i just kinda sorta think that now rose noble and ruby sunday have met…

and rose knows where ruby lives…

post-EoD, they go on nights out together and just have the best time.

Ruby will punch anyone to deadname/misgender Rose.

Rose introduces Ruby to Donna and Sylvia and the doctor is just chilling on the deckchair in the backyard and she’s just like “…come meet my uncle”

fourteen steps up to introduce himself like “hello, i’m the doctor!” and ruby is just like-

WHAT

Headcanon/theory that the haze probably does not actually look like the void, that’s just the rawest wound to display to the commander right now.

The Dragonwatch Krewe Recordings

Presenting - FINALLY - in full, the edited for the Dragonwatch Krewe Gorrik recordings.

Qirri's having such a bad time...

Recording 1

Gorrik: Testing… Gorrik, recording on behalf of Friends' Detective Agency- a-and on behalf of the Dragonwatch Krewe, of course. On-site at the Brotherhood's Jade excavation. Gorrik: After the recent demon run-in, our efforts to curtail Cantha's energy crisis are… postponed. Me and my team of experts— Qirri: "Your" team, huh? Gorrik: Our teams are strategizing a plan to remove said demon from its power source: a ley line housed within the mine— Yao: You're recording? Can I get some airtime? Yao: Engineering Grandmaster Yao here. Reporting from the trenches of an illicit jade mining mega-operation— Gorrik: Yao, there are case notes, not a holo-news broadcast! (clears throat) I'll continue logging updates as they occur. Gorrik out. Yao: Just trying to lighten the mood—

Recording 2

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Two. Today I ran further analysis on the unknown element present in the haze samples provided from the commander and the krewe chief’s excursion. Gorrik: Though still indeterminate, I suspect it's byproduct of the demon, likely agitated by its confined ley-line proximity. Gorrik: For now, I've set up a makeshift lab for experimentation here at the mine. It's humble, but rather quaint, if I do say… even if the krewe chief does disagree with my chosen location. Gorrik: Though in all honesty, she is also very hesitant on this plan at all. I do understand, of course I do; she and the commander have been friends for a very long time! Gorrik: Anyway. I’ve assured her we’ll leave the final decision to the commander, and as for the lab, it will serve our needs for the time being. Just need to keep out a few nosy kappa trespassers… hopefully that will assuage her unease. Gorrik: As usual, I'll continue logging my research as it proves pertinent. Gorrik out.

Recording 3

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Three. An unexpected visitor dropped by: Chul-Moo! I thought maybe he'd come to shut down my lab… Yao: He was over here? Yeah… he does hate things built without his approval… Qirri: He was a lot nicer than our first impression led me to think. Gorrik: But he seemed to take interest in our work. Particularly the previously mentioned haze samples. Gorrik: Of course, I was thrilled to recount our current hypotheses! But he seemed more concerned about potential health effects. Which made Qirri very uneasy. Gorrik: And that, in turn, made Chul-Moo strangely more anxious. Yao: Shouldn’t you be too? After all, the chief’s not been— Qirri: We don't- we don't need to talk about that. Gorrik: Anyway. I'll continue updates once confidentiality can be maintained. Qirri: Gorrik, I'm your krewe chief! Yao: And I’m a part of this krewe too, you know— Gorrik: Gorrik out!

Recording 4

Gorrik: While I usually record notes as soon as possible, the events that transpired recently… required a moment to process… Gorrik: It began when one of those kappa pests got into my equipment! I was just trying to get some… minor work done while Rama took the chief to a doctor in Seitung, but it started wreaking senseless havoc! In its fit, it smashed a haze sample. Gorrik: The sample was small. However, inhaling its contents in an enclosed area made me lightheaded. Gorrik: I knew it was unlikely to cause damage. Still, I went to recuperate on a cot at the medical tent. Gorrik: Once rested, I felt well enough to return to work. But when I opened my eyes, what I saw made my nausea return full force— Gorrik: Oh, Qirri, I—! And Detective! Rama, I mean— Qirri: We just got back. Is everything okay? Detective Rama: Or are we interrupting? Gorrik: No, no! Just recording some research notes. I-I can get back to them later—

Recording 5

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Five. Qirri and Rama sat with me for a long time to check in after my kappa incident. Which I suppose still needs explanation… Gorrik: Picking up where I left off: when I opened my eyes, I saw something I don't think I'll ever be able to forget… Gorrik: Blish was sitting across from me. Not in his golem body, but exactly how I remembered him from before his illness took over. Gorrik: He stared at me in a menacing way he never had before. Then his body…disintegrated… into a mass of writhing beetles… Gorrik: They swarmed me. I can still feel the prickle of their claws across my skin. At the point I I might suffocate… Gorrik: They vanished. Gorrik: Next thing I remember, I was clinging tightly to Yao, sobbing. They comforted me until I could pull myself together. Gorrik: Once I found the words, I told them everything. They stayed with me for a long time, then they returned later with some tea. Gorrik: I'm still shaken up and rather embarrassed about what happened. But I'm so grateful Yao was there to help me through it. Gorrik: Qirri’s insisting I go see Taimi soon, and I plan to tell her everything that happened. She plans to go with me… said she has some things she hasn’t been entirely honest about either…

Recording 6

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Six. We paid Taimi and Blish a much-needed visit and told them everything. She has a way of making both of us feel better. Blish was horrified, insisting he'd never hurt me like that. Though what Qirri had to say is worrying, to say the least. I think I speak for the whole krewe when I say we're just glad she finally told us everything. Gorrik: I do wish she would reconsider Taimi’s offer to stay in Seitung with her and Blish, however. I’m growing increasingly concerned about her health. Gorrik: R-regardless—! We also spoke about the implications. We think the unknown element I've been studying is causing these effects. Gorrik: What's most troubling is that this incident confirms our earlier hypothesis: these hallucinations aren't random. Gorrik: Based on the commander's experiences— and now my own and Qirri’s full vision as well— the delusions appear to target prime emotional vulnerabilities. Gorrik: The "how" of it all remains a mystery. But it does explain the demon's manipulation of one's senses. Gorrik: Now that we’re back, I plan to tell Rama and Yao about this development. Though it seems they stopped by in our absence… Gorrik: They installed a few kappa-repellent gadgets outside the lab and left a kind note with a plate of tea cookies. Gorrik: Picturing those two working together makes me smile. They seem on better terms lately. I hope the trend continues.

