@rowyn Magnus and Umbral have worked well together before of course, but they seem especially well coordinated now. I wonder if they grew closer on their trip, or if it being Cassie who’s in danger just was the perfect motivator?
@Satsuma Magnus: "...it's both, really. Every time I do something with Umbral, it gets harder to resent them the way I used to. Like during the trip, I could see how determined they were to protect the Underlands and also to make sure that all of us stayed safe while doing it. They saved me once, and Gregor too. And now with Cassie missing...well, I still want her to be mine, but I want her to be safe more. A lot more. And I know Umbral does, too."
@Satsuma @rowyn
Team bonding under high stress is serious social glue.
@kelkyag @Satsuma Umbral: "so much stress 💀"
@rowyn
<relieved>
<cheers very, very quietly for clarity of mind, and for material and emotional support>
@kelkyag Umbral: *briefly manages to stop clinging pitifully to Magnus*
@rowyn
You snuggle your emotional support Magnus as much as you need to. <fusses>
@kelkyag Umbral: "It's fine. I can manage."
Umbral: *...clings to Magnus some more*

@rowyn
Yay working!
I hope Honor got some of the ongoing protection effect in the tonic, too.

Umbral deliberately taking a less scary form is promising. Not sure how much to worry about the coughing and sputtering and dropping the bottle.

@kelkyag Honor: "I hope it has a protection effect too but I have no idea how or why that would work, so...🤞"
@rowyn
Hypothesis: prevention is one of Cassie's priorities. She doesn't want to fix the same thing for the same person twice if it can be prevented. Accidental-not-careless injuries, not much to do in the way of prevention. Illnesses caused by dust inhalation? Discussion of circumstances and encouragement toward avoidance or mitigation. Contagious diseases? Tracking down the source and addressing that too. Ongoing mind magic? Needs to be blocked, not just cleared away momentarily.
@kelkyag She really did hate repeat customers, in that respect. 😂
@rowyn
That marks her as a true healer, rather than someone practicing healing arts for money. 🍎

@rowyn
<appreciates Miss Smoke assisting>

I hope she and Honor can have a less scary conversation and figure out how to cooperate on both finding Cassie and taking care of patients in the meanwhile.

@kelkyag
Miss Smoke: *so smol! Not even as long as a human arm! could not possibly be scary*
Honor and Seeker: *so much side-eye*
@rowyn the differences between honor and cassie’s magics (or at least what they find important enough to write down) is fascinating
@Satsuma @rowyn
Indeed!
They're at rather different places in their careers as witches, so the things they can do casually or need to focus on carefully differ.
Also, given how much of witchcraft is intention -- the reagents have power and aspects, but the aspects are very broad -- even tiny differences in attitude & perspective matter.
To complicate the current case, Honor is following one of Cassie's recipes without having read all of her journals to understand her take on potion design.

@kelkyag @Satsuma Ooh I meant to respond to Satsuma's message days ago but spaced it

The Apothecaria rules suggest that you're playing a new witch who just learned witchcraft from the old witch's notes. I totally ignored this when I started the game.

But when I started writing Honor, I really wanted to contrast the two characters' experience level and styles. I'm so happy that's come through and is interesting to readers. 💖

@kelkyag @rowyn Yeah Honor is clearly more of a novice, even if Cassie was also new to some things (like having a familiar) at her introduction also. But also I get the impression that their fundamental approaches are a bit different even once you account for the skill differential
@Satsuma @kelkyag Yes! Cassie was already set in her ways and only paid attention to what Witch Maeve said about reagents in the High Rannoc area. Where Honor learned everything from Seeker and from Maeve's notes.
@rowyn I for one look forward to a more Umbralish Umbral!
I'm really impressed they had the clarity of mind to ask for a portion of clarity.
Hand in there, Witch Honor, it will get better soon.
@Annmie Umbral: "Only because Cassie mentioned clarity potions repeatedly in her journal. Including 'if you think taking one is ridiculous and you're sure it's unnecessary, you should definitely take one.' And I realized mine must have with off by now."
@rowyn @Annmie
... which means Cassie's has probably worn off, too. Oh dear.
@kelkyag @Annmie Umbral: "Yes. Right about when she went missing."

@rowyn
Possibly more helpful than Miss Smoke's last appearance, but that last bit seems needlessly obscure and possibly threatening.

If Honor did something to deserve this nonsense, it was a doozie. I rather doubt that he did.

@rowyn
Well, this'd be a great opportunity for Honor and Umbral and Magnus to go over the alert doll's notes, with bonus points if anyone thought to mention that the doll looks like Cassie with some bonus features from Blackpaw, but a certain party is being rude, pushy, and unhelpful instead ...
@kelkyag Umbral: *snarls in 'hasn't-found-Cassie-yet'*
@rowyn
<growls back in "you are screwing this up even more than you did meeting the last new witch">
@kelkyag Umbral: "It doesn't matter how much people hate me so long as I FIND HER"
Umbral: "...and if I don't find her, nothing matters"

@rowyn
People who don't hate you are a lot more likely to help you find Cassie.

And as you just pointed out, you are the Dark Ruler of the Underlands, and as such you accepted responsibilities that matter a great deal to a great many people, no matter Cassie's status. Also, many of those people also like Cassie and are trying to help find her. Stop stomping around scaring people and put on your diplomat hat!

@kelkyag Umbral: "If I *could* don't you think I *would*?"
@rowyn
That you think you can't is very worrying.
@kelkyag Umbral: "Yes. EXACTLY."
@rowyn
That suggests that the clear mind potion has worn off and someone is messing with your head?
@kelkyag Umbral: "Yes. Guess what the only way I can get a potion to fix it is."
@rowyn
Working with the witch who is RIGHT HERE?
@rowyn Miss Rat is not only cute and patient, but also helpful! ❤️
@Annmie Honor: "Easily my favorite patient so far. 💜"
@rowyn oh thats an interesting lead!
@rowyn
