OUT OF THE LIGHT

[seeraven]

. find glory in the shadows .

. CARRD , PLAYLIST , PINTEREST

independent roleplay blog for vax'ildan vessar of critical role's vox machina . portrayal inspiration will be pulled heavily from the tv show , the legend of vox machina , the first campaign , kith and kin , and the vox machina origins comics . note : i am still making my way through the first campaign and am pretty early on , though , i am cool with spoilers .

. please read below for my rules until i get my carrd up !

I . i am mutuals only! Please be patient with me IC and OOC . that means writing-wise, IMs, discord, asks, etc. I am not and will not always be in the mood for chatting or even writing. I appreciate the understanding on this!

II . there is a lot of content i won't interact with for my own comfort / triggers / etc . please don't be offended if i don't follow back, as the reason could be something as simple as i don't jive with the series you write from !

III . i will be primarily writing in the first campaign of cr and in the legends of vox machina timeline ! i will be updating my progress through the campaigns in my tags here !

IV . in regards to shipping, i am multi-ship and open to being ship - exclusive . i like to be friends with my ship partners and put a lot of work and development into my ships , and really wanna dig into what love means for vax in different aspects of his life ( romantic or otherwise ) . that being said, if you're interested in a genuine romantic ship with vax, he can be a tough nut to crack, so it'll definitely take some time and development there! i portray him as bisexual.

V . there WILL be triggering content on this blog ! i will tag everything that I can think to tag , but if you'd like something specific tagged , please just shoot me a message ! i'm not here to make anyone uncomfortable .

VI . ultimately i'm here to hang out and have fun and not take things too seriously . thanks for reading , and i hope we can get to interacting soon !

VII . also just an add-on rule, i don't really do affiliates ! i have mains and honestly don't really have a specific number cap for duplicates of a main anymore haha. mains to me are just portrayals/writers i've plotted with more extensively and will, at times, have priority due to my writing muse gravitating in the direction of our development. that being said, my current mains are leif's vex'ahlia & shadowheart and prince's keyleth & tifa lockhart.

“Let us show them how it's done.” (from scanlan!)

〝    do  lead  the  way  ,  scanman  .〝   a  confident  smirk  is  born  from  his  lips  ,  already  surmising  their  future  success  in  a  fight  they  are  ,  indeed  ,  about  to  pick  .  he  steadies  his  blades  ,  his  grip  firm  around  the  hilts  ,  and  the  fire  of  determination  burns  beneath  the  burnt  bronze  of  his  eyes  .  quietly  ,  a  swift  snicker  passes  through  his  visible  teeth  ,  and  he  spins  his  dagger  in  his  right  hand  as  his  feet  begin  to  trace  the  shadows  of  his  trusted  friend  .

the  trickle  of  revenge  inks  itself  into  his  bloodstream  ,  his  brain  clouded  with  it  ,  as  his  determination strikes to  serve  justice  in  the  name  of  his  own  sake  ,  and  his  friends' , of course  .  they'll  gather  once  more  what  has  been  stolen  from  them  .  and  then  some  .〝    and  don't  hold  back  .  we'll  teach  them  not  to  fuck  with  vox  machina  .〝

" are you feeling lonely, perhaps? "

〝   are  you  offering  company  ?〝   skepticism  dances  with  the  sly  flirtatiousness  of  the  hour  while  his  fingers  busy  themselves  with  assessing  the  resistance  of  a  blade's  edge  .  he  does  not  even  meet  her  eyes  as  he  busies  himself  with  his  dagger's  integrity  .  that  is  ,  not  until  he's  satisfied  with  it  ,  in  which  event  ,  he  places  it  back  in  its  scabbard  and  looks  up  at  her  from  his  seated  position  .  his  eyes  are  wide  with  something  curious  and  simultaneously  disinterested  ,  like  he's  trying  to  decide  which  feeling  suits  him  better  for  the  moment  .   〝  because  if  so  ,  i'll  take  it  .〝

and  almost  immediately  ,  the  cunning  interest  in  his  tone  shifts  into  something  more  exasperated  ,  desperate  for  distraction  ,〝   it's  awfully  boring  out  here  .  the  city  has much  more  to offer  .〝   then  ,  he  lifts  himself  from  his  knees  ,  scoping  the  surrounding  area  ,  as  well  as  the  flower  peddler  ,  for  weapons  or  anomalies  ,  only  furthering  his  presently  one  -  sided  conversation  once  his  shifting  gaze  finds  safety  as  it  meets  with  hers  ,  and  he  smiles  ,  〝   what  about  you  ?  what  do  you  prefer  ,  stranger  ?〝

