This case is completely made up from the top of my head, so if there are any similarities in the episodes in CM, they were probably just carved in my brain. Also, this might be a little ooc because I can’t just seem to tap into their personalities just yet
I’m sorry, I tried making this as angsty as I possibly could, I’m still working on my angst.

You were fairly new to the BAU, only working there for about 6 months, and yet you fit in really easily. It definitely helped that you were the sunshine- Penelope Garcia’s bestfriend and that Erin Strauss couldn’t bring herself to dislike you. But what matters the most to them is that fact that you were a genius. No, not like Dr. Reid genius. You understood the serial killers in a personal level, and you would often coax the weapon out of their hand and get them to submit and surrender. Of course, when they confronted you about it, you easily lied and they somehow accepted that. So much for being profilers.
You never really did know when you first started seeing the couple in a new light. Yes you liked them both. It never really mattered since you just knew that it would just fade away. It was already embedded in your brain that everyone eventually leaves and that being too close to anyone would only get them killed. You learned that the hard way. But that didn’t stop you from admiring them from the shadows. It didn’t stop you from smiling whenever they talk, it didn’t stop you from memorizing their features like they were about to vanish into thin air, it didn’t stop you from admiring how JJ controlled the media, or how Emily used that voice when she’s speaking to the unsub and it didn’t stop you from admiring how well they fit each other, how their hands fit like puzzle pieces, and how your heart clenches in awe when you see them cuddled up with each other. You didn’t know what you would do with yourself, you desperately needed to get away from them, but you also wanted and needed to be around them. God, you knew you sounded like a hormonal teenager.
“This is Daryln Garcia, Ahron Balydyn, Abbey Banagher and Jehoushua Castiel. Their names are on top of the list of the recent chain of murders all over each state.” Garcia winced at the pictures that she had to present to the whole team, she never did seem to get used to it
“Some of these are from waaaaay long before, why only now?” Emily asks from her seat , which was coincidentally next to yours
“The M.O’s are all over the place, which is why they didn’t connect the murders until now. The only thing connecting them are black sticky notes that are posted on the wall and on their body.” Rossi reads out.
“Where’s the latest one?” You ask, sipping your coffee
“...Los Angeles, California.”
��Wheels up in Five.” Hotch concludes, as everyone gets up to gather themselves.
After talking and discussing the case a bit more, You all decide to calm down for a few hours, and each and everyone of you set off to do your own things.
“Uh-huh, you’re staring at them again huh.” Garcia teased you through the screen.
Spencer was memorizing and rereading the case files,
Hotch was talking with Rossi, probably discussing the case,
Morgan has his headphones clogging his ears,
JJ and Emily were cuddling with each other as JJ munched on her cheetos.
You were currently seated away from the team, just out of earshot because you knew that Garcia would begin spouting non-sense.
“Shut up...” You blushed bright red. “...I told you this once, while I was drunk and now you bring it up in every conversation that we have. It’s just a silly little crush, sunshine. It’ll pass.” You told her, playfully glaring at the screen, to which she laughed
“Sure, Gummy Bear. Keep telling yourself that.” She grinned.
When you were about to land, you hung up on your bestfriend before steeling yourself, You didn’t need to acknowledge the gut feeling in the pit of your stomach, and you most certainly ignored the growing headache that you have.
JJ and Emily certainly noticed you right from the start. The woman who had no experience in the field whatsoever is suddenly the finest one they ever seen. (or maybe that’s just because they were so attracted to you that they happen to pay too much attention) That wasn’t the only thing they noticed though: They also noticed the tiny change in tone when you talk to either or both of them at the same time, or the way that your head would be the first to turn when they walk in the bullpen, or the way that your eyes would quickly scan them from head to toe before you bury your face into the paperwork that Hotch gave you, just a slight hint of embarrassment in your eyes peeking out from the cover or maybe it was the way that you would breathe a little heavier and talk a little faster when you discussed the case with them. You weren’t painfully obvious, but they were profilers for God’s sake, they notice everything, especially if it’s about you. There was just something so painfully attractive about you that interests them so much. The way your hair flowed as it dances with the wind, The way you licked your lips since they were dry (They tried to get you to use a lip gloss or a lip balm but you fought them, real hard.), The way your body tackled unsubs who got into your nerves (They always had to change clothes after that...), The way your eyes shined when you successfully return and reunite families, The way your mind worked: How you analyze quick, How you look at things in all angles, How you tried to put yourself in the very scene, How you work so well with Spencer and How you always seem to know what to say, every damn time. Maybe it was the way you broke social construct just by wearing a suit everytime you go to work, or it’s probably the smirks you give them when you’re right about something and they were in the wrong. (It makes them want to pounce on you, but they restrain themselves, taking their frustrations out on each other in the privacy of their own home.) But what they hate the most, it how dense you are. At this point, JJ could send you a love letter and you would think that it’s a recent case evidence.
"...This is Dr. Reid, SSA Prentiss, Y/LN, Morgan, Jareau, and Rossi."
“Right this way, we have arrested a prime suspect this morning.”
“How?” You ask, lifting two duffle bags and setting them down to your designated table
“She was found lurking around the crime scene and a bloody shirt matching one of the latest victims in his backpack.”
“Can we have her bag?” Emily asks, approaching the officer
“Yeah sure. Right this way Agent.” He leads her to somewhere while you trail Hotch to the interrogation room, only to freeze in your tracks.
“What the hell” you whispered under your breath, feeling the same suffocating aura when you felt like your past is catching up to you.
“Y/N? Are you okay?” You hear Derek ask you.
“I can’t do this. I need to call Garcia. Excuse me.” You replied with a look in your eyes. Derek recognized that same look with Emily when she ran away, pursuing Doyle to protect the team, and he’ll be damned if he let’s history repeat itself.
“Nuh-uh sweetcheeks. I know that look. Tell me.” Derek grips your forearm gently.
“Derek. I promise I won’t run away. And if I’m not back within an hour, track my phone and my ring.” you assured him, pulling your phone out and hurrying outside.
“Garcia. Please tell me that my identity is still concealed.” You begged Penelope while you were stress smoking at the back of the precinct.
“It is! I promise! There’s no way they would find you! through technology at least.” she ranted. You see, Penelope Garcia doesn’t do well with secrets, but you really needed her, and she understood that. Which is why your secret is the best kept secret she has, she hid your secret for a year now.
“Then tell me why my aunt, who might I add is an absolute psychopath, is in our major suspect list right now?” you panicked, knowing that your “family” has somehow tracked you
“It might be a coincidence, Gummy Bear. But I will look into it! I promise.”
“Garcia. One more favor. Back up all my files, all of it. From my work laptop, my FBI files, my personal devices, all of it. Then delete them all. I’m going to use a disposable starting now. Pull up the GPS service for my ring, keep an eye on me at all times. I’ll be damned if I see more of my family.” You spat out, stomping out the light of your cigarette, before popping a mint.
“Consider it done. Don’t you think it’s time to tell them?” she carefully asks, knowing how sensitive you are.
