Furb’s Scoundrel Armor 3– Sedave at work

May 6, 2018

So, it turns out that Solstheim is not unduly burdened with restaurants, and Marcus is a terrible cook.

Thankfully Sedave knows what he’s doing, so lunch was pretty good.

After lunch Sedave started in on some project Marcus wanted help with. Not sure how alchemy ties into all that stuff Marcus says he does, but perhaps it’s better not to ask.

Sedave’s pretty good-natured about letting us take some pictures, but he’s wondering why anybody’d care to look at him.

Sedave says: “it’s them ovvers what usually pay for the dressin’, loves.”

Huh?

But he said he’d wear some of the other outfits we brought just to vary things up. He and Marcus are pretty much the same size, so it works out.

Hey, Sedave?

How did you and Marcus meet?

Yeah, uh-huh, right.

Marcus says, no, he is not THAT bad. Maybe Sedave should stop trying to be funny?

Sedave is laughing.

So Sedave needs to summon himself friends in from a plane of Oblivion?

Nah, they’ve been knowing each other awhile, from Riften. Marcus’ brother owns a pub where Sedave likes to hang out, and Marcus used to help out a bit there. Sedave used to do a lot more work for the Guild, but now he’s got a legit business. Marcus says it’s been very useful to him in his chosen profession.

Hm?

Marcus says: No. Not what you’re thinking.

ANYWAYS… when you are in the business of acquisitions, says Marcus, sometimes it’s best if your neither your clientele nor your, ah, targets know what you actually look like. And the Face Sculptor is never a good idea. Not that it’s really necessary– what Sedave can do is

“Pract’cly magic, ducks. Wait’r’y’ see it.”

Sedave offered to show us what Marcus used to look like back way back before he took advice from Sedave:

Oh. … I had no idea that the Guild had graduation photos, lol…

Sedave says that all you’ve gotta do is change the clothes and deal “wiffa barnet! an’ paint on’m mince pies…”

Marcus? Could you get back here please and translate?

Sedave says nope, he’s gone off for an ocean.

What?

Oh, I get it.

Before we get started, Marcus asks could we have a moment of silence… Sedave says he’s got to “do a spot of god-bovvering.”

Marcus says thanks for waiting.

It’s a Dunmer thing. Something about how if you’re going to make use of the ah, attributes of the New Temple, you’d better placate them first. They’re …. funny that way.

No, not funny like Sedave– they’re uh-oh funny. The kind you don’t want to have drinks with. Nobody likes it when the daedra get upset. So it’s better to give ’em what they might want, right up front.

Uh, is that okay?

Marcus says that New Temple are okay with non-Dumner giving them honor as a what? quid pro quo? Marcus says that Daedric princes care about what you can do for them, not what’s in your inner heart.

Marcus likes gods who mind their own damn business.

Sedave’s going to change and then we’ll be ready to get started, Marcus says.

Sedave’s ready.

So, Marcus tells us that when he’s out in the world he does not worry much about keeping up appearances– in fact he kind of lets himself go.

Because no one who sees him going around like this–

Is going to recognize him later when he presents himself like this:

Which is really good if you’ve just, you know, poisoned some mead or run off with somebody’s golden claw.

Marcus wants to know, do we have any questions?

Because it’s time to see what Sedave can do.

What the face sculptor does for faces, Sedave does for appearances.

That’s what he means when he says ‘pay for the dressing’.

Oh, I get it now.

Furb’s Scoundrel Armor 2– Hiding out with Marcus

April 30, 2018

So, we made it to Marcus’ Solstheim place without incident, unless you count that little problem with the Argonian at the Windhelm docks.

Marcus agrees we should get started.

Marcus says his second-favorite part of the outfit is the lace-up sleeves. He says he’s got a use for them. Something something lockpicks.

Marcus? How did we get in here? What did you do with the key?

Marcus says this is his place. He can prove it. See?

See? The previous owner says so.

Marcus? What are you doing with the ghost of Savos Aren? Shouldn’t you be moving on?

Ok. We can mind our own business. Was that the Dunmer friend you said was coming over?

Want to try out another color while we wait?

Maybe not blue.

Green?

Marcus says his favorite’s the green one, and his absolute favorite part is that studded bracelet.

Hey! Sedave’s here.

Sedave’s also in… acquisitions. Part time. Marcus met him in Riften– he also might work with the Face Sculptor? He helps out the Guild. Anyway Sedave happens to be in Raven Rock for… reasons… and Marcus thought it would be fun if we could have another model?

Sure, why not. He can wear the red.

Note– ENB is Snapdragon, I believe the Snapdragon profile.

House mod is the stunning Redoran Grove the version without those evul mannequins.

And of course Furb’s Scoundrel.

