#hopefully it's entertaining for others

[quiveringdeer]

so I took a nap with my cat, but since I woke up I haven't been able to get the above observation outta my head. And dunno how to make it into a character post so figured I'd just share here. 

This started as a long-winded scene idea I was typing up in dms to @marleysfinest after they commented about reading about Reiner cursing in that silly incorrect quote post I made where Pock pushed him down the stairs--just hit real different. And I couldn't agree more.

But instead of becoming the filthy smut I was originally trying to get at, my weird as fuck brain created this spiral of I don't even know what! It's highly self indulgent self insert as Reader. (I mean isn't that what we all write these as?) Though I did try to curb some of my more ridiculous dialogue options I initially intended to use.

Anywho, before the fluff and silliness have some meta musings:

Definitely see Reiner growing up with his mom being the type that doesn't allow bad language in the house. So he's careful about not cussing. And he definitely does, more so in high school and college when he joins a few sports teams because teen boys and all that jazz. But he tries to even outside of that or just hanging with friends because Gabi's been born and he wants to be a good example and such. 

But so I was thinkin about dating Rei and never really noticing that he tends not to curse until finally hearing him curse for one of the first times. And because it's the number one cause for yelling expletives, it happens when you're having movie night at your place. There isn't a lamp near the couch --cause who can afford a lamp in THIS economy! (okay maybe you just moved in and things are still in boxes but you both have a standing date night that moving was not going to interrupt I dunno! I dunno why my brain insists on giving convoluted scenarios that really are unneeded 🙃)--

Reiner x Reader

Anywho, no lamp. So of course you do rock paper scissors to figure out who has to get up from the snuggly warm spots on the couch to go turn off the overhead light and he loses. And after turning off the lights, in a rush to get back to the warm snuggling on the couch, he stubbs his poor bare toes on a sturdy box. "Shit!"

No, like reeeally hard. "SHIT MOTHERFU-!" Perfect. So yes. He stubs his toe so hard it throws off his generally great balance and as he's trying not to land on anything important he falls to the floor with a big thud! "Fuck!" 

And the whole thing happens in a number of seconds. 

You've launched yourself over to the side of the couch closest to him now. Peering down in the dim light of the DVD Title Menu screen, "Rei, honey you good?" 

He's sitting up by this point, groaning and muttering as he squeezes his poor, traumatized toe. "Yeah. 'M good." Casting those warm amber eyes over to you, Reiner tries for a grin but manages more of a grimace as he starts to pick himself up. "Too eager to get back to cuddling you." 

Settling back into your previous spot on the couch you notice him not putting his assaulted foot fully on the floor. "Aww, sweet baby." 

His large body sinks gingerly onto the sofa beside you. He's not trying to sustain any more injuries just dropping himself heavy onto the cushions like he wants to. 

"You sure you're good? Don't think I've ever heard you swear like that before." 

Reiner dips his head, masking his face in shadow as he feels his cheeks heat. Not that you could see it in the minimal lighting anyway. "Sorry. Didn't mean to. But yeah. I'm okay." To prove his point he lifts up both his legs and wiggles his toes, back-lit by the TV screen. "All in working order." 

A tiny amused huff of air puffs past your lips at the endearing little gesture. "Okay." While patting around the fleece blanket with one hand for the remote, your other arm lifts to rest across his broad shoulders. Your fingers curve around the top of his head, sinking into the soft blond strands as you begin massaging gently. It's an unconscious action at this point. You've argued before that running your fingers through his hair feels just as nice to you as it does for him. 

Reiner's neck is tilted back, by the time you finally locate the remote beneath the folds of endless fleece. Eyes closed, completely content to just listen to the movie he's forgotten the title of already. 

"Also, you didn't have to apologize. For cursing." He turns his head just slightly to see you looking at him with a fond smile. "I don't mind. I honestly can't believe this is literally the first time I've ever heard you do it. And we've been dating for months." 

You settle the remote on your lap and keep your eyes on his face. There's a short silence as you watch Reiner's mouth twitch. His brows pull down slightly like he's sifting for the right words. 

"My mom always said it was a vulgar habit. So I grew up making sure I didn't slip up at home or in front of strangers." 