“Thank you Garcia, And I will. Once the time is right.” You grumbled, knowing that it’ll be sooner than later.
“Y/N. Tell them before it’s too late. Please, for your sake and for ours too.”
“I will short stuff. I will.”
For days you successfully evaded interrogating your aunt, subtly helping them as much as you can without raising suspicion. You knew that this secrecy is going to be revealed soon
“Y/N. We picked up coffee for you.” You suddenly hear JJ behind you, Emily’s hand gently placing the coffee in front of you, her eyes filled with concern
“You didn’t go to your hotel room did you?” Emily accused
“...No” You dropped your head onto the files in front of you
“You need your sleep Y/N. You’re no use when your brain can’t even function.” JJ retorted, taking a seat beside you, with Emily by her side.
“...Fine. A nap on that sofa. That’s it.” You bargained, determination shines in your eyes
“Okay. Go.”
And then, the moment your head hits the arm rest, you blacked out. Only waking up to Derek’s frantic shaking of your body
“Y/N! Get up!” It was rare for Derek to be this panicked and scared, and that gave you anxiety
“What? What is it?!” You stood up, feeling yourself get dizzy my how fast you got up.
“JJ and Emily are gone.”
What?
“Wait- What do you mean- How long was I asleep?” You blinked
“Precisely 4 hours, 36 minutes and 56 seconds.” Reid blurts out from infront the whiteboard.
“What happened for fuck’s sake?” You sat back down, rubbling your head
“Hotch was about to send you in on a lead, but they both volunteered instead.” Rossi explained
“And no one sent backup?” You were angry, barely keeping it in, you were slowly regretting keeping your secret now
“No one knew until now, when JJ and Emily didn’t come back after an hour, Derek went after them, only to find this.” Rossi lifts up the black sticky note.
“Family for Family, Blood for Blood”
“Is it possible that Rayna Torres, is their relative?”
“ Call and Tell Penelope I said Yes.” You point to Derek, knowing that Garcia will know what to do. You’ll let your bestfriend explain, she’ll explain it better since your mind is fogged
You couldn’t take it anymore. Your face hardened, clenching your jaw. You rarely showed anger, or annoyance for that matter, so they didn’t know what to do when you stormed off in pursuit of Hotch.
You found Hotch in the interrogation room, silently observing your Aunt
“Let me talk to her.” You say, earning a nod from him
You stormed in, slamming the door behind you.
“Listen here, you little psychopath. Where are they.” His eyes widened slightly, Hotch didn’t expect you to be so hostile
“There you are. I was beginning to think that we got the wrong team.” She grinned, intertwining her fingers, her wrists still bound to the table by a handcuff.
“I am not in the mood for your games.” You deadpanned, gripping the table to conceal your anger
“Hmmn. You always did have your father’s temper.”
“WHERE. ARE. THEY.” You slammed your palms on the metal table, making a slight dent on it. Ignoring the pain, you glared at her hard
“You know where they are child. I know that you know where they are.” The devilish grin once again appeared on her face.
“If I step foot inside that warehouse, and they are not there, I can’t guarantee your head will still be attached to your shoulders when they prepare you for your casket. Auntie.” At that statement, you walked away with a surprised Hotch on your trail.
He treated you like his very own ever since you knocked on his door, crying your eyes out, ranting about your family. Of course he noticed the small slip-ups you accidentally let out especially when you’re drunk. But it was never enough to completely put the picture together. He knows that you treat him as a father figure. Which is why he can’t let you go in there alone.
“No. Absolutely not. You might die Y/N!” You raised your brow at him, the bulletproof vest never felt as heavy as it is now
“You’ve known me for 6 months, you’ve known them for years. Why are you picking me over them? You know that I’m what they want. You or any other person steps in though that door, they’re all going to be dead before they see JJ and Emily. Not to mention they might kill JJ and Emily too. Please Hotch. This is my battle. If I die, I die. I don’t want to live knowing I could’ve done something.” Those were your last words before you slowly walked to the warehouse door after getting wired.
“This really isn’t the best first impressions you could make on your future daughters-in-law. Father.” You spoke as you saw him pointing a revolver at her, at your Emily.
You almost collapse at their state. JJ’s beautiful blonde hair caked with dirt and blood, she was staring at you, shaking her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Her lip is swollen and you could see multiple bruises forming.
However, Emily’s state was much worse. Her eyebrow was bleeding, her knuckles are bruised, she has small cuts everywhere and you could see that she was struggling to stand up despite being tied by her hands to the ceiling
“This one has a sharp tongue daughter. i don’t appreciate it.” He snarled, now pointing his gun at you
“Last one who said that exact words to had his dick cut in half. Where’s my jerkwad of a brother anyways? How’s his dick? Still has my bite marks? Scars maybe?” You smirked, hearing your “mother” load her gun
“Disrespectful Bitch. Don’t talk to your brother like that, he’s better than you ever will be” She snarled, firing at your feet, slashing through your pants, making you bleed slightly, making JJ scream through her gag.
“Your aim’s getting rusty.” You pulled out both your guns, pointing them at you biological “parents”
“And you’re wearing a bulletproof vest. Take it off and kick your guns to us. You know what’ll happen if you don’t” you gritted your teeth, taking off the vest despite the protests of Hotch and the rest of the team
“Happy?” “Very.”
“Now let them go.” You frowned
“No. You see, since you do love them right?” Your father smirked, making you frown
“Yes. I do. I’m in the same team as them for fuck’s sake!”
“No. No. That’s not just it. You love them in a different way as well. Say it.”
“...” Your mother rolled her eyes at your silence and fired two bullets to Emily and JJ, scraping Emily’s cheek and JJ’s shoulder.
You flinched, you knew not to show emotion, but it’s painful to see the women you love get hurt.
“Okay! Fine! You want me to say that I love them? I will.” You gritted out
“Go on then, you know how I love my drama shows.” You glared at them, taking a deep breath in, watching them walk out of the room, a bright spotlight aligns itself on the three of you, It really is a sick TV show that your parents would love to watch.
“What they say is true. I don’t know if you noticed it yet. But I do love you, both of you. I really hoped that I could tell you over dinner, or a cup of coffee, but I guess life has other plans. Loving the both of you seems so weird, and unconventional, but who wants to be normal and boring am I right?” You chuckled, trying to lighten the mood, which they didn’t appreciate.
You moved your hand to their gags slowly, listening for complains from your parents, hearing none, your grabbed their gags and pull them down.
“Y/N-” They both started
“Shhh. Let me speak, you know I don’t have much time.” You smiled, implying that you wouldn’t get out of this alive.
“I notice everything. I do. I’m not as dense as you think I am. I just... I didn’t like the thought of you both getting attached to me. I love you both so much that I knew that if they catch up to me, I could die, or you could get hurt. And now this happened.” JJ shook her head as if to say it isn’t your fault.
“I love you both so much, I love the way you look at each other, often wished I could look at you both like that. I love the way you both force me to sleep then give me coffee in the morning. I love the way your brow furrows when you see a detail in the reports that displeases you, and then you’ll playfully glare at JJ and I when you notice that we’re laughing at you. There’s a lot more that I want to say to you, but I don’t have enough time.” you say, moving closer to them, tears staining their bruised cheek.
