Stocking the Bakery (15 August)

[04:26 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) slips into the bakery in the early morning, shvivering slightly as she hurried to the hearth to feed the struggling fire. Nothing but embers were left of the once cheerful flames and she quickly added dried kindling and more logs, kneeling before the heavy stone hearth to blow on it gently and coax life from it once more.

[04:38 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) rubs her hands together and smiles softly, seeing that the fire was blazing strongly now, and gazed into the fire for a few ehn when she tried to wake up. With a hearty yawn she stood and streched her stiff limbs, working out the nights tossing in the furs .

[04:41 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) pulls forth two kettles, one for blackwine and one for bazi tea, and filled them with fresh water, then added them to the hooks that hung over the fire. She went through the familiar process of preparing the blackwine beans, crushing them to the just right consistency to drop in the boiling water when it was ready

[04:49 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) wipes the counters clean of blackwine bean dust and scattered tea leaves and then makes her way to the shelves of supplies, pulling down pots and clay jars, lifing lids, peering into them and taking mental note of what would need to be restocked for the day.

[04:52 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) the flour sac was low, but this was not surprising considering how much bread was baked throughout the day, as was the crock of butter. The cheese wheel was only a small wedge that would not do for the day and all these things she added to her mental list. She calculated swiftly what would need to be churned, prepared, and ground and which bonds would be do what between serving the free.

[04:55 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) dropped the blackwine bean packet into the now boiling water, as well as the small metal tea ball, and swept the floors vigorously, then wiped down the tables inside and out while the morning brews steeped. After she finished she put away her cleaning supplies, pulled the kettels out of the flames, and stirred them well. She fished out the used beans and tea leaves and cleaned the tea leaf ball, and then covered them tightly with fitted lids to keep them warm and free of any contaminants.

[04:56 AM]  wahya(tala.moonwing): Collecting two baskets and two sacs she smiled softly as she left the bakery and made her way to the dry storage to collect the needed supplies for the day.

[20:55]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) nodding as she took all in accounted for she heads back up to the hall to fetch her kirtle to dawn back on once she takes a thorough soaking at the water hole and before anyone takes note of her absence

Laundry (9 August)

[00:07]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) smiles softly as she moves through the village a basket at her hip as she moves through the cabins, she was gathering the linens to take down to the river to scrub and wash, gently she knocks upon the doors after she left her Jarl's with a load already at hand, smiling to each bond, Jarl and Mistress within the village who answered to her knocking, kachina asked politely for the dirty linens to be washed, under the wait of her load she moves across the grounds down by the river, wincing a little as she almost lost her balance by tripping over a few rocks down by the bank, but the act caused her to lose her bundle as it all scattered before her upon the ground, sighing in frustration she knelt and starts to gather them all up into a pile, dragging the basket closer to the edge she takes the scrubbing soap and grate to start doing the wash, grumbles her frustrations and to ease the growing temper as she scrubs hard over several of the clothes and cloth that was given to her, dunking them into the water to
[00:07]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone): rise she winces as the cool water splashes over her and soaking through her woolen kirtle, granted the water felt good in the rising warm summer sun, but she wasnt in such a mood for the water fun unlike the other night with anpaytoo when they went to clean the recorder's hut and meeting room, gently after she finished scrubbing all the linens that was given to her she removes her own kirtle to wash, scrubbing it as she starts to hum, distracted with her work, she rinses it out and added it to the pile within a basket to take and hang to dry, smiles as she was pleased with the work she just done, she dragged the basket over to the clothes line she starts to hang them up, the extra water dripping over her tan lithe form, biting her lip as she finishes, she gazes about and hurries back to her Jarl's cabin for a spare kirtle to wear and to dry herself before she gets caught by her Jarl or any of the other Jarls within the village

wachiwi in the Garden ((8 August))

