A Mini-Mingle (open)
WHO: anyone in Solvunn!
WHAT: (A Mini) Mingle Meet & Greet for new and old Solvunn Summoned!
WHEN: early through mid-august
WHERE: by the black eye lakes!!
[ ooc: This is an open log meant for all new and old Solvunn Summoned, so feel free to jump in and make your own top-levels! ]
i. Black Betty
Just outside of the Primary Settlement and in the direction of the smaller of the Black Eye Lakes (known affectionately as 'Grey Betty'), you'll find a cluster of tables and blankets and a couple of tents set up for a humble but intentional little get-together. Drinks have been provided thanks to local establishment, The Drunken Lamb and Wanda's home-brewed plum brandy, for those who need a little bit of liquid courage to pull you into the mingle, and there are foods laid out for snacking: trays of crackers, a large pot of Himeka's stew of the season (using all local and in-season veg), a communal bone broth, and a few wheels of assorted cheeses in varying levels of hardness and umami profiles that Nero has generously brought over (from where? who knows? it just exists) to share.
Don't mind the beautiful ceramic bowl on one of the tables filled with a random assortment of ... well, bones. They're a ... ah, specialty snack left out for a certain beloved individual (or individuals), but you're always welcome to investigate if you wish! And maybe try to figure out a way to ask about it ...
Anyway, the residents of the Treehouse by Grey Betty are around to chat with if you have any questions, but of course the least helpful of the bunch will be the grumpy little 3'1" raccoonoid standing over by the little games station he's set up with what looks like a crude (but effective) dart-and-or-dagger-throwing area, a ring toss, and a pin-the-tail-on-a-goat (not a real goat!) board. He'll delight in you losing any one of these games because it means he wins a bet, though whom he's placed said bet with remains to be seen.
ii. White Betty
Perhaps you've had your share of meeting-and-greeting by the calm, tranquil lakeside, and you're done sitting around and lounging on a blanket chatting with your fellow Solvunn Summoned. Maybe you're looking for something a little more exciting to do; maybe you're seeking a bit of a workout. If you continue into one of the wooded areas towards the rocky mountain range, you'll eventually come upon the White Betty (not to be confused with Betty White).
Continue climbing up the rocky ledges and formidable cliffside, and you'll eventually reach the top of White Betty, the beautiful waterfall that feeds into Black Betty at the bottom. The waters are deep enough to encourage cliff-jumping for the thrill-seekers, or if you're just looking to enjoy a beautiful view of the lakeside and your new home, there are plenty of lookout points. The skies here are open and seemingly never ending, and they're very, very blue.
Bring along one of the blankets from the party area, and maybe a couple of sample cheeses — the sunsets are said to be very beautiful. Of course be mindful of delving deeper into the trees as the day turns to night, as strange sounds have often been heard and there may or may not be some truth to the stories of dangerous creatures that dwell within the thick foliage, including a house that walks around on spindly little chicken legs ...

feel free to drop this is so old sob
[Will that impress her? Probably not. There's still a hint of pride in his voice.]
Yeah, yeah, I know. But coming to a completely new world — it's hard to complain about only getting to explore part of it.
[He will, though, later on. Loudly. At length.]
