Birthplace: Vale
Age: 24
Race: Human
Profession: Special Investigator/Agent for the Vale Council
Color Scheme: Red, Brown
Accessories: Red Rose Earrings, Black Sunglasses
Appearance: Roux has reddish-brown hair that reaches down to her shoulder blades; she ties it into a ponytail. She wears a long-sleeve red dress shirt that is buttoned up to her belly button, exposing the black body vest with steel plating underneath it, and a pair of white gloves. She has a pair of dark brown leather pants with built-in knee pads, suspenders, and black boots. She has a light bronze complexion and an unnatural pair of bright orange eyes.
Personality: Kind, but very serious about her work.
Background: Roux grew up in Vale to parents that met while they themselves were training at Beacon years ago. They Ran their own restaurant called βAll in the Rouxβ after getting married. As if following in their footsteps, Roux also enrolled at Beacon when she was old enough, but was pulled aside by Glynda to see Ozpin; he has had his eye on her ever since he realized her semblance as something extremely valuable. She was taken to a meeting with the Vale Council and offered a job to train as an Investigator for the Kingdom. While it wasnβt the life she or her parents had hoped for, Roux ultimately accepted. She would be a defender of humanity, just not in how she had envisioned. And in time, she would become a valuable asset to the Kingdom.
As the Special Investigator for the Council of Vale, Roux has been exposed to the darkest corners of the Kingdom many times. They had deemed it necessary after events led to the death of one member of the Council and their schemes were exposed. She has crossed paths with all kinds of criminals since she took the job, acting as a ghost and siphoning information from men and women, be they human or faunus, who pose a threat to civil order. Some of the missions Roux has taken had her encounter the worst entities to infest her home, including assassins that she unknowingly has a connection to.
In truth, Roux is a child of The Playground, an organization that kidnaps children and trains them to be assassins. One of her missions for them was a total failure that result

I loved my chervil plant but it sadly perished due to a combination of me being a gardening noob and the heat wave. I got it at Swansons but they don't have more. Anybody know where I can get a chervil start in the greater Seattle area? I love chervil enough to drive a bit for it.
I also have Cocozelle Heirloom Zucchini, Leisure Cilantro, Jack O Lantern Pumpkins, JalapeΓ±o, Ford Blanc Cantalope, Yellow Pear Tomato Thanks!
[have] -Summer Squash 'Saffron' -Cauliflower 'White Corona Hybrid' -Okra 'Baby Bubba Hybrid' -Bush Bean -Hot Pepper 'Pepperoncini Greek' -Melon (saved from a cantaloupe-like melon I received in my CSA share, so I'm not sure exactly what kind!)
I live in zone 7b, looking for herbs mentioned in my post title but open to other herbs. Would like to trade within USA
SPOILER WARNING!!!!
I will be giving some details on the Whiskey Master Class we took that are specific to the class on the Carnival Vista.
Since it was our first time taking this course, I have no way of knowing if they are all the same, or if there are differences.
So if you want to go in completely surprised, then stop reading and just know that we LOVED the class and HIGHLY recommend it!
Well worth the money!!!
If you don't mind some spoilers, then here we go!!!
On our recent cruise on the Carnival Vista(10/05/2019 - 10/12/2019), my buddy G and I decided to take the Whiskey Master Class that was offered at the Alchemy Bar.
We went down for the Sign-Up at 4pm and there were about 6 other people waiting to sign up. Others slowly trickled up.
At this point, we learned that the class would actually be held at 1pm the next day. Signing up was mandatory and there would be no walk-ups accepted into the class.
This is due to the amount of prep necessary for each student.
And there is actually aΒ lotΒ more to the class than we thought it would be.
The "chemist" who was signing us up, Aleksandar, explained that rather than a simple "tasting", the class would include a history on Scotch Whiskey, as well as a tasting of 9 different whiskies and at then end of the class, we would blend our own whiskey to take home in a 100ml bottle.
We were warned that we should make sure to eat before the class, since we would definitely not want to come on an empty stomach.
At this point Aleksandar looked us all in the eyes with great seriousness and intensity and stated "I'm not even kidding. You do NOT want to show up not having eaten!"
SPOILER: He wasn't kidding. You won't make it through the class on an empty stomach!
The cost of the class was $29, with gratuities so it came out to $34.
The next day, we showed up for class at 1pm and our "Chemist" Aleksandar (from the sign up) led us into the "secret area" the class would be held, which turned out to be the back dining room of the 555 Fahrenheit Steakhouse (conveniently located right next to the Alchemy Bar on the Vista).
There was a long table with what looked like laboratory setups. Each chair had a white lab coat draped over it, emblazoned with the Dewar's Whiskey and Carnival logos.
It was at this point we realized that the class was sponsored by Dewar's.