[14:49]  Ysamadouce walks to the garden, her silken black hair as Onyx looks radiant , the sun seems to be captivated by the lighning of her hair, she moves her head in a delicate wave, letting the sun covers her sensual body just like if her jarl were touching her , the sun is jelous for not having hands that could give her a pleasure that only her jarl with lust would give to her.
[14:49]  Ysamadouce begins harvening and collecting some raw material to prepare food at the bakery, while romoving the soul she smells the fresheness aroma of carrots being taking off, her curvaceous hips moves as if she were dancing, her carribean blood even though she lives at the mountains remains her the sensuality of the palms moving by the force of the air, she smiles devilishly knowing the plesure she gives to her jarl while dancing , letting flow all her sensuality through her round lusciuos hips

Solara tackles the Recorder's Office ((8 August))

Today, solara had planned to give the recorders office a good clean. The evening meal prior to today had left her with a new chore since Mistress recorder had been displeased with the grooming of her new work space.

solara carried her supplies from the bakery....a broom, a mop and some wash clothes in a bucket of water. Once she opened the door to the bakery she could feel how musty the room was. it had been long since the village had a recorder, so now it had been time for a major clean up.

Solara began by opening all the windows and doors clearing up the air. her first duty began with the dusting and beating of the fur rugs and the pillows.

Once completed, she moved to her wash bucket, wringing out her cloth and beginning to clean the desks, the windows and shelves. She sneezed once or twice once dusting began, but she followed through as she continued cleaning all surfaces.

before continuing, solara took a major stretch...she chuckled and thought just how underrated a good stretch was.

As the rooms in the recorders hut began to come together....she placed her wash cloths outside of the hut and returned inside...sweeping the first floor and then the second thoroughly. 􀀀

Solara then mopped the entire hut....getting every corner and every space.....moving quick but thorough.

Once the room had air dried, she returned to the hut with fresh wood for the fires, setting them down by the fire place and turning about, closing the doors but leaving the windows cracked slightly so fresh air may circulate.

Working at the Mill ((5 August))

[13:29]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) rises before her Jarl and chain sisters, trying not to disturb them as she slips from the furs. kachina, moves gently across the floor to attend to some duties down at the mill. making sure that there was blackwine made for her Jarl and warm milk for her sisters, she fetches her kirtle and head out the door in silence.

pulling her kirtle over her head, she crosses the dew coated fields to enter the village path. the sun has just started rising and not many were awake yet as she passes between a few cabins to head towards the stream. following the bank towards the mill and garden, she hums softly to herself

[13:32]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) enters the mill she gazes about to see all that needs to be doing. she noted that the need of flour was in demand at the moment. kachina gazes about and spies several bails of the sa-tarna grain that still needs to be grounded down into the fine powder. stepping over she pulls over a few of the bails and places a couple of teh grain stocks within the grind stone.

turning the crank she watches at the wheel slowly lowers. the crunching and grinding the grain echoed in the stillness of the morning as she proceed in turning the bails of grain into sacks of flour. coughing a few times as flour dust rises into the air. her kirtle and tan flesh covered with newly ground flour

[13:33]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) sighs as she stacks up the sacks to the side of the mill shed, gazing about at the slight mess upon the floor. kachina removes her kirtle giving it a couple good shakes to remove the extra flour that seemed to gotten upon it. dusting herself as she steps to the side fetching a broom.

humming softly once more she starts to sweep the extra grain flacks, dust and wasted flour from the floor. she moves the broom in a small dance about the mill floor, her hips swaying lightly as she moves about. giggling to herself at the silliness as she finishes sweeping and the small pile dispose of into a bucket to spread over the garden later that day.

[13:34]  Kachina (clysa.dragoone) smiles as she looks about nodding she stops in her tracks hearing the call from the village, turning on her heels she hurries to start the day with the others

Prepare the Fish for the Bondmaid Gruel ((4 August))

[09:08 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) smiles to herself as she enters the bakery and sets down the bucket of raw fish she had fetched from the cold shed on her way back. Having settled wachiwi at the barn milking blue, the large, shaggy village bosk she now hurried to finish her own chores for the night so that she could return to her Jarl's cabin and prepare His furs for the night

[09:10 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) with a mischevious glint in her bright gaze, she walked over to the sink and washed her hands well before pulling out two fat, silverfish and slapped them on the scarred, wooden carving board.