You laugh and have to quickly follow it with words when you notice Reiner's face go tense. "Sorry, was just laughing cause I'm happy to know after three months of dating you no longer see me as a stranger." 

Immediately Reiner starts to sit up straighter, eyes going wide as he angles his large body toward you. "That's not what I–" 

One of your fingers presses to his lips, silencing his rebuttal. The hand that'd been occupied in his hair now lays comfortably on his shoulder. "I know honey. Relax. I'm just teasing." 

Grin still present from your earlier laughter, you lean in for a slow, tender kiss that has Reiner melting further toward you. Your foreheads rest together as you part from his lips. You have to bit your bottom lip to seal in another delighted chuckle when your eyes open to see his, closed. Honey blond lashes fanned against his cheeks and pretty, wet lips still slightly puckered for more kisses. It never ceased to charm you how such a large, handsome and objectively intimidating man could simultaneously produce the most adorable mannerisms. 

"I hope you can feel comfortable enough to do it more in the future. If the urge strikes. Liiiike another lost battle against a box. Or anything really. Whatever. You don't have to hold any part of yourself back from me, Reiner. Okay?" 

His eyes had fluttered open as soon as you began to speak. His head nods a bit. A slight up and down motion you feel more than see, with your foreheads still touching. Reiner's eyes close again as he presses forward for another kiss. 

You pull back, increasing the distance between your faces as both your hands move to cup his cheeks. "I mean it." 

Finally his mouth quirks up in a smile, "I got it." 

"Good." Index fingers from both of your hands twiddle the short hairs just above his ears. "So you get that also means if the urge strikes to curse in a positive way?"

"Positive way?" Rei's brows knit together as he tilts his head just a smidge to the left. "Maybe I don't, got it." 

Another short burst of laughter leads your response, "Yeah. Positive way. Like overcome with such positive feelings the only words that can truuuly harness the euphoria are curses."

His head cants further at an angle before things click in place. "Oooh. Really?" 

"Mmmhm. Actually, if you wanna be more vocal in general, I'd like that. I love the sound of your moans, but the right words can really hit different." 

"Oh. I can try to talk more, if you like that." 

"Ideally, you'll like it too."

"Mhm." 

You can tell by that short response that he's getting caught up in his head. "Reiner?" Your palms squish in his cheeks gently. "Are you trying to think of what things you'd say?"

"Uh. Maybe. I feel like it'll be awkward. No one's ever asked me to talk more during sex. Didn't know it was a thing, to be honest."

Pulling your hands from his face you mute the TV. The DVD Title Menu music was becoming a bit overestimating for this conversation. With the repetitive sounds silenced you maneuvered your body to more comfortably talk with Rei. One leg tucked up between you both, other still situated over the front of the couch. Soft, fluffy blanket redistributed over both of your lower halves.

Reiner, resettled himself in a more comfy position too. Elbow resting against the back of the couch so he could lean his cheek on his knuckles. It wasn't uncommon for conversations to bloom up and distract you both from previously set plans. While it had been a bit unsettling at first, he really relished them now. He was unused to people asking questions and genuinely wanting to hear his thoughts. Okay, that wasn't entirely true. Bertholdt had always been an active listener. So was Pieck. But they'd known each other since elementary school and were close friends.  

Maybe that's what it was. He wasn't used to these kinds of conversations happening so frequently with a romantic partner. None of them had ever been so curious to ask and he'd never gotten around to offering up the information freely. Perhaps that was something he should bring up in his next therapy session. 

"Hmm, do you think it's awkward when I talk while we're having sex?" 

There's quiet confidence paired alongside genuine curiosity situated in your tone. And while it's been many years since he's been a virgin, this simple straightforward question has the tip of his ears flushing hot. 

Reiner forces himself to meet your gaze as he responds, "No. I just figured…I don't know. Just never thought about it."

"Not that anyone should use them as any kind of blueprint for real sex, but is there no dirty talk in the porn you watch? Like, the dudes. Do they not say anything?"

If he'd been eating or drinking, he would've certainly choked. Mark this down for another topic he's never discussed with a partner before. "Uh, no? Maybe? Like you said, I don't really watch to pick up tips or tricks." Okay. Maybe that wasn't fully the truth. Some videos had certainly sparked fantasies he's put into motion once or twice. 

