DF Spoilers / Re: Fun (for some) thought

Nice idea.
I don't think, he would craft anything for Lara. Except if it would be less expensive and more practical to make the rings by himself. So if he would make a ring for Lara, it would just be for tracking.
She is pretty capable of protecting herself. No need for extra powers.

For any other loved one he would make a ring he could track (he could do that anyway with any object he crafts himself, especially a wedding ring, as it is supposed to be connected to his own wedding ring) and I'd say for communication with another wizard or a force ring for a vanilla mortal.
If it is possible to do both, he would go for force and communication for vanilla mortals.

Doing anything like force or shielding would be ridiculous with another wizard or the Winter Lady IMHO, because they could do that themselves and some even better.

So for wizards he might also do a sort of amulett, to let them behind the wards of the castle.

So tracking is included anyway.

Vanilla: force and key to the castle
Wizard: communication and key to the castle
Vampire: just tracking

Though if you could do three things with the ring, I would put in communication for the vanilla, too, if it is possible to use without magic.

Edit @ Mira:
For protection from some person/monster, I don't think, it would be practical to craft something the other would wear. It would make more sense to craft something for himself i.e. any person he wants protected.

So, it depends on the living conditions. My light could only be seen through the door. To see my window one would have to go outside, around the house into the meadow to the back. Not much sense to do that in the dark. And I would have heard the frontdoor. It is a very small house. The front door is directly opposite the stairs leading up to the bedrooms. When my father worked the late shift, I would know when he was getting home. That wasn't so late, still in the timeframe being awake reading was allowed.
Also I could close the window shutters so almost no light was seen outside.

I only used flashlights a few times. There was the escape problem mentioned by Fcrate, and it wasn't really good light, and my parents asked about all the missing batteries. And there was the danger of falling asleep and being caught in the morning with a flashlight in your bed.
And it was too hot and bad air under the blanket.

Wow. 45L! Impressing. And a lot of water to carry.

Oh no, Dina, I hope it gets better tomorrow.
I'm still at home until the end of the week. Today and yesterday I read an old children's book to my little one. I did not remember it to be written in such a funny way. Or maybe I didn't understand the humour as a child.

My parents also were not fond of my closed door. I did it only so that no one would see the light, but argued that I did it, because I couldn't sleep, when my father was snoring so noisily? LOL. And that was no lie either.

My mother used to sneak up to my door at night (at least she tried to, but I heard her most of the times), when I was supposed to be asleep, to look through the keyhole if there was light and listen if there were turned pages. I used to read at night with my fingers on the light switch (I had a lamp directly beside my bed), so I could turn it off without noise as soon as I heard her moving. Her bed was creaking no matter how careful she tried to get up and the floor was creaking too.
My father was another matter. He didn't even try to be quiet. He was fast. I knew, my mother wouldn't come in, if she didn't see light or hear me, but my father would be there with a few fast steps and open the door at once. I was just lucky that he mostly didn't care, if I was asleep or not. In his opinion it was my own fault, if I was tired the next day. And he was right. LOL. I often suffered the consequences of my late reading.

I always have a book with me, when I go somewhere where there might be waiting involved. I read while cooking, I even read while playing some stupid games on my cell phone. I read while I'm having breakfast and if I was alone I would read during the other meals, too. I read in bed, in busses and trains, on the toilet (lol),...
At every opportunity.

@Dina: I'm quite sure I'd have been too lazy to follow through on anything.
LOL
Me too, I'm afraid. I was the kind who hid fantasy books in school books to pretend I was learning. To imagine what I would have done, if no teacher watched me...  :o

This is a time, I am once more glad, that I am no teacher.
I often admire my kid's teachers' patience. Watching from a distance can be funny though ;). Example: teacher tells kids: tomorrow is video conference at 8am. Please be there on time with your books.
Tomorrow is there: Kid#1 Oh sorry I'm late, nobody told me I had to be online.
Kid#2 I forgot my book. Wait I look for it.
Kid#2 disappears. Everybody has to wait for his return. He returns 5 min later with his cat, but no book.
Finally everybody is there at 8:15.
Teacher: OK, now we can begin. Open your books on page xyz.
Kid#3: Wait. Do we need the book? I didn't know.
Kid#4 notices that kid#2 got to show his cat and dissapears without a word to fetch his own pet.
Teacher tries to get everybody to pay attention.
Kid#3 cries: I can't find my book.
Kid#5: what book?

.... to be continued.
LOL

Dina, next time I hope you can make use of the new armor.  ;D
We have chocolate bunnies of different tastes of chocolate. It's just simple chocolate but from different manufactures, just chocolate taste. But no dark one.
Today the little one opened the door and found another nest outside. No name but I know it is from her godmother by the way she painted the bunnies on the card. More than enough chocolate to last several weeks. If it is too much we can still send some to Egypt. I heard there is a selfless guy who can help getting rid of it. ;)

DF Spoilers / Re: Solution for Thomas?
« on: April 05, 2021, 02:31:01 PM »
Again, if Justine hasn't survived, will Thomas want to live?  Then there is the child, is it even his?
What I've been asking myself: Can we be sure there even is a child? Is she really pregnant or was that a lie?
Does the real Justine even exist any more and if not, when exactly did she cease existing? If she is still there, does she truly love Thomas or is Nemesis just faking the love burns somehow?
I'm not really convinced, the pregnancy is real.


Maybe it's just me, but isn't there a blindingly obvious solution to Thomas' condition that Harry is in a unique position to be aware of?
Harry knows about the situation between Irwin Pounder and his white court fiancée Connie. Irwin survived the first encounter when Connie's hunger awoke, which previously was inevitably fatal to the victim, and continues to be fed upon without ill effect.
So why doesn't Harry call in River Shoulders and his kin to see if one or more of them can feed enough energy to Thomas to stabilize him without endangering anyone's life? The Forest People can handle the drain without serious risk, even with Thomas' hunger in the negative feedback loop it seems to be stuck in.

I thought that, too. But as stated by others before: how to ask? Who should do it? Danger of being exposed as endless food supply to other WCVs.
Is it even possible to still the Hunger anymore in any way?

I can totally see future WCVs hunting down Forest People (Bigfeet? ;)) to imprison them as food supply.

But maybe in the future, when Thomas will be on Demonreach for several years, Harry will tell River about it. Just telling him about the situation, not implying anything. And River Shoulders would offer on his own to take care of Thomas, if it even can be done.

But personally I think, Harry will find a way to separate the Hunger from his brother, leaving him human, probably even with some magic, an arc of redemption and a potential wielder of Amoraccius.

Just to make sure it is justified to stay inside. I did that too. Minus the rain and the arctis.
