[Elfsea] mundane and SCA questions about Elfsea

[Rixende de Rouen]

Greetings!

I would think that a pantsuit would be appropriate for the culture down
here. Almost all of my jobs I've interviewed in a suit with pants and nice
heels, and have felt appropriately dressed.

Public transport is much more of a challenge. We do have it, and we have it
come within 5 miles of the local practice (We'd be happy to pick you up from
the Trinity Railway Express Bell Helicopter station, which is nearest to the
practice)

We do have several people who hang out and visit at the Wednesday night
practice. Several people do occasionally go out for dinner and drinks after
practice, and if we have guests we are more likely to do so.

I am not familiar with where Benwood is, is it a City or a street within a
city? If you can provide more information about where you are coming from, I
should be able to assist further.

In Service,
Rixende