❛    by all means, take your time in picking that lock. it's not as if we're in any rush, or anything [ ... ] hm? oh, i'm being completely serious. the bhaalists are terrible when it comes to cleaning up their own messes outside of their beloved temple. they like to keep their artwork for others to find, and since the blood is still fresh, they won't be anywhere near here.      ❜

〝   serious  it  is  then .〝    he  sighs  ,  eyes  never  straying  from  the  concentrated  squint  they  have  on  this  hells  -  damned  lock  .〝   a  bit  tacky  really  ,  but  i  suppose  i  won't  judge  .〝   his  lips  purse silently  ,〝   anyways  ,  say  one  turns  the  corner  .  what  then  ?〝

“I would poke you back, but I fear that's what you want.”

〝  bold  of  you  to  assume  what  i  would  want .〝   he  smirks  ,  unmistakably  flirting  in  a  manner  painstakingly  melodramatic  .  his  eyes  meet  hers  ,  and  for  a  moment  ,  a  flicker  of  softness  possesses  his  lingering  gaze  .  an  over  -  confident  taunt  of  an  expression  fades  into  a  tender  simper  ,  and  he  stares  until  they  both  realize  the  rather  awkward  air  that  has  invaded  the  space  between  them  .  the  truth  hiding  beneath  his  words  ,  like  a  thief  in  the  back  -  alleys  of  a  crowded  city  ,  would  eventually  be  found  .  that  is  ,  if  it  hasn't  already  . 

his  heart  skips  a  beat  ,  and  he  averts  his  gaze  to  the  nearest  wall  ,  pursing  his  lips  in  self  -  recollection  .  and  ,  in  just  a  few  seconds  ,  when  he  does  recollect  himself  ,  he  leans  his  arm  against  the  table  between  them  and  sighs  ,  again  with  the  theatrics  of  it  all  ,〝   besides  ,  i  don't  suppose  a  little  poke  ever  wounded  anyone  so  severely  .〝  and  ,  he's  stooped  to  antagonizing  her  .

[seeraven]

“Who shall I silence?”

a   sister's   defense   is   like   a   protective   shield   ;   not   often   required   (   at   least   ,   not   as   a   rogue   )   ,   but   always   understood   to   be   appreciated   .   the   way   she   bristles   like   a   feral   cat   in   the   face   of   danger   leads   him   into   the   self   -   inflicted   role   of   some   sort   of   shitty   mediator   ,   and   he   places   a   reassuring   hand   against   her   shoulder   .   he   offers   a   smile   of   practiced   pride   and loving calmness in   an   attempt   to   assuage   her   fears   ,〝  careful   ,   stubby   .〝 

flexing   his   fingers   against   the   hilt   of   his   dagger   ,   he   strolls   in   front   of   her   with   a   decided   confidence   ,   the   smirk   upon   his   face  ,   best   described   as   cocky   .   his   hand   drifts   from   her   touch   in   a   brisk   movement   ,   his   steps   pointed   and   calculated   ;   the   enemy   has   yet   to   detect   his   light   -   footed   approach   when he speaks ,

〝  i    will   handle   this   one   .〝

𝐁𝐆𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

a selection of lines from the various companions' banter quotes (not cut scene dialogues!) from baldur's gate 3. these are generally spoiler free and non context specific so they can apply to different settings and dynamics! feel free to change names and the like to customize the prompts.

“Death can't have me. Not yet…”

“Calm yourself. There is plenty of me to go around.”

“Realmspace is vast. Countless worlds to be mapped, kingdoms to be conquered.”

“I have missed this. The adventure. The danger. The kicking of butts!

“Let me guess - you need something.”

“Such attention.. I never realised I was so popular.”