"Okay, fair." Lifting up the blanket, you move the leg you've had extended over the front of the couch, across Reiner's lap. "Hmm…We'll have to find you more memorable porn, babe." 

You snort out a laugh and the sounds eases the tension of embarrassment coiling in his gut. His free arm slips beneath the blanket to hug your leg close to his body. The heat from his palm is distinct as he smooths his hand up and down the outward side of your leg. "You've got to be the first girl I've ever met that wants their boyfriend to watch more porn." 

"I'm most definitely not. You just haven't reached that stage of information security clearance with other women yet. And I'll have you know, I was implying you need to watch better porn, not necessarily, more." A giant grin stretches across your face after putting on a mockingly serious voice for that last sentence. Obviously, you're in a very playful mood tonight and the energy is infectious. 

"Ah. Forgive me, that's a very important difference right there."

"Damn right it is!" 

Reiner can't help but shake his head at the ridiculous exclamation even has laughter rumbles out through his lips.

this is what would happen if manuel ever came out to dante probably like 10 mins later

#he would mass text the whole school american shows style #no but let's get serious for a sec in tags #the show has a massive problem with outing throughout both seasons #but i am glad they kinda acknowledged that with simone telling mimmo it isn't right #and that he wanted to be the one to tell him so hopefully this will get touched on in the next episode #it is borderline horrific and irresponsible to show outing queer people as something not as serious idgaf if it's a rai show or whatever #not to mention how badly treated simone is by ofc ernesto and the other boys who beat him up but also dante #who is more concerned abt ernesto than his own son srsly wtf was that knee tap hug your child??? #ugh he is seriously one of my least favorite characters even if he is an entertaining character #rant = over #un professore #un professore 2 #dante balestra #simone balestra #manuel ferro #simone x manuel #simuel #un prof

i just wanna say that it was so refreshing to see Matt Stone get to talk about the rise of antisemitism rn. like yeah start the season off on that!!! it was angry! scathing! yet funny! Matt Stone deserved this episode, you can tell he's fed up and it's unequivocally against antisemitism and nazism, so hopefully the episode hits a lot of people well, ik how sometimes south park can be... interpreted very oddly by some viewers of the show, but I think it's angry yet sympathetic enough to say that people can choose to deny/leave behind violent and bigoted beliefs. It was a good season premiere and I am really excited to see what's next

#south park #matt stone #hopefully what is next isnt like. stunning and brave -_- #the show grows all the time so its really cool to see when it moves forward #in ways like this #the treatment of psychosis was actually really good? #i think sp does well with disabilites #like its def a strong suit #and theyve done a great job with cartman #but it was really great to see him choose to care about others #and try to quell the part of him he wants to improve #cartman forcing himself to take meds!!! #because that isnt him! #not who he wants to be!!! #yes!!! #he does not want to be a nazi!! #idk i think it could be an important one for viewers #and also ofc for matt stone #to get really sick and tired of antisemitism in entertainment

my only general predictions for jjk is that Yuuji will be able to target the different souls in Sukuna’s body to be able to reach Megumi’s suppressed soul and attack sukuna’s. Im actually interested in how this will all go down, especially with Higuruma in the mix, since these fights can’t be as simple as two overpowered characters with the loss of multiple special grade sorcerers. With the potential of a court trial domain or Yuuji’s knowledge of the soul, I imagine it’ll become more psychological or metaphysical in the fighting, with a lot of good insight into sukuna and/or yuuji, megumi, etc. As for Kenjaku, I have NO idea where their story is going (apart from Yuuta wanting to kill them), but i enjoy that part of the story being unpredictable—it fits their character

