I don't really think it would be hard for an Argonian to swim in pretty much anything that wasn't way too heavy, though they probably wouldn't wear them to swim anyway. I doubt everything they wear would look identical to that, it's just a reference for the general style.
I think it might be time to start dealing with Dirssi right after the timeskip. She would have no real choice but to wait while the college is in disarray and recovering, but she wouldn't wait forever.
Well, I have a question. Will we have a chance to RP the immediate aftermath of the battle after all demons are cleared, or will it be an immediate timeskip?
Whatever it is, Ssarak will definitely join in.
I remember Lucius said another collab was starting, and I mentioned that I would join, but then after Fallen mentioned that they should probably wrap the scene up, I just assumed the GMs were writing that. Otherwise, I would have definitely joined in on that collab.
I was not aware there was another collab going. I suppose Ssarak could have been fighting something else at that time. Or more likely, trying to direct the frontlines to prevent them from falling.

Is there another collab going, or is this scene wrapping up?
As the group was beginning to leave, Rukeewei nodded back to Ariel with a smile. "You're welcome. I wish you luck settling here. If you get a chance, you should take the opportunity to enjoy the festival. I myself will be heading over there this evening once my brother takes over here."

Once they had dropped off most of their belongings in their rooms, the group left the inn to go to the tailor Rukeewei recommended. As they neared the shop, another impressive sight came into view. In the center of town at a sort of junction between the districts was the city's Hist tree, which was quite a bit larger than the sapling they made camp near a few days prior. It stood out drastically from the buildings around it, but was impressive all the same. It was surrounded by a fence at least twice as tall as the average person, with two guards posted at each gate, and it was easy to see why. While the tree itself was too large to be easily harmed, there were seemingly hundreds of Argonian eggs in nests near the pools of sap at its base. The only people inside the fence were the treeminders who cared for the tree and the eggs it was nurturing. Needless to say, this particular tree was not likely suitable for Sabine's ritual.

"If you wish to sell cosmetic products, I would make sure to learn more about Argonian styles in this city. I am afraid I am not able to help in that regard, so you will have to talk to locals. I suppose that is as good of a reason as any to attempt to make new friends. Perhaps the owner of this shop with be more open to you, since Rukeewei referred us." Meesei advised as they approached the shop. The building was of a similar, modest construction as the inn, and also had its sign written in both Jel and Cyrodilic.

"Yeah, you could also serve other markets as well. There do seem to be quite a few non-Argonians in this city, so you might be able to make something helpful for them." Ahnasha added as they entered the shop.

Just as one would expect, the tailor's shop had sets of clothing neatly slacked on shelves along the walls, with sets of different styles on display on mannequins. The materials ranged from fibers from local plants, to leather from native creatures. One dress was even made from dyed, finely woven spidersilk, though it looked rather expensive. All of the clothing seemed to match the Argonian styles they had seen people wearing since they entered the city. In addition, there were display cases with Argonian styled jewelry positioned in a way that they were easily visible. The Argonian behind the counter set down the book she was reading as soon as the group entered. She had light, tan-colored scales with no horns and green feathers on her head. There was a hint of excitement in her expression at such a large group entering her store. "Greetings, welcome to the Loom and Lapis. I am Speaks-With-Thread, how may I help you?" She said, giving the translation of her name since she saw that the group was mostly non-Argonian.

Meesei answered as she approached the counter. "Our clothing has become worn from our travels, and we would like to find replacements, as opposed to repairs, specifically in the local style. The innkeeper, Rukeewei, recommended we come here."

"Well, he was correct, I can certainly help you there. All of my clothing is handcrafted in the latest styles popular to Thorn. I have clothes tailored for Argonians, as well as other races, in a variety of sizes. If you find something you like, but it is not in the right size, I am of course more than happy to make the proper alterations. Feel free to browse, and ask me if you need any help. Should you need it, there is also a room to my right you may make use of."
Light armor in ESO is clothing. These are what the basic robes for Argonians are: http://eso-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/03/Argonian-Shrike-Male-Front_thumb.pnghttp://eso-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/03/Argonian-Shrike-Female-Front.png. Better versions are adorned with more embroidery and feathers.
Looks like it let me post. I have a few ideas for things to do in the city, especially with the festival. I'm not sure how you intend for Ariel to learn and make decisions about the city, though I suppose the innkeeper could answer questions.

