Quarantined Characters (Part Two)







                                              
             This is the second in the series of Quarantined Characters, if you wanted to read the first installment go here


Greetings Adventurers!

 This is the second installment of Quarantined Characters, I'm hoping to hear from you (the readers) what short stories you would like to see about these characters while they quarantined. Because one aspect of this series is going to be short stories about the characters in quarantine.

So, let's stay home, wash our hands and see what the characters are doing:

                                         
                                                                               Oak 




              Oak is used to being away from civilization with her fellow hunters, and the goddess                                Artemis herself.  So she would be distanced enough and secluded from humans.                               
                 Suppose something happens and the hunters have to take refuge in a cave, because
                a wild beast (or a natural disaster) drove them there and they need to regroup and make a                    new plan. In that case, Oak would continue her lessons from Artemis on weaponry,                              wildlife, and other things, while she and the other hunters were trapped.
                     Artemis would also help her carve arrows from the
                    supplies they had around and help her prepare mentally for the next hunt.


                                                            Riona "Fire" & Celtiere 



                The fairies are used to being away from the human world for a while,
               so they would usually be very good at keeping social distance from humans.

 However, keeping a distance from other fay is unusal. They are comfortable with their own kind, so when the need to social distance happened the fay were not at first willing to stay away from each other.

            For Riona and Celtiere social distancing isn't a problem. They would exchange stories around the magical fire. Riona would share her stories of battles she fought and Celtiere would tell stories he made up on the spot. He might also make some up about his parents, who he never knew.

                                                 
               

                                                                   Crystal 


                 Crystal is a Neriad, and is a huntress of Artemis. While they are sheltering in the cave,
                she would help heal other hunters who may have been injured in battle.
                 She would continue her studies with Artemis in nature healing.
           She would learn how to use herbs and other natural things she could find around the cave they are hiding in.

              Crystal would also help Oak create more arrows and sharpen swords, 
               so they are prepared for the next hunt.



                                                   Detective Inspector Time 

Time would be bored out of his mind, with no new cases to solve with everyone stuck inside. 
He would be having trouble figuring out what to do, and everything in his life would feel like it was out of place. He would try and fail to write something he liked, even though he isn't much of a writer. Instead, he would end up using the torn pieces of paper to make paper balls and throw them against the wall or throw his daggers out of boredom. He would miss the exciting part of being a detective. He would be reminded by Annabelle or Marigold, both of which would probably would have found a creative way to be a detective during this time, that he should probably use the resources he has to be a detective. 

So with the resources he has he would... 
1. Write letters to people asking if any suspicious activity has happened. 
2. Make a dart board out of unused love letters (this isn't really part of solving cases, but it is at least worth mentioning). 
3. Imagine chasing down a criminal, and do target practice. (He will assure you that it will indeed be useful in the future). 
4. If any suspicious activity has happened at all, he will investigate from the comforts of home, and continue to interrogate people through letters. 

                                                                        Juniper 

             Juniper has a hawk, whom she befriended, who helps her during the hunt.
                  She has found a way for there be communication with the other
                 dryads by having her hawk send messages back and forth. She wants to make sure the                        threat which they are dealing with is either gone or that they are able to hunt it down and  kill it, if it is a monster.
       
                  While in communication with the other dryads, she would talk to some of her friends
                  who love talking to her about how things  have been going with her.  And she would tell                   them that she has  continued her lessons with the goddess, Artemis, during this time. And                       that she is learning to be one with nature, instead of thinking she is above it
                  like mankind wants her to think.



                                                                   Iris 
       

Supposing Iris wasn't able to leave the temple because something was going on, 
she would still continue her trainings with the other priestesses. 

If the threat required them to battle something, they would be among the first defenders  
to fight, after all they had years of training to act as defenders for mortals in physical form from the goddess. The priestesses are not only people who people turn to for religious reasons, but also 
for reasons of protection, because they had been the shield maidens of the goddess and helped defend the gods in one of their past incarnations. 


Assuming Iris didn't need to be called to battle, she would be in prayer in the temple. 
 She would ask the goddess for strength and protection. She would also practice meditation, hoping to get a message from the gods and goddesses through it.
