Shit.

vox machina + allies.

Apparently there are things far worse than dragons.

vex'ahlia.

What do you remember?

[Vax]

Happy Birthday, my dearest brother.

[muffled sounds of movement over the mic] Hello?

Vax? Keyleth? Hellooooooooo? [a huff of frustration]

Grog! Did you pull a card from the deck without telling me?!

That's it then, I guess. One more time home and back. We've all officially kicked the bucket at least once.

I'm curious if there's a way to open up a bakery here.

And when the hell Pike is going to show up.

So. I've been thinking about it, and I finally decided that instead of just spending my times killing time and wandering, I should get an actual job. It'll be a fun, new experience because I've never done steady work before.

But you're all looking at the newest local radio DJ. If I remember correctly, my role was described as 'morning shock jock'. I love the lingo around here.

Who wants to play poker?

I miss gambling.

I... well, I suppose I wanted an adventure. I'm not too sure what sort of adventure this is but...

Is anyone else here? Jumbo? Little Elf Girl? Little Elf Boy? Antlers? Percy?

What the- Kaylie! FUCK. KAYLIE! [ a string of slightly unintelligible cursing ] This shit was supposed to stop happening.

[ a sudden and intense crash of thunder followed by the sound of doors falling off hinges ] Oh. SHIT. They were already unlocked. Well... That's one door solidly defeated, at least. [ slight humourless laugh, muttering ] God, inside jokes are a lot less fun without people around who appreciate them.

Kaylie? If you can hear me in whatever weird random room you're stuck in, the doors are unlocked! I repeated, the doors are unlocked, you do not have to attack them.

Right.

So there's a little man I woke up with, and we've both got rings like we're married. He says it's happening to everyone and the ring doesn't come off, even when you grease it up with like a ton of mayonnaise and try to pull hard.

Anyway, someone said you're supposed to share all your stuff, so I'm getting stuff out of the bag, but there's only one jug. Should I break it and give him half?

And is this is a magic thing, and if it is, did anyone ask Gilmore or Allura? Because that's what we always have to do when it's magic, and if you already did it then I don't have to go listen to it. I thought it was just a thing that happened, but then he said magic. Or maybe he just meant being married.

Oh. So back here again. That makes sense.

It doesn't really but nothing makes sense. We were going to go to Marquet to give someone a hand. But sure. Back here instead. Why not.

My brain hurts. I think I broke it. Did you know they still let us drink for free in Whitestone? Or maybe Vex just talked them into free drinks. It's a little fuzzy.

What the shit?

[Vox Machina]

You all still around? Is.. is Scanlan here? I feel like I could sleep a thousand years.

Also, no more dying, all right? No one.

So I talk to it? And it understands me?

(Unintelligible background NPC answer)

Right. I understood all of that.

Hello? You have a lot of voices, I was just wondering. You're not like, thirsty for anything? Blood. For example. Or, I dunno, souls or something? And you don't want to escape or possess or murder. 'snot like the murder is totally a dealbreaker, but I want to know these things to start with.

Gern, I lied. I do have your broom. I stole it.

I'm only half sorry.

This whole candy thing, is amazing.

Someone chided me about it not being good for you, but I completely ignored them. The food here is absolutely 200 percent better than the stuff at home.

Trinket is sad though that all of the fish I get for him, comes from the store and not out of the river.

Oh dear.

I still can't believe it was little more than a day. It still feels as though it should have been longer.

( various filters cut to spare the f-list )

Uh. Vanessa? Murtin? ...Aldor? ...anyone? I didn't... I swear, I didn't accidentally do a teleportation spell. Those take a lot of effort. Not just something you can panic out. Right? Right?

[Vox Machina]

I've been listening to some music from this realm, that someone introduced me to and I'm a little disturbed. Some of these songs sound exactly like Scanlan's, but with different words. Do you think Scanlan's been here before?

[ooc: Vox Machina refers to anyone that she knows from Critical Role. Surprise, you're all members now because she doesn't feel like writing everyone's name down]

Does anyone know where I can find a decent clearing? I need somewhere open enough for me to practice my archery but I know going beyond the barrier isn't safe. I'm not foolish enough to go out there unless I have to so if anyone knows somewhere inside the barrier that might be suitable I'd be grateful.