[09:12 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) chuckled to herself as she remembered that she forgot to warn wachiwi that old blue seemed to favor the taste of brightly colored camisks and kirtles, and many a time she had a lost a favorite outfit to her strong teeth. As a result she often mlked the bosk naked, unless it was two bitterly cold. During the winter months she would distract her with a sac of dried grain tied to her muzzle.

[09:20 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) reaches for the kitchen knife attatched to the counter and grasps the first fish firmly, noting the dark stripe down its back. She tilted the knife slightly and began the familiar task of scaling the fish, taking care to remove every one, even around the hard to reach collar. Small silver scales flew everywhere, littering the wooden floor and clinging to the sheer camisk she had donned that evening.

[09:25 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing): She moved the first fish out of the way and scaled the second fish as well and then started the gutting process. Her mind wandered to the small silver box she had buried in the woods, in her secret place she would often slip away to when her chores were done and the village was quiet with sleep. As she slid the point of the knife into the vent of the fish and dragged it upward toward the head, her eyes clouded in thought. She had not been back to waterfall since the appearance of the mysterious spirit of the woman at the waterfall, partly from fear, and partly because she had been so busy preparing for winter.

[09:28 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing): Forcing the knife through the bony part of the fish between the pelvic fins and upward to the base of the lower jaw, she sighed softly. She was dying to force open that box, but what would she find? and what if it was valuable? A slave could be put to death for theft, or at the very least have a hand or ear chopped off. And who would believe a spirit gave it to her?

[09:32 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) reaching inside the fish her fingers located the guts at the base of its head and yanked them out with long practice, tossing them in the refuse bucket nearby. Sliding the fish over she repeated the process on the second fish as her thoughts continuted to drift away in thought. She had not seen the warrior Thor in many moons. Many suspected He was off hunting or perhaps raiding with nearby allies, but she wondered idly if He had gone to try to save His love, not knowing of her tragic death, and the trap that lay in wait for Him.

[09:34 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) uses the knife to scrape out the livers of the fish located near the backbone, and the removed the remains of the bladder, tossing the small white sacs into the refuse bucket with the livers.

[09:39 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) worked diligently on the fish, as her mind continued to race with thoughts of the spirit woman and the missing Jarl. Her heart was heavy with guilt and worry and fear and she was hardly aware of the routine she performed two times per hand. Removing the gills from the fish as they would give the gruel and would make the fish spoil faster, she then sawed off the heads and tails and proceeded to chop the fish into small chunks that would be used for the gruel.

[09:42 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) tosses the heads, tails and gills into the refuse bucket she washed her hands again and tossed the chunks of raw fish into a large kettle. Adding a bucket of fresh water, another bucket of fresh bosk milk, a small pinch of salt and dried flour to the pot, she lifted it to the hearth to cook, digging out a large wooden spoon to stir it often so it did not stick to the sides and become overly lumpy.

[09:53 PM]  Ysamadouce: tas wahya

[09:54 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) sees the kettle of gruel start to boil and uses a cloth to lift the kettle from the flames, grunting with the effort as she carries it over to the counter. Crouching down, her strong legs supporting her firm body with ease, she rummages in the shelves for a lid and finding one settles it on the kettle. Setting it in the corner of the hearth, with the lid pushed down firmly , it would stay warm enough near the glowing coals of the dying fire. Smiling as she sees wachiwi enter the bakery with fresh bosk milk she waved at her "greetings again wachiwi"

[09:55 PM]  wahya(tala.moonwing) brushing a soft tendril of damp hair from her forehead she brushes her hands off on her camisk and shows her where the container for the milk was so that it could be stored and carried to the ice shed to stay cool for tomorrows cooking.
