[Skadi rarely enjoys her dreams, but this one -- this one is different. The sense of being judged, the brightness of the lights... she doesn't like it.

The next thing she knows, she's on a beach. Evidentially she decided to get a head start on that whole "beach episode" thing. She lays in the sand, the tide lapping up around her, but she doesn't seem to mind. Eventually she sits up, either on her own or if she hears someone approaching. She briefly looks over her things, including the parchment that says "HARBORING A FUGITIVE", and then gets up.

The first person she sees will be met with a burning glare.] You. Where is this?

[For most of the celebration, it'll be hard to spot her. Skadi lurks at the edges, scouting and keeping an eye on things.

It's not until the bonfire celebration that she's lured out with the promise of music. Someone manages to hear her hum, and next thing she knows they've pushed her to perform.

And her voice is pretty nice, after all. It doesn't rise too high over the crowd, so only those gathered are likely to hear. She's no professional, after all. The language she sings in is auto-translated, but maybe you can pick up a brief flare of an odd accent.]

[Again, festivities aren't really her thing, but... she finds herself pulled into this mess of a celebration, if only because she still needs information.

If you're at the beach, you might find her wading within the shallows. A local tasked her with finding the biggest crab she could, and she's taking it extremely seriously. She even occasionally dives underwater, staying under for... longer than seems safe.

Or maybe you'll catch her at the field activities. She heard rumblings about monsters and came by, because that's one thing she does well. And someone said they needed someone strong, so...

That's how she ended up dragged into this "wife" race.]

Hm. Are you my partner? [To anyone who gets too close. And unless you make it very clear very quickly that you aren't, she'll suddenly grab you and throw you over her shoulder in a fireman carry as if you weigh nothing.] Then let's go.
