Shop 'till you make a profit (Calleigh)

[Yuthirin]

"Well, we wanted to put together some stuff that is representative of the Aurora and its residents. The random and chaotic nature of our choices of people to reach out to so far has dictated what we have so far. We're hoping for a bit more diversity from the last couple groups we ask, but we'll see what happens." Calleigh nods, much more calm.

[Ebiris]

"Hanna can craft things out of stars, but that's a Court of Stars speciality so I don't think she'd put anything up for sale," Afina offers, thinking of the constructive types that haven't been mentioned thus far. She doesn't get into the whole 'They're not real stars' bit that ordinarily such a statement would prompt. Calleigh's from Arborea, she surely knows all about it.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh nod-nods. "I get that, really special stuff is really special and shouldn't be just easily found in a shop. At this point, we'd take anything and try to sell it. Put a good spin on it, and stuff."

As you chat, Drena gets four large water elementals. He positions on one side of them, "The ice will come out through the other side," he says, "Be ready on the other side."

[Ebiris]

Casting greater heroism to enhance her skills a little, Afina waits in position to cast a fabricate spell on the ice as it appears. She's thinking a frostwind virago would make a good subject considering the material being used, a coldly beautiful woman rendered in ice and wearing jagged furs.

Afina draws on her power - it's not her best effort by far, but it's still a statue of great beauty and unnatural skill.

Go ahead and describe it as you please, Afina.

[Ebiris]

Ordinarily Afina is happy to just make whatever and let the mercurial whims of the moment decide how things turn out. But this is something that's going to go on sale, to spark interest in her work from afar.

"No, this doesn't work at all," she raises a flaming hand and melts the figure into a puddle even before anyone else can get a good look at it. "Try again!"

[17:51] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+41 sculpting check in a perfectionist mood right now
[17:51] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+41 sculpting check in a perfectionist mood right now --> [ 1d20=13 ]{54}

[Anastasia]

This one is better - one of her better efforts but not the best.

Describe or try again as you care to/have spell slots.

[Ebiris]

That'll do, and she doesn't want to be here all day.

It comes out as a five foot tall figure atop a rounded base for stability, a woman that perhaps owes a bit to Annalise in figure if not in facial features garbed in thick and jagged furs that nonetheless allow peeks at femininity to be displayed around her legs and cleavage. Her face is soft-featured and pouty but with a striking gaze, framed by wild and long hair that cascades down her back and over her shoulders.

"That'll do," she says, inscribing her name on the base beside a bare-toed foot. "Better protect it against the heat or it won't last long though."

[Anastasia]

As you talk, Elena appears. "Hi everyone. Afina, Lady Skye and Moore are looking for you for court business. Oooh, I like it," she turns to the statue, and then says, "Afina, could you make one of Galariel and I?"

[Ebiris]

"I can do that," Afina says, always happy to do what she can to make Elena's life better after they stole her home out from under her and made her be a maid. "I'll get you two to model for me later, so pick out something you want to be immortalised in... more than you already are immortal anyway." Turning to the coure before she departs she adds, "Make sure you get a good price for this, Calleigh!" And with that she flies away!

[Anastasia]

Calleigh continues in here, Afina to Neph's topic.

[Yuthirin]

"We will!" Calleigh calls, waving. She turns to Drena. "Let's make sure it doesn't melt!"

[Anastasia]

The statue can be dealt with OOC. So now that this is done, what's your next move on the shopping plan?

[Yuthirin]

Let's go talk to some Lifasans. We've rescued a bunch, and I'm sure we have plenty of skilled craftsmen and noncombatants that either have things to provide or want to help out.
