Yea, they can be civil sometimes. Meanwhile Nereus just hating Jason and not even trying to get along with him because eww gross, that little shit is part human Yup. In that timeline the occult club gets former later or not at all because either Neason or Julius accidentally finds the secret room before anyone even knows about any rumors xD
Even worse and another thing some might tease him for. His dragon betrayed him xD
Very true, no one said they had to be the real emblem rings
Yup, not always easy but so much better than what they had back home. And yea, for Searc it went from pretty much no one being able to relate to way too many people who also had shitty parents
Yea. No matter how close the others are they just can't compare to what those weirdos from Solm have. And they prefer it that way xD Marceau wondering if he's too close with his retainers and then just sees Vigran and Zinara and thinks "Nope, we're still normal about it" Good, at least one Follower gets to live a normal life. And yea, hard to say. Dalvani definitely looks suspicious and as far as the squad knows she wasn't forced to become a Follower, unlike wolfboy. So that makes trusting her even harder. Some of my characters would still be friendly and want to give her a chance. But most will be very suspicious of her
Yup xD But also hard to blame Ajax since, like you said, it's just such a foreign concept to them

Yea Nereus just so mean to Jason, and it's not even for a thing Jason has control over Yeeeep, probably later, and this timeline has both idiots apart of the club, except probably not structured as the Occult Club but some other kind of club
Yea XD how coukd Ajax do that to him and tell others of his pouting he didn't get tto do his master plan
They one upped the followers on that one
Really is, and here at least they are appreciated for the things they can do. As for Searc yep went from a black sheep to God damn we all need therapy
XD yesss, royals worried they are to close but then see Vigran and Zinara and the other retainer and are just "Thank God" Most will yea, of mine I think the one that right away would welcome her is Harrison, not even Ralston would be as welcoming, he would still let her join but would be incredibly cautious about her after all those times he was tricked by Ivora he learned Yeppp, but then Ajax finally after enough teasing after the whole wing incident decides **** it and goes for it, thankfully a happy ending

Yup. He'll never be nice to Jason and doesn't care that it really isn't the kids fault that he's half human and therefore has icky surface dweller cooties. And yea, both idiots would be part of that club. They'd still investigate all the off-limits areas but probably don't need any rumors. Just getting to break some rules is reason enough
Poor guy, not only couldn't he do his plan when he wanted to, one of the first things Ajax does after asking him out is to betray him by telling everyone about his pouting. Sure, now he and his cute dragon are finally dating but at what cost? Ajax really hurt the raven's pride. Twice in a row xD
The followers only let them get away with it because they know Ivora will be coming up with some mean and nasty plan for them later
Calais really does have a much better life with them. And they won't have to bother with their crappy parents anymore. Calais definitely doesn't miss them one bit. I think when they were still a kid and their father used to send them on those errands Calais slowly began to realize that they were much happier on those travels than at home but only after becoming a retainer did they figure out that they enjoy being away from their parents because they just don't like living with those two. And yea, having so many people to talk to now might be a little concerning for Searc xD
Yup. They may be close friends and will drop any formalities when they're on their own and don't have anything important to do but they will remember their manners and act professional when it's required. And even at their most casual they're still nothing like those two. They just look at the lynx purring, meowing and demanding attention, Vigran always letting Zinara get away with stuff and are glad to know that even when they simply act like friends and don't bother with being professional in their freetime they still don't do stuff like that Nice, Ralston finally learned to be less trusting! And for good reason because yea, Ivora will have betrayed him quite a few times by then. I think she never outright asks to actually join but every now and then she offers her assistance, helps them a little and then betrays the squad by either leading them into an ambush or telling them they'd help this village or that town by fighting some creatures over there and then it turns out said place is sacred to that town or village and the creatures there actually protected that place from bandits or corrupted. Ivora will always try to make the squad look incompetent at best or malicious at worst. Back to Dalvani joining the squad though. Out of mine Zinara would be the nicest. They don't trust her and will keep an eye on her but they see no reason to antagonize her. Fáelán will also try to be nice, mostly because he thinks it wouldn't be fair for him to not accept her when he had (compared to her) a relatively easy time when he joined the good guys. And Maylis will also accept her as she can tell she's being genuine. Oh, and Calais will also be one of the more welcoming ones. No one can really tell whether they trust her or not but yea, they won't accuse or otherwise antagonize her Yay! But that means Zinara is indirectly responsible for this xD And the lynx is glad for it. Not only because they're genuinely happy for those two, they also love how Kerah didn't get to do his plan thanks to Ajax asking first. Sure, Zinara forgives Kerah for his insensitive comment towards Vigran since he really meant no harm but it's still kinda satisfying to them that the raven didn't get his way

Yea....gosh Nereus you also are like having family that's half agarathan if I recall right, smh glad you die mate, you hypocrite
Oh for sure, while they find it absolutely adorable, they can't help but also want to embarrassing their now boyfriend, they can't control if people choose to tease Kerah
I wouldn't doubt it that she already has like 3 revenge Plots in mind
Yea screw their parents, maybe at some pint they get to dhow off how far they came towards their parents, and rub it in their face that their "useless" kid is getting to fight alongside Ralston, yea Searc would be very concerned cause some had it way worse then him like Calais who's parents actively tired getting him killed or Ajax who's parents tossed them aside the moment after they were born
Yea, and it's not not even something that can be changed about the solm crew, it's to late, they are already in that bestest best friends zone, they can't leave, so not even trying to help them be professional would work and probably just push them to be closer. But yea Zinara could commit a legit crime and Vigran is right there denying everything and alibing Zinara, how dare you accuse their lynx retainer
Yea ivora will still be able to do that, but she does help him become less naive about things and more cautious, but yea nothing to be done about being made to look bad but Ralston will then jsut try male amends especially if he and the squad trespassed on sacred ground
I know and I stan it, cause it's too perfect the scenario, kerah being dramatic and proclaiming he is unattractive, and Ajax there trying to "platonically" say that kerah is still very attractive and has nothing to worry about(while strongly insisting the platonic vibes) and someone jsut going by and calling them out of it, that afterwards when seperated Ajax just comes to terms with their feelings and just confesses to the raven(much to kerahs dismay cause how dare tiny dragon confess first) Wip when I'm out of class will get rest up, teacher doesn't allow technology (art class)

sooooooooooo
ember thought of angst instead of actual planning and stuff
aaaaaaand it was about the whole idea of kerah being capturedddd
anddd it may or may not also include the whole knwoledge of of Fiore issss
and it may or may not have involved the idea of as a torture method that may or may not ahve involved in one of kerahs wings being removeddd befor ebeing let go cause clearly they werent getting anywhere with him
and it may or may not include kerah being angsty and just shutting anyone and everyone out and avoiding everyone as much as humanly possible, sicne he cna no longer just fly awayyy
.....please take my raven away
edit of cours ei thought of how to make it worse after i shared
kerah when he does start talkign to people, is selective, talks with the brodia trio, maybe ronera just cause he cant give up on the kinky dragon, and ralston just cause head boss man for the time being, but is very clearly and very actively avoiding ajax(man also dodging any thing to do with ajax being mentioned in the same sentence)
so of course ajax is a worried mess and tries seeking the people that kerah does talk to just to know that the stupid raven is okay, while also wondering if they had done something wrong to make kerah avoid them this much
eventually ends with just ajax breaking into kerah's room or tent, and just demanding the raven talk to them for ****s sake(to either work things or break up so ajax can quit wasting their time on the raven)
Edit 2 Me: *bout to pass out and sleep* Brain: WAIT MATE SHIT WE CAN MAKE IT SO MICH WORSE
Kerah breaks up with Ajax, may or may not say some cruel shit(maybe takes a few notes from shitty tribe guy and mocks ajax about the curse) just legit anything to get ajax to leave
My ocs: *happy and in love and living their best lives* Me: not on my ****ing watch
I mean I'm not doing this, cause I 1000% love them as a vouole but.....*writes down fic idea* did 1 for three house rp might as well get one for engage

