[open] I'm just a believer that things will get better

[build]

Characters: Ariadne (build) and YOU!!!
Date: random times this week
Location: all over the shell
Situation: a catchall for ariadne is poking around the shell and being nosy
Warnings/Rating: none that I can think of.




Ariadne might still be dead set that this was all a dream, and that a good chunk of the people that inhabited this place were simply projections. But that didn't stop her from exploring as much of the shell that she could.


Earth Sector:

In her time on the shell, Ariadne has slowly grown fond of her "home sector" and because of that, a good chunk of her daily time was spent roaming around all the shops there, casually chatting (well, as much as she could) with the vendors and people that inhabited it. And to any casual bystander, she honestly looked like she was enjoying herself, and for the most part she was.

It was just from time to time, you might catch sight of her looking almost sad as she squinted up to the sky, to try and see if she could perhaps finally bend the dream.

Fire Sector:

Whenever Ariadne found herself wandering over towards the Fire Sector, she made sure to always bring her sketchbook. Simply so she could perch herself at the edge of one of the fountains to sketch whatever might have caught her eye that day, be it: One of the fountains, or buildings or maybe even a random person that seemed to be in the same location as her.

You shouldn't be here:

Ariadne knows that the only way to get any real answers, was to go out and look for those answers herself - she’s always been a go-getter (for the most part). So there she was, attempting to blend into the background, simply hoping that she was going to stay unnoticed for as long as she could, just so she could get all the information (be it eavesdropping or snooping or whatever) that she could before someone finally asked what she was doing and she was going to have to come up with some ridiculous lie yet again.

ooc: basically, I know these are all sort of vague threadstarters, but given that Ariadne tends to snoop and do a lot of random things. I’m cool with whatever might work here, and can basically roll with practically anything (have her creeping like no other or run into someone - whatever) just give me your CR.

"It was something I recall a friend recommending to me," Tazendra said, "when one is living in a city and cannot ride regularly. And the supplies for painting are an expense when one is trying to set up a household." Which was frustrating for her: so many of her hobbies cost money, a fact that she had not considered until having to count every last juulan. And her studies of magic were stalled until she could find something to actually power spells.

"An architect, then." Tazendra only knew about architecture from the time she had to commission repairs after blowing a hole in her residence with magic, but she was used to employing people who knew more about their craft than she did. "Is there much call for your work in the city?"

sorry this took so long

Ariadne just finds herself, nodding in understanding to what the woman say, only to let a small smile spread across her face. "I'd offer to let you borrow some of my supplies, but sadly this is all that she had." And given the rationing that was taking place, she wasn't exactly sure if she would be getting anymore drawing supplies for a bit.

"And to a degree, yeah, I've been staying fairly busy." She easily admitted with a shrug of her shoulders and a quick glance around their surrounds. “Given the degree of deterioration that seems to be going on here, I've been able to keep myself busy with looking over a handful of structures." This was still fairly enjoyable for her, even if she was stuck in a dream with no way of waking up yet.

"Granted, I'm still not fully sure if the emperor is a fan of the help or not." and she could only assume that there was a clear reason for all of that.

"You said you were setting up a household though?" This was asked with a clear look of interest, as she was always curious as to how the people here were dealing with things.

"I am. In truth, it has been some time since I have done so previously, and I am without staff or even the advice of my good friends."

Tazendra frowned. "Though even the larger dwellings here need little in the way of staff." Her current lodgings was smaller than the house she had shared when she had lived in the capital, and that had been managed by a single housekeeper. Truthfully, if Tazendra wasn't almost completely ignorant of cooking, she would probably do well enough without anyone: she'd eventually learned something of cleaning when she took up magical experiments.

Ariadne can’t hide her curiosity to that, as she just tilts her head to the side, furrowing her brow at it all. “What exactly do you need staff for?” Well aside from the basic structural things (her mind is always goes to those types of details) she really didn't see why anyone would need staff, as she herself was always more prone to wanting to do things herself and not with the help of others. A fault perhaps, but she was always trying so hard to prove that she could be something more than what she appeared. She sometimes forgot others weren't always like her.

"Well, previously when I lived in a city, my fiends and I had hired a housekeeper to prepare meals and clean. I am not so bad at the latter, but, you see, I have never learned to cook."

Which wouldn't be so bad, but the average Foreigner budget didn't really allow 'living off pub and street vendor food' as a feasible option, which was Tazendra's other habit when she lived in a city or was travelling.
