* “Games? I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re speaking about.”
His voice was airy as he spoke, waving away her words with a flick of his hand. It took a lot to frighten Artagan – in fact it was almost impossible – perhaps that was arrogant, but such was his nature. He wasn’t afraid of this creature. Why should he be? He wasn’t intending to fight with her, despite her words, or her anger. It wasn’t going to happen. Not if he could help it anyway.
“Just as I have no quarrel with you, I simply wish to lend a hand. You don’t seem the type to go anywhere without some goal in mind. Tell me your goal.” He gave her a charming smile – which he doubted would win her over, but it was charming none the less. “I’m sure we can work something out.”
After a brief moment the Archfey seemed to think better of his words, and dropped the friendly sort of tone. “Actually I’m simply curious as to why you’re here. However that’s not to say I can’t still offer some aid.”
Did this creature think her some sort of fool? Work something out, he said, as if making deals with fey wasn’t something she knew to be a fool’s errand. Though not as learned of the Feywild as she was in the nature of life and death, that did not mean she did not have the bare minimum, at least. A long lifespan meant plenty of time to read.. and she still took the time to do so, even as her life steadily dwindled. This curse was making a mockery of her already, she would not allow this being to do the same--
And yet, he seemed.. earnest, at least, in his curiosity. It was a rare thing to run in to, these days. She’d snort and continue walking, grimacing against a flare-up of pain that streaked its way through the red and black marks on her body.
“Why I’m here... refuge, I suppose.” She’d gotten away from them with her life.. mostly intact. Now was the time to recover. “And knowledge. Tell me, as a being of his realm, how much sway do the Gods have here?” There we no harm in at least prodding his mind for answers, was there?
@stcyclive - x
The Feywild was a miserable place, and this piece of it just as miserable than the last. Clawing and clinging to life.. or un-life.. wasn’t meant to expose her to these.. pointless trials.
“I have no time for your games, fey,” hissed the ‘woman’ as she stared around the Archfey. She was beyond fear. Death clung to her like a well-loved shawl, like a desperate lover. “You will see how ‘idle’ my threats truly are if you stand in my way.”
The Feywild was a prime location for what she sought. Though she had managed to cling to life with her necrotic prowess - her slewn body mending itself together back in the murk of her lair - she still lacked the proper method to purge her curse. Her old plan.. well, it would not work, now. If anyone had the knowledge to aid her now, it’d be those that dwelled deep within the Feywild. She had no time to allow this trickster to play with her.
ohoho.... ohohohohoho....

❝ I know we have a PLAN, and that you’re meant to be a part of it… ❞
She trails off, brow furrowing as she regards the creature in front of her. Dragon, dwarf, human, evil, sick, whatever it was at any given moment, she would never feel at ease in the presence of such a being. She exhales a long breath before speaking again. Her usual light demeanor has darkened, though her voice remains near gentle despite the words it shares.
❝ But I do not trust you. And if you try to hurt any of my family, you WILL regret it. ❞
“I see now why they call you the heart of the group.” The raspy, reedy voice of Raishan hisses out as she lays she claws crossed before her. She peers back at the little gnome, amusement clear on her features. Oh, certainly she knows what the little healer is capable of doing.. and it isn’t particularly threatening. At least not alone. The dragon lowers her head to as close to eye-level as she can get to the gnome, snorting up a puff of breath, acrid tinge belaying the acidic smoke she could breathe at any moment. “Carrying that burden must be so hard on you, knowing who you run with. Not the most gentle of souls, are they? Or the most careful. But you’re careful. And wise not to trust. But in this moment, we are allies.” “Don’t worry, little gnome. I don’t plan to strike first. So watch your friends.”
vvindex:
He blinks at her but doesn’t try and fight that hurtful word, he’s hardly in the position to try and argue that he is very capable of hurting people, has already done it with spectacular skill and nearly killed Percy, did help kill him but it ended up getting fixed. Vox Machina fixing his mistake, no surprise, but he doesn’t want to share that information with anyone. Has kept it hidden from everyone that didn’t already know. She’s strange, not someone he would expect to be here. To be a part of the team then again he can’t really figure out the fact that they seem to allow anyone and everyone in here.
