I disagree entirely. I'd say that we've been interacting a lot, more than usual. I think we need more action, more intrigue, a mission.Edit: What happened with Allaina and Serge?


Reaching Khenarthi's Roost will lead to a mission, and our characters will be together upon Sharee's orders, so for them, it is mandatory. I just did this part with assigning roles because it is kind of important.

Also, I don't know. If your next post involves both of them, you should send me a message for a collab. I certainly wouldn't mind doing another one of those.
Rukeewei nodded in understanding. He knew well all the stresses and responsibilities than went along with owning a business. He had the fortune of being able to operate his tavern with his brother, but in general, business owners had to make all important decisions themselves, and bear all consequences. He understood that she would have little time. After her last statement, however, Rukeewei seemed to become a bit nervous. He was silent for a few moments before speaking up. "Maybe, well...actually there was something I've been meaning to ask...about. I was...wondering if you maybe would like to, sometime, go out and get some...dinner, maybe? I mean, I know you'll be busy opening your shop today, but...maybe later, or tomorrow, or...something. I mean, only if you want, I just thought it would be nice to get to know you a bit better and I-" Rukeewei asked, his voice trailing off at the end as he started to stumble over his words. He was once again rubbing his neck awkwardly, and he would have been sweating if that were actually possible for Argonians.He was starting to feel like he had turned into his brother or something.
I didn't want to list out everyone, but all our characters are in that list of people Sharee asked for.
The rest of the night was quite a celebration for Sharee. She enjoyed herself in all her usual ways and got drunk enough that she barely remembered what she did the next morning. Of course, it took her about twice as long to get to that point than anyone else. She also acquainted herself with the captain's cabin, her new quarters. Although it could definitely use some improvement, but overall, it was workable. There was plenty of space for her to set up her alchemical equipment and store her ingredients. Anything she couldn't carry on her person, she had to leave behind, so she had far more storage space than actual belongings. The captain's clothes weren't suitable for her, in neither size nor style, so she passed them out to the crew the next day. Actually, anything of the former captain's she didn't want she let the crew take. Books she hadn't read, furniture she didn't like, anything she didn't want, she got rid of. By the end of it, her room seemed rather bare, but it was just the way she wanted it for the moment. Once she had a bit of extra coin to spend, she would be able to furnish it to her own desires.

Near the end of the day, as everyone started to get settled, Sharee prepared to move on to the next order of business. Ever since she had first started recruiting, she had been paying attention to each and every crew member. Most of the sailors had their own roles they knew and had filled, but there were still roles left open that needed to be taken. She had an eye for people, and Kilith had been helpful in giving a brief rundown of the skills each crew member said they had in the notes he had given her. Sharee needed to appoint officers to appropriate positions to keep the ship running smoothly, so she sent a sailor to collect a specific set of people she felt were up to the task.
Hey Free, for a bit of clarification, Meirin is currently outside the infirmary, speaking to that student she and Ssarak saved.
Rukeewei was about to ask about the other reasons Ariel mentioned, but he stopped when she indicated she did not wish to speak about it. When she asked if he had found someone, he rubbed his neck awkwardly. "Oh, well...no. I haven't. I have a lot of friends here, but I have no mate. I do admit, I used to have a bit of a thing for Neer, but I am long passed that. It was a long time ago, and she and my brother are a much better fit. I guess I just haven't put much of a focus on finding anyone. I have thought about it before, but most of my childhood friends are married by now. What about you? Did you ever find anyone in Vos? I assume you didn't find anyone permanent, since you're going to be living here alone...unless something...bad happened." Rukeewei asked, his voice immediately becoming regretful at the end. He felt he might have made a mistake. If she had found and lost a mate, then he would have just brought up a painful memory. He hoped that wasn't the case, and wished he would have stopped to think before speaking.
As they were passing around flyers, Rukeewei struck up short conversations with people he knew or recognized, to give a bit more credibility to Ariel's advertisement. He was more than happy to speak to Ariel when she struck up a conversation, however. "Yes, myself and my egg-brother were hatched here. Our parents were fishermen, which made for a modest lifestyle. Certainly, both of us were used to working from a young age. It's pretty easy to tell just from appearances that this place has a lot of nobility, a lot of wealthy individuals. They are not unique in the fact that they tend to look down on the working class folk, but even so, we did alright. I still have many of my childhood friends, a few of which reside in the noble district. Neercana's family used to have a manor there, but they lost their wealth a few generations ago. Mostly, it was the mismanagement of a few bad eggs in their family, but they survived. Neer's mother opened the Loom and Lapis, then passed it onto Neer when she died. We've all known each other since we were hatchlings, so she and my brother just sort of fell in together. Really she was the only woman he was confident enough to speak to. For me, I just wanted to do something other than fishing for the rest of my life. I've always had somewhat of an affinity for drinks, and to a lesser extent cooking. Once I learned how to brew alcohols, making new and interesting drinks just sorta came naturally. Opening a tavern seemed like a natural choice. I took a loan like you did, then opened the Wamasu's Nest with my brother." Rukeewei explained, giving a brief background of himself and the people closest to him.

After passing out a few more flyers, Rukeewei looked to Ariel curiously. "So what about you? What was Morrowind like, and how were you drawn to alchemy? So far, the body paint you have been testing on me has been working well, so you seem to have a diverse skillset."
Well, probably the opening of Ariel's shop.
"Honestly, I would say it is expected. The entire purpose of this festival is to bring coin to local businesses." Rukeewei said with a smile, giving Ariel's elbow a slight nudge. "And since you're a local businesswoman, I would say you meet that description perfectly. I would just avoid passing them out around other alchemical vendors, to be polite. I could help you if you like. It has been a while since I have seen the festival with someone other than my brother." He offered.

Lorag was still finishing up the last of his wine, but he would probably go wherever the Alpha did. As for Meesei, she still couldn't help but to think about Fendros. Ahnasha said the dose he received was small, but Fendros was family, and there was no real way she would be able to halt her concern. Even so, just as she cared for the health of her pack, she also needed to trust in their judgement, so for the moment, she would remain at the festival.
Noted, I should be able to post before the end of the day.
