cr meme | july/august

[groundrules]

Hey guys! Can it be, a scheduled CR meme, on time two months in a row? A summer miracle.

Just a small heads up that some of our newbies will not be physically with the cast at sea, and will instead be working hard to secure entry for the incomers into the main Arc IV location, Serthica. But they'll be available on the network throughout!

Oh good god, man, I would love to play around with this parasite stuff!! He probably won't notice it for a long time but if you're cool with slow burning up to that reveal, he'd pick up on it eventually.

Oh, absolutely! And Astarion's keeping quiet about it, because it's a baby mindflayer, and if it grows up, it kills him and then has a very good chance of killing a lot more. ...But he also wants to keep it alive, because it's given him the ability to walk in sunlight and resist the horribly abusive mental controls his vampire master put on him!

So his goal is to learn how to control it, which... That's pretty unlikely, but he's aiming for it anyway

This boy's a mess, let me tell you

That sounds like a horrible plan. Finn supports him, of course. He's also a mess. But hopefully he can help maybe probably!!

[good_taste]

Oh it's a terrible plan, and so far canonically nobody's been able to control it--not a friend of the world's most powerful wizard, not an arch-druid, not a green hag who can twist people's bodies and fates at her whim, not even a rogue mindflayer! The best the last of them could do is provide a trinket that could shield one person against the little wiggler.

Astarion's seen none of these at his canon point, and canon won't tell us whether his goal is at all possible for maybe another year or so. but I am excited to make attempts anyway!
