Who: IT'S A GAME MINGLE GET IN THE VAN
Broadcast: If you want!
Action: All of it!
When: Second half of the month.

[hey everyone! how's it been going? how's medieval-fun-time-world treating you? anyone pillaged and burned anything yet? got kicked out of the castle? been planning expeditions? registered for jousting? busy angsting for the last two weeks on your ship?

this is a mingle for everybody, whether they're hiding in the volcano, out and about in the city, or up on one of those random random stations where you can get quirky souvenirs.]

[ If there's one thing that's never changed about Piper Halliwell it's the need to keep herself busy. She's always gotten more than a little antsy when she didn't have anything to do, even when what she craved was a break. This had only furthered more in her stay in the Black Woods of Aather. When your only options for things to do was cleaning the treehouse dorm or attending games, neither of which were very appealing, you burn out rather fast. Even quests weren't anything like actual jobs and left something to be desired.

In short, it was very easy for her to go stir crazy in a place like that.

The fleet itself was a different story. Despite whatever memories she might have re-obtained, she'd been living in a practically magically-growing forest for months now. You couldn't go a day there without some new addition popping up. She remembered magic even before that, the extremities of which she couldn't quite compare with that place. Magic was and will always be a huge part of who she is, so being in outerspace is just another stresser for the woman. The small ship and laughable cooking methods to a chef withstanding.

It's why when she was given half the chance to escape the confines that's exactly what she did. It's not like she wasn't used to small living spaces with a lot of people, she was, but it was the first time in months she could do something outside of... Trying to take care of some teenagers or avoiding being turned into a cat or something like that. And even it was on medieval funtime land it was better than nothing. Way better.

Which is why she can be found in several places:

» THE JOB BOARD For anyone that knew her even a little, it's not much of a surprise to find her eyeing the job board and mumbling to herself. Let's not join in on monster fighting, thanks, is an idea that seems to come up a lot. But she does seem to keep in mind anything with food or, at the least, gardening. She'll be there a lot gathering as much as she can do. This is how she copes and it's been months.

» THE MARKETPLACE Once she's finished a job or two she'll be seen walking around the marketplace. She seems to glance at the clothes and consider them, but mostly shakes her head. That's not something she wants to be wearing either. Her focus seems to be on gathering what small food supplies she can. She does eye chalk, mirrors, and herbs, too, but moves on from those as well. At least she manages to make small-talk with the shopkeepers, but she's definitely not focused on that.

» THE VOLCANO Or maybe you catch her at the volcano at some point! If you do she's probably watching the holograms in a bemused fashion and giving a snort at particular remarks. It seems there's another person who doesn't really take well to this game on the planet, but she's really trying not to get in the middle.]

[Manolo is aware that more money means they can create a better ship, and a better ship means a better chance of getting away from Atroma and finding a way home. So, he's decided to try some of these out.

Unfortunately, he's only ever had one job his entire life, and that went down the toilet pretty quickly. He's not sure if he'd be any good at any of these. He's squinting at the offers, confused. ]

...Why would anyone want to harvest spider fangs?

[ Piper's invested enough in looking over the boards that she's caught off guard at the sudden voice. Looking back towards the man she pauses briefly. The simplest answer is "potions". At least, that's the one that races to the forefront of her mind even if she doesn't remember using any in it. But the Book of Shadows probably had one somewhere she didn't remember.

And even she didn't use her magic regularly at all lately, so she goes to the next best answer: ]

Really archaic medicine? Just a guess.
