I have passed through fire

Keyleth Tempest known as Kiki Twenty Three || Florist || Unaware Ambitious, Supportive, Kindhearted Overcritical, Insecure, Anxious I was born just a girl ; not a warrior. I was not meant for bloodstained hands.

[astrajaded]

Was that [ABIGAIL COWEN]? Oh no no, that was just [KEYLETH], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [CRITICAL ROLE]. They are [TWENTY-THREE] years old, use [SHE/HER], and [ARE NOT] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

** Spoilers ahead for C1 of Critical Role! **

For those who might not know Keyleth is a part of Vox Machina; a group of adventurers who banded together to save their world from annihilation of many kinds. The Briarwoods (A Vampire and his wife who killed her friend Percy’s family and assumed their position of Lord and Lady), the Chroma Conclave (5 dragons who banded together in an unlikely alliance to rule the continent), and finally Vecna (a would be god trying to ascend and destroy everything). Their were any others but those were the major players in her story.

As an Air Ashari, she grew up with a lot of responsibility; her mom left at an early age to complete a set of trials for the other Ashari in order to be their leader but never returned. So instead, she was given the task. As she made her way with her friends by her side, she managed to meet and beat each of the trials set before her. Though they were tough, she proved that she had what it took to be a leader. Where once stood an inexperienced young woman, now stood a woman with the knowledge and strength needed to do what was right and good for her people. She had passed through fire.

Tk chuckled softly at that and hummed. “At least you have an excuse as to why you are being a klutz today.” He teased. “I get that. I had this outfit in my closet and decided that I would be Freddie Mercury.” He chuckled. “Yeah, I didn’t expect so many people to actually be into Halloween, you know? I’m pretty excited though, to meet some new people.” He smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too.”

“Luckily I have a reason today. On other days I just get the people gawking at me as I stumble over my own feet.” Her face blushed slightly red with embarrassment before fading. “That’s not a bad costume for coming from a closet. I mean Halloween is always a big thing. At least around here. Meeting new people is why I decided to come. I’ve only been here about a month and was too nervous to really do much of anything.”

“It truly would. All the weirdos and freaks usually end up there, so I would hate for you to be surrounded by that.” He chuckled softly. “Not at all. Honestly, you’d probably improve it. I didn’t really try if I’m being honest.” Buck smiled.

“I think a lot of weirdos and freaks are just people who see life differently than you or me. I-I like to think I can hold my own. Maybe. Probably.” Keyleth rambles a bit, her nerves catching up to her. “I don’t think it’s bad, especially for not trying. I’ve seen a lot worse here today. Like a guy in a t-shirt tuxedo.”

“oh.” she still didn’t understand. someone being disappointed in her made her feel gross inside, it didn’t seem like a good thing. “my family is nice too. unless my dad’s telling me to talk less, my mom telling me to be smarter, or my brother’s trying to dump a bucket of bolts on my head.”

“Well those sound like awful things to happen to a person. Why would they say things like that? It doesn’t sounds very nice to me.” Keyleth’s face scrunched up. “Maybe all families are a little wrong, yeah? Their meant to support you even when things are bad.” Thoughts flash to sitting a table, a large group of people eating, poking fun at each other. “Sorry, got lost in thought there.”

[astrajaded]

caterinavalcntine​:

“they’d be disappointed just cause you’re a little clumsy?” cat asked, furrowing her brows in confusion. “that seems a little silly.”

“I mean not like in a bad way or anything. Just that it would be hard to be taken seriously if I’m tripping around everywhere.” She waved a hand with a smile. “They’re really nice people.” They were nice people, but in the month or so she’d been here sometimes she found herself looking more confused than anything.

Tk was impressed at not only the amount of people at the white house but how many actually dressed up. He was having such a fun time of guessing what their costumes were from or based on. “Oh, not at all. You didn’t ruin anything.” Tk assured the other, giving her a soft smile. “It’s alright. There are so many people here! I am sure if you didn’t run into me, I would have ran into you. I can be such a klutz sometimes too.” he admitted. “i’m tk. by the way.”

“These wings just seem to get in the way but without them my costume doesn’t make much sense.” Keyleth gave a soft shrug. “I haven’t been here long so I just went with an outfit I had in my closet from last year.” She took a small sip of her drink before continuing, “I’ve never been to a party with this many people. It’s a bit intimidating. I’m Keyleth! It’s lovely to meet you Tk.”

