Wake up babe, it's 4 A.M., time for your "River runs the only PC forge in town" prompt.
Though in greater seriousness, things are busy. River's professional time is consumed with repairing and maintaining the local militia's weapons, helping with decorations for Merrymeet, and the bit where the ironic cult of nails (as in, the small pointy bits of metal you hammer into things) started by her apprentices as a joke about how much River fucking hates making nails seems to be gaining. Well. Lore. Between the three of them the elves of Infernal Arms & Armor have produced several "hymns" they sing while working on long and tedious tasks, and anyone mentioning nails in the forge is going to be subjected to her two smart-ass students casting their gaze to the sky and calling out, "the naiiiiiiiiiiiiiils!" with all evidence of divine rapture.
She really hopes there's no negative consequences for this, but her worry is not stronger than her need to Commit To The Bit.
How Do You Walk In - FUCK | Oak & Iron
Merrymeet is coming up and River's got big plans (to be the trophy on her girlfriend's arm), but it turns out, when you plan something, it helps if you prepare for it. There's snow everywhere and frequent monster attacks, so there's really only one arena to try this out.
So.
One may find River at Oak and Iron of various evenings, bringing a pair of heels with her so she can practice. The early attempts are, well, poor. She may need rescues from trips and falls, or, y'know, you can watch the town's local necromancer plant her face in the floor, that also works.
But since she's here anyway, River's also open for conversation or chess.
(OOC: Due to my own incompetence at chess I'd rather not thread the finer details of the game move-by-move.)
From First Principles | Festival Green
Heels aren't the only thing River is practicing. She's recently taken up smoking after Erik (you know, the whore?) got her a gorgeous skull pipe for Givingstide, and now River can be found on the Festival Green every now and again, seemingly just smoking. Seemingly. She's actually meditating, and as February advances, her behavior changes. She starts passing her hands through the smoke, almost ritualistically, then grasping at...something.
Come ask her what she's doing. Or maybe you can be there when she reaches into the smoke and plucks a small flame from it, like a candle's, to hold between her thumb and forefinger while she laughs her musical, bright laugh of joy.
