Rorikstead, Skyrim, Tuesday Morning

[momslilassassin]

The morning dawned cold and clear in Rorkistead, but it's been a couple of days, so everyone's acclimated and happy, right?

Right?

Well, if not, you'll warm right up after a few hours of hard labor, so up and at 'em, Fandom!

Frostfruit Inn

[momslilassassin]

Frostfruit Inn - Rooms

[momslilassassin]

The rooms of Frostfruit Inn are sparse, containing twin beds for the students and queen-sized beds for the adults who requested them, a table and a dresser. Each room also contains a bowl of local fruits and vegetables, and is lit by wall sconces made of goat horn. Bathrooms...well, thank God for Barry, right? There's also the hole in the ground if you're feeling authentic.

Frostfruit Inn - Bathing

[momslilassassin]

The tubs aren't set up strictly within the inn, but right outside, at the back, where weaved dividers shield them from outside view. There's five of them, and Mralki is doing his best to keep each one filled with hot water while the majority of the Fandomites are at the inn.

If he's not here, you might have to go find him, though, as hot water doesn't hold forever at these temperatures. At least there are some fires nearby, to keep both you and the spare bathwater warm. You can also loiter around and see if Johnny's going to stop by again and help you out (and not just to see him shirtless, stalkers).

Sorry but Johnny doesn't need to be there today. Barry converted one of his solar generators to heat all the tubs. And somehow even give it some bubbling action.

That's right kids. Barry just made you a bunch of Jacuzzi's. ENJOY!

Re: Frostfruit Inn - Bathing

[flickofthewrist]

Flick wasn't going to ask how these old ass tubs were now hot and bubbling (thanks Barry!) but he was going to hop in and enjoy it. He'd kept his shorts on because he didn't need to be caught naked out here.

Now, he was just going to sit and soak for awhile.

Frostfruit Inn - Common Room

[momslilassassin]

The large common room is the heart of Frostfruit Inn. On one side sits a bar, where you can order drinks and local delicacies from Mralki. There is a large fireplace at the center of the common room to keep everyone warm, while tables and chairs line the walls of the remaining real estate.

Frostfruit Inn - Bard

[momslilassassin]

A bard roams the common room, strumming her lute as she sings various traditional songs of Skyrim. Dance, or request a song!

Rorikstead

Rorikstead - Roofing

[momslilassassin]

Fandomites were split up in two groups today. The Nords point one of them to the roofing materials, straw and wood, which should be used to put the roofs of Cowflop Farm and Rorik's Manor back together. Try not to fall off.

Re: Rorikstead - Roofing

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

Barry was up on the roof thatching away with all the straw available.

Yep. Thatching.

He felt very medieval.

Re: Rorikstead - Roofing

[wildandbrave]

. . . well, why not? Cosette and a few other girls at the convent school used to climb onto the roofs of one of the buildings every now and then just to sneak a look over the walls.

She was in jeans and a very heavy sweater with her hair tucked up under a fleece cap -- that was new, and a rare sight since even when she was wearing contemporary clothing she had invariably stuck to dresses and skirts until now. She'd only bought the jeans before the trip with the knowledge that they'd be doing work, but practical considerations aside, she thought she could get used to them.

So there she was, perched on a ridgepole with some thatching material, singing cheerfully as she worked in a way that rather resembled the lark she'd been nicknamed after as a child. Only this time the lark was happy, and did sing.

Re: Rorikstead - Roofing

[stacyexperiment]

Gwen had no idea how she ended up in this group, but she'd climbed out her window onto the Parkers' roof more than once to get some air, so this wasn't so bad. She was just being very careful in walking around, that's all.

Re: Rorikstead - Roofing

[not_a_moonie]

As much as Alana swore her wings were useless, they really helped a girl's balance at times like this. She kept them partially unfurled as she worked near the edge of the roof, carefully placing bundles of straw where they were needed.

She was surprised to realize she was enjoying herself. The work itself wasn't what she'd call fun, but the view made up for it.

Re: Rorikstead - Roofing

[dauntless-four.livejournal.com]

Four was not cut out for Amity at all, so he fought his fear of height to work on the roof instead of planting things and presumably singing along to banjo music.

[thegc161kid.livejournal.com]

Alex ended up in this group, which to be honest she didn't mind at all as she set about working. After all she had some experience in walking over rooftops back home.

Rorikstead - Fixing the Farm

[momslilassassin]

The dragon's attack left the farm in a severe state of disrepair. Help put the fences back up, plough the fields again and help the farmers put their seeds in the ground once you're done.

Re: Rorikstead - Fixing the Farm

[theheadkid.livejournal.com]

Yesterday's work had left him pretty tired so Travis went for something a little lighter today. Of course, he didn't count on various farmers staring at his scar and asking him out it incessantly.

Apparently, one farmer told another who told another who told another that he'd gotten his head kicked off by a giant. Travis...didn't correct them because that was a cooler story than the actual one.

Re: Rorikstead - Fixing the Farm

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

Johnny decided to work the plough today. Not the person plough, but the animal plough. Once he got a good grip, he yelled "FLAME ON!" and used his propulsion to pull the thing around.

If he could do stuff like this every day, he was just going to call himself the Johnny Combustion Engine.

Re: Rorikstead - Fixing the Farm

[throughaphase]

Maybe it was hearing about this trip from someone who wasn't there, but the radio broadcast had left Kitty annoyed. So what if their accommodations weren't great if the people who lived with it all the time needed and wanted their help? It made her a lot more okay with where they were and was fueling her to work harder today. They'd put her to work on the fences, which was actually harder than she would have thought, but that was fine by her.

And if she was missing a certain giant Russian just being here, shut up, she was allowed.

Re: Rorikstead - Fixing the Farm

[beautifulsenshi.livejournal.com]

Planting was something Minako could manage without falling off a roof, or hitting herself with a hammer or... well... fine. She was a klutz for anything that wasn't sports or dancing, but she could put seeds in the dirt just fine.

She was so totally happy that she'd packed a comfy pair of old overalls for the trip, and was happily up to her knees in dirt, singing to the plants and talking to the seedlings to encourage them to grow up big and strong.

Re: Rorikstead - Traveling Salesman

[momslilassassin]

Or you could go shopping. This travelling salesman offers the finest of Nord fashions, at least in Whiterun Hold, if that's more to your liking.

Outside Rorikstead

[momslilassassin]

Outside Rorikstead - Wander the Countryside

[momslilassassin]

In need of a break from all the work? There's a broad expanse of tundra right around the small town that offers a nice view for anyone who might want to wander around. Beautiful flowers stick up from the grasses and if you walk for long enough, there's a small brook or the foot of the mountains to stare up at.

Outside Rorikstead - Adventuring!

[momslilassassin]

Not interested in helping, walking or shopping? Well, there's plenty out there for you to poke at with sticks. You could pick a fight with the Forsworn at Serpent's Bluff Redoubt, or attempt to avoid being used as a baseball by the giants of Talking Stone Camp. And then there's that dragon in the neighborhood*...

* the management advises against going after the dragon. even if you kill it, since you are not the dragonborn, it will return to life the next day.

OOC

[momslilassassin]

Ugh. Need more coffee before OCDing.
