Downtime during The Rock Reformation

[LaraCooper]

Well, the reforms coming for Luciferian Rock will be significant. Let's post our 3 month downtime plans here. :-)

Mouse is a contented girl. She spends her time still in a flurry of activity.

During the day, Mouse/Lizzy is greasing the wheels of social reform in The Rock. Having revealed her identity, she begins reaching out to those whose lives have touched her. She goes back to her Blackcloak brethren, hugging them and reassuring them that she will find the finances to help them with new equipment, but that the law has to be a real thing now and to please stop taking bribes and be good minions of justice else she will see them in court. She convinces them to accept the leadership of Florence Kelly as the new Captain of the Guard, and establishes deputies in each region of town. She makes an appearance at the new orphanage and soup kitchen that has taken up in Miss Kaylin's former house and makes sure that tutors are hired to begin classes in history, trades, and engineering for a few bright souls. She spends at least an hour of each day with the masons of The Rock, building airy, but solid houses outside of the wall for any freed tieflings who wish to reside near town, offering the protection of the town, and a start to a new life. Her great passion however, has become the establishment of a small mage's school within the temple district. She asks some of her old tutors to participate as instructors and she herself teaches a class that blends ethics and evocation. Having been released from her marriage to Jon, she returns to the palace to sit with ailing Richard, recovering from being possessed, hugs her twin sisters and places great importance on forging their own paths, and flying the skies on Fernando with her brother George of the Griffon riders. She often has meetings, dinners or small parties with her loyal friends and invites Vale to share a space in the library with Boris's herbalism books. Hush becomes a court favorite with his whimsical antics, and impressive performances, while Shak becomes well known by the palace cooks and handmaids, and Tsapps and Smokebeard share hearty laughs about magic and combat. Mave is every bit as busy and is instrumental in the healing process. Mouse consults her closely on all matters religious and medicinal to provide for the citizens of The Rock. Both Elizabeth and her father work together to negotiate an acceptable trade agreement with the Boatmurder clan and Lizzie more finely tunes her leadership skills, tempering her fiery nature with patience and perspective. They become one another's heroes all over again.

Her nights are spent trying to fill orders for her alchemical cosmetics, while dabbling in other herbal/magical concoctions with help from VAle's shop, her father's books, and Hush's willingness to be slathered in funny-smelling poultices. She pours over her father's historical documents, learning all she can about the Horde. It is a fulfilling time and she can look out the window of her bedroom and see campfires beyond the wall for the first time in living memory. Although incredibly proud of all that has and is happening, she still peers over that wall to the horizon. She is hungry for a new challenge, curious about the broader world. With all the bustle and business surrounding her, it is the quiet nights when eyes are tired from pages of reading that she realizes that there is still some form of nameless longing, some piece that seems missing that she cannot quite place, then her eyes close and she dreams.

Also, there will be shopping. Much shopping.

Already discussed in today's session but wanted to recap so that my intentions were clear.

A couple of weeks following the court session with the King, Maevdora took the time to cash in all of her influence to accomplish two goals. One, remove herself from the narrative of Elizabeth "Mouse" Von Dunlap as she does not like having attention shining upon her. The rest of her influence is cashed into goods and resources. She takes what she can, and follows Abad and Agusta (the Tieflings) and their village outside of the walls and aids in rebuilding their town. With what she has acquired from her influence alone, she physically helps build at least twenty homes, a temple, and a monument to those who did not make it out of the walls securely. She offers only advise when asked for it, and helps the village get rebuilt. When opposition or talks of a merc group to band together to raid now mobile human caravans, Maev takes the time to talk them down and focus their energy back on the community.

When the party is ready to move on, she will return back to town, refreshed and ready to party.
