If you're new here, then this is a mission post. You can find available missions at rpmanager. You are welcome to subscribe or track the journal, but this is not required, as updates will be posted on this journal. For those of you who don't know about missions, the links below should help you out. I suggest you start with the Mission FAQ first!

The log for the mission will go up tomorrow. There will be a new unique mission announced later on, but not another one for this month, since there will be a draft in a few weeks.

Yo. I've been fairly slow lately, but I'll put the mission tags at top priority to mitigate that.

Fenimore worked at a battlefield triage tent (Wikipedia searching suggests this means determining the severity of injuries to know how to split up medical supplies/doctor attention, but in the game it seemed to also function as a rest area), so she'll be available if the doctors/healers (or anyone, really) need a gopher of sorts. But otherwise she can keep herself busy with background stuff, like food preparation, clothing repair, and the like. Generally, she can be expected to handle herself and follow directions, though she gets testy under stress.

She's also experienced in the art of keeping Grune occasionally on task and mostly out of trouble, but she won't be able to manage this all the time. Her lapses will be left up to the rest of you, so head up to Grune's comment for that sort of thing. She can be called upon to corral her if necessary.

If things go pear-shaped for whatever reason, like due to the Shift Hunters, she has learned some self-defence, but she feels like "not looking like a threat" is her best defence. So she mightn't bring her sword, she's likely to hide her combat fans, and she probably won't display that she can defend herself at all unless she gets into a tight corner. As such, this mightn't even come up, but it might be worth noting.

Also in the "may not come up unless things go pear shaped" category, Fenimore can breathe underwater and swim better than the average human even in a dress, though she will be against volunteering this information outside of something vague like "I'm a good swimmer." (She might tell Minato if the chips are down and Grune is aware of it, but outside of a passing familiarity with some of them she doesn't know most of them to trust them.) Humans in her world tend to react badly to her nonhuman status, to put it mildly. But if things go pear-shaped in a floody sort of way, she can probably be counted on fairly well.

...Congrats if you read all that and apologies for not being succinct.

/uses Fenimore as a gopher

/gophers more effectively now that she's had some of the combat medicine classes...though she probably has trouble remembering the terms from it OH WELL ACADEMICS AREN'T HER STRENGTH

/...skimmed all that due to limited time

Grune will protect you, Fenimore! :D Although if magic goes offline, she'll be reduced to whacking things with her urn. Yep.

[blessingone]

Grune, if magic goes offline and you still try to fight, Fenimore will bodily shove you out of the combat zone, which might look hilarious given their size difference. Non-magic Grune falls under the people she would actually prefer defend than be dfended by.

[lostinmyway]

XD It would be pretty funny, because Grune would be all "But Fenimore, I can help!" all the way.