“Let's cook with fire, baby.”

“Do you intend to vocalise every thought?. Or just the most obvious ones?”

“Wherever we go, ye gods let there be something green.”

“Careful, or I will take your toy away from you.”

“Watch your elders and learn.”

“Perhaps try attacking the enemy?”

“So much we don't know, lingering in the furthest reaches of existence.”

“All the world's my stage and you're just a player in it.”

“The shadows are my friend.”

“Yes, yes, have your fun. It isn't you they're trying to kill.”

“Feet planted firmly on Faerûn, please.”

“Admirable stamina, yet terrible priorities.”

“Well you certainly have the 'omnipresent' part down, don't you?”

“I am ready, whatever may come.”

“My faith protects me.”

“Need a throat slitting?”

“Death greets us all - but not today.”

“You need my expertise?”

“Can you feel death's cold grip?”

“So many stars, so many mysteries yet to be discovered.”

“Death comes quietly.”

“And I thought we were going to be friends.”

“Locked tight, but there must be some way to open it.”

“No, you can't die. Get up, damn you!

“You had my attention, now you have my fury.”

“From silence to suffering.”

“So many worlds out there. You'd need a thousand lifetimes to see them all - more.”

“I hope this is important. For your sake.”

“Let them gaze deep into their own abyss, and wonder just what it is they are trying to achieve.”

“I ought to just burn this whole thing down.”

“We have slightly more pressing matters to attend to.”

“You have still have time to surrender.”

“Every kicked buttock, another step on the path.”

“Weave save me. I can't take much more…

“You are right to fear me.”

“Let me look around. Might be something that'll help me crack this thing.”

“Incredible, to think how many worlds exist beyond this tiny speck within a speck I call home.”

“I really wish I could cast a Hold spell on you.”

“I can fawn over my face later.”

“Ready for another round?”

“Keep your blade close.”

“I can't unlock it from here, but there must be a switch or a button somewhere…”

“No, that's not moving. There must be a way to open it somewhere.”

“Battle favours the fearless.”

“Sleep with one eye open, evil. Maybe both.”

“Gotta be something around here to unlock this thing.”

“Why do beautiful people taste better?. It hardly seems fair on the ugly - they have such wonderful personalities.”

“Oh, calm down. I'm happy to see you too.”

“Just go for the Magic Missile and fire away. Never fails.”

“Still standing, no matter what you heard.”

“Enough waiting. I crave blood.”

“Hang on - I won't allow this. You aren't dead, go it?”

“GODS, it's HOT in here!”

“No rest for the wicked, I see.”

“Better to hide than fight, sometimes.”

“Would that I could hide from you, too.”

“Are you feeling lonely, perhaps?”

“There is no right or wrong, only truth.”

“Battle is afoot - you can poke me once we are safe.”

“What good all this ethereal eladrin blood if I can still get pimples?”

“I should've been a drow. They have such stylish armour.”

“I am armed! Armoured! And entirely sick of your foolishness.”

“Let's have some fun.”

“War is an old woman's game.”

“No rest, be you wicked or wise.”

“I'm getting too old for this nonsense.”

“I would poke you back, but I fear that's what you want.”

“You have my attention - now do something with it.”

“You are insistent, are you not?”

“Do what must be done.”

“Your suffering will be spectacular.”

“Lest I sit down for a rest and not rise again.”

“Better to look evil in the eye. Even if it be very small.”

“I'm not built to crouch.”

“I think I could go another round.”

“Always the same old song.”

“Is perfection too much to ask?”

“Eyes on victory, tummy on dinner.”

“So many places to be.. and I chose Baldur's Gate.”

“I'm not opening that. Not from here, at any rate.”

“What is the point, if not victory?”

“Won't last much longer like this.”

“Let's hope the locals are friendly.”

“Let us show them how it's done.”

“Weapons high. Standards higher.”

“Must everyone be so exhausting?”

“What I would not give for a chunk of fresh honeycomb…”

“Which way to the nearest library?”

“Now this is my happy place.”

“Who shall I silence?”

“Stop, or die.”

“Wear your scars proudly.”

“Well, what do you call it when someone tries to kill you?”

“Tuesday.”