“I’ll see you in our usual spot in the coffee shop across the street?” You whisper to JJ, kissing her cheek
“I’ll be copying your move now.” You chuckle lightly, kissing her cheek
A slow clap rang throughout the room.
“Now that is a perfect drama and revenge.” You whipped your head around, only seeing your father. Pulling out your knife from your thigh, you run towards him recklessly, the screams of JJ and Emily’s pleads piercing your ears.
And then three gunshots rang throughout the warehouse, Derek kicked the door down, chasing after your laughing family. Your ears were ringing, you didn’t even notice that you collapsed from the impact. You couldn’t believe it actually worked. You could feel the sticky, red colored cornstarch mixture on your abdomen. However the growing pain on your shoulders prevented you from celebrating.
“Fuck.” You whimpered out, the impact of the bullets on your abdomen radiating throughout your body, yet you can also feel the bullet that’s still in your shoulder.
“Y/N. Stay with us come on” Emily whispered, despite her being in a worse condition that you, She still has your hand in a death grip.
“I’ll be fine Em.” You reassure her through jagged breaths, JJ’s crying face invading your view made you smile too.
The moment that Emily and JJ were free from their binds, they immediately limped towards you as fast as they can, both of them on each of your side, silently wishing that they had more time
“They only managed to shoot me on my shoulder okay? I’ll be fine.” You could see the confusion in their faces, which faded when the paramedics unbuttoned your stained white shirts, only to find another bulletproof vest and an empty plastic bag, previously filled with what they can assume was fake blood.
Emily’s eyes widen, what you did was dangerous, and extremely risky. You gambled on a unpredictable mess and she wondered how you got Hotch to approve of what you did, only to find out later that Hotch didn’t know either.
You could only smile at them, feeling the drugs the paramedics injected take effect, slowly drowsing off. You were happy they were somewhat safe. You were also happy that you managed to stab your father in his arm. Even if your brother did shoot your shoulder from behind, you were still happy with how things turned out.
Almost regretting what you did when you woke up to a staring Emily, JJ quietly handing you water, before they both scolded you like there’s no tomorrow.
However, after what seemed like ages of reprimanding from the older women, they both pecked your lips before asking you out on a date.
I guess it all worked out in the end.

Session 35 Notes
The Silver Scale Pack get to know various members of Rana's immediate family, get woken by draconic-speaking rodents, find out more about their quest, and hit a few stores on their way back through Longview, headed for one of the local taverns.
@gher-bear @aradow @telurin @epimetala
On this day we have a nice visit with Rana's mother, Romy, stay over and find out Anesh, for as long as anyone can remember, has a population of tiny animals that speak draconic. They all speak draconic and have infected our rats with the same! It's totally normal guys! And no, Diem, it is not because one of the town's people is secretly a dragon. We'd know. For sure.
The next day we move on to meet Rana's brother, sister-in-law, niece, and niephew. We find out a little more about Haldric and Phi's daggers, which she hides in her pack and displays her common daggers in their place instead. Ixayl'anu gets her platinum ring made, Diem gives the kids their putty vivis as a gift. On our way toward the tavern, we hit a general supply store and maaaybe one other??? Dried fruits and granola were purchased along Phi's medical supplies at any rate.

Session 35 Notes
Notes!
(Chillin’ with Rana’s mom)
When we go in Rana’s home, Phi becomes a wandering cat who helps herself to exploration, comes back and says “There’s a hot tub!”
Mom: You’re welcome to borrow it.
Phi: Is this where you grew up?
Rana: Yep! (pulls out duck sauce, honey, apple jam etc. - giving it to her mom).
Phi sees this and pulls out her very expired mixed fruit to hand over, along with her gummy owlbears.
Mom: Oh no dear, that’s fine, you don’t have to start pulling supplies out of your pack.
Phi drops the gummy owlbears into the pile anyway.
Rana: Really sorry to barge in like this, but we just needed a couple of days, we’ve run into some situations and I’m looking for someone in Bouldergap - wanted to see if Stell knew anything about them.
Romy tells us we’re welcome anyway, stresses that this is still Rana’s home too and says something about friends that I missed for note-taking.
Rana pulls out the silver scale and letter from Retin and talks about him, says she’s pretty sure the guy Retin is sending us to is a dwarf. We were told he might be helpful, but we weren’t told where he was. She figured Bouldergap was the place to look and knows it’s a long shot her mom or brother would know him but we also needed a place to stay on the way, so thought she thought she might as well ask.
Romy: I can’t be sure but I feel like Stell has mentioned a Haldric in passing but I certainly don’t have a whole lot of communication with anybody of that name.
Rana: No ironbands as customers then?
Romy: No
Rana: It’s a weird thing, handed us this dragon scale gave us that name and sent us this way.
We’ve noticed Romy has a bone of contention with Rana over the news about shadowood travelling.
With prompting Diem remembers they’re the story teller and should tell it, 13 performance, gets smoother as they go on. However, to their friends, who have heard Diem tell this particular story among others many times, they definitely seem off their game a little.
When we get to fighting the dragon, Romy is worried, Diem insists healers were on standby so nobody died
Rana: We almost had him.
Diem: Well I mean technically one of us did get him later that night…
Phi cracks up laughing
After stories Rana says something about the meteor
Mom says something I missed for note-taking, GM is telling us about blacksmiths/nosy customers (so maybe something about that?).
Through conversation we gather that Grismor is innkeeper/tavern keeper of The Smiling Dragon - one of 2 inns who trades in gossip. Smiling Dragon is better for gossip, better drink, does his own ale, seasonal brews, jolly little dwarf who is as tall as he is round. Square dwarf.
Rana tells us about her messages to her brother which provided a nice distraction about meteor news for Longview.
Rana offers her mother the camels then belated asks us if that’s alright.
Diem says that they can’t obviously take the camels everywhere they go after this anyway.
There’s some talk about whether they’re needed for the trip further North.
Romy: Lets see how they do with the sheep
Rana: Elk’s in with the sheep and they’re doing fine (I think we ended up deciding ooc that it’s in a separate paddock though).
Rana is playing with the silver dragon scale while making small talk which eventually includes Farford gossip too - specifically the mention of a firecat.
Romy: Yeah someone was talking about seeing one here too.
Rana: No one saw the person it was with so I’m thinking it’s just a stray
Romy: We do have a lot of flame point cats in the area so it’s possible I suppose.
Ixayl’anu: Is it the same type of cat?
Conversation about them being wild cats vs tame, a specific species, etc continues.
Rana: No like flame point siamese not actual fire
DM: these are not just cats they are more akin to avatars of The Candace
We find out the entire town is talking about firecats too
Rana: How’s Stell (Stellan) doing? I picked up a few things for the kids, so hopefully they’ll like it.
Romy: Good
Rana: Nothing alive
Romy: I’m sure Stell will appreciate that.