#jjk spoilers #I feel like it’s a given at this point that yuuji is planning something w Sukuna’s soul #since yukis book and literally everything else that points to shit happening w the soul and body #the methods and execution are unknown but yeah despite general fan consensus I feel like it’s obvious saving megumi IS in the mind of Yuuji #and there’s probably gonna be a lot of metaphors and whatnot about identity and the body and soul #hopefully sukuna and heian era flashbacks 🤕 #kenjaku on the other hand is simultaneously a detailed planner with a mission and an unpredictable entity who has to adapt to any situation #meeting takaba for example 😭 #I’ve said this many times but kenjakus appeal is not just them being a typical evil mastermind who controls the plot #we get to know them. and how they ARE despicable and cunning. but they’re also kinda a loser who runs into a lot of issues and trials/errors #it makes it feel realistic. and also just entertaining to watch #there’s probably a more clever way of describing who kenjaku is vs what they desire but I don’t have the brain for that lol #I’m just vaguely very fascinated by their character #kenjaku #sukuna #itadori yuuji #if making excessive rants in the notes was a competition I would destroy any competitor 😭 #i feel like there’s a lot of interesting stuff with kenjaku and sukuna that I never see people discuss 😭 but I’m also terrible at writing #so I can’t put anything to words

Reading Toma's 16 idol story is great because once again we get possessive Zool over their leader.

#sure i dint condone most of the relationships in media for irl people #but ill be entertained nevertheless by it in fiction...within reason #perhaps veering into insanity but hopefully not...idk...depravity? #anyway zool is like if three out of four did not really believe they could be a found fam but were so determined... #...and the other one was just like 'but we are a family? anway about my other fam -' #they are a riot and thank you toma 16 idols #idolish7 #fandom spamdom #note's notes

Hey there! Random anon time: I haven't seen you do a regular munday in a while, hope everything is okay!

Yeeeeee, I'm okay. I actually did some Munday stuff last week if that counts? Besides that, everything is okay! For the lack of Mundays?

I just, unfortunately, do not have the energy lately... sorry for my lack of rambles and interaction. I really do want to say and do more but I really can't bring myself to do much.

That's all 💖

#munday #Interacting is exhausting lately #hopfully I'll get energy back soon #I can only offer blog art/interaction #and maybe the occasional comment that makes no sense #answering asks is... pretty much all I've been doing this whole time? keeps me distracted #hopefully entertains other people then I go hide after till the next ask

[starrycat123-blog]

oksies hi starting a new thread of get to know you

haii I'm moth and also thea you may call me any nickname as well <3

I love musicals so so much (niche and popular!! basic-shaming is lame)

I am superhero obsessed (augh pied piper)

doctor who is my autism (yay river sonf!!!!)

good omens heoughhhhhhhh

super excited to meet you <3333333

Hi moth!! You can call me tetra. Don't worry that's not my real name or anything tho. I took it from the concept of tetrachords in music.

If we're generous about what we call superheroes, then maybe most of the things I like are superhero based. I mean obviously there's marvel and dc, but then there's stuff like dpxdc, sonic the hedgehog (idk if I've ever heard him called a superhero but he kinda is), if we count magical girls then like. Sailor moon and madoka magica

I haven't seen any episodes of good omens, but I read a really good fanfic of Crowley going to therapy a while back, and a couple funny ones with like yelp reviews of Aziraphale's bookstore. Plus I love the good omens analysis posts on here. I feel like maybe I half know some of what's happened in the show but also probably haven't scratched the surface. I'm kinda bad at watching TV shows, so there's a lot of stuff that I know from fandom but haven't seen. For another example of that, I've only watched one or two episodes of Sonic Prime. I reblog posts for it and it sounds good but idk. Just bad at it.

I'm a much more casual fan of musicals, I think for the same thing as above where I just struggle to sit and watch something on purpose. But I listen to the music from them sometimes, I've read transcripts online of a couple, and i swoon whenever I see a post analyzing the meaning of a musical song, especially when they go beyond lyrics and start going into the music theory in the tune. I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that myself but I love it so much

(when the singer changes their technique to enhance the meaning,, when this or that chord is a step outside the key to symbolize change or isolation or anything,,, using instruments as symbols for this or that character,,, tbh it doesn't have to be a musical even shout out to that youtube video by Scruffy on how fnaf's audio and sound effects make it scarier)

Lately I've been bouncing back and forth between Sonic and DPxDC. With hints of Slay The Princess in there bc I saw part of a playthrough of that awhile ago and loved the concept. I reblog madoka magica stuff whenever I see it (except magia record bc I know next to nothing about it) because that stuff makes me lose my mind. The love the pain the hope the despair!! Homura is probably like my ultimate blorbo but I love all the five girls they're so cool. I actually read the manga instead of watching the show though so I'm not as familiar with all the music. Plus I think the show had some extra scenes. Although it's a little confusing bc I think some of the extra scenes I see are magia record so idk.

