+<p>He's a chubby dove gray dragon with an incredibly thick coat that only grows thicker during winter months. Most of his body is covered in platinum-colored fur that lightens as it reaches his tail and legs. A skink-like striped pattern runs from the sides of his neck, all the way down his tail. His fins, which extend like horns from behind his ears and his feet are dark. His wings, mane, and tuft at the end of his tail are smokey gray and flecked with black like hawk feathers. His face is always covered in a white mask, his eyes outlined in red. He loves to adorn himself in chains from fine metal, feathers, and fur. <br></p>

+<p>Abbey is Lise's favorite traveling bard, so she keeps him perpetually on the Butterfly's Dance payroll. He's a master of the lyre, flute, and bells, though he has a wide arsenal of string and brass proficiencies to supply his evening performances, which span from ballads of the First Age to reenactments of the Night of the Nocturne to flambebe limericks. He never removes his mask. He even sleeps in it. He plays it off like a quirk, but he has never been seen without it. That fact plus his distance from his homeland spur light rumors, but they can only be taken as seriously as people view him. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>Surprisingly, most of his acts are performed off the cuff, and, in lieu of serious preparation, he spends much of his day napping, snacking while reading, or improvising music. He stays well-versed in current events and pop culture, so he identifies guests of renown at once and loves to listen and learn what they have to say. In general, though, he's always up for a literary discussion or political debate, so don't be afraid to disturb him when he's nose-deep in tomes. <br></p>

+<p>Calder's temper is fiery in the literal sense. He has a genius aptitude for arcane magic but a blasé disregard for its effects or proper study. Despite being the headmaster's son, his disdain for the less adept and explosive attitude made him distinctly unpopular with his teachers and fellow acolytes. His father could only shield him from the consequences of his actions for so long, however. Outright setting fire to the university after a clash with a group of students was a crime judged by a jurisdiction higher than the board of directors. Calder, now disowned and summoned to a court heavily stacked against him, had nothing to lose. Before tucking his tail and running, he burned down the courthouse. He traveled to the Ashfall Waste, where they surely are less sensitive about petty fire fights. It turns out the Fire Flight is even less impressed by conflagration. He now lives in debt to Lise, matron proprietor and main dancer of the Butterfly's Dance, after accidentally burning the exterior of her tavern. <br></p>

Sanctum couturiers often want her to model postmodern and anti-fashion designs, but she is a natural model and adapts well to anyone who wants to work with her. Her favorites will always be the cute frilly ruffly stuff, though. <br></p>

The girls have a tendency to baby him, but he is more mature and capable than any of them in several ways. Unfortunately, his poor grasp on English, surface culture, and social cues confound any attempts to impress them. Being both trusting and born yesterday is an overbearing temptation for Tessa, and she bullies him relentlessly. <br></p>

Her ultimate outlet is dressing up in excessively feminine clothes, draping herself in lace, chiffon, tulle, and silk taffeta. She owns way too many dresses and pink blushes. She also loves unwind by playing with her two pets, Genie and Emme. <br></p>

+<p>They promise Silke training and opportunities for promotion, and she always gives her best to no reward. She has done data entry and taken calls for about every industry. Instead of being able to see her 'butts in seats' jobs for what they are and adjusting her expectations, she soldiers on, overworking herself fruitlessly. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>Her parents were never really present in her life and kicked her out as a teenager, so she only knows self-reliance and perseverance, odd skills for office work. Her quiet, unassertive nature makes her easy to overlook, and while she has a calming presence, she hasn't had a genuine friendship since high school. She is rigidly professional at all times, afraid of offending someone. She needs someone to care about her and show her how to better focus her energy, but until then, she's hopeful her meticulously organized faxes will someday impress her manager into letting her sit in on the dev ops meetings and lead her to a real job. <br></p>

She never leaves the house without eyeliner and loves dressing in athleisure or trying new trends. Her favorite color changes with the season, but gunmetal is a consistent love.

+<p>She moved to Lucrest with her family and white, fluffy cat from France when she was really little. Unfortunately, her father died not too long afterward. She doesn't know much about him or his old country of Haiti, but she visits extended family in Blois with her <a href="/char/Marie-Agnès">mom</a> every Christmas. That doesn't mean she's that great at French. In fact, to her mother's immense disappointment, she has a better grade in Spanish. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>She deeply admires her mother as a strong, loving, successful tradeswoman, so she gives back some of her time to help in her studio. Several days a week, she can be found hand-sewing fabric flowers, or serving as a fit model. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>She would rather spend every moment outside, though, forever hiking, jogging, and poking her nose into her neighbors' business. Her <a href="/char/Choupette">cat</a> is an outside cat and joins in on her adventures most of the time. Tessa's the instigator in her friend group, daring or begging to rope everyone into her wild adventures. She's all fun all the time, so she doesn't always know where the boundary is between playful teasing and outright bullying. <br></p>

In the <a href="/diary/tag/gaming">Gaming Diary series</a>, I'll give a description of the featured game then paint in broad strokes what's fun and what holds it back. It'll be like a game review but for game designers. I'll keep a nitpicky journal privately. </p>

 <h2>the best sandbox </h2>
-<p>I've spent thousands of hours easily in Oblivion, but I don't have a normal relationship with it. Despite all that time, I've only finished the main quest once. The bulk of those hours have been spent roleplaying in Anvil or editing mods. Judging from my backup folder, I've been making significant edits to the game every few months since high school. So it's hard to look at this game as a proper action/adventure game. It hasn't been much more than a sandbox with a lot of premade content for over ten years. This year, I've been playing normally and exploring parts of the game I've never tried before. <br></p>
