[ anyway yeah he is just
dragging percy off to somewhere else - maybe not by the hand, but the gesture of "follow me" was pretty easy. lets find a corner somewhere away from the others. though vax looks tense and uneasy, and his arms are folded, it's probably more likened to worry. ]
...Glintshore's really the last thing you remember?

[ percy allows himself to be ushered away, his steps quick. worse case scenario, he's walking into another nightmare. as it stands, vax seems rather real considering all the shaking he did.
as he steps into the room, he admires the room in silence for a moment, the crumbling molding and creaking floors. it feels like an echo. he just finds himself slowly spanning his hand against the wall, brow drawn. ]
The last thing I remember is [ (static) ] going down one last time. I could feel it. All of it. And then none of it...
[ and then he was here. ]

[ going down. that feels like centuries ago, now. how many of them have gone down since? himself - twice, and before percy, a cold temple holding his sister's body that changed his life and -
no. he can't think about that right now. vax takes a deep breath, hand coming up to scrub down his face as he lets out a deflating: ] Ffffuck. [ alright ]
That's - that was ages ago, Percy. You're - you're fine. You better be fine. You were fine then.
[ "fine" for all manners of the word, anyway. because he's here, a not so small part of vax is worried that isn't the case. ]

Ages...?
[ his brow furrows ]
What do you mean ages, Vax, it felt very fucking recent, if you ask me. Why? What's the last thing you remember before coming here?
[ he's less aggression, more exasperation, and vax will know it from having spent so damn long on the road with him. percy's brows draw. ] And why us, but not the rest of them... I've seen all sorts of people and none of them are ours.

[ he remembers.. snowdrops.
...
vax shakes his head. ] Nothing you do. Ripley's dead. Real fucking dead. We tore her to pieces after...
[ .... ] After.
[ that's not an exaggeration. and, if percy is just remembering that, then that death must be achingly fresh. especially if he doesn't remember the resurrection, either. vox machina, avoiders of death. he thinks - maybe there's a reason they're both here if that's the case, but doesn't say it. ]
I wasn't expecting to see any of you. Not like this. [ so. ] May as well look for the others, but -
[ but, really, he hopes none of them are here. ]

[ when vax sees percy from where he is coming back from the carnival, picking confetti off of his shoulders, he immediately, mentally, says nope and pulls his hood down further over his face. ]
Hey. Watch out for fucking clowns while you're out there.
[ :T ]

[ percy is coming back from the zombie-filled hall in the mansion as well, strange, colorful spatters on his hair and his jacket's arm. ]
Oh really? Add zombies to the list then, while you're at it.
What's wrong, are you shy all of a sudden?
[ reaching out to drag that hood off i'm sorry, you don't scare him, he tackled a zombie. ]

[ slaps at his hand back, gimme, gimme, hoodie off, vax. he refuses to be stopped. ]
It tried to bite my head and... sort of gnawed a little half-heartedly on me but... but breakage. Just color.
[ LOOK. ]
There has to be a source, their mouths were covered in it.

Oh, fuck off. Best avoid your own reflection in the mirror then, too.
[ ROLLING
HIS EYES
but it's fine. the effect is incredibly diminished by his horrible clown makeup. now that the jig is up he will drop his hood willingly and he does in fact look like a goth clown. ] I ran into a group of clowns, literally. They were acting like that fucking clearing in the Feywild. I responded appropriately and they retaliated.

[ god how appropriate that goth clown is what they chose to make you. percy's just respectfully hiding his smile behind his hand before clearing his throat, turning it into a more thoughtful posture. ]
Appropriately meaning you flat out attaked them... I see.
We thought the zombies were hostile at first, but once we started speaking to them they seemed confused and dispersed. In fact, they seemed rather hesitant to keep attacking us once we'd tried to talk to them.

[ they did not and he can fucking smell it, dude. you're stinky, always knives out. it's fine. ]
Yeah, they had it all over their mouths, which means there's some sort of source. We couldn't get much out of them... honestly, I was glad they simply left us alone.

Sure we'll have plenty of those to deal with in the future.
[ yaaaay zombies. ] You grab anything to shank something with, just in case? The busted glass in the mansion's useful enough.
[ (vax voice) i have so many knives ]