Also I'm a fan of arts and crafts and will reblog that kind of thing once in a while, along with cute cat stuff.

Super excited to meet you too!

#sorry about the late response. got nervous and then put it off for awhile #hopefully it's a good one though? #it's unedited bc if i think stop and think harder/worry more now i'll never escape the think stage and i will post nothing #and i don't wanna do that #if there's anything you wanna know just ask #actually maybe i should think of some questions for you #oh like who's pied piper? i haven't heard of a superhero with that name just the child-stealing legend #unless you consider that guy a hero which like. i guess you could interpret it like that? teaching the value of not exploiting your workers #and i've read at least one story based on the legend where he takes the children somewhere nice #i feel like stealing children is not the ideal solution to that issue but it is a bit iconic if you think about it right #maybe he couldve taken some crops instead tho like thats the village income. it'd be more similar to money than kids. #i mean i guess in those days kids were also workers. and somewhat exploited generally. #so i guess i could see it as the guy getting exploited and then grabbing all the other exploited workers in town #i'm not really a history buff am i off base with this theory completely #i know kids used to have to work to help their families and that there are child labor laws for a reason #but also. not like there was a ton of free entertainment in the olden times. #i mean the parents almost definitely didnt pay kids money but chores aren't exploitation #maybe i should leave this up to interpretation #or just say it depends on situation and some kids probably were exploited while others weren't #hmm. this whole thing is probably just bs. i don't know what i'm talking about #oh well i hope you didn't mind it

[danielnelsen]

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’ #or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis? #but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically) #so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’ #and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

I feel bad for the bsd hate acc cause they are clearly not in the best state of mind..

#like 😭 #ignorance is key #they want attention in an unhealthy way #maybe if people ignore them they'll get tired eventually and learn to communicate in more productive ways #hopefully #also dazai anon if ur seeing this #communicating w other fans abt things you love rather than things you hate is infinitely more entertaining and fun #you should try it some time on a diff account #anyways happy new year to everyone #random #delete later

[baronessblixen]

I'm in such a bad mood and everything that doesn't piss me off makes me sad. So I've decided to go to bed at 10 p.m. on a Friday because I don't know what else to do and the fact that I'm going to bed this early also makes me sad (and angry).

#personal #send help what is this 😭 #i have an idea why i might be so sad and it's so dumb that i refuse to entertain it #but i'm hoping sleep will kill this mood #if anyone has other tips #happy to hear them #or read them #in the morning #when i'm hopefully in a better mood

Time to begin Creative Round 2: Electric Boogaloo :)

#see you all in like a year with more updates shdjfhsjkdfsf #no but it is funny how i was posting an unhinged amount about this gotdam fic back at the start #and then forgot to even say anything when i finished the first draft shfjsdfhsdjff #btw i don't know if i ever mentioned it here but the actual working title that all my documents are saved under is 4-3-3 #which is because it's an excellent song about football that's not actually about football (just like the fic. hopefully) #but also it's very entertaining because jack would never ever ever in his life touch a 4-3-3 he's too english for that #presenting 4-3-3: the fic in which you'll only ever see a 4-4-2! ✨ #anyways i know i say this at the start of every version. but i'm feeling quite happy with this #also it's just the second draft so like whatever #if there's still a schrodinger's football season going on by the end that can be a problem for third draft me :') #perce rambles #The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense

last festival update

The party didn't so much participate in activities but were helping around town.

More in the cut

After Dris (ranger) stakes the six vampires and the party comes back to Father Lucian, they get rewarded with a whistle that has 3 uses of Spirit Guardian, so that's neat.

They tell Father Lucian that Lady Lydia misses him and that they hope he visits her.

Father Lucian tells them it will be difficult, but he will try to visit.

With that, the party (mostly Eidys) goes and tells Lady Lydia the good news.

Eidys tells Lady Lydia the good news and that truly delights her, although Viktor is worried that his dad will overhear.

