#(this is the plot of 'barb meets tiamat' AND 'tiamat meets nari' dot scrivener AND 'mephits hunt in packs' dot googledoc)

[dreamcrow]

this is SO unprompted but i'm having thoughts 🤷. so skrael and bellroc obviously care for tiamat, so they'd probably not want to lose her when all of rott happens... i'm bringing this up because all i can imagine rn is skrael piloting his titan with a baby carrying harness strapped to his chest, and a squirming mephit making it very hard to steer😭

(also forgive me if this isn't grammatical i am. tired.)

oh! you are a braver daydreamer than i, anon, my poor heart can't take inflicting rott on my poor unsuspecting beast 😂 i shoo you gently to bed, wherever you are, maybe with a nice warm drink. but ah, now i am thinking of tiamat in a little baby bjorn... she'd be so unhappy, oh my god. and her sharp little horns—four of them!! poor skrael would look like a pincushion. serves him right for going along with that dumbass titan plan

maybe she'd escape to camelot somehow? she can 'talk,' a little. argue on behalf her family, to an audience who doesn't even realize they have feelings.

i wish i could give you more of a snippet of the nari thing i was writing earlier (which is in fact the first time nari meets the fortress' resident library cat) but alas, it is set post-wizards, and so not very polished. :|a (and where did she go during the castle driveby?!) however...perhaps a peek on the other side of the fence would suffice, instead?
