we'll take to the skies [open]
Characters: Naesala, Pepper, and anyone else!
Date: Throughout March
Location: Various locations in Aifaran, including a restaurant
Situation: Here's what Naesala's up to this month, including some shady stuff, a new job, appreciating art, and a flying race.
Warnings/Rating: Nothing yet
A. COMMERCE 3 (If You're Good To Mama...)
Should anyone happen to step into a mid-range seafood restaurant called The Pearl, you might be in for a surprise. Stop in at the right time and you'll find Naesala behind a podium, in a casually-worn black suit, at his new part-time job serving as a host and taking reservations.
Whether or not this is a surprise might depend on how well you know him. Sure, Naesala's good-looking enough that a job as a host makes sense, but he hasn't exactly been a go-getter when it comes to looking for a job of any sort. The especially attentive might realize that there's a darker side to this particular establishment. Situated so near the docks, The Pearl tends to get clientele that's far more on the shady side the later it gets at night, and Naesala is right there happy to seat them and schmooze a bit up until closing time.
B. CRIME 3 (Insurance)
It's in a wide alley behind a store, secluded but still in view of a nearby street, that Naesala is talking to two men, one a kedan and the other a respectably tall kin'nal. At first glance, Naesala might appear to be relaxed, but there's a tension in the air between the three of them that isn't so easily brushed off. The two of them seem to have been expecting a fight, but what they got was a Dreamfolk that wasn't only willing, but happy to accommodate them.
"I understand completely," Naesala tells them, his voice even smoother than its usual. "Business is business, and in the end it benefits me as much as it does you." He reaches into one of his pockets to take out a short string of rhinn, working a cobalt triangle off of the strand before flipping it over to the kedan.
"There, that ought to settle my account. Give your employer my regards, won't you? And make sure you let him know I always keep my end of a deal."
C. GENERALLY HIGH ARTS
When he's not working, Naesala has been spending plenty of time with his new hipster friends. Odd or not, they have a finger on the pulse of what's trendy and new in Aifaran, and Naesala is quite happy to let them drag him along to events like plays, concerts, and poetry readings. While he's not an artist himself, Naesala has quickly learned what to say to cast himself as an appreciator and art critic, and uses his charm to smooth over any misunderstandings that pop up. He's still one of the Dreamfolk, after all, and he still has a lot to learn about the fascinating culture here.
Whether or not you're also involved with the art world, you might just run into Naesala either at a particular event or on his way home from one.

E. THE BIG RACE (for Pepper)
When the appointed day comes, Naesala arrives a little early to the bridge that he had marked as a starting point for his race against Pepper.
Given how confident she had sounded over her flying abilities, the map he had given her some days earlier wasn't simply a flight in the park. He had marked places on the route that weren't always above roof level, in some places passing under Skyway trains or between buildings with a tight enough gap that even Naesala would have some trouble getting his wingspan through it. He had the route memorized by now, of course. He wasn't about to be given an advantage like this and not fully use it.
Naesala spends his time watching clouds while he waits for her to arrive. He's not doing or wearing anything special, so it might not look like he's particularly prepared for what ought to be a fair bit of exercise for his wings.