“What? No, I’m a guard, we train in hand to hand combat and I didn’t do my best today”
It was the lie he had prepared in case anyone stopped him, the truth was slightly less acceptable. Young guard wanders into the woods for the purpose of picking a fight with bandits or bears or anything he can find didn’t have an good ring to it, it’s a form of self punishment and it had taken him nearly an entire night and day to find a something to fight so he’d even missed training for a day, Jarret was going to have his head.
“It happens.”
Kynan doesn’t like this woman, doesn’t want to keep talking to her but he stays where he is, squaring his shoulders and watching her with careful eyes but refusing to look weak any longer.
“I see.”
The drawl is slow and purposeful. Not necessarily unkind but, no, of course she doesn’t believe him. That look in his eye speaks of lies.. a look of someone hurt but still unused to letting falsehoods slip by their lips. The kind of person who people come to pity for wearing such sad, obvious looks of loss and of being lost. So many things could have hurt him... a few ideas popped into her head immediately, but it was so rude to assume, wasn’t it?
“Well, let’s find you a decent healer then, shall we?” Her smile curved up her features. It felt a bit patronizing, like a mother looking after a foolish child. “It won’t do to leave you like this. Surely the clergy has a talented healer.”
Raishan turns and steps down the alley, in the opposite direction of the barracks. She pauses just outside the exit onto the main street, hands coing to fold inside of the sleeves of her robes as she waits, brow quirked in silent expectation.
ooc;; cant believe someone drew art of my cr rarepair. its not even shippy but theyre next to each other and that works for me.

“i have the perfect day planned out.”
“i made it myself.”
“i made it myself, which explains why it’s a little burnt.”
“i tried making it myself, but i figured food poisoning doesn’t make for a very good valentine’s day present.”
“has anyone ever told you that you have a funny idea of romantic?”
“where are we going to put a bear that big?”
“did i just hear a bark?”
“when you said you were planning something big, i didn’t expect it to be this big…”
“i told you you didn’t have to do anything!”
“this might be the happiest day of my life.”
“how did you know my favorite chocolate flavor?”
“help me find a vase for these flowers?”
“this holiday seems like the best opportunity to ask you out.”
“i know a place that sells hot chocolate with heart-shaped froth.”
“i want to make you this happy for the rest of your life.”
“is today a good day to say i think i love you?”
“i think i’m in love with you.”
“i love you.”
“i love you so much. you know that, right?”
“…that’s for me?”
“…are those flowers?”
“…i didn’t get you anything, though.”
“you didn’t have to.”
“you alone are enough.”

“we’ve had this planned for weeks.”
“this was important to me. you knew that.”
“how could you – and today, of all days?”
“you can keep the fucking flowers.”
“well, you’re only about…two hours late.”
“there’s dinner in the microwave. just fucking reheat it for yourself.”
“i thought you’d forgotten about tonight.”
“is getting piss drunk your idea of romance?”
“if you think chocolates are going to make me feel any better, you better think again and think fast.”
“was one night too much to ask for?”
“i warned you that i wasn’t not looking for anything serious.”
“i never asked for you to give me the world. all i’ve wanted is you.”
“you know, i don’t know why i’ve stayed this long.”
“i don’t know why i keep expecting one year to be any different.”
“you forgot. i can’t believe you forgot.”
“am i not a priority for you?”
“are we not a priority to you?”
“i waited for you.”
“i really thought you would show up this time.”
“i should have known not to get my hopes up.”
“can we at least pretend to be happy tonight?”
“can we at least pretend to be fucking normal tonight?”
“can you at least pretend you give a damn about me tonight?”
“i never promised you anything.” “i know it’s a shit day to bring this up, but…i don’t think it’s working out anymore.”
“please don’t start this. not tonight.”
“i’m sorry. i’m so fucking sorry.”
“i’m sorry. what else do you want me to say?”
“i forgot and i’m sorry. what else do you want me to say?”
“i won’t apologize for something that isn’t my fault.”
“i didn’t know this meant that much to you.”
“i don’t know why you’re acting like this.”
“it’s just a stupid holiday.”
critical role moodboards: raishan
“Why won’t you stay down and die with dignity?”
' have you ever considered the idea that maybe, this world doesn’t revolve around you & your problems? '
“I’ve considered it. Not a fan.”
The dragon hissed her laughter, claws folded in front of her as she stared down at the druid. Why the little thing had sought her out alone was still a mystery to her, but there was the fire in her eyes that meant it was time for her to preach.