Yup, and while he doesn't know for sure he knows it's very likely that his good-for-nothing grandfather Zenon had a child with the human woman he went to be with. His mother Zenais has never met her half-sister and doesn't know about her but also has no doubt that her father started a family with his beloved human. But even if Nereus knew about Idalia and Natalie he'd never acknowledge them as family. So yea, he'd also never consider himself to be a hypocrite whenever he's judging Jason for being half human because he despises everyone who isn't fully agarthan. And agarthans who side with humans. Still, this guy's gotta pay for bullying Jason and acting like humans are so much inferior so of course his death will have to be somewhat humiliating for him. Sure, Neason is much more competent by the time the agarthans and the good guys fight each other regularly but Nereus will still think it's super embarrassing to get killed by this guy of all people xD Yup, Ajax can't control other people's actions. And even if they could they still wouldn't stop those guys because Kerah is cute when he's embarrassed or pouts because he didn't get his way Oh definitely. If it ever looks like she's letting the good guys get away with something it's time to be on high alert because she's absolutely plotting something for later Calais would totally do that. Either go see them at their place or ask the squad to join forces with some Brodian warriors for one of the battles against some Elusian cultists. Because no doubt their parents would be among those warrios. And that way they would definitely get to see just what kind of people their "useless" kid is associating with. Only downside is that Hias would get to see their sister and while she doesn't hate Hias as much as the two siblings who joined the Fell Followers she's still unsure about them because even if she can be convinced that Hias was innocent she'd still feel a bit betrayed that they left. Sure, she'd understand that Hias had no real choice but this just makes it more awkward. She knows she shouldn't resent them but she does and feels bad about it And yea, Searc just being kinda freaked out because wow, some here have even worse parents than he has!
Yea, no matter how much evidence is brought forth Vigran would still defend their lynx because wow, how low can you sink, just forging evidence like that! Yup, Ivora may cause quite some trouble for the squad and sometimes even gives them a bad reputation but at least Ralston becomes a bit less naive from all those experiences. And that's a lot, given how quick he was to trust pretty much everyone he met They better not keep this up for too long or it turns into something like this: Ajax: That's okay, Kerah. You know I think you're really cute. Kerah: Hey, you wanna go out sometime? Ajax: I meant as a friend, Kerah! Kerah: Oh. Um, okay, sorry. Ajax: But I do love you. Kerah: Really? Ajax: As a friend, Kerah! Kerah: Oh... all right. Ajax: Let's have sex later, okay? Kerah: Huh? Ajax: As friends, Kerah! Geez, such a pervert! And hooray for that new idea! I love it! You're being awfully mean to your raven but hey, that's not really a surprise xD Fiore would definitely love to torture him. It's rare for them to outright remove something from their victim but for Kerah they'd absolutely make an exception because of how much that raven loves to fly Also, you say they'll eventually let him go but I doubt our good guys know that. So they may send a small group to go rescue him. Fáelán would be among the first to volunteer because that's just what he does. He always offers to take part in dangerous missions and quests. Ronera would volunteer too because as irritating as his teasing can be she does consider Kerah to be her friend. Some others of my characters might insist on being part of that small group too but these two especially. And Calais of course unless they feel they won't be of much use on that team But yikes, Kerah just avoiding so many people. But understandable. As for him refusing to talk to Ajax, Calais and Tahvo will definitely disapprove of that. But they'd both try to be patient with Kerah when asking him why he does that or advising him to stop making Ajax feel like he doesn't like them anymore And nice, you're not being that mean xD But I also wouldn't mind if you did that. Even if just as a fanfic. Oh, but regardless of whether you have Kerah break up with Ajax or not, does this whole thing (Fiore torturing raven boy and Kerah avoiding Ajax) happen before or after the squad fights Kerah's old acquaintance (you know, the bird laguz who nearly kills Ajax)?

so true and valid, even if he knows or not, love him beign a hypocrite regardless, just like orryn and self care you got to do it ignore he hasnt slept in a week and has forgotten whens the last time he ate, but yea so embarrassing regardless cause its neason, by then he has a rep for being a chaotic guy and never makes a plan most of the time, but yea regardles sits him of all people that kills him, and set akakios off to try kill searc but then that whole mess happens of neason going alone and searc still shows up and gets his fancy 2nd almost death
smh they are so disappointed in you, bringing forth false evidence as such you have to give zinara 3 barrels of fish and eels, maybe next time you would think better then to accuse the lynx of such things
oh for sure, and if ajax insisted they keep teasing kerah, when they are around the raven they wouldnt judge and would even join in, cause a pouting kerah is adorable
yep, some of the npc followers questioning things, menawhile the ones with names are just 'yes revenge time!" and then the two rocket idiots already plotting out possible disguises
oh for sure XD, just going to be that one meme, cant remember where its from, but it was basically this guy talking about he and friends played gay chicken,(as he described it its where two straight guys get in a relationship and see how long one of them backs out), and he in it states theyve been married for years, run a bed and breakfast with their adopted daughter, and that the other guy better back out soon or he is going to start thinking he is gay, just going to be ajax just starting alife with kerah while frantically insisting the entire time its as friends
i might do it the temptation is so strong, and you gave me the idea it is set after the whole thing of ajax being hurt and kerah having killed his acquaintance, and so naturally ajax has to stay to recover and kerah goes on to the next battle after insistance from ajax they will be fine, only for kerah to get captured, and yea that whole mess, probably does end up beign found by the rescue team since ya know he is forced to be on foot, kerah will for a while avoid that question from the two, but over time might give in and answer it(with it being of these options 1)just embarrassment over being dumb enough to get caputred, 2)just trying to get better and past it before getting back to them, 3)they feel awfully for lying to ajax with him promising that he would be back for his beloved dragon knows it, 4) just links to kerahs value of hsi wings/feathers, and now truly feels he looks disgusting/ugly/etc and is worried ajax wouldnt love him anymore(completely ignoring the fact they are actively trying to seek people out just to know kerah is doing okay)) for mine on the mission though, Ralston would def be there, hias would even join despite also having an annoyance to kerah they dont think it is right to just leave him behind and be in enemy hands, harrison would probably also join and be in their wolf form trying to track scents
or it also works to do it before cause the idea i got after typing out that whole paragraph is that it is set before, and ajax almost dying, snaps kerah out of that state, because of the sheer terror at the thought he almost lost ajax,a nd thats what gets them back together as well, just cause kerah finally sees to reason

Yup, gotta love our hypocrites. And yea, Neason may have become much better at all this planning stuff but he still has that reputation so yup, still really embarrassing. And sure, there's also the fact that Nereus reacts badly to having a crest (and it's even worse for him since it was implanted) and it's affecting his health and his battle performance (rarely at first but it gets more common the more time passes) and by the time the agarthans are fighting the surface dwellers it's gotten even worse and definitely played a factor in how Neason was able to beat him but Nereus will still think he shouldn't die to someone like that guy. And yup, Neason gets traumatized once again for his efforts Same goes for any witnesses, how dare they lie in their testimony. That's two more barrels! Serves him right in a way. He teases the others so much, he deserves to be on the receiving end for once! Oh yes, we must have those two idiots and their disguises! They insist that no revenge plot is complete without them Ah yes, I think I know that one xD And sure, Ajax can definitely claim they're in a committed platonic relationship but no one, not even those who actually are in such a relationship themselves, would believe them because they all know that Ajax loves his raven romantically. "Look, I know only the people in that relationship get to label it as romantic, platonic or something else and I'm not gonna say what kind of relationship you have based on whatever society deems as romantic or platonic things or actions but you're not fooling anyone, we saw you buy that gift/those flowers/whatever else and you specifically asked for something for a romantic partner" Hm, both options sound good. And both make sense. I slightly prefer the one where that fight against Kerah's old acquaintance occurs afterwards but the other one is great too As for Kerah's excuses for avoiding Ajax, Tahvo would point out that the only thing Kerah is achieving with that is making Ajax think he doesn't love them anymore. As for the rescue mission, a few others aside from those I already listed might join too and all of my characters would want to look for their annoying raven. But since it has to be a smaller group (so the enemy won't discover them too easily) many will also have to sit out and let others handle it. Those who aren't part of that group will still get to make themselves useful though. Maybe one or two more groups who serve to scout ahead or follow the rescue party from a distance. Both to keep any potential annoyances (like bandits or other troublemakers) off their backs and to serve as back-up for that group in case they run into an ambush

