[daggering]

[ bless your heart

but yeah he sticks out like a sore thumb here. watching the blob...de blob, he just kind of lets that happen and reaches up to pull his hood down. ]

Was wondering where this would lead to. Is this your place, then...?

[saturations]

Yep. [they tilt to the side a little, watching him.]

Or where I stay, mostly, anyway. Who are you again? [a pause.] You're like Riff, for sure.

[daggering]

[ he gives them a little sup nod though because they haven't talked much yet!! we are changing that ] Vax'ildan. [ ... ] Vax.

[ but like also ] What does that mean? [ for sure???? what do your bass eyes see ]

[saturations]

Oh, you've got the, uh - the...

[another pause, and they seem to squint, before waving their hand in front of them. a wash of pixelated blue comes off their hand, like the way dye comes off when one swishes their hand through water.]

That. The Marine! They've got a lot of it. [...] Nice to meet you, boss.

[daggering]

[ oh. ]

Yeah. 'm blue, or whatever. [ dabadee dabadii ] Gettin' real good at making water.

[ ... ]

...Nice to meet you too, Bass. You're... yellow?

[saturations]

Yeah! Or Sunrise. But that's technically yellow.

Anyway, you should be proud of being able to make water, that's really useful. Not like you guys have a lot of it right now.

[daggering]

[ snort ]

Yeah. Or soap. Starting to smell like Grog's armpits in that mansion.

[saturations]

Gross, dude.

[they sound like they think it's funny, though.]

Is Grog someone here? Or just a friend?

[daggering]

You spend any time in there yet? You'll see.

[ disgusting. well, maybe. he's also probably a little stinky its just eau de vox machina but he has been taking water showers at least. or summoning soap. i don't know i have to think about this. ]

Someone from home. Big fuckoff goliath. Dumb as a sack of rocks. [ (affectionate) ] Old friend. You still learning everyone's names, then, Bass?

[saturations]

[well, they don't really have a nose, so it's fine, vax can be stinky if he wants.]

Sorta. Some people introduced themselves and I can remember their names better, but there's a lot of you, y'know? But I can remember Vax'ildude easy.

[daggering]

[ i'm ]

Vax'ildude? [ why does bass sound like the sun tree

no ] Better than Vaccine, I guess. Whatever the fuck that is.

[saturations]

[well, they are sunrise.]

It's a type of medicine! You get them so you don't get sick. [...] That doesn't seem like a you sort of thing, though. No offense.

[daggering]

[ im crying ]

Not getting sick?

[saturations]

Yeah! You're kindaaa...

[they trail off.] You just don't seem like the kind of dude to avoid damage.

[daggering]

[




read for filth ]

.... I don't get sick often.

[ but he is not going to deny that, either ]

[saturations]

But you don't deny the damage!

[:D]

I'll give you the sick part though.

[daggering]

[ listen. ]

You take a lot of damage, you deal a lot of damage, it is what it is.

What about you, do you do any fighting or anything like that?

[saturations]

[shaking their head.]

Not really. Steel takes care of most of the monster stuff. I don't think I'm very good at it - but I am pretty okay at using color to defend myself if I gotta.

[daggering]

Yeah, they're pretty good at that, huh.

[ helping clear off those weird monsters with steel was fun. ] They said you like to talk. You the one befriending all the [ clowns ] things?

[saturations]

[they seem tickled by that.]

Sure, I get along with everybody pretty well, I think. It's more fun this way, y'know? Never a dull moment.

[daggering]

That actually why you can't remember people's names?

[ teasing! ]

[saturations]

[they stick out a staticky tongue, kind of like the way a gastly would. it's real long. tblththhttt.]

There's a lot of you! And some of you have weird names.

[daggering]

[ lol

he wipes his face in case he ended up with any yellow blob ghastly spit on his face though it's mostly just performative. ]

Vax'ildan is a normal name. [ is it ] Least it's not fuckoff long.

[ like SOME people ]

[saturations]

[they make another face -- and then pause, and sort of like. you know the stance dogs do when they're ready to play, where they like jump and sort of bow? like this. that's what bass does, except their hands are out in front of them.]

Wait, wait! I've got it. Percival von Lichtenstein de Koalaski Frederico Rollout the Third!

[no]

[daggering]

[ why is this so cute


anyway he just stares at bass for a second and then cracks up. ] Yeah - yeah, that's it! Fuck. You can call him Percy.
