Jaskier has always loved the city - all the sounds, the people, the different styles merging together in just one neighborhood. You never get bored in the city, and most importantly, it's full of opportunities. After spending his childhood in the family estate (where he's promised to never step again) and his young adult years in the college town he studied at, Jaskier has finally saved enough money to rent his own flat in the city, and it means a lot.
More and better paid tutoring jobs. More and better gigs. More and better various spaces to record cover videos at. And hopefully, a better chance at being discovered.
His online presence is nothing to laugh at - it's what's gotten him the money to move out, after all. He's not exactly famous, but he's well-known enough to get sponsors and occasionally be asked for a selfie in the street. All his social media has that lovely little tick next to his name that confirms he's someone. Sadly, even in this modern era, a contract with a record company is still the sign that a singer has really made it. But he's getting there, he can feel it. It's destiny.
All his excitement, however, doesn't make up for the fact that moving sucks. So many boxes! So many things to put in place! So much shopping for necessities to do! And no friends to help, which is the part that sucks the most. Jaskier is a people person, and he'll have to start from zero here. He still texts his sister during the whole process, for sure, and sharing the journey with his followers through pictures and short videos makes it a little less lonely, but it's still not the same.
Yet when Friday comes, he doesn't hit a single bar in the area, which shows how truly exhausted he is. He needs to unwind and recover energy before he can peacock around town. And that's when he remembers something: one of his followers mentioned a horse ranch near the area. Huh, that actually sounds perfect. He hasn't gone riding since he was a child, but he remembers enjoying it a lot. And one of the many reasons why he's chosen this city is because as big as it is, it's also really easy to quickly drive past the limits and finds trees and birds. A city boy he may be, but Jaskier also likes having some days out with nature every now and then, enjoying the sights and letting inspiration come from a sunset. It's like going on a little adventure.
So here he is on a Saturday morning, getting out of an uber with his guitar on his back and a satchel filled with his song notebook and some sandwiches for lunch, wearing comfortable yet fashionable clothes. The place is huge and well taken care of, and Jaskier is feeling the nostalgia hitting him already - this has been a great idea. He needs to remember to thank his follower later - although, didn't she mention her dad? Maybe he'll find her here as well.
Headphones are moved to his neck, sunglasses are hanged on his sweater and a picture of the entrance sign is taken before Jaskier finally takes the path up the house.
"Excuse me? Hello!" He says as he knocks on the door. "Good morning! I've been told I could rent horses here?"
modern au, give me that dilf