we def do, they make it so much better when they express their hypocritical views, and yea sure Neason had thr advantage with all that, still doesn;t help any matters that it is well neason he lost to, cause he should have been able to beat this idiot, but neason somehow won the battle, and yep just gets trauma as a reward
smh so disgraceful, you know what just give a small fishing boat full of fish and eels!
yep, dont dish out what you cant handle kerah!
yeees XD, and beg to know some details about it from ivora so they can get the perfect disguises ready
never responded to this oops i love it, get some brodian warriors, maybe a battle for a ring in brodia, and the parents get to see their kid beign awesome, and yep would be interesting if the ssiter is there, and yep the awkwardness of it all, cause like you said either she learns the truth and just resents them for leaving or still think like the two with the cult they are a murderer, but yes we def need a battle for calais to show off to their parents
yep, ajax might instead they are being platonic but when kerah is out of earshot, uses romantic terms, but promptly denies when kerah is around, cause nope you heard wrong, while ajax is insisting their life together is platonic, kerah just accepts this is how ajax is calling it cause of their whole deal with love, and just happily goes along with it, cause he still gets to kiss and cuddle ajax/hold their hand, so eh they can be 'platonic'
before the fight it is when he gets captured! cause yes does make it so much better, and who knows maybe through divine dragon powers kerah could always get his missing king back, if the power cna be used to heal alear for years, surely it can do something about a missing wing, or he just always got a missing wing who knows kerah would acknowledge that he is sending mixed signals, cause he does want nothing more then to just be around Ajax, he just cant bring himself to actually do that, a few of mine would also go, but yea could be in three groups with one serving to be back up and the other keeping a distance from the rescue team and just taking out bandits and the such in the area just so it is an easier time for the rescue team to move along to try get to the destination

Makes it kinda unique in a way. I mean, not many people get to die and have their last thoughts be about how humiliating it is to be killed by some idiot xD And yup, Neason just gets trauma as a reward. Because Akakios will not like it one bit when he hears from some survivors of Nereus's group that this annoying little shit managed to kill him. He respects Neason even less now, if that's even possible. Because surely Neason wouldn't have won had Nereus been at his full strength and Akakios thinks of him as a pathetic coward now because of it
I was gonna say not even Phoenix Wright could win a case against Vigran and their kitty but then realized that it makes no sense because Zinara is the defendant xD
Some would even outright say that or something similar. Only for Ronera to accidentally make it sound super suggestive and Kerah being back to teasing her xD
Yea, a battle for a ring might work. Maybe defend the ring in the castle or stop the baddies from finding the hidden ring. Since it's in Brodia it would happen relatively early on but that would still work nicely since now Calais' parents will feel embarrassed sooner rather than later (they'll never accept or like their kid but seeing that Calais is useful to Brodia's royal and the dragon child will definitely piss them off because how dare they not only prove them wrong but also giving this useless dancer some value) and that's always a good thing. Also, Hias meeting the sibling who can be convinced of their innocence first might make the encounters with the two siblings who joined the Followers even more tragic because maybe Hias got their hopes up that these two would also listen to reason, even if they will still resent them
Everyone else will also be like "Okay, sure, let's go with that" because if it makes it less awkward or embarrassing for Ajax then sure, let them keep saying that. Meanwhile Tahvo just keeps cuddling or holding hands with those he's really close with and Vigran and Zinara do their usual stuff so yea, everyone can see that some people do these things with no romantic feelings to it but they can still tell that this is not the case for Ajax, that in the dragon's case it's clearly romantic, even if it looks just like what those others do. But as obvious as it is with Kerah and Ajax everyone is just considerate enough to not contradict the tiny dragon. Not even a "Well, most friends don't kiss each other" no matter how strong the urge is to say that because no one wants to force Ajax to admit their true feelings if it makes them uncomfortable
Alright! And good point, Ralston or his mother might be able to do something about Kerah's missing wing. Because let this raven have some nice things after all that drama! Looks like someone needs to tell Kerah he's being a coward or letting his stupid pride get in his way, even though he probably knows it himself. Not sure who though. I guess if absolutely necessary Tahvo would do it because sometimes you can't always be nice to your friend if what they need is some tough love. Calais might too, either being really direct or simply imply it in their usual strange way of saying stuff sometimes. Kerah and Brodia's royal know the dancer long enough to know what they're trying to say when they say something that sounds nonsensically or out of left field to most And yea, three groups would work if we do it that way. Everyone just gets on the group that they're the best suited for with their abilities or for other reasons, like wanting to take on the most risky task or insisting on being among those who focus on rescuing Kerah

So true, so few do have that being their last thought, but damn Akakios sure Neaosn is a coward, like he could control the circumstances he had when he killed Nereus. But ye Neason only ever gets trauma for the things he does, mission back home brother is abused in front of everyone, actually has thoughts in battle? Best friend dies and brother almost dies, bullied into leaving, comes back to only kill someone and brother almost dies again, gers possessed by ancestor, brother almost dies....God damn neason why is all your trauma mostly dealing with death(I say like he snot my character and I didn't make this be his trauma)
The one time Phoenix Wright tries out being a prosecutor and you get this case, and he goes right back to being a defender
Yep XD kerah jsut bounces right back at the opportunity to turn thr teasing elsewhere
I like the castle idea, and will really help make sense for knights to be present, and can truly show off how close Calais is towards the royal family, and they see them fighting alongside Ralston, and for sure gets Hias's hopes up only for it to be completelycrushed especiallywith Lukov being the way he is,
Yea sure they see examples of platonic relationships but Ajax is so clearly deep in the romantic zone they have no clue where the platonic one is. But yea nice they don't call them out on it, but probably becomes a teasing point for them when they do start using romantic more, cause "remember when you asked to kiss kerah but insisted it was as friends?"
Ye, let him have nice things, and hopefully I can try not take it away Someone really should, while kerah knows it himself, he chooses to not actually acknowledge it. So someone does need to call him out on his shit, cause "remember the feathers and you insisting you were ugly but Ajax still loved you then" I think Calais would be fun to be the one that does it, as it shows he has a strong friendship with Calais, and it shows more to Calais as you said Ye, some do stay on the somniel just for simple guarding there purposes in case the enemy tries getting on it, even though you need the dragons blessing to be there

Our agarthans just take any excuse they can find to hate those surface dwellers. Akakios will insist that Neason is a coward. Was he supposed to just ignore Nereus (who was still very much a threat) and fight someone else? Well no, but he still shouldn't have taken advantage like that. Oh, Nereus couldn't avoid that attack because those issues caused by his crest suddenly got worse right after Neason fired his arrow? Uh... well... he's still a coward! Probably should have magically stopped the arrow from hitting the target. And yup, so much of Neason's trauma is dealing with death. Yikes. Also, the month after the 'brother is abused in front of everyone' thing there's even more stuff, though at least it's not related to Searc for once. Blue Sea Moon? One of Neason's classmates almost dies. Verdant Rain Moon? One of his classmates goes missing and could have been killed by those cultists if he had stayed there any longer. Dang, Neason really can't catch a break. Everyone under his leadership either dies, gets abused, tortured, or almost dies. What a lovely year!
And he fails to get the lynx declared guilty because hm... I dunno. Maybe he gets distracted by a ladder vs step-ladder argument?
And then Ajax just teases him again. It's a never ending cicle of Kerah teasing someone, Ajax doing or saying something to embarrass him and Ronera accidentally making it sound perverted when she teases the raven for it
Sounds good. Some knights and (since the king is so weird and also because the kingdom is so obsessed with strength) some of Brodia's best warriors who aren't directly serving the king get to defend the castle because guarding the ring is important enough to get every strong fighter (who isn't stationed at the Border to Elusia) involved. So yea, Calais gets to show that while they're no fighter they still have value and are appreciated by the royal family and also a companion of the dragon child. Take that, crappy parents! And yup, makes it so much worse for Hias because this one semi good outcome (their sister believing them but kinda resenting them while also feeling bad for it so it's just super awkward) really made it seem like the others could be convinced too. But nope, those two hate their guts and end up getting killed
Yup, Ajax really can't tell. But to their credit it's kinda hard with those other weirdos around who just go against what society deems as strictly platonic or romantic actions, it confuses the poor dragon even more xD And yup, everyone will still be considerate enough to not say anything. But yea, it becoming a teasing point sounds fun xD "Aww, don't tease them for that, they totally meant to ask Kerah for the sole purpose of getting to practice with a friend first before trying it out for real with a romantic partner. Isn't that right, Ajax? Pretty sure that's what you said"
You can still be mean to him but save some bad stuff for the others too xD I think both Tahvo and Calais would do it but yea, I think I'll have it mainly be Calais because like you said, it shows their friendship with Kerah Yup. It might not be needed because the baddies can't get there but better safe than sorry because for all they know the Followers might find a way to get on the Somniel anyway. Sure, not gonna happen but out squad won't take any chances. Besides, someone needs to look after the animals there. And keep Sommie company

