This brief collection will follow a Dr. Duscor Merlo and his misadventures in the Paperverse.  Can he keep afloat in these vexxing, trying times?

A leatherbound journal, dyed a brick color. The edges are worn, and the original pages are a weathered yellow. Added pages, interspersed throughout, contrast it in a bright white. Slips of paper, bookmarks, notes and other odd scraps interject the pages. Keeping place for… (well who knows really? Who knows but him?)

Empty Guild badge slots line the inside cover. An array of different shapes: triangles, hexagons and diamonds. A perfect fit, creating a beautiful… albeit empty pattern.

It’s the journal of an earlier Thorsteinsson, left to decay in the family library no one visited. Well, never visited to do any reading, at least. Deplorable.

There were many journals such as this, but none could quite catch Quinn’s interest the same way. Studying the pages, the plans within. When he could as a child, and when he could after his… ‘accident’ and now his to keep, in ‘death’. 

‘Dead’ to a family that wouldn’t miss it, appreciate what was within. A shame he couldn’t have taken more with him… but this journal in particular had always been his favorite. 

No great loss. If he really wanted he could probably steal more. The ‘Thorsteinsson family’ none the wiser.

Now… Now he uses it to record his thoughts. Future plans. Goals. To better understand people and their desires, after having lived isolated for so long. 

To record his findings. In magic, in engineering. In combining the two. What works, and better yet, why something doesn’t-

Ganymede's talisman is a preserved jawbone from their first hunt, preserved and turned into a necklace. It not only symbolizes a hunting dragon's strength, but the patience and care needed to keep the territory they guard in balance. The necklace worn over the heart reminds the hunter that they too will die and feed another one day. Ganymede's talisman in particular represents their first huge victory after months of struggle that their siblings didn't experience. They wear it as a medal so that all may see that the half-blind fledgling is just as good a hunter as any dragon.

Kalei's talisman is a plastic medal, faded gold paint chipped away in places, scratched through wear and tear. A ribbon is threaded through it, where more things can be tied onto, but the blue that the ribbon is supposed to be has long gone as well. It is her medal, a symbol of her achievements and her scars.
