So I’m cutting that branch off the cherry tree.
Singing this will be my victory.
Then I, I see them coming after me.
And they’re following me across the sea.
And now they’re stinging my friends and my family.
And I, I don’t know why this is happening.

Yvonne, I wrote an intro to ours.

Flamebird, I will get to ours today if I can.
See it, Yvonne! *Pop goes the leeeeeeeg!*
Take your time, Phi. No rush

*smirks* Should get a reaction outta Felicity this time, muahahaaa! I'd say it'd still be worth resting the ankle, even though Fel will want to boss her way through the pain. Have to find her a walking stick or her armpit is really going to mess up my hair... *pout*
Vix, I've had a good think about how to tackle our thread and I'd say I've got a handle on it now. I'll have a post up in a while. *smiles*

Replied! Felicity has a much tougher frame than normal humans, being half neanderthals. Even so, she is going to try to push her body past its limits. :P She wouldn't use Yvonne as a walking stick! xD

I see your post, Yvonne! Will try to post soon! Hey, I have an idea for up ahead.
Once they get into Donnalaich, they would see a member of the Claw Caste bullying a member of the Scale Caste. Yvonne could probably try ignoring it, or it gets to her? Yvonne seems like she'd be the more cautious of the two. I'm not sure how she'd respond. But Fel gets all rage modey and full out attacks the claw guy, tidbits of her backstory seeping through the dialogue ("Do you know how things work around here-" "-Do you think a care?! Where I came from, things worked through treating my kind like dirt!") Right before Felicity attacks him, she gets a PTSD trigger and dissociative snap that lasts long enough to let him use his claws on her. Felicity's power gets activated once, so the change isn't visible to magic paranoid Yvonne. The combined intrusive memory and Berserk Rage trigger could set Felicity off for hours. It could be an opening into them learning each other's backstories. - And the thread would probably get lotsa setting and wildcard points for LOOOOOOOOORE.

When we get to Donnalaich Felicity is starving (even Yvonne has an appetite by this point) because the food we found on the way took off on prancing legs as soon as it spotted us, into the thick foliage. We beeline for the humble marketplace to trade for something to eat.
The Claw Caste Drakari operates a modest butchery. They hunt game in the jungle and in the basin, bringing the carcasses back to Donnalaich to trade. He has only employed Drakari (and only those of the Scale Caste for that matter) as he believes they make for better hunters compared to the Fae. He finds it easiest to run his business by using their perceived racial status against them, to keep his employees in line. "Who has the claws around here? Me! Not you. You hunt the beasts! I butcher them."
There's one major flaw with his business model. His Scale Caste employees are scared of him. While we are bartering with one such employee for meat (and Yvonne has him settled on a fairly low price) the Claw yells at the Scale to get a better deal or he'll take it out of his pay. The threat startles the Scale and he knocks the carcass off the bench onto the ground at our feet, dirtying it. This incompetence infuriates the Claw so he attacks the Scale and Felicity steps up to intervene.
Yvonne consoles the Scale, reassures him and pays him well anyway (as dirt washes off with a little water and when we cook it we'll just make it well done) while simultaneously plotting the Claw's downfall. If Felicity doesn't deal with the Claw right then and there, Yvonne will finish him off later in a more subtle and undetectable way. *smirk*
It could very well be how Felicity and Yvonne get to know each other on that hidden, underlying level, concerning their pasts. We both feel compelled to help the less fortunate, second-class citizenry, and there seems to be plenty of that going on in this world, haha.

Sounds awesome! I have about several paragraphs of my response done, still need to write more.
EDIT: Posted!

Sorry Yvonne I did a really short reply but I have a big writer's block at the moment.
Flamebird, I am mid writing an intro for you that should work.