Did some planning and here is where I'm thinking of the hidden ones, not sure if that one island up by brodia is owned by brodia or elusia, but I believe it's to that gate on the thinner stretch of land is where it it divided Agarathans are the best at not taking accountability of their mistakes, and yea gosh Nereus couldn't you have just magically stopped it? Smh so shameful. Omg that's so true, Even when he leaves it doesn't stop, cause of the villages being attacked. Neason just believing it's his fault and is just screaming internally the entire time in battle cause please for the love of the Goddess no one die Lmao yes, or Vigran is jsut that good at insisting Zinara is innocent and siad lynx is able to play the part perfectly that they can't say the best lynx is guilty Omg yes XD just an unending cycle of being teased and recovering For sure, get everyone in on this, jsut a grand Ole time defending the ring, makes it even better whenever the royal or Ralston thanks Calais for any aid they provide. Just really kick the parent smile they are down. Yea those two probably make them close off trying to contact the other sibling all together cause they just decide its better to be hated by their siblings. Sides they got Marceau and Rayén For sure. While they are struggling people aren't making it easier for them, by showing them you can be incredibly close but be platonic. Whenever they are teased for it they are jsut a blushing mess, and kerah even joining in, and insisting that he was thankful he coukd help Ajax out with all that platonic stuff True and I shall, I think I'm done being mean to him, he's got some good stuff, hias and vigran are also safe. Ajax is as well I suppose.....hmmmm *looks at my other ocs* who to be unbelievably mean to next Sounds good. While tahvo could be the one to point out here and there that hey you are doing this, IF you want, but yea Calais would probably really be the one to get Kerah to stop being in his self pity and try make amends only for the whole battle for the one hidden ring against his acquaintance to happen Yea, just there as a worst case scenario and a what if situation. But then yea otherwise it's jsut to do basic chore work to help keep it nice and well kept

Nice! Now we know where our hidden rings are! And sure, that island belongs to Brodia now because yea, I think you got that right. And the island is also close enough to Brodia. As for the other locations, also looks good. So yea, that's where those rings will be now! Also, since we have the map here now... I think I said Bijou is from an island north to Brodia. There are two bigger islands north to that thinner stretch of land. So my snow leopard is from one of those two. Probably the smaller one of those two. As for Fáelán, his tribe was originally from an island near Elusia. I now I said 'Small Island' in his bio but I kinda like that bigger one to the east of Elusia. So yup, that's where my wolfboy is from before the majority of his tribe moved to the mainland. Not something we need to mark down on the map, just something I like to know for myself
Gotta blame those lowly surface dwellers. It's always their fault, even when it isn't! And oh shit, that's true, even in his absence so much shit happens xD Dang, Sothis really isn't kind to him
Oooh, I got it now! All we need is the judge who's in all the games and almost all the trials! Sure, normally he gives the right verdict in the end but hey, everyone makes mistakes and that judge is often taken in by someone's cuteness. So all Zinara has to do is be an adorable lynx and the judge will give Phoenix a penalty every time he tries to claim the lynx is guilty. Because shame on you Mr. Wright, how could you say that about such a cute kitty
For the castle defense I have such a dumb scene in mind. If I don't get to do it in the rp I'll still do it in a fanfic thingy xD Brodia's royal tasked the two retainers with something (two separate things) and our dragons get sent to tell them both to head back to the castle right now and to help out against those evil dudes. Anyway, Calais actually finds the way to the castle no problem BUT they can't find the entrance. Eventually they just decide that the gate must have vanished, which is fair because even doors and gates need some time off sometimes (yes, that's Calais' reasoning) and the dancer just scales the walls and enters the room where everyone is fighting through a window. The royal and Kerah don't even question it when Calais tells them that the doors weren't there, the others are a bit confused since they don't know Calais that well yet and Jarek and Giada are like "Oh no, they've become even weirder" at first but then do a double take because what the hell, why is this useless idiot (or creature, as Giada calls them) so close with the royal? And did Ralston just thank them for helping them? Anyway, I so wanna do the "gets in through the window because they couldn't find the gate" thing Oof, but yea, understandable why Hias wouldn't try with the others after that. Can't be disappointed (or worse, forced to kill) if they don't try to contact them. And yup, still got their found family/siblings so at least Hias won't be alone
Oh no, even Kerah joins in xD But it's only fair since Ajax also teases him a lot. Also if anyone ever implies anything sexual someone will jokingly defend Ajax with the whole "as friends" thing by pointing out that one of Tahvo's engage skills (and personal skill) is literally called 'friends with benefits' so yea, definitely possible that Ajax would know about stuff like that and think they could try that with Kerah. And Tahvo joins in on the teasing too, saying that he's always happy to provide Ajax with ideas on what to do with their "bofrie- uh... best friend" Kerah
Makes sense, Hias and Vigran have suffered enough as well. But yea, still plenty of others you can be mean to! I know it's kinda cheating since it's too easy but have someone become a close friend of Fáelán or even have someone like the wolfboy. Angst is guaranteed with this because the wolfer almost gets himself killed so many times xD But even aside from that still plenty of stuff you can torment your OCs with Nice, Kerah finally decides to stop pitying himself and whoops, that damn battle happens. The world really hates him. But hey, at least things are getting better after all that traumatic stuff Yup. As for who gets to do that, I guess those who are left after selecting the ones who are the most useful or eager for the three groups. Or based on who shouldn't get into any battles at the moment. And some might volunteer because they enjoy that kind of work and also trust the others to find Kerah

Yea, cause you never go to the mountain/hill area in Firene so I'm like that's a good spot, then Brodia with that nice small island wouldn't have much reason to go there, then the nice lake there in elusia probably a cave around there that would be perfect for a ring to be placed, then that area in solm seems rather secluded but not to much out of the way for someone to find it Oooo nice!!! Looking at it I'm like maybe that island between firene and solm could be where Harrison is from maybe, the one by where the island that has the house on it
Yea, God surface dwellers why do you have to be so cruel and mean to the agarathans, gosh don't you know how lame you are, but yea even while gone he doesn't catch a break of shit happening
Yeeees XD gosh Phoniex look at how adorable Zinara is, they couldn't hurt a fly*please ignore the fact this case is about them attacking Kerah)
I love that scene and we need to do it, just the picture I'm getting is perfect XD, kerah probably just finds his own bird way in if he doesn't use the door, and yep Ralston jsut thanking Calais for any aid, suck on it Calais's shitty parents Yep can't be disappointed if you don't try, and ye got the found siblings
Omfg XD, yes just Ajax simply stating that's what they have. But then clearly get incredibly jealous when people hit on kerah, everyone is doing it 100% as a joke, because it's jsut so funny to see how jealous Ajax clearly gets over their "totally platonic best friend" having someone else interested in him
Yea sides I have plenty of others to torment so the ones I named are free from my reign of terror, the poor woofer he's just the best boy just wants to be accepted Yep finally decides Yep he's going to get his shit together, and make up with Ajax jsut to ahve to rush into that battle, and almost watch his somewhat maybe not partner almost die protecting him Yea probably will depend on who's best suited and maybe also whoever he gets to know as well would play apart in who wants to attend even if they might not be the best for it

some more planning of sorts, just maybe how to start it off
1. Starts with Ralston hunting down the dragon languz tribe(s), and trying to recruit people, because of the fell cult acting out more, and so he chooses(with permission), to go out and get the rings, and so would involve lythos for the start, before after our lythos people join, head to firene to start the round trip
2. do an attack on the castle, and the royal/retainers arrive to aid just so we get to have everyone together at the start, then bring everyone else in over the course of the story when they are in the respected country that character is in
3. maybe an attack on a kingdom instead, and ralston rushes in to aid that kingdom, and after the battle divine dragon comes and talks and then that is the cause for the rings to get collected cause the attack had been on the hall where the ring was kept