I'm not really sure what clothing styles would be like for Argonians in Black Marsh cities. The only thing I have to go off of is the Argonian clothing styles in ESO, which I guess would probably be similar.
Meesei nodded understandingly. "I see, so how should we go about finding an inn with vacant rooms?"

"We should look for somewhere away from the festival, probably out of this district, which I am assuming is a wealthy district. The inns elsewhere might not be as nice, but it is not like that really matters." Ahnasha advised. They approached and asked one of the guards for directions and were pointed to the far side of the city, just east of the docks. As they left the festival, they saw that the buildings in this area were much less elaborate, and likely belonged to the city's working class. It wasn't what one would call a slum; far from it, it actually seemed rather quaint, but it was unexceptional compared to the rest of the city. Following the guard's directions, they eventually found the inn. It was a two-story building with a sign reading "The Wamasu's Nest," written in both Jel and Cyrodilic.

Stepping inside, they saw that the main room was, surprisingly, quite empty, apart from a pair of Argonians drinking at a table on the far side of the room and an Argonian male behind the bar cleaning one of the mugs, who they assumed to be the innkeeper. It seemed to be more of a tavern than an inn, but from the guard's description, they rented rooms as well as serving drinks. When the innkeeper saw the pack enter, he placed the mug aside and gave a friendly smile. He had chocolate colored scales with red eyes and six, small horns on each side of his head, and was of about average height and build.

"Hmm, I didn't expect to find an inn so empty during a festival." Ahnasha commented as they approached, more thinking out loud than actually speaking to anyone.

The innkeeper gave a chuckle. "Actually, I'm busier than I have been all year, it's just that most of them are gone at the festival. I have rented over half of my rooms in the past few hours. Anyway, how may I assist you?"

"We are actually looking for lodging ourselves, do you still have any open rooms?" Meesei asked

The innkeeper nodded. "Indeed I do, I have four remaining. How many would you like for your group?"

Meesei glanced over to the others, then back to the innkeeper. "I am not sure. How large are each of these rooms?"

"Well, they are designed with two people in mind, but I would say they could hold three comfortably, if you don't mind things being just a bit tight." He answered.

Meesei paused, thinking for a moment. She was not picky at all about how crowded her room was, and fewer rooms would mean spending less gold for their stay. "I do not think we will need more than three." She answered.

"Alright, that will be thirty gold total. Just pick out any three of the empty rooms upstairs. And if you need anything: food, drink, advice on local attractions, just ask me." He responded.

As Meesei was getting the gold to pay for their rooms, Ahnasha figured she would make good on his offer for advice. "I have a question, actually. We have been traveling a long ways and are in need of new clothing. Can you recommend any tailors in the city?"

The Argonian's face seemed to light up upon Ahnasha's question. "Yes, my brother's wife is a tailor. And a jeweler. Quite a talented one, she is. She owns a shop just down the street, closer to the docks. It is called the "Loom and Lapis." You should pay her a visit; I'm sure she would be happy to help you. Tell her I sent you...maybe then she will forgive me for forgetting her hatching day last year."

"Will do...what is your name?" Ahnasha asked.

The inkeeper laughed. "Well, visitors to town have taken to calling me Serves-Drinks-Faster. It's not my name, but I don't complain. No, my real name is Rukeewei."

"Well, thank you, Rukeewei." Ahnasha said politely.

"It is no problem." He said. After he accepted the gold from Meesei, he looked over the rest of the group. "Let me know if you need anything to make your stay more comfortable, and if you have any more questions, I will be happy to answer."
