#PennedPossibilities 1014 — If it came down to it, would your SC choose to protect the MC in a dangerous situation?

Klein would reverently stay out of Medb's way and coup-de-grâce anyone that managed to not die on contact from the wrath of his goddess. (Medb is working on talking him down from the whole worshiping her as a deity. it just makes her a tab anxious to be venerated by someone who's brother she killed during a hunger frenzy) That is to say he would absolutely have her covered if she somehow were not in a position to rectify the situation.

I forgot how toilsome writing log-book style journal entries can be.

Dry semi-detached but observational.

My anchor is more in the emotional &/or introspecting thoughts.

This chapter/logbook is a firsthand account but second hand action. It should, /should/, be noticeable to the reader as an echo of the prior chapters events as it's accounting what was going on "in reality" while Medb's consciousness is gaoled by the symbiote.

I think I am obsessing because unlike my favourite trick of swinging the reader into momentary confusion with an unnoted slide into a dream sequence, I'm doing the opposite and adding clarity rather than subtracting it.

NTS, when finished, ask N + J to read the chaper and be brutal.

#PennedPossibilities 824 — What superstitions pertaining to the dead exist in-universe for your WIP?

One by one each took a drink served by Medb who would say “Go with strength to carry on,” to which they replied “With every breath, they are remembered," before shifting back into a wolf and leaving to trek home.
————————————————

Medb's people drink the ashes of their dead so the spirits of the dead know they are still a part of the pack, cherished and loved. It is believed that if someone dies and some of their ashes aren't consumed, that the spirit has a harder time moving on because they don't have a living person carrying them inside too guide them along the way.
—————————————————

It's a background thing, likely a topic that will show up in #ShapeshiftHeir , but Medb carries an anxiety around from the loss of her universe. There's a part of her frozen from the #trauma of literally all of her people except her being wiped out. She doesn't have any means of mourning because there are no bodies to cremate and make the /broth/ to drink so all the spirits (if they still exist somewhere) will know they are remembered. She's lost everything, and can't even #grieve properly