Yup, once again, those areas sound perfect. And they're also nice places for a battle since some of the hidden rings (those not taken by bandits) will want to test the squad first. And nice, now we know where your wolf is from too! Yea, can't believe those damn surface dwellers. Even them existing is a crime. And yup, really sucks for Neason. Probably thinks everyone is better off without him but nope, even in his absence some shit happens. But at least no one could claim it's his fault. I mean sure, none of his classmates would do that in the first place but yea Everyone in the damn courtroom agrees that the kitty would never do such a thing or if they did Kerah probably deserved it because just look at that cute lynx, they'd never attack someone without good reason. The raven must have done something bad! Kerah not using the door either makes this even better somehow xD Calais just being like "See? He had to take the window too!" And then some more knights or warriors who were away from the castle storm in and even then Calais doesn't realize that they just stood at the wrong side of the castle and that's why there was no door. Nope. still thinks the door took some time off. So when more people arrive Calais is just a little bit surprised "Oh, it's back already?" because those guys didn't come in through a window so they must have taken the main entrance. And yup, Hias has a new family now. Still hurts that their old siblings hate them or are just too awkward around them of course but it once again reinforces the idea that Firene is their real home now and those two a second chance for them to be an older sibling to someone once more Yea, Ajax just getting super jealous whenever their totally platonic friend with benefits so much as smiles at someone who's flirting with him xD Also some people listing some examples of extremely clingy and jealous best friends they've seen just to rub it in that while some rare cases like that exist Ajax is still not one of those. "I'm not saying they're 'more' or 'less' than romantic ones but they are still different. And you seem 100% like the romantic type, nothing platonic about what you're doing, mate." All that's missing is Ajax reacting with "I am not your mate! I already belong to Kerah! Uh... I mean... platonically. Yup, we're platonic mates." Yea, so much torment to hand out. I'll also look over my characters again to see what I can still do with them xD And yup, the wolfer really has it rough with his constant need to prove his loyalty to the others and with how the Followers hate him He really has such an awful time. It's like things don't seem to go right for him lately. At least it's all back to normal after that. Sure, traumatizing as hell but that's what you get for being one of Ember's characters, raven boy Yup. And we can decide who joins which group and who stays at the Somniel once we're at that part. By then we definitely know who would be best suited for what or who would prefer one thing over the other And nice, those ideas sound good! Really like the first one. And we could even combine it with the second. Ralston goes to recruit our dragons, they head back to Lythos Castle for a bit just before it gets attacked and we have our fist battle. We can still have some royals and retainers join in too and after that start the round trip after everyone heads to Firene. We could also combine the first and the third one. Ralston and the other dragons still go to the castle, find out that one of the other kingdoms is being attacked and the set off. Also, no matter which of the three options we take, before they leave Lythos Cenric will join. Sees that group of dragons (and royals, depending on what we choose) lead by the dragon child and takes this as the sign he had been waiting for

Sounds good! And for sure
Yea. The surface dwellers jsut ruint hing sby purely existing. Yep Neaosn just can't catch a break and even after the school year he has to go and try and salvage his house back home. Granted he really doenst care for it to begin with but probably at least has it become a minor noble house
Yep never hurt a fly, it was probably self defense against Kerah
Bet Kerah won't use the door, damn that door took such a short break, but so noble that it was willing to not take a break to ensure everyone could get in to help defend the castle, good on you door, hias does indeed and yea jsut a second chance at them getting to be an older sibling and this time they plan to not mess it up
Ajax very clearly jealous but still in denial, but yea basically "no I am with kerah **** off!!...except like it's platonic..." and basically Ajax: I don't love kerah, we are platonic best friends Kerah: You called Harrison a degenerate dog and that you hoped he got dragged behind a horse because he flirted with me Ajax: because he should know you and I are clearly together!...platonically
Yea, he will get all the sommie cuddles he could want come time for his stay at the somniel
Alright I can do a mix of 1 and 2, have him maybe jsut visiting the tribes and trying to recruit people, and yea so could have royals and retainers show up and it would be akin to just them going to visit as they usually do to just work to help build a relationship further with the divine dragon when they take over the kingdom

Yup, even after the school year and the months after that when they deal with the agarthans life is not gonna be easy. But it'd probably better if he remains a noble. Just so the commoners on his land have a decent noble for once. And he could do that whether he is a Great Lord or a minor noble. Hopefully the latter since the former is too much stress and responsibility. Hopefully the other Great Lords don't insist that his noble house still belongs at the round table Yup. Just look at that mean raven in his bird form. Such a huge bird with a sharp beak and talons. Of course the cute kitty would feel the need to defend themself against that fearsome raven. Never mind the fact that Zinara is a huge lynx and isn't afraid of the raven at all Someone really needs to tease Calais about this but then again it wouldn't bother them at all, they'd still insist that sometimes doors have a life of their own too, no matter how absurd the very idea is. And yup, though I'm pretty sure Marceau and Rayén would insist that Hias didn't mess up with their "first" siblings either as none of that was Hias' fault and that they had had no other options back then because with an accusation like that it really was just a choice between flee or die. And even if Hias thinks they failed their siblings by choosing the former their friends and found family will also point out that choosing the latter would have helped even less Yea xD And then some of the others will agree to help Ajax out with planning a roman- uh totally platonic candlelit dinner for the dragon and Kerah Yup, he gets all the Sommie cuddles! Fáelán will definitely like spending time on the Somniel, even if he's uncomfortable at first due to most not trusting him yet. And as much as he hates having to stay behind sometimes getting to be with little Sommie makes it a lot better. But man, that doggo sure gets a lot of attention. Now it's not just Ralston who loves to play and cuddle with him, at least two of his new friends (Orion and Fáelán) love him too Sounds good! Ralston recruits some dragons and the royals and retainers show up at Lythos Castle for a visit. So when we have our first battle (at this point probably some nameless and low level losers) we already have quite the team. As for everyone else, I guess we'll see how and when they get recruited Cenric - joins shortly before the squad leaves Lythos
Maylis - joins when the squad passes through her village in Firene. Either it's peaceful or some bandits or corrupted attack it Fáelán - joins some time after the first time the Followers fight the squad (after the good guys find their first hidden ring, so I guess the one in Firene?). Before he joins the squad meets Ivora for the first time.
Astor - joins after the squad has found Brodia's hidden ring Bijou - not sure yet, but probably also somewhere in Brodia Kirat - probably joins once the squad arrives in Solm because maybe Vigran ordered some of the Sentinels to keep watch near the borders

