QUEST: Hogtied

[ Combat quests may be a bit out of her league at the moment, only coming here with one extra magazine of arrows and it's electronic functions not even working properly at the moment, so she'll settle for something small and build her way up. Being a demon hunter, Blair felt this quest was in a way similar. It requires patience and stealth to which she has trained a lot for, so she took this job on a whim just to have something to do. But it wasn't as stealthy as she wanted it...

You'll find some random woman in armor, flinging a throw net to capture some pigs near the edge of the forest. The herd of swine whinny and squeal at this predator, managing to catch two so far and missing the rest. ]

Damn it!

[ Blair stomps her foot at seeing the rest of the herd get away. Had she been more adept at using her kinetic magic, she would have captured more. But two is a good start, even if it's a bit of a blow on her pride to have let the herd get away and have someone else witness it, apparently. She looked over her shoulder and immediately looked away with her face turning pink. It was a bit undignified to have someone see her almost throw a fit like a spoiled girl who didn't get what she wanted for Christmas. ]

QUEST: Snow Villas

[ Building a snowman should be easy, right? Well apparently not when it had to look pretty to be picked by the faeries. Blair, able to make a simple snowman looked at the competition with an almost jealous glare. How did theirs come out so much more creative? ]

You there.

[ She stops, backtracking a little to simmer down her bossiness. She's not at home anymore where she had people work for her, so she had to be kinder ]

Pardon me. But where did you get those accessories for your sculpture?

QUEST: Foraged and Found

[ Riding on a magical sleigh as it goes to the forest made Blair feel like she's an ancient warrior on a chariot somehow. Perhaps it's the bow in her hand, ready to fire should there be monsters that surprise her. She brought along someone with her to help with her quest, as she's admittedly not used to. Up on the "driver's" seat, Blair lets her keen eyes watch for whatever is up ahead while her companion can just sit back and relax. Without looking at her partner, Blair asks: ]

Have many times have you been out to this forest before?

OPEN: Exploring New Camelot

[ Blair, still in her armor, sticks out from the crowd as she strolls on by the sidewalks of Camelot on her own. Having earned a bit of money from her quests, she wanted to spend it a little to give herself a mental pat on the back for a job well done. She left her bow at her room, saving the space on her shoulder for her dragon familiar that she calls down to her while waiting to cross the street. A small golden dragon perched on her shoulder, nuzzling and licking at her cheek. Blair actually chuckles and smiles, petting her familiar on the chest to make it shudder and make a squeaky roar of approval ]

I should think of a name to call you... And I wonder if you can eat human food.

WILDCARD

[ I'm open to discussion for threads or ways for our characters to meet if none of these starters work out for you. I'm down to making her TDM threads to have happened if you want to handwave them meeting already. For any other inquiries, you can reach me on Plurk at Oksy ]

Comments

Hmm.

[ She turns her attention back to where the sleigh is going, taking a moment's pause to think. She was content in going here without having small talk, but not only does she need to connect with others, she also feels Eruca is a nice person who doesn't deserve her cold shoulder ]

Yes, but I too am not from a place with snow. I lived by the coast where it was sunny all year and forests are small and dull. Such festivities do exist where I was from though. I quite like it.
