[inmycare]

A pair of thick leather gloves, good for riding (or, presumably, scooping up animals in an emergency). Delivered in person, with brisk think nothing of it vibes that may suggest he's faintly afraid of having overstepped and is compensating.

[reparo]

Delivered in person, although please ignore the sheepish little blush because she knows it's a stupid gift, is a collection of wooden branches - different sizes, different trees too - and a quick For whittling, not because you've been naughty.

No further explanation given, there's someone calling her name five miles away and she needs to dash.

A chamberpot, clean but clearly secondhand, with a note inside it reading: Just in case. Barrow

P.S. would also make a fine hat for Lazar

Also inside it (and hygienically sealed) is a small bottle of whiskey.

One of the first set of Griffon Rider Goggles Jayce has crafted based on the designs of a rebel Warden in the Anderfels. From here: The goggles will keep the wind out of your eyes in the sky, with an additional binocular layer that can be flipped down over your eyes to magnify your vision and allow a clearer view of the surface from great heights. The leather strap is embossed in a pattern of long, uneven swirls (think art nouveau) with the silhouette of a swallow on each end closest to the lenses. It is accompanied by a spiced caramel and a note: For riding/flying. First set. Feedback welcomed. JT

Clarisse tosses a little package Astrid's way that contains a set of simple bracelets... she made them herself, shut up.
Also, she gets a bag of treats and a new brush for Potato.

[allthatgleamsisgold]

A set of bowstrings and an oiled leather satchel pre-packed with a bag of hearty travel snacks.

This is gruffly delivered outside her door.

[succise]

Delivered: a very nice, carved drinking horn.

No note.

[cozen]

From Bastien and Byerly, a small basket indurably woven from reeds, containing two fresh figs, a handful of walnuts, and a fresh cookie with bits of dried fruit depicting Satinalis.