Yeaa maybe he'll stay as a great house and does work to try make everything better for the commoners on his land, but yea will jsut have to suffer with the responsibility but who knows maybe if he matures enough through the rp he would be able to at the very least put up with it, or I'd imagine he'd be given aid, akin to how Claude did granted he had a whole other game he was playing but like neason has a character that sinply advises him, jsut due to how young he is Zinara probably just for the court room puts off like they are afraid of the mean raven, just to sell the idea that everyone is forming that zinara is afraid. But then outside the courtroom Zinara whispers to Kerah they would attack him again no hesitation XD kerah so would tease them for it in friendly nature during the battle, cause he also used a window, but outside of that he def would in a friendly manner, and so true, while what happened was out of their control, and it was either run away and live or stay and die, either option would leave the siblings thinking Hias did the killings Now I'm just thinking that when they were trying to keep their relationship "hidden" Ajax continued to use the whole platonic term for their relationship, but then their jealousy gave them away whenever someone flirted with Kerah or them stating they are with kerah when they get flirted with, but I love it just people helping plan a totally platonic candlelit dinner. And ignore the ring you see, it's a ring of...friendship Yep best thing to ever happen in Sommie's opinion, has not 1 not 2 but 3 people that give cuddles and play with him Yea nameless low level ones work, and the named ones can come into play later, I'll get mine in a bit when they would come in a bit Rowan-when they go through the village he resides at, joins being Skye Ajax- one of the dragons Ralston recruited Yanser-battle at brodian castle. Cause kings assassin Llewellyn-battle against ivora in brodia Nordena-joins for the second ring in solm Jewel- joins against Praxars group, had something of hers stolen by the bandits and is trying to get it back Harrison- joins in solm possibly when they first arrive, just friendly wolf greeting them and then getting attached

Guess we'll see how much he matures through the rp. And yea, give this kid someone who can advise him because like you said, he's still very young when he has to take up all those noble duties. The one downside of Desai getting killed I guess. No one misses that guy of course but it sucks for Neason that he's now the head of house Cherith because he's probably not ready for this
They'd definitely do that xD Acts all cute and meek during the trial, casting the raven some fearful glances and once they're outside the lynx just threatens him again
Of course he would. And this is only one of many things Kerah can tease them about because Calais says probably even weirder stuff than that. And very true, either way the siblings would still believe Hias to be guilty. Man, someone really needs to deal with Sedral. Either force him to confess the truth or just kill him. Even if it's just off-screen and after the whole war is over. Astor would definitely want to punish him once she knows the true story because dang, this dude has gotten away with it for so many years
Yes, have their jealousy give them away! xD And yup, totally a friendship ring. They're asking Kerah to either enter a committed domestic partnership or a platonic marriage. Nothing romantic about it, nu-uh!
Ralston definitely has to allow his friends to still visit the Somniel after the war is over. Sommie wants to play with his buddies!
Yea, nameless ones at first and then they can finally encounter our named ones. And since we said they meet after the squad has found their first hidden ring it won't take too long either. I know Fiore and Fáelán will be on that team. I guess Maéva (as Jarún) will be there too since she already helped the Followers with finding the ring the royal family knows the location of. So baddies find the know ring, good guys find the hidden ring and just as both groups are about to leave Firene they meet and fight for the first time. Baddies hurry back to Elusia after that, Ivora wants to see that weird group for herself since what her allies described sounded like one of those divine dragons. So I guess she encounters them in Brodia (since you said that's when Llewellyn joins them in the battle against her) in some smaller village where many people are beginning to worship the fell dragon. Ivora claims she's one of those who are against those (either those who don't agree with the fell dragon fans want no religion at all or they worship the divine dragon), says she's going to introduce the squad to her fellow rebells and instead she just leads them to the crazy ones of the village who are just getting recruited by the followers (some nameless ones again) And interesting, Jewel joining the squad when they fight Praxar's gang. I'm just glad no one in the group is insensitive enough to joke that Vigran can make Jewel their new retainer as a replacement in case Zinara dies xD And yay, Harrison also joining in Solm. I think you said he might participate in some wolf fights there or at least is interested in them. Maybe at some point he suggests to the squad to go watch some of those fights? Tahvo would definitely be intrigued and feel slightly jealous because even if he were to engage with Kerah and use his wolfskin or wolfssegner form he probably wouldn't be allowed to participate because his wolf form looks so different from normal wolves and wolf laguz. Maybe he just asks if he can pair up with Harrison for a bit in case the latter wants to fight

Yep, but yea yes only going to be 18 by end of the rp, so he would still need an advisor to him regardless of maturity, just because the older nobles wouldn't trust a 'child' to be able to do it on their own
Yep Zinara slowly jsut making Kerah fear them instead, just Kerah now hiding behind their dragon partner outside the court room
Yep Kerah probably knows all sorts of things to tease Calais about. But knows when to do so. Can so see Kerah always asking Calais if they ever want him to maybe drop a fish or two or maybe some trash on their parents for a good old prank. But yea Sedral does probably need to be dealt with. Though even if Hias's name is cleared, they have no desire to return to brodia to live in, their place is in Firene and with Marceau and Rayén.
Probably after the whole kerah gets captured/Ajax nearly dies and make up, like I've mentioned it will be when Ajax openly uses more romantic terms, but before everyone has to deal with them and misusing platonic terms to describe their relationship with Kerah
Ralston just gives everyone a permanent blessing to join the somniel whenever they want
I'd say Levia and at the very least Nekosh will join when Fiore and Fáelán do, just cause rocket idiots, dalvani probably joins same time to but more in a back up role but second time she is more involved. Lukov probably joins when fight hits elusia, but the npc sister is in with the other named, but after her death is when he really gets involved in the fights. For Llewellyn I can change it if you want her to come into play later, as I'm also thinking that be joins for the castle fight just cause his father roped him into it with his father and two brothers being involved with being knights for the king I don't think anyone would have the heart to do that even if someone was insensitive enough to. Cause they'd take one look at the very traumatized vigran and the badly injured Zinara, and knowing how close these two are, wouldn't dare make it. But yea "hey so you lost your cat but hey there's a brand new one right over there! Sure this one was a lynx you've known for years, and that one over there is just a cat and she doesn't like her beast form, but still a cat for you" Ooo I like that! Harrison introducing them to the wolf fights, while at the start he is just interested in them, but would probably give it at least one try, and def would be willingly to pair with tahvo to let the emblem give it a shot, cause screw those rules being mean and saying the wolfskin can't be in it!

I mean, would they be wrong? Neason is only 18 by then and while he probably matured a lot in a little over a year he's still lacking experience on how to be a Great Lord. Then again there are plenty of incompetent nobles and they're much older than Neason so I guess they would be hypocrites to automatically distrust him because of his age. But even if they somehow didn't belittle him for being a 'child' he'd still be better of with an advisor because that whole noble thing is a lot to just suddenly dump on an 18 year old
Zinara making Kerah fear them even more by claiming they're here to collect a monthly fee of hm I dunno. Ten feathers?
Yup, Kerah knows what and what not to tease them about. And Calais might take him up on that offer. Maybe it's a once-every-year thing already xD And yea, have someone deal with Sedral, even if it's off-screen. And nice, I figured they wouldn't want to return to Brodia even if things were cleared up. It is something Marceau has definitely thought about at some point though. As in, told Hias that if their innocence is ever proven and they want to go back to Brodia then they don't have to stay in Firene and shouldn't let duty and loyalty stop them from living the life they want. Just giving Hias his approval of them going wherever their true home is. But while he actually meant that it was probably still pretty clear that he would prefer for them to stay
Yay, Ajax finally using the right words! And probably realises it's so much easier to say those instead of trying to come up with a platonic explanation all the time. It only took them two horrid experiences xD
Hooray, everyone gets to visit the animals there (and especially Sommie) whenever they want!
Yea, Maéva will also be a bit more in the background for that battle. So our two idiots and their laguz will do the most. Well, of the two laguz only Nekosh I guess because Fáelán will definitely not try his best, he'll mostly just defend himself, much to Fiore's annoyance. Maéva will mostly observe and help out if one of the others is struggling. And I guess she or Dalvani will give the order to retreat once the Followers realize their group isn't prepared to deal with those weird new opponents. And okay, Llewellyn joining for the castle fight instead sounds actually really good. While I do intend for Ivora to show up for the first time while the squad is in Brodia I think I want her first appearance to be after the castle defense. Either when the squad is looking for the hidden ring or when they're getting ready to leave Brodia but still have to pass through a village or two before they reach the border Yea, no one would be that cruel, even those who can be accidentally insensitive at times. None of my jokesters would do that, especially not Lara because making a joke like that is not something she's comfortable with, especially given the situation. And also because she feels kinda responsible for it because the squad fought the bandits so they could get her ring, which the bandits took from its hiding place. But yea, "Welcome to the team, Jewel, you're now this traumatized kid's new retainer. And don't expect to ever be a proper replacement for their previous one, you'll always be reminded in one way or another that you're not their lynx-kitty. Have fun!" Yay, everyone gets to watch the wolf fights and Tahvo can team up with Harrison and even engage without having to use his beastform. Instead he gets to experience how cool the wolf laguz form is. Also, kinda cool how intrigued my wolf is by this because Tahvo usually doesn't enjoy fighting and competition like that. So it's nice that he also has some exceptions to this

