Whatever is happening here-- I do acknowledge it is not impossible to have been some grave sort of accident that pulled us here, but the lack of our abilities speaks to something more intentional, in my opinion. Particularly as I would be able to quit this place were I not hindered so.
[it would be polite to sit somewhere, probably. he does not. enjoy looking up.]

Right. Yeah, I'm thinking the same.
[ this is a very serious conversation to be having with a man covered in clown paint ]
The nature of - [ hmmm ] - well. It wouldn't be that odd for me to be dragged out to somewhere like this to get rid of something. If we were brought here on purpose, then the lack of ability's maybe from the place itself, and what brought us round just expects us to deal with the obstacle.
[ honestly in his experience that's usually how it goes. ] Could've at least made the doors a little taller for you though.

If that were the case, then whatever brought us here could stand to say something on the matter, or leave any sort of message at all.
[he's immediately grouchy at the mere prospect of it.]
'Twould hardly be odd for me to be called out to handle problems of a particular nature, either, but it would not happen like this.

Yeah. You'd think.
[ his eyes flick up briefly to the ceiling. ma'am. ]
... 's one of the things lost, though. I can't communicate with - what I'd usually do. Can't sense anything. I should've known these fucking things [ he gestures vaguely in the direction of his clown make up ] were coming, but I didn't. Maybe that's why.
[ which. cool! hate that. ]
Well. Complaining's not gonna get us shit about it.

Not that unaccustomed. Just used to seeing a big guy in a little room.
[ though emet seems like
way smarter than grog but that's a really low bar. he's moving to sit on something that's close by - a broken pillar, a counter, whatever. ] Friend of mine's the same size.
Looks like we're all from different places somehow. What're your people, exactly?

[ this is hilarious actually? hanging out with emet is proving to be generally hilarious
vax just sort of watches him get accosted by flowers and shrieking ghosts because he is very unhelpful. ]
Think they'll get off your back if you just pick one.

[ ghosts please ]
Alright, alright, fuck off. Give me the flowers.
[ vax to the rescue! maybe? or not. he hops up and snatches the bouquet from the yelling creature without any difficulty. ] Come on, we'll fix this arrangement. Yeah?
[ "fix" this "arrangement". he gives emet a look, raising his eyebrows like "yes we'll fix this arrangement we can use this to escape come on" ]

[ yes we will! look it gets the ghost to ignore them, running off yelling something about the catering.
vax will take this little victory, carrying his bouquet over and sitting unceremoniously on the ground. ]
Take it apart, put it back together again so it looks a little different. You any good with flowers?

[stop don't make yourself SMALLER ugh. emet-selch does not sit, just looking further down at him.]
You would want Halmarut for that, I expect, not me-- and in any case, I expect I would find them difficult to handle.
[his big fingers.]

Cause I'm right.
[ it's true though - the ghosts run off to go bother someone else now that they look very busy. congratulations on the floor emet
vax'ildan gives him a bit of a grin, mouth quirking up at the corner, as he unties the ribbon around the bouquet and lets it fall apart, examining the pile of flowers. there are tons in here, from monochrome sunflowers to roses and carnations to baby's breath. its a lot. ]
...'sides. I don't exactly look like someone who knows anything about flowers, do I? But I learned here and there. Never know if you can't do something until you try.
[ he offers forward one of the longer monochrome sunflowers with a fat stem. ] Here. Trim the bottom of this off at an angle for me.
[ miming swiping with sharp claw fingies!! ]

[he's just glancing at vax, there, watching his hand in a very flat sort of 'what do you even want from me here' way. but he's probably had to unsling his giant sword from his back to sit, leaving it next to him; emet selch carefully takes the flower between two fingers, then swipes its stem over the sharp edge of his sword.
it's decent, if not the Most precise.]
Satisfied?

Great.
[ hands him another flower ] That one too. Make em even. Let's make these a little shorter.
[ speaking of being demanding...
after a moment of this - calmly measuring some of the thicker stems and handing them over to be cut down, glancing at the sword. ]
That your thing from home? The fuckoff sword.

I am not here to simply be ordered around as you please, you realize.
[huffs! but he does it anyway, if only because it does keep the ghosts away.]
It is, yes. Not what I would have expected... but it is useful enough, even if it is hardly what I would have chosen.

Better than being screamed at by ghosts, isn't it?
[ wehe
he's obviously being a little shit but doesn't mind, sorting through the flowers and putting them into piles so they're all grouped together, occasionally passing over flowers to be cut. ]
What would you have picked, then?
