Viva La DWRP

Busking
Becoming a God had the happy side effect of covering most of Emery’s animal needs. His throne room gives him a place to stay- somewhere he can stash his belongings, sleep, or clean himself up- and it’s not hard for him to get food one way or another.

Anything else is a little more complicated. And unfortunately, usually requires funds.

Emery’s been busy dashing around dealing with the ongoing epidemic, so his money has been especially tight lately. He has to spend a few coins here and there on nursing supplies, and he doesn’t have quite as much time to do odd jobs as he normally does.

It’s as the year is well into autumn and Emery’s wallet is at the stage of coughing up moths instead of coins that Emery finally has to squeeze in a little time to make money. Getting a full time job is out of the question- but there are various taverns in Flotsam that won’t say no to having a lyre player entertain the guests.

So every now and then you’ll find him there, seated with a hat at his feet and his lyre in his hands.

“Got any requests?”

Flower Selling
The lyre isn’t the only method at Emery’s disposal for making money. Having control over the growth of plants is a perk that Emery doesn’t just use for medicinal herbs, and every now and then you can see a stand set up in various Corsair-controlled settlements where a pretty blonde girl is selling flowers.

Pansies, daffodils, crocuses and more, there’s a wide variety of flowers on display with the only commonality being that they’re all blooms that normally only appear in spring. Of course, being out of season flowers they’re priced accordingly, only a bit cheaper than what you’d get at a normal shop. Disappointing perhaps if you’ve met Emery giving out free plants before.

Emery has no apparent embarrassment about the prices, and cheerfully calls out to potential customers as they pass by, occasionally holding up some flowers: “You look like you’d go well with these.”

Who: Emery and whoever takes the time to help out.
What: Gathering medical supplies.
When: Mid-late July.
Where: Various points across Esthere.

Anyone who responds to Emery's request for medical supplies has various options in how they might help out. Some might prefer to gather medicinal plants, whether it's from the gardens and fields of the Corsairs' various settlements, or perhaps the bolder sorts will dare to venture out into the wilds of Innistis and Larendt. There's environmental hazards to contend with, as well as the Imperial forces to deal with, who are more alert than ever thanks to the ongoing war over the Fallen Isles.

Some might choose to focus on processing gathered plants, turning them into proper medicine to greater increase their efficacy. There's also other things that need to be made, so one might try their hand at stitching together masks and blankets, making soap, creating shelf stable rations... Whatever someone thinks may be useful.

And even if you're not the handy sort, one can always simply go shopping at various markets around Elysium or in Corsair settlements. Store-bought is fine and all that. The more piratical may also try a bit of theft, as there are certainly Imperial ships, stores, and encampments that won't miss a few supplies.

Whatever anyone who volunteers decides to do, they'll always be able to find Emery in that promised clearing near Elysium, playing his lyre and awaiting supplies.

[ooc: I'll be putting a top level up for Emery later, but this log is intended to be a work-amongst-yourselves affair, so feel free to put up your own top levels for other people to tag. Hopefully, the above blurb will give y'all some ideas for prompts, and you are of course free to come up with ideas of your own for this plot.]
