[Since the adventures in the Game, Rita's been afflicted with her first physical change since coming to the carnival: a tail, much like a lion's, with dark fur ending in a bright red tuft. It hangs out from under her tunic, curling just a bit above the ground to keep from dragging.
The change wasn't a welcome one, and anyone who's seen Rita in the past few days might have noticed her being especially irritable. This project, at least, serves as some distraction from the things upsetting her.]
(a: finishing the training dummies)
[If one were to come by the training yard during construction, one might find Rita putting the finishing touches on a set of training dummies. There are, of course, some ordinary straw dummies set up, but her focus now is on preparing sturdy, magic-resistant ones. She tightens a few bolts on the life-size metallic figures, then steps back to admire her work.
They're all fairly ordinary dummies... save for two, which look a little different than the others. One is the size of a child, smaller than Rita, with a head shaped like its hair is styled upward. The other is about the height of an average adult man, with a head shaped like it has fluffy hair tied in a ponytail at the back. Almost like she modeled them after two very specific people...]
This should do it. [Rita has a faint, satisfied smile as she looks over the completed dummies.] Guess I should come here for stress relief once in a while.
(b: testing at the obstacle course)
[Or perhaps you're in the vicinity of the obstacle course when a certain pyromaniac happens to be testing out the pyrotechnics she set up. Crouched near the course, Rita fiddles with a panel of controls, and...
FOOOOOOOOM!
A burst of flames erupts around the path towards the very end in a spectacular explosion meant for a flashy finale. The heat emanated by it can be felt on the skin of anyone remotely near. But Rita simply stands, cupping her chin and looking over the spectacle with a critical eye.]
Hmmm. Was it better last time...?
(c: wildcard!)
[Did your character break something (or find something broken/malfunctioning) and needs someone from engineering to look at it? Would they like to make a complaint about the unnecessary amounts of fire in the course? Or maybe they come across her tossing fireballs and launching rock-spikes at those dummies she built. Maybe your character wants to spar with a magic-user? Or... anything else! Rita will be around during the construction and the early days of the training area's operation.]
