Oh dear, I seem to have missed the modern day Solas conversation. Oh, well I'm posting anyway.
Modern day Solas is a college professor living comfortably by thoroughly exploiting the privelages of a tenured academic. He lives on the campus of a very old-prestigious college that has that sort of thing for staff. He wakes up every morning at 10 AM. He spends the next three hours in pajamas and a wool dressing gown jotting down theory for a journal article that he'll procrastinate on for the next five years but when finally published it will be brilliant. Come lunch he finally showers and gets dressed to teach the minimum number of classes to keep his job. After dinner, more writing of theory with a glass of scotch on the especially interesting nights. Goes to sleep by 10 or 11 and does the same thing the next day.
Silly discussion time?
What do you all think Solas would dress like in modern day? How would your Lavellan dress?
Do you think Solas can play an instrument?
When he finally gets dressed Professor Solas wears... actually I have no idea what to put there that isn't influenced by how I dress. Screw it, he dresses like Ianto Jones.
My modern Lavellan wears Cardigan coats, multiple magnificent cardigan coats in muted tones. In fact her whole wardrobe is pretty muted. Fashionable but muted.
And modern Solas has tried multiple musical instruments before but gets disinclined to continue when it doesn't come naturally to him.
Speaking of music I finally found the song for my Inqusitor/Solasmance: Cat Power's cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".