Buck normally was good with people freaking out, but that was also when he was uniform. The other took him by surprise but he quickly tried to recover after she had knocked into him. “Oh, it’s alright. No. It’s fine.” He assured her. “Really? Well, let’s try to keep you upright tonight. I don’t want you to end up in the hospital for Halloween.”

“That would be terrible wouldn’t it?” Keyleth let out a small sigh. “I can’t say it would have been the first time. Probably from a bit too much of my drink.” Though something in the back of her mind called back to parties with people she considered family. “I’m glad that I didn’t ruin your outfit.”

cat was enough of a klutz on her own, she couldn’t be upset with someone else for doing the same thing she may have done ten minutes ago. not a lot made cat mad, but to get mad over such a little thing seemed silly to her. “no, no. you’re fine, it’s all good. i don’t think there’s anything on me, but even if there is, it’s just liquid, it’ll dry eventually,” she said.

“Oh well that’s good at least. I’m kind of glad that I moved here away from my parents. I can almost feel their disappointed faces.” Keyleth laughed a little to herself. “They’ve done their best to try to make me less of a mess but even all those classes never changed me.”

“this masquerade ball do i not understand. i have no idea what halloween is or why it is celebrated” alexios frowned, shook his head. didn’t talk to anyone special, it was to anyone who was near by and wanted to answer “i did exactly what it said on the envelope i found in my mailbox. searched for the best clothes i could find” wasn’t much effort there, deimos, his old self was only on his mind when he read the written text on the invitation. he found similar clothes, it wasn’t exactly alike, and he knew that no one was aware of who or what he was.

Keyleth heard someone talking out to the air and figured the least she could do was reply so that he wasn’t speaking no one. “A masquerade ball is just a big party with fancy clothes or really whatever you want to wear. The most important part is wearing a mask. It makes it fun and secretive. Halloween on the other hand now mostly wearing costumes for fun and getting candy. Just a silly holiday.”

vex took a step forward to steady herself, losing some of her drink as well. she was about to go off on them when she recognized the voice. she almost teared up. (but held herself together.) “keyleth, darling, is that you?” she turned around to see the familiar redhead, smile growing. it faltered a little when she looked the woman over. with her slowed aging process it was hard to tell if she aged but she swore that keyleth seemed younger than she last remembered seeing her back home. she covered up her concern with a breathy laugh, “my dress is fine, that’s nothing to be concerned about. how are you?”

Realizing that she had also lost some of her drink, Keyleth turned to grab another but stopped in her tracks at the sound of her name. Why did it sound so familiar coming from a stranger? “I-I’m sorry? I mean yes? I’m Keyleth.” Her face scrunched up in pain and confusion. Why was she thinking of a bear while looking at this woman? “I’m okay- I’m good. You know living life. Moving to a new town.” She laughed nervously trying to place the woman in front of her. “I don’t mean to be rude but how do you know me? I’m sorry I can’t place a name to your face and I know that’s so totally rude of me because you know my name. There’s not a lot of Keyleth’s around, like anywhere.”

.｡.:*☆ Kili had not felt bad for long, thankfully. Actually, after his leg had stopped acting up, he had gotten quite hungry all of the sudden.

“I do not think I ever had pumpkin pie before?” He mued while munching loudly. “But, it is really good! You should totally give it a try, as long as there is still something left…” He was a dwarf, after all. Meanig he could eat pretty much, if he wanted to.

“Really? Pumpkin pie is one of my favorites.” Keyleth took a small sip of her drink with a smile. “It’s very popular around Thanksgiving. I guess it’s also just a popular fall dessert in general.” She laughed before continuing, “I’m sure they’ll bring out more. I once had a dream that I saw a bear in a pie eating contest. I must’ve just had pie on the brain. Maybe I should get some fore myself.”

“Okay, okay. All I ask is that you don’t judge me. This is, sort of, a last minute put together of a costume. I oddly had a mask already.. I don’t know why, but I won’t question it. So,” words were quick as she fumbled over them and smoothed out her top. “I’m a witch! Can’t you tell? If not, just lie to me and say that you do.”

“I would never judge you! Trust me, mine is a left over from last year.” She brushed out a small wrinkle in her dress and adjusted the wings on her back. Surprisingly they didn’t feel too heavy. “No I can tell! you’ve got the whole witchy vibe going on. It looks really good on you. Just fits somehow. Not that I think you’re a witch, I- I’m gonna stop talking now.”

I actually started this WIP several months ago but abandoned it cause I lost motivation to draw. I was going to make a reel joking about a WIP I was never going to finish when I realized how close I was to finishing it. And i am so happy i did!
