The Third 1st day of Dros, 250 AD

Split Decisions 2 Tink 2 Handle

by Tink Coppertail

A few hours into crafting Maki came by with a preposition. He had a box of what he called get-it-all as an anti-sleep stimulant. (ye olde adderall) He said that he had some about three days ago and hadn't slept since. Apparently the downswing is much like the sleep of 200. I don't remember it since it was my birthyear. Stories go that one of our clan got into a spit with an ice drake and caused a blizzard in late spring. We weren't prepared for the cold snap and weren't moved into the caves as usual. All us Kobolds fell into hibernation for like a month. Well we talked some more of business and I handed off Kniana's and Lily's gold. That nullifies the sign I left of her cart, but the dates can be fuzzy should something happen... The conversation of the get-it-all did remind me of the vial from The Traveler. Maki seemed very concerned about it, but I figured since we had a bit of downtime, I could get some use outta it. I was hoping to keep a tiny amount left so that we could try and synthase more later. The only problem was how the sludge worked.
I drank all but a shot's worth and it was a flavorless oatmeal consistency. The room started spinning for me for a second as I handed off the last shots worth to Maki. He looked a bit panicked as I fell backward. My limbs kinda felt limp as I was looking at myself from above myself. My only real thought was "Hm- that doesn't look right." as he/I tripped over and I felt it. I came back to to stare at myself connected to my, our ankles. It was too much of a struggle and I had a feeling I knew the spell used so I finished the vial to "disconnect" much to Maki's worry. I also had a strange fog in my mind and couldn't think quite straight. Well he got a bit spooked and left me/us to our devices. I wasn't sure of the duration, but I said it would last until one of us dies. I don't particularly like the implications but if he truly is a copy of me it should work out for the better. The only real downside I notice was that I was a finger and a half shorter on each hand loosing a pinky and half a pointer. They where in the vial however.... I just figured I could heal myself later.
With him here I decided to re-tool one of my items to help combat this brain fog and get us on our way. We reimbued Crafter's Fortune and went to work on the current list of items, Skrel's Boots of Stepping and Striding, and Eval's Headband of Wisdom +4. After awhile of crafting my clone started to hiccup quite a bit and about an hour later I caught it. a bit after that I felt kinda bleh again and glanced at the vial only to see the saline solution that had my fingers turned slightly pink. I don't like the implications of what is happening, but I will try to ride it out as long as I can. You don't get competent help you don't have to profit share with everyday.
 
The others came by in the afternoon to get going to Svendio. Lily was wearing some ridiculous jesters outfit. Now she cant sneak up so well with that getup ha! I knew that we couldn't use magics near there and I asked about using the tent. Well Maki said it was a bad idea, so I decided to stay. I want to get as much as I can done while I have myself to count on. Although... during the conversation they asked if the sword spirit could take over the other me for some reason. That led me to find out that he/I had one of the sword tattoos on the opposite arm of me. The other me also cursed a Dragonborn saying that they are wannabees and that Kobolds are superior for some reason. That makes me a bit nervous as Dragonborn are ascended Kobolds... The same arm with that had the sword tattoo also had my Ring of Sustenance. He/I refused to give it up just as I would have. He/I even said that "we could make another." I agreed with me but only after we get these other orders done of which he/I agreed. I guess they were concerned with my appearance and wouldn't leave me be until I ate and drank something. Whatever so long as me and I can get back to work. I even suggested that Tel could scribble me something that I could use to craft myselves a runic circle later to meet up. In the end though, Maki stayed behind while the others went. Now time for myselves to get work done. I just hope I live through it.
