I'm doing something a little special with my introduction post, but it's going to take a bit longer.
Saya's not a danger to anyone.

So long as you don't mess with her booze or books. At that point, I can't guarantee anyone's safety...


No worries. Nibiria's very skilled with ropes. Comes with the territory, after all.
@Mae

Oh, I absolutely adore interpersonal relationships. If this is the finalized cast, I might just tackle this. I'll have to take some creative liberties with why people visited the doctor, though.
Been wondering, if Nibiria should have any "opening thoughts" on the cast, as, as I think about it, at one point, they would have all passed through her cottage for medical attention or general caught her attention, like in the case of Penumbra and Bojangles.

That might be interesting to write as her "connections" to Hearth as a whole.
@Enkryption, @The Irish Tree

Hah, I greatly enjoyed that post. <3



Yeah. Basically. Been joking about Whimsy taking on a Humanoid Form like Carroll, out of jealousy, and they have a fight every time they see each other.
Featuring dialogue from: @The Irish Tree
<Unda da sea...> Alice hummed.

<Unda da sea...> Carroll followed.

<Darling, it's betta down where it's wetta!> Alice looked to Carroll, beaming.

<Take it from -- WHAT THE HELL!?!> Carroll shouted, as Liliana interrupted the impromptu sing-along.

<Dive! Dive! Dive!> Alice shouted, seeking to descend away from the surface threat of a waterlogged fairy - it was darker under the water, and Liliana was trying to speak like an utter moron, which was disguising her face by the panicked bubbles of her drowning.

<Dive! Dive! Dive!> Carroll echoed, before taking Alice by the arm, and using her tail to thrust downward.

However, Alice's hair went up, having zero resistance from gravity, and thus Liliana could grasp it, and get a fistful with her flailing and tangle up her arm nicely. Which played a pivotal role in the sheer pain of being fished out of the water, as Carroll was going in one way, and Liliana was suddenly going in another, as the anchor-weighed rope cast beside the fairy, and snagged her dress.

Like a piece of bait, Liliana, unwittingly, did her job, and served to fish the trio of Mamono out of the water in an arc of monster girl.

Funny thing about fairies: They have never once had to hold their breath under water. From time of birth to death, most water they encountered was manageable. As such, Liliana’s supposed drowning was more of an actual drowning, as the fairy sank like a rock from lack of know-how on swimming. "Allisssshhhppp…" Liliana blurbed, foolishly losing every bit of air her lungs had stored by trying to talk, arm going limp in just the right way to get tangled in Alice’s hair to get yanked along with her.

Alice groaned, as she slapped onto the dock like a wet fish, and slowly rose to her feet. "What were you thinking!? Who does that!? My hair!" she shouted, as she worked through what was angering her the most.

Liliana would flop free of Alice’s hair and onto her own back, the fairy waterlogged and slowly spouting water from her mouth like it was a whale’s blowhole. …It was probably becoming readily apparent to Alice that Liliana had dove in without having an inkling of an idea of how swimming worked.

"Why would you just dive into the water without thinking!? If you can’t swim, would you -- I can’t even comprehend -- I -- Why are you so stupid!?" Alice threw her arms up in exasperation. Simple-mindness was cute for a season, but when it became life-threatening, things changed.

After sufficiently losing enough water to have her mouth work again, Liliana would cough and hack, before looking at Alice, smiling softly. "Because…I don’t…want someone who’s a friend getting eaten by big scary red snake fish ladies…" she said. "Whimsy said you were around someone ‘sketchy’ and ‘smelly’, so…I thought you were in trouble. And a knight never leaves a friend!"

…Stupid, but entirely chivalric. Such was the fairy knight.

"Oi, oi, oi!! You bastard bitch! You wanna fight! We can fight! Right here! Right now!" Carroll shouted, slamming her thicc tail on the dock; the equivalent of banging her haft, since her tail was essentially just that. "C’mon! Square up! I’ll show you sketchy and smelly, when I throw you into the goddamn sea -- ON FIRE, YOU ALL NATURAL HARLOT!!"

Whimsy would immediately launch itself at Carroll and begin an epic duel to the death while the camera remained solely on the significantly less important event of Liliana coughing and looking to Alice. "Who is that lady? Is she…a friend of yours? Did I mess up again?" the fairy asked, voice quivering a bit at the end.

"That’s Carroll..." Alice sighed, before sitting down. "And, no... you didn’t mess up, you dunderhead... just..." Alice looked for the words in the space between her hands, before she sighed, and leaned back on them. "You need to think ahead. You’ll never become my First Bladeflower, if you drown, you simpleton."

Liliana would be quiet for a moment before curling up on her side, wings spreading out to dry in the sun. "...I wouldn’t deserve it anyways. I’ll never be as strong as Rosebu-hey wait, before we keep having a deep talk about my self-”estem” issues, WHO THROWS AN ANCHOR AT PEOPLE IN THE WATER!?"

"Moreover, who the hell wears that gaudy rainbow colored armor in the middle of the day in public on purpose without shame," Alice asks. "You look like a tie-dye reject."

"Yeah! Tye-Die!"

All the while Carroll was dueling to the death with Whimsy in the most epic animation-budget eating battle that will inevitably mean something later down the line has to be really bad 3DCGI.

Attention shifted away from the water, and onto ragging on their savior, Alice would pay no mind to the duel of the fates behind her; more interested in digging on Ian’s (lack of) fashion sense, despite being a naked, hatless Mad Hatter in the middle of the docks.

Truly, there was no file that could prepare anyone for the full experience of Wonderland.
Who need insurance when moss taste dis good.


I've been thinking about it, spiders are kinda clean freaks - most are seen keeping themselves clean, and that themes very well with dryads being more lively in clean forest, and doctors being very sterile in their own environments.

So, humourously, I have come to think that Nibiria would allow Wormwood to exist in her house, because she'd need someone that is willing to keep her cottage clean while she's doing research, and he's unwitting enough to not know the difference between "gainful employment" and "unpaid labor" - yet, beneficially, he would have shelter, compensation (by way of cooked meals and hot baths), and the security that Nibiria would, probably, protect him from overt danger and heal his injuries.

Plus, he might just earn some Skills by observing her at work and cleaning around the house.
@Mae

That's perfectly fine with me. I thought it was kinda funny. "She's the doctor, but she also a witch, but she heals us, but it's never free, she's kinda nice, but kinda scary..."

Nibiria Arachne, Caution Advised.

As for the quests at hand, Nibiria will immediately gravitate to whatever is in the woods, if it's behind her stake of them, otherwise, she'll immediately go for the new herbs for study.

This is a medieval rural village, you think these Constitutional Peasants can afford insurance!?


Nibiria basically works on trade. She needs commodities of her own that she can't just walk into town for. So, she wants their stuff, they need a doctor, and therefore fair trade occurs.
Lol

I just noticed the Villagers are "cautious" of Nibiria, despite her being top-billed as their only professional doctor. XD