Diem asks about the kids so we find out Rana has a niece and niephio (I have no idea on the spelling for this and a google search turned up only nibling as a suggestion for enby niece/nephew). Diem grins further to learn of the niephio in particular.
Rana (upon mention of the niece): She big enough to help with the forge yet?
Romy: She’s big enough to do the bellows and help out
Rana: We will hunt them down tomorrow
Phi: Yay!
At some point Phi would say “So your brother only has two kids?”
Rana: Yeah just two kids
Phi: Oh, so they’re just starting?
Rana: No I get the impression they might be done
Phi: Interesting...
Rana: At least he doesn’t (something I missed)
Phi: Well, that’s why you have more, so they can be together.
Rana: I’ll mention it to him...better yet you could mention it to him
Phi: This is the starter pack right?
Romy is extremely amused by this conversation.
(Dinner prep and additional conversations)
There are dress mannequins and clothes everywhere, fabrics everywhere.
Diem and Romy eventually start talking about the tailoring and different fabrics and fashions etc.
As they talk about that, Rana wanders off to make food for everyone.
Phi goes to help cook.
Diem wanders off with Romy to talk about fabrics and fashion some more (Rana will throw them out the second story window if they do more than that lol).
Rana was half sorting her bag and still has her rocks and stuff spread out on the rug even as she’s making dinner now.
Romy gifts Diem an outfit by the end of their conversation, still so happy this is the first time Rana’s brought anyone home. As she’s got Diem pulled aside though, she asks for more details about everything that happened, worried and just making sure everything’s truly good, and how is Rana really doing?
Diem spins it well about how capable Rana is.
Her mom def agrees and looks worried, but noticeably less so.
While waiting for dinner we all talk more, telling Romy about how we saved Perfection. She does not look ready to come to terms that her daughter is an adventurer now, but accepts it.
Part 16 of Rana rumors according to the other townsfolk who saw us all: “Yeah we knew something like this was gonna happen eventually”
Rana brings up the thunderbird and we talk about that.
Food got delivered, rats were introduced, how Rana and Phi have been training them to spy, rat race story from the Harvest festival gets told as well.
Rana notes that she is actually showing us off to her mom <3
Rana prompts us to talk about ourselves to her mom.
Phi happily tells her whole life story, or at least all the things she’s said to us as a group.
Ixyal’anu talks a little about herself as well.
Diem hangs back and doesn’t say much during this portion as they already talked pretty extensively with Romy already.
Rana: And Ixayl'anu’s on a task for her god but she doesn’t have a fire cat, she has vague dreams.
Romy asks about Ixayl’anu’s deity, pleasant ‘mom questions.’
As things wind down, Diem remembers the find familiar spell and asks if they have a moment, whether it would be alright to summon them while they’re here - noting it would listen to their directions and not make a mess or break anything. They get permission, but never end up doing the spell before bed.
Phi takes her hot tub bath, Diem takes one after.
After Rana gets us settled to bed in the guest room, she goes out and takes a point of exhaustion spending 8 hours to cast enriching the land again since she’s been gone a few years and it only lasts a year, then she goes and sits with the sheep, all of the sheep bed down next to her in a sea of white around her and she leans back against the nearest sheep for a nap/meditation during the spell. They remember her and know she’s the source of the good food.
(Mice vs. Rats: Draconic edition)
During the night, in the wee hours of the morning Ixayl’anu wakes up hearing some very high squeaky voices arguing “This is our territory”
“No, we were invited,” back and forth half awake-half asleep and thinking “what is this? Oh...this is real, this is something that is happening here.”
Very tiny angry voices continue.
Investigation check for more details 15: It’s dark in the room, she can kinda see in the shadows, she doesn’t see anyone. At the foot of Ixayl'anu’s bed is Horatio, four little house mice are around him being territorial against him, and the strange thing is they are all speaking draconic, including Horatio.
Ixayl'anu: What...what?
When Phi wakes up she doesn’t understand her rat any more, but she does hear the rat and mice speaking draconic.
Ixayl’anu: What?
The four mice squeak in a mousy scream
Horatio: Yeah you better run (turns to Ixayl'anu): Thanks!
Ixayl’anu: What? Why? Why are you speaking draconic?
Horatio: Is that what this is? I don’t know I was just suddenly able to and these mice were speaking a weird dialect and I found I could speak back in it as well.
Ixayl’anu: What...okay...and you’re still speaking it, who were they what were you fighting about?
Horatio: They live here and were being territorial and I was telling them I was an invited guest ‘cause I’m with you all.
(I am dead to the world as Phi wakes up)
Phi: Why are you talking to yourself?
Ixayl’anu gestures at the rat
Phi: Have you been teaching my rat that...?
Ixayl’anu: No…. Do you think that’s just something you can teach a rat?
Phi to Horatio: How are you doing that?
Horatio: I don’t know it just happened!
Phi: You’re still doing it…
There is conversation back and forth as its established among the three characters that Horatio still understands Phi, but since he is no longer speaking rat, she can’t understand him, but now Ixayl’anu can both understand and speak with him through draconic.
Ixayl’anu says something I missed.
Phi: what are you saying to my rat?
Ixayl’anu says something else I missed.
Horatio: You all can just decide what language to speak in? That’s weird.
Ixayl’anu: Yeah it is weird
Horatio: It’s a weird dialect and apparently it’s infectious.
Hamlet is mentioned in the back and forth and Phi, recognizing the name, wonders aloud if Hamlet is like this now as well. She tells Horatio he’s changed and she hopes it’s not permanent
Ixayl’anu tries to stop her to ask about that back and forth but Phi slips out of the guest room.
Phi 25 stealths through the house looking for Rana. From a window she sees an odd clump of sheep in the field. She goes out outside and climbs the fence.
Rana is deep in meditation.
Phi: Hamlet, wake up Hamlet…
Rat wakes up and cleans his face but says something back in draconic that she can’t understand.
Phi in common: Oh my god.
Phi uses her stone to let Ixayl'anu know not only this, but what she can see out here around Rana (visible plant growth around her - she’s decided to sleep on her sheep in the field which is weirdly moving and Hamlet’s doing the same thing, Rana’s not moving, I feel like I’m dreaming I don’t know about you…)
In squeakish Phi tells Hamlet that she can’t understand him but she knows he can understand her so “If you want to find out what’s going on you have to talk to Ixayl'anu about it because she’ll understand you. So I’m going to go now.”
Hamlet is irritated and goes back to sleep. All the sheep watch her. One sheep baas at her, then they all start baaing for food, none of them were speaking draconic.
Ixayl’anu to horatio while Phi’s gone: They just walked up to you and started talking to you and that was it?
Horatio: They tried to fight me!
Ixayl’anu: like biting and scratching?
Horatio: Yeah, look at this wet spot! And I’m an invited guest!
Ixayl’anu: That’s rude!
Horatio: That’s very rude, yeah! I’m an invited guest *stamps tiny rat feet*!
Together Ixayl’anu and Horatio determine they probably live in the roof or something, not pets.
