[QUOTE="dpdx, post: 1319084, member: 188"] [So, depending on when a bath was available to Fendric, he'll have bathed for 20 minutes, and then, thinking the night was over, gone into trance right there in the tub. So, since I don't know what to do after that, I present the [i]things Fendric trances about[/i], kind of what I'd worked up for his background. Hopefully, this gives everyone a little OOC insight, since he hasn't really talked about it IC.] Fendric sits in his tub quietly, availing himself of some soap to clean himself as thoroughly as he can. He drifts into trance, remembering his first 'outside' clerical task when he joined the Temple, as an attendant at the Fighting Pit of Hedrogura: Healing and then helping to clean those who had fought, so that they could be in shape to receive well-wishers outside, or even sit at banquet if they'd fought particularly well. Arguing with fighters: ([I][COLOR=PaleTurquoise]But, Sir, you are not [B]clean[/B]. And if Her Ladyship catches the slightest fever because you were not clean, not only will you be punished, but so will I. Now hold still, please - we shall make you both clean and presentable.[/COLOR][/I]) Remembering before that: even in the early years, there was always the Temple. Fendric went back to his earliest memory - sitting in a basket on a table in the Vestibule, looking around, drooling, watching elves, men and priests talk to each other in hushed, strained tones. Once he was ambulatory, and could be therefore of service to the Temple, he was given tasks. The clerics never struck him for misbehavior - but he could always tell how well he had performed them by the contents of his dinner. Meat was a good day, vegetables represented an average day, and gruel, or similar, meant it had been a bad day. When nothing came for dinner, 'grievous mistakes had been made.' That happened regularly at first. But by the time Fendric turned 20, he always saw at least vegetables, and soon after that, he could have meat whenever he wanted. When Fendric's appetite began to strain the Temple's purse, that's when they sent him with Brothers Asgriff and Kalan to the Pit to work. And so it began, his first day at the Pit: Orisons to heal cuts. And bathtubs, similar to the ones he and Hiritus now sat in. Bathing meant the day was over. Trance, sleep when there was time for it, or sometimes food would come afterward... [/QUOTE]
