A very long awaited meeting. Melliwyk's parents have been having a weird time of it lately; I think her mom's earned the right to yell at her a little bit

one downside of deciding one of my OCs' dads is a dentist is that I've spent more time than I ever would have expected thinking about the biology of different fantasy races' teeth

Melliwyk's parents met at the botanical gardens; Tukklewyn was (illegally) collecting insects and nearly bumped into Xenia, who was sketching ferns and the centers of coneflowers. They exchanged pleasantries, and he quietly watched her work for a few moments before wandering off. A little while later he returned and placed an empty snail shell, one of its outer walls filed away to reveal the growth pattern in cross section, onto her open sketchbook. "It's a common misconception that snail shells grow in a golden spiral," he said pleasantly, pointing to the meticulously diagrammed pattern she'd mapped of a flower's center. "It's actually a logarithmic spiral, but I still thought you might find it interesting."

hard to razz your dad about being a big nerd for being a dentist when you also are a big nerd and he knows it

unlike SOME nerds, Melliwyk loves making toys 😌

"#oc tag: my character's dad" okay but this is so real. Back when I was working on ABFHMM, one of the MC's dads got so cool that I thought about writing a whole spin-off book
kjghkdgjf MOOD, also please tell me about this cool spinoff dad

"...and you can see what appears to be... gnomes who... have just kind of accepted the fact that they're being dragged through the air by a very powerful creature; they're like being held by their shirts, with their arms kind of folded"
Originally posted to my patreon as part of a larger WIP that I just never came back to, here is the one thing we do canonically know for sure about how this rescue actually went, courtesy of our druid learning how to scry

my wizard sending a big dragon man to break into the palace and kidnap her parents without having any way to warn them about it was a foolproof plan 100%
based on this, lmao

@antique-symbolism​ OKAY I’m gonna try for brevity cause I’m inclined to ramble and there’s A Lot going on in this campaign but BASICALLY--
Melliwyk’s campaign setting is an isolated cluster of floating islands, and our party was exploring the lost mainland below, a journey from which no one in history had ever returned before. When we eventually DID return we were ambushed by guards and declared insurrectionists and just barely escaped being arrested; long story short it turns out the government had been covering up or lying about a lot of fucked up stuff that we've been uncovering and working to fix, so, now we’re Public Enemy Number One on the islands under propaganda’d false charges and definitely on the top of the govt’s shit list
Anyway, pretty shortly after just barely defeating an archmage sent to capture and/or murder all of us, our bard cast sending to just say hi and check in with his mom and got back a bunch of gibberish, having been Feebleminded-- when he sent an angry message to our BBEG demanding she fix his mom Or Else, the response was something like ‘if you keep acting out my hands are tied. Tell Melliwyk her parents say hello’ WHICH UM. YOU KNOW. NOT GREAT,,,
Melliwyk doesn’t know Sending (to her INCREASING frustration) and our bard has never met her parents, so, that was the only context we had about what was going on with them for quite awhile. Aside from Quinton’s mom getting magically lobotomized, we also found out not very long afterwards that Zhartook’s entire home island had been set on fire. Frankly, the fact that Mel’s family were the only ones who hadn’t been hurt yet was incredibly stressful for her; for the others the damage had already been done, but for her, there was just this looming threat that her parents could be hurt or killed to punish her for the party’s actions.
The whole situation has been complicated by the fact that, since our attempted arrest, Mel had intentionally avoided any and all contact with her parents, hoping this would protect them-- so not only were her parents being held by the bad guys as a not-so-subtle threat to Melliwyk, they were also completely unaware that those even were the bad guys because they were, like everyone else in the country, completely in the dark about all the conspiracies and stuff we’d uncovered. Without being able to contact them, Mel had no way of knowing what they were being led to believe about her and the party while at the palace, and no way of warning them that they were actually in danger. We’d already called in a favor to launch a rescue by the time we found out that her mom had been given a legitimate job helping hunt down resistance members, but at the time we didn’t know yet whether the rescue had been successful, so learning that they had some actual Use to the bad guys that didn’t involve terrible things happening to them was an incredible relief ^^;;

working on PC backstories
justin: *writing a long, prose-style scene from his character's youth that weaves together important backstory elements and establishes a little bit of the personalities and relationships of the characters involved*
me, in bullet points: so she probably has a mom, who likes... math? and a dad who... collects... beetles. she Went To School At Some Point, where she met, you know, people, presumably. Whew that was a lot of work, time to take a break to look at the internet for six hours

bard, just before the session wraps up: oh I also wanted to do several Sendings during this travel time to check up on important plot things, and also one to say hi to my mom :)
dm: all you get back in response from your mom is a string of unintelligible babble
me: I love this
bard, immediately casting sending to The Evil Wizard of the campaign: we just killed an archmage and if you lay a finger on my mother you’re next
evil wizard: keep acting out and my hands are tied. tell melliwyk her parents say hello.
me: I no longer love this