Ixayl’anu casts detect magic. She sees the faintest little glow around Horatio. So faint you may think it’s not there and the only reason she sees it is because the lights are off, a wisp of power with the vaguest sense of magic. The source of it is nowhere nearby and the magic itself is so barely there she can’t even see the mice in the walls like she should have if they were properly bespelled in some way. It’s not any specific school for it. Mostly all she really sees is the glow of our various magic items.
At this point Phi returns
(Diem’s perception rolls were 2, 3, and now 0 lol. It is at this point we determine Diem is actually being held in sleep by their patron, catching up, talking about the familiar, and the follower and the spells and just having tea and a lovely bonding time. Probably when they were Tarma out in the desert, they did less communicating)
I missed some back and forth between Ixayl’anu, Phi, and Horatio.
Phi: They were being aggressive and picking on him?
Ixayl’anu to Horatio: Would you be willing to see where these mice have gone?
Horatio: You want me to bring one back to you? Yeah I can do that.
Ixayl’anu: You don’t have to but it’d be nice, I can give you food for it, *looks at her supplies*
Horatio: What kind of treat do I get, what’s in it for me?
Ixayl’anu: Nope no that’s not food I have nope that’s not food. *pauses in her rummaging* Well, what do you want, I suppose we can find something for you?
*thinks on it* A gummy owlbear?
Ixayl’anu: Oh I have some of those. Sure. *finds her little package of them*.
Horatio: Okay! *scurries off and disappears*
About two minutes later she hears furious squeak yelling, Horatio reappears holding a mouse by the scruff of its neck in his mouth “I found one!”
Ixayl’anu: Where’s the cage you keep the rats from? To put the mouse in?
Phi: We sold the cages, the carrier is Horatio’s home...there’s this box?
Ixayl’anu: Yeah that’ll do.
They find a box of rocks to gently empty real quick and put the mouse in it/close the lid (15 animal handling check).
As soon as Horatio had dropped the mouse: “Gummy owlbear please.”
Phi: He knows fetch now!
Ixayl’anu: All that training you’ve been doing with him is paying off! *taps box* Hello?
Phi: Ask if it if it talks like that if it knows it’s doing it or ask if it knows any dragons? I don’t know?
Ixayl’anu: Right?
Mouse is bouncing around in the box trying to get out.
Rana head canoned the rats as 400-550 grams
Horatio is gaming the system a little bit and only found a wine gummy to eat, never officially given one (Phi bought fancy rat treats for him)
(More things I missed and wrote down as “Talking to mouse ah 2”)
The mouse is screaming obscenities at Ixayl’anu.
Horatio is on his back in 7th heaven and suggests she should also give the mouse a gummy owlbear, maybe it’ll talk then.
Ixayl’anu sneaks in a smaller portion and it takes awhile for it to calm down and then it’s quiet for a little bit after until... “This doesn’t make us friends!”
Ixayl’anu: You want more? I’ve got more.
Mouse: I mean...yes
Ixayl’anu: I’m not planning on keeping you here I just want to ask a few questions
Mouse: More first
Ixayl’anu: Okay *puts in other half of gummy*
Mouse is very very quiet
Ixayl’anu taps the box: Hello?
Mouse (slurred): What do you want?
Ixayl’anu: Where’d you learn to talk like that
Mouse: I always talk like this this is how mice talk
Some similar back and forth about this.
Mouse (when asked about dragonborn/people like Ixayl’anu): People like you don’t come around here.
Ixayl’anu: Really? Oh… (to Phi in common now) I don’t this is how they talk, this is weird.
Phi: I think they just don’t know, they don’t know that they’re weird, you know
Ixayl’anu: But horatio thinks it’s a weird dialect
Phi: Did you ask if it if they saw any dragonborn? Or dragons?
Ixayl’anu: Well they haven’t seen anything like me (then to the mouse in draconic) Have you seen anything big with wings?
Mouse: Yeah outside but I live in this house I don’t have to worry about that
Ixayl’anu: Are there any mice that you can’t talk to?
Mouse: Everybody kinda talks like this around here
Ixayl’anu: Kind of or they do?
Mouse: They do?
Ixayl’anu: They all speak this...they all...speak this...I’m really confused.
They decide to try and wake Diem up for a third opinion, and it takes awhile before Diem’s patron allows it, letting Diem know that their friends need them for a moment, so they will have to continue catching up later.
Ixayl’anu as Diem finally starts waking up out of sorts: Weird things are happening
Diem continues to be out of it enough for a bit until eventually Phi catches them up - including the detail about Rana meditating in a cloud of sheep.
Phi (to Diem about the mouse in the box: It’s drunk
Diem: Are you guys sure you’re not drunk?
Phi: I’m not sure we’re not dreaming
Ixayl’anu: This isn’t dreaming not even close.
(I didn’t tag these two responses so the first might be Ixayl’anu and the 2nd Phi)
Too tired to bother with ritual magic, Diem uses a slot to cast comprehend languages.
Mouse asks if we’ve got more of those treats, which Horatio hears and says “Yeah! I’ll eat another!” *perks up*
Diem translates for phi who turns sharply to Horatio to talk about how many he’s already eaten and how he got one in the first place to ask Ixayl’anu for another, etc.
Horatio looks sheepish: Weeeellll sometimes you don’t secure your bag very good and I was hungry and they smelled good.
Phi smirks and retrieves Ixayl’anu’s package of owl gummies, then gives half to Horatio, and half to the mouse.
Horatio: YES! (helping her), I want this one I want the bigger section ‘cause I’m bigger and I get the big one (little grabby rat hands)
Diem does a history check on any stories they might have heard about talking animals like this (21). There are plenty of fairy tales with talking animals, sometimes it’s afey kind of thing - playing a prank on people. They’ve heard of similar events happening before, pretty disparate not tied to one physical location. Sometimes they’ve heard stories of animals in an area like within a mile circle will be able to speak draconic or sometimes other languages, not really a pattern to it. Sometimes it’s little towns, other times it’s connected to a whole city. Might be a natural phenomena. Specifically tiny beasts/birds/lizards are usually the type able to speak.
They also know various fae and wish spells can make this happen, but still they’re just random.
Diem shares this with Phi and Ixayl’anu.
(Insert missed conversation here)
Horatio or the mouse (not sure which): Yeah sure sometimes you say words that are funny and I don’t really understand what they are and they kinda sound like that and I don’t know what they are.
?: All the fangs or one specific thing? (I have no idea who said this or where fangs come into play)
We discover the mouse once met a gopher, stuck his nose in its burrow and it yelled at him back in draconic.
Diem to Ixayl’anu: Ask the mouse if it knows any fae in the area
Mouse makes an intelligence check when she asks, but does not know what she is talking about.
We confirm the mouse has always spoken draconic
Diem tells a quick rendition of cinderella as an example of fae meddling with small creatures where dress making is also involved (theorizing that perhaps Rana’s mother gets help from the mice as well)
We’re fairly certain it’s a normal mouse though and it’s now snoring softly so we’re not getting any more info.
Horatio by now is sprawled out on the bed, Phi cuddled around him while Diem gives him scritches. At a loss, we all go back to sleep for now, planning to ask Rana more in the morning.