I want to go home from work, hving to do two whole departments on my own, but bright side after lunch break only three hours left
Yea. I mean Neason would need one regardless of maturity just cause he's still so young, that it would jsut be a given he would need help with it till he shows he knows what he is doing/can handle it, and yea really is alot especially with everything that happens in the school uear, neason would need all the help possible
Kerah just hiding behind Ajax, who protects him except when they are in fights, when that happens take 15 but give them 5 of that
Just a really important speech one of them is giving, to rally troops, right as they are about to win them over a bunch of trash is suddenly dumped on them. Hias would dismiss it saying that thry choose to go to firene, and to take the offer of being a retainer, and that they aren't going to jsut toss away the relationships they have made just cause their name is now cleared. Hias's place is with Marceau and Rayén now, firene is their home now
Yep just two horrid experiences and Ajax just drops it, the teasing not helping either, but now is much happier to jsut be able to say. "Yep that raven over there. That's my boyfriend"
Yep, Ralston won't gatekeep anyone from visiting from his friends, plus makes the animals happier too
Sounds good, we got that worked out then. And yea Nekosh probably would since theu would be working to make sure Levia doesn't get the two of them killed, and Dalvani probably would call the retreat, levia would just be pushing to keep going Sounds good, I'll make sure to edit for Llewellyn that he's also the castle "Don't worry if they don't want anything to do with you, after all they knew their other cat for years, it will jsut take time probably for them to accept you. And don't worry if they aren't as ride or die for you, and willing to defend you when you are accused of things" yea would just be so cruel to not only force her into a retainer role, but to just really state that it's just cause Zinara died she got it, while vigran is heavily traumatized just sets it up for disaster That would be interesting, for the beastkin that come if they partner up with a languz or their same kind, though only really works for the wolfskin but maybe kitsune

Oh what the hell, two whole departments? Really hope those three hours after break go by fast. Are you understaffed or why do you have to do that one your own?
Yup, he may have learned a lot at Garreg Mach, as did all the other noble students, but he's definitely not ready to take over immediately after graduating. Same goes for the others of course but unlike Neason they have more time to fully prepare for their future role since their parents are still alive and thus will be the head of their noble houses for a few more years until they let their kids take their place. So yea, give Neason some advisors who know a thing or two about being a competent noble so he can get by in the first few years until he really knows his stuff
And if Ajax is ever feeling like being a bit mean to Kerah (not in an actually mean spirited way of course, more in a joking manner) they can turn into their dragon form while Kerah is hiding behind them
Said troops are still won over because they're jumping at the chance to fight but they will have a great laugh at this and will always remind Jarek or Giada of that trash incident, even years later. And looks like Hias and Marceau have already cleared that up already then. Hias knows they are allowed to do what they like with their life and that no one will judge them for it and Marceau and Rayén know that Hias has no intention of returning to Brodia even if either of them or someone else were to find a way to prove their innocence
The squad will probably ease up on the teasing after that and let Ajax spend even more alone time with their boyfriend since the dragon deserves some nice romantic outings where they don't have to feel embarrassed or awkward about referring to them as such. But it's never entirely forgotten either and every now and then someone will jokingly remind Ajax of the many instances where they tried to come up with a platonic explanation for their obviously romantic feelings for Kerah
Also a real nice change since you said Ralston used to hide whenever some of the other nobles visited Lythos. And now he's just allowing everyone to come and go as they please
Yup. So that's the baddie group our good guys will meet after they got their first hidden ring. Nice introduction to the Fell Followers since they get to see a nice variety already. Two idiots, three normal ones (one being an annoyed snow leopard) and a wolf who's clearly unhappy to be part of this. Also the first time Marceau sees Jarún, even though she won't do much at this point. When the baddies retreat she'll consider challenging him anyway but ends up only staring at him and maybe taking a few steps in his direction before she finally decides to flee with the others. So the two don't get to fight each other yet but Marceau will definitely wonder who that was because even with most of her face hidden he could see the hatred, resentment and betrayel in her eyes Alright, thanks ^^ And also nice for the squad since now they get two new friends at the castle Yup, would be such an awful way for her to join the squad. So yea, thankfully no one is this mean and I'm nice enough to not kill the lynx. Still gonna be traumatizing for Vigran though and I hope they won't feel too guilty over Zinara nearly dying protecting them. It would definitely make the lynx feel bad too because they never meant to upset Vigran Yea, it might work with kitsune too since we said we can have more kinds of laguz than just the canon ones (so fox laguz are definitely a thing. Especially since you considered making Praxar the kid of a fox laguz and a kitsune)

Yea was short handed today, as the two departments, frozen and dairy, it's jsut the managers that work into hem and both were off. One took vacation and the other requested it off. So I had to work both jsut to get the truck pallets done
Yea def needs one cause he has training but not enough o just be able to take it on, and don't think k you can have the advisor just make neason do what you want you old geezers, this boy set to make changes
Omg for sure, just turns into little dragon and just sits on zinaras back or shoulders depending which firm they are in "Sorry Ker you are on your own" (Ajax calls kerah, ker, as a nickname/pet name)
True sure they get won over, umbut the trash incident lives on, and maybe becomes a reoccurring theme for some weird reason. Yep, they have it cleared up, so no need to worry there. The siblings will stick together
Yea, will be fun stories to share at the wedding. "Hey Ajax, remember that time when Zinara took off some of Kerah's feathers for what he teased Vigran about. And you were very instant from a friend stand point that kerah was still very attractive"
Yep! At first was due to shy kid energy but then just grew to just being told to do as such from his parents due to his naivety. But now he's very welcoming to anyone afterwards. "Ph you want to come visit! Sure come on over I'll even prepare some food!"
Sounds like a good plan, ill make sure to get this down in the front page or something, and yess love that with those two and how it starts to build to the reveal Yep, two new friends Yea no one will have the ability to joke over this, and I swear if zinara dies I will personally reach through the screen and punch you, Zinara is to great to kill off Yep that was his thing, being born between the two, so yea kitsune would work to

Man, work really sucks sometimes, especially when stuff like that happens. They really should have more people for this
Better hope his advisor is not insisting on keeping things the way they are and is more open to change because yea, Neason has his own ideas and if any of the other Great Lords tries to set him up with an advisor who wants him to reinforce the old shitty ways he is not going to do any of that. But they won't try that anyway if they know what's good for them. Neason may be too young for such responsibility and decisions but they still shouldn't look down on him because while he probably has matured a little he might still enjoy setting stuff on fire
That little traitor xD And cute, giving Kerah a nickname like that
Yea, it has to be a reoccurring thing xD And no one knows when exactly it will happen again so those two will keep making their speeches and every time they're dreading the possibility of some trash landing on them again. And yup! They'll still try to reason with Hias' siblings though because just because Hias fully intends to stay in Firene doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get their siblings to stop hating them
Oh definitely. Just some fun stories to share at the wedding. Kerah and Ajax better not allow their friends to give speeches because some of them would definitely list all those instances where Ajax denied having any romantic feelings for Kerah. And it's not even in chronological order, it's sorted by what everyone's favorite excuses are
I wonder what his parents think about it. They're probably happy for him that he found so many friends and that he's not as shy and also less naive now. But they might still be a bit surprised that he's just allowing everyone to visit whenever they want
Alright! As for the battles after that first encounter, I guess it depends on the missions. Ivora will be part of the group every now and then, especially at the later points, but earlier on she won't accompany the other followers as much because the dragon child and his allies aren't too much of a threat yet. And yup, that first battle between those groups is also where it starts to build to that reveal. And from there on Marceau will try to get some information about "Jarún" because he's absolutely sure he's never met her before but for some reason she seems to have a personal grudge against him. So yea, he'll ask some people who have encountered that group of Followers, will question some enemies and, once he joins, will also ask Fáelán to share everything he knows about her. And often spend some time alone to try and piece all the information he has together I swear I will not kill the lynx. They're too cute to die. I won't even be too mean to them (unless I suddenly come up with something and think I absolutely have to do that). The worst thing I'm gonna do to Zinara is the thing with Praxar and that's probably it. And if I ever change my mind feel free to have Ralston somehow have the time crystal xD So the taguel are the only ones who don't get anything. Good thing Néo isn't one of the emblems because he would throw a tantrum over not getting to pair up with any laguz, at least none that are similar to his kind

