Hello everyone,
To any newcomers, my name is Cameron Waltz, and I'm currently serving as your public representative. It's been a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the network, and I think we could all stand to get to know each other even better in person.
I'd like to extend an open invitation to the "Bring Yourself" arts and culture event this Sunday at Riverside Community Centre. This will be an exhibition of all the different cultures and people Riverview has to offer. Whether it's food, artwork, music, or a story, everyone has something of value to contribute, no matter where you're from, so I'd encourage everyone to bring a little piece of home to share with others. If you can't think of something to bring, or simply don't have the time or energy, bring yourself. You're from somewhere else too, and I guarantee you bring something interesting in just being yourself.
The walls are empty, the stage is free, there's an open floor for dancing and more active demonstrations, and the venue is booked for from 5pm-12am. Come when you want and wear what you like. Refreshments will be provided. I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have on this post.
Please come. I'm well aware of the current going ons in the city, many of which are incredibly stressful, which makes coming together as a community and expressing yourself in a safe space even more necessary.
[Passing a few volunteers, Cam walks to the only wall with anything on it. A mixed series of artistic ink calligraphy prints in a variety of different languages.
Cam stops with a slight clearing of his throat, and a very casual gesture towards the prints. Very casual. Which he is not looking at. A tight, shy smile at the camera.]
And I will be putting myself out there right beside you.
[Bring whatever it is your character has to offer that they'd want to show, whether it's a martial arts skill, artistic ability, performance, food, an interesting object, games, there's nothing that doesn't go, characters are free to take the stage/set up a booth/do whatever they want in terms of display, and can drop pieces off or set up in advance! Feel free to be utterly ridiculous.
Event log!]

[He describes it rather aptly, far better than she's ever managed.] I would sell little sketches years ago, when we were in need of money. But unless you're very skilled and lucky enough to catch the eye of some stupidly rich patron, it's not a skill you can live on where I'm from. [And with paper as expensive as it was, she had to save up to get enough to practice on. So many discarded documents and proclamations got drawn on, since sometimes that's all she could get her hands on. At least until she moved to Kirkwall and made it back from the Deep Roads, where she suddenly had enough money to buy an entire paper mill if she wanted.
Looking back, maybe she should have...] Anyway, it's pretty much the same for me. I sort of use it to also... vent? If that makes sense? Back home, I have a sketchbook full of drawings that would, uh, offend some people if they saw them. I drew them when I was angry or frustrated.

[A low chuckle. Cam loves meeting new people, and learning all the ways they're both different and the same. That's the spirit of this event. Broadening horizons, and developing relationships within the community. Both are necessary for a happy healthy population.]
I'll admit, I would be very curious to see that sketchbook. I tend to doodle when I'm at work, so I have to be careful not to draw flowers or... less innocuous subjects in the borders.
I may have sketched a portrait of my very portly boss once. He was not pleased.
no subject
Well there's your problem: you never should draw where people can come across you easily. Especially when you're sketching out the rotundity of your boss' belly.
no subject
It's doodle, or die of boredom.

And yet, as public representative, my meetings have only gotten longer.
[Sigh. You're welcome, city of Riverview.]
