Job Arseoth narrowed his eyes at lady Silon’Dez’Monah, “”
She hems and haws, clearly deciding how much she can tell you.

Job complied with her request. He felt her eyes boring into his back for a long time, the urge to scratch at the itch rising.

Job let his shirt drop back into place, “”

Job bowed and left the dragon’s lair as quietly as he had entered. He had much to think on, and not a great amount of time to do all of the thinking he needed. The temple of Kuko was only a few hallways and a large courtyard away.
As Job walked he mulled over the implications of being one of possibly two dragonmarked individuals in the world. It was certainly a secret worth keeping, if only for the attention that it would call to himself… and one that was impossible to keep if he wished to seek help on the matter. He would need to find an expert in Runes at least, preferably one with experience modifying existing runes, working with magic of draconic origin, and with the marking of Runes onto flesh. Individually the four requirements were not that hard to come by. Combine them together and the list of possible candidates became very short indeed.
Job was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he almost collided with a priestess of Kuko.
“My apologies priestess...”
“Valfina. The fault is mine, for I should not have been hustling so. You appear troubled. Is there something I can help you with?”
“Perhaps, perhaps not. I’ve been having some memory problems recently.”
“Oh dear. Recalling, forgetting, or living with?”

“Possible tampering, actually, as I know I couldn't forget this particular memory, and yet it is not all there. It’s a Sorcerer thing.”
“Hmm, then I doubt any Sister of Kuko could help you… but there is one who might be able to help, if you could find her: the half-orc called Mul the Silent. Last I heard of her was some five years ago, headed home to her native Glacierheart.”
“That’s all the way down near the Jeweled Republics, isn't it?”
“Indeed. I wish you well in your travels.”
Job bowed out of the priestess’ way and headed for the exit of the temple district. It was clear that he would need to travel, and travel far. To the Jeweled Republics, and from there to either the SiDiaboilo Tower, residence of Lady SiDiabolo, or through the Westmarch Republic to Glacierheart in search of Mul the Silent.
But this time he might be traveling alone into unfamiliar and possibly hostile territory. It might be prudent to look for a traveling companion before he departed.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