Yea, but thankfully the pallets where small, still took my whole shift to get them done.
Yea, Neason would not hesitate to set a room on a fire if he didn't like what the advisor was trying to get him to do. Or Neason will just constantly remind the advisor that he is the head of the house, he makes the final decision, and if the advisor doesn't like it the door is right over there
Yep, Ajax can be a little traitor. And yea it was easy to come up from kerah and still sounds cute, but there's nothing you can do with ajax. But now I have the idea much like jsut simple gentle touches making Ajax a blushing mess, those generic pet names(love/sweetheart/etc) also jsut sends them into being a blushing mess
Omg makes it better that it's at random. Just relieved when trash doesn't drop on them, but sometimes that jsut makes it all the mroe satisfying when trasg does cause they thought they would be safe. Yea doesn't hurt to at least try make amends
"So this story takes place before the one Zinara shared but after the one Harrison share-" meanwhile Ajax is jsut dying of embarrassment, and Kerah is laughing his ass off. Till stories about him are shared to embarrass the raven
I'd imagine yea would be happy to see how far their kid came, he not only is very welcoming to people but no longer as shy, and he's natured/lost most of his naivety
Sounds good, and yea don't blame her. And probably if she remembers anything about Ralston from that fight, guy instead of fighting was trying to talk to people. But understandable about her getting more involved when they show they can really pose a threat. Yea cna def see why it triggers hik to want to know more about why this stranger hates him so strongly Bet bet, yea Ralston jsut there gripping the crystal ready to use it, when my guy there is so many points where you could used it to avoid your friends being traumatized Yea there are no rabbit themed languz..

Well that's something at least. Still not a great work day. Hopefully it's not just you next time for this Yup, he still gets the final say so his advisor better learn to accept Neason's ideas and plans if they want to keep the job. But maybe he's lucky and his advisor also dislikes how things are right now and wants to see some change That's adorable. It really doesn't take much to make Ajax a blushing mess. And it's even cuter when they're in their dragon form Yup, it being at random makes it so much more fun! That way they never really know what to expect and whether or not they need to prepare for this. And yea. While it doesn't work out in their favor at least they can say they tried. It's not much but it might make it a little bit easier to accept Oh hell yes, they all share those stories about Ajax first and then once it looks like Kerah really won't expect it at all they suddenly share embarrassing stories about him too! Yup, they really can be proud of him for having grown so much. And might still acknowledge that the experiences that lead to him becoming less naive couldn't have been easy for him. And given how long his parents have lived already they might have seen their fair share of betrayal and disappointment too so they could definitely relate in some way Yea, after seeing how naive he is she really has a hard time taking him all that seriously and doesn't think it's necessary for her to be part of those missions just yet. She does think that group might become a serious threat one day so she takes some action to undo some of their good deeds or otherwise damage their reputation but for the beginning that's all she does about them. And yup, especially since he can tell it's not a simple "I just hate you because you oppose us" but something personal. With the first few clues (one being that she's originally from Firene) he'll think she's someone who wasn't happy with how his family runs the kingdom but even then this specific form of hate she shows doesn't make much sense as it's still too personal. Fáelán provides some more useful hints once he joins since he says that Jarún was the one who knew where Firene's second ring was. And then there's also the fact that Fáelán keeps looking at Marceau weirdly sometimes because he shares some similarities with Jarún but it will take some time before the wolf will point that out. Marceau still begins to suspect something is up before that since he notices that Fáelán keeps staring at him sometimes and also that the wolf refuses to answer his questions about whether or not he knows what Jarún looks like Yea, imagine Ralston having this crystal with him, even knowing exactly what it does, but only using it if the kitty dies and only then. Someone else dies? Meh, too bad, you're not a cute lynx. Other traumatizing stuff? Just deal with it, I can't just fix everything for you Yup, so far we only allow other kinds of birds (aside from just hawks, ravens and herons), other kinds of cats (like snow leopards and lynxes) and other canidae than just wolves (in addition to foxes maybe there are also coyotes, jackals and others, even if they're only npcs)
Also, what rings do we give the good guys and which ones the baddies? I know the Followers will find the second ring in Firene while Ralston's squad gets the castle one and the hidden ring. The good guys also get both rings in Brodia by the looks of it. What about Lythos? Does the squad get both rings from there or does a nameless npc group take one ring and the few who survive the battle manage to escape with it? As for Elusia, the baddies definitely have the one from the castle. They might get the hidden one too. Maybe that's the one where the good guys almost win but then some reinforcements show up, forcing them to retreat and letting the baddies take the hidden ring? You know, the battle after which Fáelán will leave the squad for a while to chase after the Followers. And then there are the rings in Solm. The good guys will definitely get the one from the castle. Praxar's gang finds the hidden one and I'm not sure about the second ring (the one the royal family knows about) Since we also need one ring that's taken by another group of bandits (the one with the bird Kerah knew) I guess they could either find Solm's second ring or they show up for Elusia's hidden ring. And instead of almost defeating the bad guys until reinforcements show up Ralston's squad could simply fight the bandits for the ring but before they can take it after beating those guys the Followers swoop in and take it. Especially easy since the good guys are probably a bit distracted, especially Kerah. Also makes it even worse for him and Ajax since the group briefly splits up to regroup somewhere else and while it doesn't take long for everyone to get away Kerah still has his dragon to worry about. Only good thing is that he can help Ajax a little by engaging with Tahvo and using his magic I guess I also need to figure out when Fáelán will rejoin the squad. I said he'll distract some Followers (wolf laguz from his former tribe) so they can't interfere with the emblem trial. So I guess he could do that when the squad finds Solm's second ring. Or he does this while the squad fights Praxar and their gang instead as that's a tough battle too and the evil wolf laguz would make things even harder for them so he has to distract those meanies

Also here are some quotes because why not
Kirat, internally: God dammit. It's Calais! Kirat, waving his hand: Morning, Calais! Calais, walking by: The world will be reduced to ash. Kirat: Jesus Christ, that guy scares me.
Vigran: Bijou had a lot of ups and downs. May he rest in peace. Rayén: He died?! Vigran: Not yet. Vigran: But he ate Zinara’s fish.
Kerah: The next time Astor is angry with me, I'll drape her in a cape and say "now you're super angry" Kerah: Maybe she'll laugh, maybe I'll die
Ralston: Can I ask you for a favor? Fáelán: I would literally die for you, but continue. Ralston: We need to talk about you starting sentences that way.
Kirat: Vigran did what? Cenric: I wouldn’t let them see Zinara since they were still resting. I told Vigran that unless they were injured, they weren’t allowed to stay… Cenric: So they punched themself in the face and told me they were injured. Kirat: Well… you have to admire their dedication.
Ajax: Kerah made me feel things. Ronera: What things? Ajax: Feelings. Ronera: Kerah made you feel feelings? Ajax: Yeah. Ronera: What a bitch.
Kerah: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me? Ajax: I don't know. When are you going to ask me to? Tahvo: And you just ran away?! Kerah: I didn't expect them to flirt back!
Maéva: You wanna bang? Ivora: Maéva: …hang! I mean hang! Stupid autocorrect. Ivora: This is a verbal conversation-
Levia: I had a thought, but… Nekosh: What happened? Nekosh: Did it die of loneliness? Levia:
