Major Healing!

Winston waved a hand at the medic as he fussed over him, both pleased he cared and feeling foolish for having caused such concern.

"Af cars yuh did. Wow-wee, wat an onna! Almost certainly cus yuh is a gud kinda chap." He said as if it was an obvious thing.

"Oh yus. 'Plus One'. A camman tink at weddin's, even far Immartals et wud seem." He turned to Ayla before expressing new excitement at the girl. "WOW! Me only eva been en Saiore's realm... I mean, dat makes far a pretty interestin' place, but I bet Viri's realm wus cool mun. Yuh most 'ave loved et?"

His ears pricked up at the mention of the Blacks. "Oh! I went tuh dere weddin'. Et wus last Arch and wus de first Idalos weddin' me ever attended. Et wus pretty gud. Tiggy wus nat soh keen. Bot dem es a bit shy."

As Ayla blurted out about the dragon and her grandmother the ferret gasped. "A DRAGAN?! Well I say. Me shar es glad yuh Granny wus OK. Me 'ere dat dragans cun spoil even de most determined party-goers fon." He admitted with a playful grin. There was probably more to that particular story, but he decided that it was not appropriate to probe the topic with a child present.

The ferret nodded along to the story as Tristan continued. "OOOOoooooo... A speach? Me cun magin dat yuh dad gives gud speeches." He scurried over to beside the girl and leaned in towards he. He held both his hands out, making two 'L' shapes, one with each hand and framing her father in his sights. "'im look like 'im 'as gud projecshun." He nodded.

The fairies, some of which were flitting around him, while others perched all over the walls and shelves began to let out little jingles as they emphatically expressed their desire to hear more stories.
Kelpie
spoke out most clearly, as the others spoke among themselves and gave little rounds of applause that sounded like something sizzling in a frying pan. "Oh would you? That would be splendiferous! We could arrange a party!"

There was a chorus of approval from the other fairies and cries for a theme. "A Tea Party... No! A garden party!... Garden parties are for weddings, Snuffle, it should be a tree-sitting party... Oh yes! Tree's LOVE stories!"

Kelpie did a little spin and fluttered back over the Ayla. "Will you come back? We can do some more summersaults!" She exclaimed, so doing one herself.

When the rules were laid out for swimming Angela nodded, in total agreement. "Of course. I will not leave her alone. The last time I checked it was quite deep, though..." She turned to Winston. "Do you think that Chest could make it shallower for us?"

The ferret smiled, looked at the ceiling for a moment and then nodded with a bright smile. "Wat do yuh say Chest? .... Tanks buddy!" He looked back at his guests. "Et will be waist deep now. Jost let Angela know ef yuh want et shallowa. She cun Hala-cam me." He glanced at Angela to confirm she was happy with the arrangement and she smiled.

When Tristan showed an interest in the Tunawan alchemy, he explained about the circles, glyphs and singing. "...Yuh see? Yuh find de cannecshun between tings usin' de cannecshun between intenshuns. Dem are a littal like magic circles... Like circle magic ar somet'ing, bot the prapaties are camman acrass all Alchemy me tink. "

He was captivated by the master alchemist's suggestions. "OOOoooooo. A metabolizer... Noh, dat wud be awesome!"

With Tristan, he would go over the recipe, drawing on the man's experience, sharing his own knowledge of food alchemy and worked towards creating the final healing chew that would allow a person to re-grow a limb... WITHOUT dying in the process. "De bat blood creates an insaciable hunga. Et feeds an de bady af de persan ef yuh ar nat carful. Perhaps we cud include wat et needs from the blood af sometin' like a pig..." Winston didn't know if Tristan was squeamish about such things, but as a chef, he certainly was not. The idea of having a valid use for what would otherwise be drained and thrown away was actually quite appealing to him.
Notes on this new Chew
Winston already created a healing chew from the Emperor Bat here.

Peg ruled that I needed to thread some extra detail regarding dealing with the side-effects before it would do the full regrowth effect of the bat. I hope this accomplishes that in joint effort with Tristan (GM Alchemy).
The two of them worked for a while, time passing them by, before the girls returned, hair wet, but otherwise dried and having had a lot of fun. "Hello you two. It's probably time to get some dinner. I don't suppose you remembered to eat?" She asked the ferret with an accusing tone.

He chuckled. "Well, noh, but LOOK!" He thrust the recipe at the girl. "Look wat we made!"

Angela read the scruffy hand-writing, not understanding anything beyond the title. "Regrow limbs indeed? Vega's hunders will appreciate that the next time they meet a dire wolf." She said with mirth.

The Cadouri span around to Tristan. "Wud yuh like tuh stay far dinna? We all eat around do main campfire. Et's great fun. Yuh are mar den welcam tuh stay ef yuh wish. Me share Chest cun sommon-up a room far de night." He smiled kindly. "Me totally onda-satnd ef nat doh. Yuh cun always com back annodda trial."

He suddenly burst out with a further offer. "OH! Yuh most take an Emperor bat wid yuh also. 'ere." He gave Tristan a writ with his name on it. "De hunta's 'ere in Sweetsang bring dem back all de time. Please.
Take one an me in tanks far 'elpin' tuh camplete de recipe.

Appearance

When standing at his full height, Winston towers a full 1 foot and one blueberry tall. A fact he will happily demonstrate before flicking said blue orb into the air with his nose and then eating it with a snappy grin.

His eyes are dark and sharp, ringed by dark brown fur upon the bright white fur that sets off across the rest of his face.

Equipement

Winston usually carries the following on his person:
  • Cassion's Locket hangs snugly around his neck.
  • Winston's Fairy Bell hangs from his tool-belt attached to his hip. It's 'ringer' is often bound by a small piece of cloth to prevent it giving away his position while in the wilderness.

“Bellinos was beautiful“, Tristan confirmed and grinned. He loved how excited his new friend was. “It was unlike any other place I’ve ever visited. There were sculptures and trees in the innermost sanctum. They seemed to be gray at first, but when I looked at them, they suddenly lit up in a multitude of colors and brought back memories of trials long gone by, most of them bittersweet. Vri is the Immortal of Sadness, among other things”, he explained, in case Winston was wondering why looking at the things in Bellinos had made him remember bittersweet things rather than happy things.

He truly appreciated that Winston talked about dragons in a playful tone of voice in order to (likely) not scare Ayla who looked at the cadouri fascinatedly and giggled. (Un)fortunately, Tristan didn’t know what the dragon in Rynmere was like, but it couldn’t be a very pleasant creature. There was one dragon he had met though (at least he thought it had been a dragon), so, he remarked in a light-hearted tone of voice, “I met a dragon once, not that dragon though. Elyna Burhan rode it. It landed in the street where I lived!”

“You can ride dragons?”
Ayla asked incredulously.

“Elyna could”, Tristan confirmed and nodded.

“Thank you”, Tristan said when Winston remarked that he could imagine he gave good speeches.

Both Tristan and Ayla laughed when the fairies argued about which party they would have before Tristan who was in a good mood and of course an excellent diplomat and a master of negotiation, proposed, “It could be a tree-sitting tea party that takes place in a garden! I’ll even ask my little Mokou tree if it would be willing to come. It might appreciate meeting new trees.”

He was serious about that. In his opinion, trees had feelings, too!

When Kelpie asked her if she would come back, Ayla nodded eagerly before she remembered that she should probably ask her daddy for permission. She looked at Tristan.

Tristan nodded.

Of course, they would come back!

“Thank you”, Tristan said in a sincere tone of voice when Angela agreed not to leave her alone at the pool. He momentarily looked worried when she said that it was quite deep, but relaxed when Chest agreed to make it waist deep. Well, he looked relaxed for a moment before the expression on his face turned to one of utter amazement. He couldn’t do such things!

“Chest, you are great!” he said.

While the girls were gone, Tristan and Winston went over the recipe. Tristan was not particularly squeamish about things like blood (anymore). He had worked as a healer, after all. He did have an issue with killing animals needlessly though, so in order to make sure that nobody killed pigs just to get their blood (Not that he really suspected Winston of that!), he said, “Maybe you could get some pig blood from a butcher? I know that they sell blood sometimes.”

Tristan and Winston worked for a while, but eventually the girls returned. When Tristan saw Ayla with wet hair and a huge smile on her face, he grinned at her and asked her, “Did you have fun?”

Ayla nodded before she asked, “Can we go swimming in Chest again sometime? Please, daddy?”

“You have to ask Winston – and Chest”,
Tristan replied because he couldn’t tell his daughter what she was allowed or wasn’t allowed to do in somebody else’s home (or in somebody else).

“Chest and Winston, can I go swimming again sometime, please?” Ayla asked politely. Whatever the answer was, she would accept it (reluctantly, in case they said no!).

Most of the alchemy went right over Ayla’s head, but she perked up at the mention of regrowing limbs and asked, “Can your alchemy stuff also make you grow more limbs?”

“I’d love to”,
Tristan said when Winston asked him if he would like to stay to dinner.

Ayla on the other hand simply exclaimed, “Yay, dinner!”

All the swimming had made her hungry!

“Yes, please, let’s sleep here”, she added when Winston mentioned Chest summoning a room.

“Thank you”, Tristan said and grinned when Winston offered him an Emperor bat in exchange for his help - and secretly wondered how he was going to handle such an animal!

  • Alchemical Rainbow Explosives: These can and will do no harm, they simply explode with a little popping sound with impact and create a blast radius inside which everything is turned rainbow coloured. The radius is not large, but increases with volume. A cup of the stuff would be enough to colour a room if it exploded.
  • Recipe: Alchemical Greater Healing Chew - This recipe makes a single healing chew that is capable of healing Major wounds and even regrowing a recently lost (within 10 breaks of the loss) limb. The process would still be extremely painful were it not for the sedative affect of the chew that puts the patient to sleep throughout the process. After a single Break (hour) or rest a single limb can be restored to a living creature. Requirements to make: Alchemy (Master), 1 x Emperor Bat, 1 x Single portion of Moukou Beans, 1 x quart of fresh animal blood, access to a supply of other Tier 8 Regends for Flavour Binders and Accelerants, etc.

Notes: I really enjoyed this thread. This just goes to show what a Meet and Greet type thread can be, and that it's just as fun as anything. It's all what you put into it, and the characters involved. You both made good use of your npcs, never sidelining them but having them interact with every step of the way.

I love that Winston and Tristan put their heads together for some alchemical stuff, and that Winston taught Tristan a bit about tunawa alchemy! Chip even got a mention. I also enjoyed the references to Bellinos and Vri's Wedding, which was a fun event as I remember.

Lots of great moments in here, but what really stood out to me was the characterization of each of the pcs along the way. I like that Ayla got to try out being a fairy for a while!

Great writing you two!