(Good Morning!)
In the morning Phi will figure out the coffee situation and make some for everyone.
Romy (waking up to this): This is such a nice change of pace, somebody making the coffee for a change, and friends Rana brings in not destroying the house by the time I get up.
Phi: It’s no problem, I was just watching Rana from the window and figured she’d really like some, she’s gonna be tired so I can make sure coffee is waiting for her. We do have quite a story to tell her though.
Romy shows Phi where the biscotti is and such.
Rana is just now getting up and plucks Hamlet up.
Elk: something happened something happened something happened
Rana is feeding the sheep and clearly thinks the elk just wants some too
Elk: Oh is it breakfast? I’d like breakfast too!
Diem, after sleeping on it, performs a new arcana check on what sort of spells and effects cause draconic-speaking critters (21 again). They know now it can be caused by fae, wish spells, high level wizarding things will happen, and that similar strange effects happen around ancient dragon lairs (a little nugget buried in all their Miova dragon research they’d forgotten about), and that sometimes it’s just random without no discernible cause.
Rana comes in covered in sheep wool, hay, butt and legs wet, but she’s happy. Everything outside is noticeably green and lush.
Phi: We made coffee
Rana is super grateful and makes a beeline to grab a cup.
Rana: I took care of the plants and the animals
Ixayl’anu comes down around this time with the mouse in the box.
Romy: Your friend made coffee and something happened last night they were just about to tell me about.
Rana statues over her mother’s words with an ‘oh no what kind of things?’ sort of reaction.
Phi we’ll explain: Where’s Hamlet? Is he in your bag? Wait I’ll go get Horatio (who is snuggling Diem upstairs still)
Rana scritches Hamlet who asks “Oh is it breakfast time?” (in draconic) She’s tired enough she just hands it the biscotti without thinking.
When Phi returns she gets down on her knees in front of hamlet with horatio
Phi: What about today? What are you speaking today?
Speaking to her around his mouth of biscotti “I dunno what am I speaking today?”
This pings for Rana like hey…
Diem comes down as Ixayl'anu is talking about what happened.
Rana healing words the mouse. 7 pts healing. He immediately wakes up and feels great.
Mouse while cleaning his face: I feel really great?!
Ixayl'anu: You want some biscotti?
Mouse (very distrusting): Yes...
She sets the biscotti down. After awhile she’s half grinning and looking at her mom now.
Rana to the group: They just do that around here, always have.
Romy: That’s why the rumor mill here is so lively.
Diem: Why draconic?
(missed conversation)
Rana: Most people understand at least a few words.
Diem: What’s the local lore on it all? I mean...there’s gotta be stories involved?
Romy: The local lore - I did ask around since I’m not from here, it was very strange at the beginning but the townspeople didn’t seem to be bothered, the general consensus is that it’s a blessing of Vkandis.
Diem gets us all talking about maybe the silver scale dragon living nearby as they also share what they remembered about such events after they woke up.
Rana insists she would’ve seen it
Romy thinks you would know though, Diem mentions that they slept with one and didn’t know until the next day though so...
Romy: Rana you did see those kites though (a local cryptid)…?
Rana: That was definitely not a dragon.
Ixayl’anu: Birds? What?
Rana: They almost look like a roc but they’re definitely not rocs (some people write them off as rocs or pterodactyls but the markings are different they are an air cryptid - Ropen from New Guinea).
We get enough from context to realize this is an unusual sighting, but we are not outright told it’s a local cryptid, like spotting bigfoot.
We are told to watch what we say because the bakers bribe the birds and the whole town will end up knowing.
Rana: That thing is def not a dragon though.
Romy admits she’s never even seen a dragon before.
Rana: Diem rode it
Diem (laughing): In more ways than one
Phi laughs too
Rana still insists she would know if one of the townspeople were a dragon though while Diem insists you really couldn’t know that for sure, what if they just enjoyed a simple life and to avoid discovery they just chose a form that aged with the town, no one the wiser. Rana still insists it’s not possible.
Diem: So sure you’d know? We’ve traveled a month together on the road practically living together. How do you actually know I’m not a dragon?
Rana: I don’t.
Prepared for a similar pushback, this admission clearly surprises Diem. “And yet you’re this sure about people you haven’t spent every waking moment with?”
Rana says she thinks if you are not living time people need to know they need to know they will find out what you are doing.
Ixayl'anu: It could just be sleeping somewhere.
Rana: Either way this is just a normal thing
Ixayl’anu: Sure not really but sure.
Diem: Could be the innkeeper and has always been an innkeeper because they enjoy it. Everybody needs a hobby.
Ixayl'anu wants to know if V’kandis has anything to do with dragons.
(It is at this point we are informed that we’ve seen Romy has a shrine to V’kandis in the house as we’ve ignored this fact in favor of being like oh no, it’s not ‘cause a god blessed your town, it’s because of a secret dragon!).
Ixayl'anu scoots the mouse on his way and turns the topic of discussion toward our reasons for being in Longview and Anesh: So we’re looking for this dwarf?
Rana: No we’re looking for my brother
Ixayl’anu: Does he know where he is?
Rana: Maybe.
Phi: How old is he?
Rana: Older than I am
Phi: Oh, so definitely should’ve had more kids by now
Diem: Wait, Phi how many kids do you have then?
Phi (mishearing): Ooooh lemme get back to you on that...between 80 and 50.
Diem: You have at least 50 kids?
Phi: Oh no I have 0 kids, I don’t have that kind of life.
Rana herds us out the door, she leaves most of her heavier stuff at home.
(To Stellan’s house we go)
For some reason we established Diem definitely gets changed under an illusion of Ixayl'anu ever since using her image as a changing screen back in Budelia. Ixayl’anu has no problem with that, but they’ve all probably seen flashes of Diem’s side and leg tattoos anyway over the month we’ve been together.
Before we leave the house Diem casts comprehend languages as ritual. The birds quiet as we approach, but then the chattering starts up and we catch names and normal gossip presumably about people around town.
Ixayl’anu and Diem have a bit of a side chat about this in the RP text snippets section.
We have an uneventful walk over.
We walk in without knocking - Stell is clearly working on a sword or piece of armor.
Amira (the little girl def notices our presence, specifically Rana’s)
Rana quietly holds out her arms for a hug and Amira runs over squealing with excitement.
Diem: That is so adorable.
Rana scoops her up and has her on her hip now.
Amira looks at us and her eyes get really big - like who are you all? With continued excitement.
Stellan takes notice, surprised Rana brought friends, but still busy hammering out the sword.
Rana: Did you get your pigeons?
Stellan (withering look at his sister): I got THREE pigeons, yes.
Rana grins even bigger at his tone and expression.
Stellan is still working on whatever he’s hammering into during this exchange.
Rana: I was worried they wouldn’t get through so I had to send 3 of them.
Stellan: Well they all got here - first one was very surprising, after 3 though...
Phi: What was the message again Rana?
Rana: Oh, I sent him pigeons telling him about the meteorites and that we knew they were going to hit Anesh but we didn’t know where.
Stellan lets us know the meteors have been diverted and are scheduled to hit somewhere in the desert where there are no people.
Rana nods
Diem: Did they use magic to divert them?
Stell: You’re not from around here are you? Must suck to be from a place without a god that cares what happens to you.
He is a BIG guy. He stops hammering to shake our hands
Phi shakes with both hands to see how much she can get them around one of his (she can’t, there’s a gap between her fingertips).
He is very amused to have Phi forcibly shaking his hand with both of hers.
Meanwhile, Hamlet pokes out and gets on Rana’s shoulder to investigate the new passenger on Rana’s hip.
Amira: You have a new pet?
Rana: Yes, but this one is coming with me - you can still play with him for a bit.
Hamlet: What?
Amira in draconic: Wanna be my friend and play?
Hamlet: Okay!
Diem said some things during the exchange I forgot to note (probably a few cool stories about auntie Rana idk, asking about her speaking draconic?) that resulted in Amira excitedly adopting them for a tour of the house/playing with Hamlet. They follow Amira’s excited lead to do just that, but not before stopping near the next doorway for introductions to Adri, her mother.
Diem to Adri: She’s very adorable
Amira (talking about Aunt Rana): Look! She has a pet rat can we have a pet rat too?
Rana: I could probably get them a pet rat?
Adri: I could probably also get them one, if they’re responsible enough and can prove they’re ready to take care of it.
Some possible missed conversation before Adri, Amira, Diem, and Hamlet head deeper into the house while Rana continues talking to her brother.
Rana asks about the dwarf and shows him both the letter and silver scale, which he looks at while listening to the story about the wizard in the shadowoods
Stell: Are you sure it was Haldric that they wanted?
Rana: Yes (she double checks letter)
Stell: I know a Haldric Ironband but he’s a master blacksmith, but I...he...he’s never mentioned anything about wizards or honestly going anywhere so far away?
Rana: To be fair the wizard seemed to know who I was so maybe Haldric never met him either.
Stell: I don’t know this sounds like destiny hero bullshit
Phi is internally happy screaming about oh my god this actually works (it’s just as well that I never noted what actually works since the rest of us might only notice Phi’s happy scream state, rather than mind-reading the reason for it)!
Everyone but Diem learns this shorthand info I can’t entirely follow after the fact. My shorthand is awful and I’ve discovered I am unlikely to remember how to coherently type it later: Bhuxodihr for some reason you do want to mention t by the proper name he’s mostly retired, teaches to a select few, not stellan’s master. Haldric was stellan’s master’s master
Rana holds up the silver scale (again? I guess? lol) “You know what this would signify?” she hands it over to him. “Retin said we could use this, that it would give us legitimacy”
Stellan tests the hardness of it, getting higher and higher and Rana lets him and still nothing happens “Uh…(hands it back) I’m pretty sure this is the real thing.”
Rana: Real dragon scale?
Stellan: Mhm
Rana: Well that’s interesting
Stellan: Who did you say gave this to you again?
Rana: Retin, a wizard who lives in the Rethwellian Shadowoods
Stellan: I think Haldric knew someone down there but they weren’t genasi
Phi and Ixayl’anu tell him that we had a whole argument about it and deduced that Retin takes on the form of whatever will make you feel connected/more at home.
Phi or Ixayl’anu bring up how weird it is that all the animals here speak draconic.
Stellan, however, has hit his limit for weird shit, though not animals speaking draconic - that is a thing that’s completely normal.
Phi awkwardly: You should come visit us some time too, was great meeting you...or...yeah.
Ixayl’anu: Where would he meet us?
Phi: I have a home
Ixayl’anu: But you’re not really there
Phi: Well we can arrange it ahead of time.
Rana: She does have connections in Miova if you every go out that way.
Stellan says some things to Phi about all this, but as he’s talking he looks at her and she sees the moment when he notices her daggers and stops.
Stellan: Where did you get those?
Phi: They’re family heirlooms
Stellan: Nooo….where did you really get those? You can’t take those into stone roost or even bouldergap, not displayed on your hips like that.
Phi: Interesting you say that I was already thinking I should hide them because we found them on the skeleton of a dwarf in a cave in the woods
Ixayl'anu: No it was a corpse
Rana statues a little bit (which Stellan would notice)
Phi: There was a dwarf corpse, yes…
Stellan holds his hands up like ‘I don’t want to hear it’ and points at Phi: You cannot wear those, they’re only given to an elite group of dwarves and they do NOT give them to gnomes, you have to keep them hidden.
A few questions are asked about that. As far as Stellan knows, they’re assassins of some kind.
Phi: So do they have other weapons with the same characteristics?
Stellan: Sometimes they have short swords but not any arrows or large blades - just the small bladed weapons and it was a thing he wasn’t allowed to learn because he’s not a dwarf.
Phi: Do you know anybody who was in this group?
Stellan: No mostly these guys are like--
Rana (talking over him): I don’t think my brother knows any dwarvish assassins
Phi: If I were to return them to the right people, who would I talk to?
Stellan just looks at her for a few seconds: I don’t know if you just heard me but these guys don’t really advertised themselves
Ixayl’anu: Is this a group we wanna have anything to do with or just avoid them?
Stellan: If you’re really determined to get them back to someone, you might try Haldric, but I wouldn’t lead with that.
Ixayl’anu: Are they better to just be avoided?
Stellan: I wouldn’t wanna mess with them but you’re all out there dealing with meteors and who knows what else so maybe that’s what you do now, I don’t know.
Rana: This dwarf found the meteor too and turned into a mushroom
Stellan takes a deep breath.
Rana is enjoying making him uncomfortable now
They all talk about our bag of holding and hiding the weapons, Phi stashes them and pulls out her ordinary daggers to secure in their place.
Rana as they talk about possibly disguising Phi’s daggers: Oh mom has some camels now if you need one, there’re 3
Stellan: Okay I’ll take care of them for you
Rana: Do you want them to talk? I can make them talk.
Stellan (not amused): No, the pigeons are enough.
Phi: Thank you for the information
Rana: Yeah, I would like to not get killed by the people we were looking for
Phi: Yeah that would not be good
Rana: I’m gonna go corrupt tanny for a bit
Stellan: Yeah i’m gonna go back over here and...think about things
Rana: I let mom know everything so you can talk to her later.
At some point before they finish talking to Stellan, Ixayl'anu was looking for signs of jewelry in Stellan’s forge. She saw some platinum but didn’t really see any jewelry (because she needs a platinum ring). She asks him about it anyway while we’re there and it’s simple enough he melts down two platinum coins to make a simple ring for her out of it. He doesn’t even charge her for them since he already has the forge fired up.
He does have Amira help him since he rarely works with platinum and it makes a good teachable moment that takes about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, Adri has been following Amira and Diem around, Diem gets introduced to Taniel, 10, who probably is working on magic homework, they got really into potion making because they fan Rana and Rana brings herbs back - real into that right now.
Taniel gets up to see Aunt Rana, but Adri warns her to wait a bit they’re talking about tense things right now.