“How ironic a suggestion, coming from the one who tries, and fails, to carry the entire world's burdens on her shoulders. Maybe you should focus on your own problems, for once? Before they tear you and your little family apart. Just a suggestion.”
Rasishan slapped her tail against the floor, sending up dust motes and scattering the papers on the table nearby with the force of the wind. One clawed hand came up to rest under her chin, yellowed eyes peering into Keyleth’s. She didn’t know what to think of this druid. Logically, she should hate her.. but she was just so amusing. So interesting a person, a being of conflicts.
“It’s more realistic to just focus on your own problems. Trust me.”
vvindex:
Her venom took him by surprise, most of the people around here were kind and willing to forgive a young man rushing around especially when he was dressed as a guard. Not that he liked to use that power, not that any of them did, but there was so much to be done and the people in charge of protecting the citizens while Vox Machina were busy tended to be rushing around a lot they ran from place to place which occasionally resulted in a few run-ins with people, typically they were brushed off with a nod and a wave, the people here also had enough to deal with, one wayward bump wasn’t enough to cause a scene in this city, not after everything they’d been through.
But he turned to face her, blinking at her in confusion as his mouth opened slightly, all the armor he’d managed to build up since arriving here cracking at her gaze.
“I’m…I’m sorry, my lady, I, uh, I just didn’t see you there.”
Kynan bowed his head slightly, standing before her with an apologetic look in his eyes but unsure what else to say.
“Did I hurt you?”
“Hardly.”
A small smirk played on the woman’s lips now as she looked this boy up and down. What a pathetic scrape of a boy this was. He looked familiar, somehow - as if he had popped up before, dogging at the heels of someone more important. He had the dress of a guard, but the mannerisms of someone scarred, someone with regrets and some deep fear. He seemed stunned by her already, and the smirk was produced by her amusement at how easy it was. Poor, pathetic child.
“Who hurt you, child?”
An open-ended question, as open or as shut as he wanted it to be. A good opener to gauge how sealed off this boy’s heart was. How easy would it be to pry things out of him? Would he be a challenge, or merely a distraction? Each interaction was a game to her, one she had gotten very good at by now.
Sharp eyes pierced through him, watching for every tell.

@obliteranis / requested the raven queen.
she’s angry. the fates are being tampered with. life and death are being tampered with. “ raishan. you beast. ” her voice is still delicate but there is an anger inside of it so deep it’s hard to go unnoticed. in this place she feels things that are still moving – still breathing – still being – when they were meant to pass on so long ago. “ this place is an abomination and you are playing with a fire that will leave you burned unlike any other. ”
A beat of silence. A turn of the head, looking back to take in the source of the voice.
“The Raven Queen. I’m getting personal visits, now? Consider me flattered.”
Raishan’s voice dripped with purposefully-revealed sarcasm, the drawl of her words decidedly measured for effect. There was a thud as a book dropped to the ground, stirring up dust motes and enticing the undead in the cages to wail. She casually shushes them, reaching out to take another book fro m a nearby shelf and opening it flat on the podium before her.
“I’m so tired of fire, you know. It's always been a waste of my time. I’m simply taking things into my own hands, now. If you’re so upset about it, feel free to take it up with Melora. She’s the one who tampered with my fate.”
“I think you’re in over your head.”
“Few things are over my head, demon.”
Raishan sneers, peering down at the little demon that had been dogging her. It was a fiend, a vengeance demon, to be exact. How appropriate, for this thing to cling to her when she had clung to life herself out of spite. The dragon sat curled with her tail wrapped around it, her smile mangled by the fact that much of her face was skeletal now, with some flesh sloughing off.
“I’ve learned that the hard way. Just look at me. And look at you. We’ve both failed - but we haven’t lost. Not yet. Oooh, no. Not yet.”
The dragon rose, pacing forward, expression contorting for a moment into one of pure agony. A laugh echoed from her lips, each snicker sending out a puff of green-black mist out of her mouth and out of a hole where some exposed ribcage was visible. She was an amalgamation, now. Not quite a dracolich, but not quite alive, she was living hatred, tethered by magic. A broken creature, clinging to her intellect even as she fell into fits of madness like the mad Cinder King before her. She cackled as she stepped across the interior of the dimly lit room, back to the bookcases.
“They stole so many of my books, the curs, but we’ll get them. For my books. And my life.”