Eidys also says it will be difficult like Father Lucian said, but she can't really do much about it right now.

Lady Lydia tells her that the baron never really liked her brother or the church and thinks that her religious nature is foolish.

Viktor agrees that it's foolish but he's not here to upset his mother, he's just upset and believes that: If the gods are real/true, why haven't they helped them against Strahd?

Eidys tells him that the gods don't generally interfere with mortal affairs and they let mortals solve their own problems.

Viktor compares the gods to useless nobility

Eidys also tells him that the gods send portents and signs sometimes.

Viktor still believes it is unnecessary.

Lady Lydia is amused by his defiance and tells him if there were no gods there would be no magic. That seems to give him something to think about, even if it will not change his sour outlook.

Eidys overhears the baron talk about some trouble and excises herself from the conversation with Lady Lydia

The Baron is talking with Izek about some sightings of vampires and werewolves in town.

When Eidys offers her assistance it at first frightens the baron, there is a wild, crazed look in his eyes.

Izek is taking Eidys' measure, he's not sure that this woman can solve anything.

The baron lets her know what the trouble is, and Eidys tells him she will look into these sightings and she confidently tells him that she is sure she can solve this mystery as well.

Izek doesn't like this. I am sure she's on his shitlist now. He doesn't feel like he needs the help (oh honey, you got a big storm coming)

Eidys thinks about this some more and lets the baron know about the encounter they had at the coffin shop, though she shifts the blame a bit, making it sound as if a concerned citizen asked her and her companions to help dispatch some vampires at a shop. She tells the baron that one of her companions dispatched the vampires (credit where credit is due)

The baron is shocked, but glad that the vampires are dispatched. He asks where she found the vampires and that the person housing them would need to be punished/executed

Eidys doesn't want the coffin maker to suffer because of STRAHD, so she tells the baron that the citizen was only housing them because Mr. von Holtz ordered them to, and if there is anything to discuss it should be discussed with him.

The Baron orders Izek to get some guards and go find the young noble.

Once Izek leaves the Baron pays her 20gp and promises to pay her fifty more when the noble is brought to him, in addition to 12 platinum. (girl is getting rich)

Izek eventually finds the young noble and fighting breaks out, some citizens are fleeing the scene and are frightened

the rest of the party comes asking about what's going on and Eidys lets them know

Ireena asks if they should go help

Eidys says normally she would offer to help but on top of city business it's better not to get involved (because it's Strahd)

The commotion and shouting stops as a cloud of bats flies off into the night and Izek comes back very battered

The guards that were with him were all in a frenzy, telling the baron how Izek's attacks glanced off of the young noble.

The baron is very angry with Izek.

He pays the rest of the money to Eidys.

Eidys tells him she isn't sure about the werewolves in town, but she guesses it can also be traced to the young von Holtz.

The party lets the baron scold Izek and move away from all that

Eidys gives Dris 30gp and 6pp, which he reluctantly takes. She believes he also deserves a reward.

After that she goes to report to Lady Wachter, telling her that the party agrees to help her (though really they are aware she's playing them for fools - they instead will foil her machinations)

Lady Wachter is trying to corral her two grown-ass sons who keep acting like teenagers.

But either way, Lady Wachter is very pleased that the party is (to her mind, fools) willing to help her.

She scolds her sons to introduce themselves properly to Eidys

Both of them do, Nikolai is polite, while Karl is looking at Eidys unwholesomely. (I can hear Rahadin breathing in sharply through his nose)

After reporting to her, the party decides to depart the town.

However, they also start hearing about some "mermaids" in Lake Zarovich that they go investigate.

It turns out to be Sahuagin, that the party decides to take care of.

They also let the local guards know.

Dris manages to get 4 barrels of fish to lure out the creatures, but that is where we stopped.

#alek rambles #Eidys playing two nobles is so entertaining but I am scared for her tbh. #also once Strahd finds out she was the one who exposed his fake persona 💀 #next session we're still dealing with the 'mermaids' but hopefully we also do some traveling because we need to level up to go to dinner #dinner with the nasty nasty vampire #and the only other area we need to deal with rn is werewolf den #the rest is higher lvl or ties into exploring the castle and such #curse of strahd
