💐 home and horizon
May. 13th, 2023 02:25 pm—— Solvunn Home ——
Claire's home is not quite as far back in the woods as the picture would suggest; she does have some sense of self-preservation. Tucked away in the Primary Settlement, she's close to the treeline with enough space for her garden and a small shed. The garden is seasonal and when she's home, Claire can most often be found there. The shed used to house the bee houses in the winter, but after event 18, all the bees were lost. Now, the shed is just big enough to serve as part storage, part small guest home. It fits a twin bed (just a small cot with blankets and pillows), a tiny area to wash hands, and a small table to sit.
Inside her home, the downstairs consists of a cozy living room with donated and second-hand mismatched furnishings. There are more plants than anything else, of all different varieties. The kitchen has a wall of growing herbs, and on the counter are jars of labeled tea blends. There's a table large enough for four, none of the chairs match.
Upstairs is divided in two halves; her room with a full-size bed, bureau, and mirror, with the washroom behind a closed door. The other side of the room overlooks the garden and is where she stores all of her herbs, salves, medical supplies, and other tools for healing. Again, there are plants galore, with one plant specifically home to a very special spider that once expelled itself from Michael's mouth.
—— Horizon ——
Claire's Horizon domain is a quaint little cottage surrounded by wildflowers. Previously, with no real idea what to do and missing Jamie, she'd created Lallybroch, but now her home better suits her style. Still made of stone, she finds a certain charm in the cottage, as this appeared when she brought to mind the cozy cottage home she used to read about in Bree's books.
The path and surrounding front area are an explosion of wildflowers, similar to her home in Solvunn during the warm months. Venturing around back, one will find a greenhouse filled with pots and plants of various kinds, and it's typically where Claire can be found. Close by is a stone sitting area with cushions, a firepit in the center for the crisp nights she likes to conjure for herself now and again when it's too hot in reality.
On the other side of her house is a small, nondescript building, but inside is where she teaches anyone who wants to learn about the anatomy and physiology of a human body on a 'real' cadaver, or as close to it as the Horizon gets. Inside her actual home, the setup is nice and cozy with large chairs for reading and an abundance of classic novels from Earth; for her, 'classics' go back to the 17th century and stop in the early 20th. There is a leaning toward Scottish poets and authors, but plenty of British and American writers are represented as well.
The kitchen is well-stocked with a variety of tea blends she's taken the time to put together, and the hearth, when lit, is always welcoming with a kettle ready to boil at a moment's notice. There's a small space where Claire can sit and experiment with plants and magic without destroying any real plant life in the process, and at any given time a random assortment of both failures and successes can be found. Plants native to Abraxas and Earth can both be found, as well as plants from planets she's been introduced to by others.
The color scheme inside is jewel tones of blues and greens, mirroring her future taste without knowing it.