Through conversation along the tour Diem gets that Adri speaks draconic and has been teaching her kids.
Diem makes casual conversation that includes whether or not Adri grew up here and when/why she learned draconic.
About that time Rana walks in and Taniel gives her a big hug and tells her about her new obsession
Adri answers Diem that it makes sense from a guard’s stand point so she learned it, birds are awfully helpful
Diem: Oh yeah that makes sense
Rana: Yeah, Adri is very good at her job
Diem: You look it, you are killing it in that outfit (she is amused), I’m...yeah, not surprising I wouldn’t make a good guard, I even need help when we take watches (said in good humor)
Ixayl'anu stands awkwardly in the door until Adri invites her in properly (because she’s secretly a vampire! shhh)
Rana: We’re not gonna be in town for terribly long, I was just hoping Stellan had some of the info I needed and he did.
Adri: What info?
Rana: Oh I was sent by a wizard to find someone named Haldric who might be in stone roost and I thought Stellan might know him.
Adri takes it in stride “Well, be safe.”
Rana drops in that it has to do with the meteor.
Nearing the end of the conversation and visit, Phi asks if we can run by a general store to get medical kit supplies to complete her partial kit.
When we have to leave Amira is sad about the rat having to go and starts asking for a rat again in super sad puppy fashion.
Adri tells her they’ll still have to see and Diem distracts both children by pulling out the self-animating putty to give them as a gift, telling them how they can shape their own rat or whatever they like and it moves (makes a little rat and sets it down to walk around on the table and lick a paw clean) see?
Their imaginations take off with excited chatter about making tiny dragons and more, once again happy.
(A trip to the general store)
Rana takes us to Bafor’s general store (Bafor is a dragonborn).
Phi tells us that we would have noticed how Phi progressively jumped on this field medic train and as things have gotten dangerous and sketchy. Phi realized it would be handy to have some skills in healing just in case - more so ever since Phi found the medical supplies in Budelia and ever since Averni she’s been doing a little research here and there, including medical knowledge heading out into the new terrain of Anesh, like what to do for heatstroke and working on more survival skills. Over the journey she’s brought it up a few times to Rana and Edea, and Rana readily taught her some of her new feat requirements from her similar healer feat. Phi wants to eventually learn to make her own poisons too for maybe a damage over time, but also poison check and knowing what to do about poisons in order to help heal them.
Phi’s medicine check will also apply to her background skills, diagnosing a wound, how they died (starving, madness, dehydration, container recently held poison, blood spatter analysis, forensic stuff is part of her past).
Combat triage is cool and useful.
Ruled that with her medical proficiency feat she can diagnose poisons and such, but she would have to take a separate feat to make a poison and do dmg over time.
Phi walks into the store and admits she’s filling out the healer’s kit.
Rana says she has those items already and they have this conversation in the store. All along though she and Rana have talked about this over the month we’ve known each other.
Bafor: Yeah I have the little items, but you could also just buy a new healer’s kit already filled.
Phi: Yeah why don’t I just do that.
Bafor: Tell you what, you buy a whole healer’s kit and I will fill out your other one for free.
I think we hit a fruit stand or a different store where the vendor is gruff but warms up as we spend money (because that was a note for the vendor attached to all these dried fruits, but Bafor seemed pretty amenable from the start).
Phi and Diem also buy a big bag of granola for a silver each, and some dried fruits (Anesh grows pomegranate, apricots, olives)
Diem also buys a bag of mixed dried fruit, dried apricots, and a pomegranate (for a silver each)

Misadventures in Medicine
Yes, yes, mun is one of those “Essential Workers.” LOL. I don’t think I’m anywhere near a hero since really, I am not assigned to any COVID centers (my work has split our clinics into COVID and non-COVID) because of underlying medical issues. So, really, I’m not saving anyone from COVID. I’m taking care of everyone else who doesn’t have it from their other medical maladies. I’m not on the front line, and heck no I’m nowhere near as heroic as those who are. Sure I work at the epicenter of the Epidemic but I’m not treating anyone respiratory.
Anyway.....
Interesting things I have observed/treated:
Clinic numbers have diminished a good amount in some places. I suspect people are now TRULY knowledgeable on what needs to be seen now and what can be seen later.
That doesn’t mean I don’t STILL get people who are like, WHY ARE YOU HERE AND RISKING YOURSELF FOR INFECTION. They’ve had the condition for months and decided they want to risk getting COVID and getting it seen like, NOW. WHY?
SO.MANY.STDs. I guess they didn’t think social distancing applies inside the house.
SO MANY DENTAL ISSUES. Because dentists are closed. They will only see you for an emergency (I guess dying from tooth pain doesn’t count as one. Have you ever had pain in your tooth? I recall wanting to be shot when I had it. It is THAT bad). People can do really dumb things when they’re bored and have cabin fever. Like getting fish hooks stuck on their ears. Or getting lacerations from trash cans. Or pick up Herpes which they will now be burdened with for the rest of their lives.There’s also an increased incidence of shingles. You know what triggers shingles? STRESS. SOME EMPLOYERS ARE FETHING TERRIBLE. You know how many people I got needing EMPLOYEE PHYSICALS for licenses that the GOVERNMENT EXTENDED DEADLINES FOR BECAUSE OF COVID. Yet the employers want it ANYWAY. Folks just want to work and their MF bosses don’t care. They send healthy people out there to expose them to disease. If these poor folks get COVID I hope they sue your asses. Telemedicine is so weird. I have been treating people for conditions over secure video chat. There is no substitute for actually seeing it in person. I don’t care how high resolution your camera is. I need to poke it and prod it.
(OOC I’ve had people TAILGATE me despite the markers on the grocery store floors to KEEP DISTANCE. I had to shoot these two young men directly behind me an evil glare for following me too closely. TWICE. I had my n95 MASK on and I was ascloseasthis to yelling, “I WORK WITH SICK PATIENTS DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THIS CLOSE TO ME, YOU JACKASSES?” My son is jamming to the industrial metal version of “I Am A Gummy Bear.” I have no words...) People are misinformed. People are scared. Some people are not scared enough. And it is my job to guide them through this because the government sure as hell isn’t helping with the crazy propaganda. I suggest you all ask a medical professional if you have issues and questions. We are here to help, and we sure as heck probably care more about you than your bosses and the powers that be.

Note
Do you still have feelings for a trainer named Ash?
"Ash? Who's that?"
An OOC note:
1. This is a canon-divergent blog, and what's left of canon is from gameverse. So, she and Ash haven't met as of this reply. I will say "never say never", though, because she could always meet an Ash later on in an RP interaction...
2. I'm assuming you meant the 12 year old Serena (FlareAgent Serena) here, who would be capable of having romantic feelings. Most other verses on this blog (FlarePrincess, Ultrarena, Smolrena) have Serena as 4. She's not thinking about romance yet. She's thinking about how she can sneak into her parents' laps and steal their gummy bears.
Thanks for the question, though! Don't take this rant personal, I'm only posting it publicly to make these things about Serena clearer to others.
