April Catchall - Open and Closed Prompts
Who: Nadine and Various - open prompts in post, closed prompts in comments
When: April
Where: All over Cadens, Nadine's Domain
What: Catch all for the month
Warnings: Will add as/if needed
Open Prompts
1 - Horizon
Nadine's domain - a quaint little slice of a small New Hampshire town - has been gloomy and stormy for far too long. It wasn't something she intended, it had simply happened. There's a sort of shabbiness that's crept in as well, the buildings taking on a worn and ill-maintained look. She supposes it's due to her recent moods, too much grief and upset spilling out into her mental realm.
Of course, she hasn't been here in a good few weeks, either. Maybe that's part of it. Either way, it needs fixing. First, the black storm clouds need to go. And the snow. It's spring, there should be greenery and blue skies with puffy clouds and birds singing. Easily enough achieved.
And maybe...it's time to change things up a little. Not much, she likes this little town square with its white wooden church and park with skeletal carousel, the stores, the red schoolhouse, the rolling farmland beyond that gives way to woods as her domain flows into the others around it. But it's been essentially the same since she made it.
Walking along the four streets that make up the square, she inspects the various storefronts. Some of these can be changed. Maybe...a café or something. And a little library. Or a hole in the wall movie theater...
Sometimes she thinks she's not creative enough to fully take advantage of her domain.
2 - Cadens
At this point, Nadine is a lot more familiar with the streets of Cadens - at least the ones she frequents. It's a huge city, and there's plenty of it she's yet to explore. But she's growing comfortable here, and starting to think of it as home. Odd as that seems.
It also means her mind is more prone to wander as she's going about her business. She's heading back home after doing her shopping, arms full of paper bags and boxes. She has a new pamphlet of recipes to work on, and a project for her anatomy class to work on. It's going to be a busy evening, but she likes keeping busy. Especially when it's a productive busy. She's enjoying her work, and her classes. And she thinks she might be good at all this. It had started as just something to do, but now...there could be a real career in it all. And why not? She'd thought on more than one occasion that she'd probably make a good nurse. Here, now, why can't she be a healer?
Lost in thoughts of potential futures, Nadine isn't paying as much attention as she should be. Too late she notices the group of teenagers, running and laughing and paying even less attention than her. Trying to move out of their path, she missteps on the curb and drops her armful of goods.
Little wooden boxes go tumbling. Bags spill open. Dried plants and packets of scales and small bones and stranger things spill out on the sidewalk and into the street. Nadine lets out a mild curse, sighs heavily, and crouches to try and gather up all of her things....

[Anything else, go for it! Nadine's all over the shopping district and where the Academy is. If you'd like a specific starter in comments, hit me up!]

And she'd offered to be on the lookout for anything particularly useful to him. Which she supposes she can also pass along to Jayce, if the two are exploring the same subject. She imagines they are.
"Nadine. You're going to want to take the introduction to anatomy, then. It's not a hard class, but it's a lot of memorizing. And I'd also suggest Common Injuries and Their Tending, that's you're introduction to basic patching up. You will need a bone saw."
no subject
"Is there anyone still in Thorne you know of who would have access to that information now? I'm new so I haven't met anyone else on the Horizon." That is the only way he could meet someone from Thorne but he hasn't ventured forth out there yet. He is willing to do whatever it takes. Jayce nods as she explains what he should do, noting it in his head.
"That's fine, I can make a bone saw. It doesn't take long." Jayce pauses before realizing he didn't add that part. "I'm also a blacksmith. I physically made most of our work back home. If you ever need something, I got a freelance job here and I'm eager to prove myself to her."