Recording 7

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Seven. Today was…unusual. Rama visited. That wasn't unusual. Thought his demeanor was rather…tender? Gorrik: Of course, he’s always been very paternal towards Qirri… though not so much towards me. Gorrik: However! Yao and Chul-Moo also visited. Yao did most of the talking—odd, as Chul-Moo's keen on speaking for himself. Gorrik: Yao explained that Chul-Moo experienced hallucinations. I asked him to elaborate: frequency, locations, etc. Gorrik: Rama made to leave, perhaps out of politeness, but Chul-Moo told him to stay. He said its better we're all made aware. Gorrik: He didn't go into much detail—his visions were of a deceased friend. And they only occurred in the lower mines. Gorrik: Rama pressed him about the other crew members, but Chul-Moo claimed that none had voiced similar experiences. Gorrik: He originally chalked any behavioral discrepancies up to stress, but he realized too late that it may be something more. Gorrik: Chul-Moo's accounts seems credible, if not a bit slow. And they're another data point supporting the krewe’s current theory.

Recording 8

Gorrik: Something unbelievable just happened! Chul-Moo visited again. Once certain we were alone - he didn’t even want the krewe chief in here with us - he began frantically rambling. Qirri: I was gone for like five minutes to get water, Gorrik, what in the name of the Eternal Alchemy— Gorrik: He admitted that he'd left out details about his hallucinations because Yao was present. Gorrik: Early on, Chul-Moo had worked on the forefront of the excavation. Alone one night, he heard someone run up behind him… Gorrik: Before he knew it, he was facedown. He could hear the attacker hissing while bashing his head into the ground. Gorrik: Nearly unconscious, Chul-Moo felt the attacker start chewing his leg. He suspects it may have been trying to eat him. Gorrik: With the strength he had left, he cast off the attacker. He sat up to see one of his captains, blood staining her mouth. Qirri: By the pinion gears—! Gorrik: Their struggle continued, edging closer to a mine shaft. To keep them from falling, Chul-Moo tried to ram her backward. Gorrik: But in that moment, she lunged. Instead of hitting him, she flew over his back, free-falling to the bottom of the mine. Gorrik: He was so shocked, he couldn't process it. His crew assumed the captain quit, as she'd recently been acting agitated. Gorrik: That's when his delusions began. He made me swear not to tell Yao, who'd known the captain… or Rama, who’d want to investigate. O-or Qirri because he didn’t want to upset her. But I had to tell someone… Qirri: We’re going to tell Garrus is what we’re going to do—

Recording 9

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Nine. I have a confession: despite Chul-Moo swearing me to secrecy, I couldn't keep this story to just myself and the krewe chief. Gorrik: So we paid Taimi and Blish another visit and I… spilled everything to them as well. They were shocked to say the least, but they were glad I confided in them. Gorrik: They agreed with Qirri, and echoed Chul-Moo's request to not tell Yao. There's no use upsetting them. I couldn't bring myself to do so anyway. Gorrik: Still, I feel better getting it off my chest. And as Blish pointed out: if I was stressed, imagine how Chul-Moo feels. Gorrik: Between the guilt and the…cruelty inherent in these delusions, it puts his behavior into perspective. Gorrik: While we were there, Taimi showed me something exciting: a prototype for a device that she, Blish, Joon, and Yao have been working on with Qirri during her visits to Seitung! Gorrik: And here I thought she was just traveling to see that new doctor of hers. Gorrik: It's designed to control the stress responses the demon seems to feast on, then channel that power back at it! Gorrik: It's based on the research findings Qirri and I have been working on. Gorrik: Qirri is still incredibly hesitant, but I think she recognizes that this is likely our best chance to win this thing. Gorrik: And that said, paired with Yao and Joon's jade tech knowledge, Blish's technical knowledge, and Taimi and Qirri's… everything knowledge… Gorrik: We just might have a solution to our demon problem!

Recording 10

Gorrik: Case Notes, Entry Ten! This is it! We've done it! Thank the Alchemy! Gorrik: Taimi asked me to stop by as soon as possible. When I arrived, she, Blish, Qirri, Yao, and Joon were putting the final touches on… Gorrik: Their newest invention! It boasts several features, not to mention a sleek design. Gorrik: I can't wait 'til the commander sees! Though, Qirri was extremely quick to remind me that I need to treat this with sensitivity… Gorrik: The commander's role in this plan will likely be the toughest and most psychologically draining. Gorrik: I still think she should have stayed in Seitung. I’m very worried about her health. Joon and I even talked, and I tried to leave without her! Unfortunately, she’s a surprisingly light sleeper. And she was very very displeased with my attempt to run off. Gorrik: I’m— I’m sure it’ll be fine, though! And we have a much bigger issue at hand, besides! Gorrik: I remain on pins and needles for the invention's debut. Demon, here we come! Gorrik out.