Furb’s Scoundrel Armor Remastered– Or, Marcus says he has a job, too.

April 24, 2018

So I know what this is all about– Marcus heard that we took the equipment on the road to accommodate Alfgar, and now he’s insisting that we do the same for him.

Says he’s too busy. Says he works, too.

Marcus does not work.

Marcus relies on the kindness of oth–

What?

Oh?

I’ll believe that when I see–

Marcus insists that he goes to school. Dual enrollment, even. AND he has a job, which does not involve, cough, personal services, AND he still performs now and then.

Well, Marcus, you know what they say: Trust, but verify.

*rolls eyes*

Bard’s College.

Please. How much do you really have to do to become a bard? Learn a couple songs, maybe read a book of poems?

I heard you just gotta pay the fees, show up a couple of times, maybe take a night class or two– I mean, listen to that Mikael fellow.. or whatisname the orc down in Morthal? Isn’t he a graduate? Yeesh.

What about that guy at your last gig?

Yeah, him–

Marcus says no, really, that guy’s just a singer.

We’ve all heard the Bard’s College takes anybody.

Ten septims a month and it all can be yours… it’s not like Marcus been accepted to the College of Whispers or the Scholar’s Guild,or–

Oh.

Marcus explained that, yes, he was at the College of Winterhold (for obvious reasons) for awhile–

— but after what happened, he doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy, he just doesn’t wanna hear it.

Well, we were very sorry to hear about all of that.

Marcus is a student in regular enrollment now, he says. He’s passed his apprentice levels (Illusion/Alteration), and his preceptor is Urag gro-Shug. Right now he’s working on a little project for the library– you know they’ve had to rebuild it after–

Marcus says it has been exciting times at the College for sure, and it keeps him busy.

Marcus said that ties into the work he does for Auryen Morellus back up at the Museum:

Um, Marcus?

Isn’t that just hanging around and serving drinks?

Marcus insists that he is, in fact, a relic collector:

Alright, we get it.

Marcus has a job, Marcus goes to school, Marcus is a busy person.

We take the equipment on the road to accommodate Alfgar– that’s the problem, isn’t it? Whatever Alfgar gets, Marcus wants?

Now Marcus is advising us that HE is Alfgar’s boss. Because it’s the relic collector who figures out where the artifacts are, and which ones are worth getting– Alfgar’s just the muscle, really…

You know what, I give up. We’ll go up to where Marcus is; we’ll follow him around and do kind of a day in the life…

But I’m not bringing in lunch. Not after what happened with the mead bottle.

And yes, Marcus–

You have to wear the armor at work. That’s the whole point, yes?

Why are we going in via the window?

Uh-oh.

I did try to get a picture of Marcus lying on the floor after he fell off the shelf, but I had a sudden problem with the camera and we had to get out of town rather suddenly–

Clothing is Furb’s Scoundrel’s Armor Remastered and that headache-inducing but lovely ENB in the outfit pics Snapdragon Prime ENB with some hamhanded edits.

We’re hanging around in Immersive College of Winterhold and Legacy of the Dragonborn and are apparently burglarizing um.

Well, this is embarrassing, I have no idea where we were. [Maybe Dragon’s Rest Estate ? I’m not certain.]

Marcus says that’s good. Plausible deniability.

Or, at least I won’t be able to give it up under torture.

Solstheim.

Solstheim sounds lovely this time of year, don’t you agree?

Marcus says he’s got a cute little place up there.

Simple Clothes for Men – Part 3

April 22, 2018

Or– This is why Cyrelian is not a regular model.

He hates it so much.

So– I had finally demanded that he show me that Thalmor dress code in situ, and he hemmed and hawed around till I went to find Erdi. She got it for me. And we looked it up. So. Since we’re not actually on duty, right now, are we– all we have to do is ensure that the clothing is appropriately modest.

Really, Cyrelian– it’s nothing that we can’t accommodate.

I heard a lot of complaining, but none about the actual clothes. I knew he was jealous when I gave that cloak to Marcus.

So then:

I encouraged him to take a look at the detailing on that collar and cuffs. And– as an added bonus, it’s summer formal wear for Alinor. Lightweight trousers, a gossamer-weight cloak, and no boots. Perfection.

We’ll start with the purple, since it’s nice and sedate:

See, Cyrelian? We listen.

A few more colors:

No more? We want to quit?

But…

We can make it worse, you know.

Cyrelian assures us that no one is afraid of pink in Alinor.

He likes the green best, himself:

Okay, we’re done.

All right?

Pack up, we’re going home.

Finally.

Wait.

Erdi says she found something that’s in the approved colorway, perhaps you could wear it on duty? She says she’s pretty sure that it covers everything important.
