[ this would be funny if he saw it in time. mostly because it's reminiscent of grog. alas.
vax's brows raise, and he reaches up to pull on the edge of his hood, now the one hiding his face a little. only a little - there's some white facepaint visible. ]
Cleaning up after something stupid. Watch out for clowns.
[ has vax ever been to a circus? no actually and he's very glad ]
We ran into a bunch of them when we were out scouting. They closed in like they were going to attack us, honking their weird little red noses and thinking they're funny.
anyway because he thinks he's funny he laughs, and then waves a hand. ]
No, we didn't see any. You can hear them in the carnival now, apparently. They keep running up on people and causing problems, but then they blow up into confetti. No one else got blasted with makeup besides me and Sneaky back there, but why the fuck wouldn't we.
[ the
clown makeup is a little more visible now. hilarious ]
Hm. So, following an initial encounter, they have become more prevalent... if they explode in such a manner, however, I very much doubt they are meant as anything but a nuisance.
[disposable creations, meant to bother them for... some reason.]
Clearly, we are not meant to relax here. Not that I ever truly intended to do so.
What! Think it's funny, don't you want to wear some?
[ he's like dodging out of the way of these hands but he's also not trying very hard to rub any makeup on him. mostly because it's not going to come off, as he has learned - but he is annoying and slippery and hard to catch. wehe ]
[well! he rolled an 18, so they do in fact dance a bit, emet-selch ducking and darting after him as he tries to avoid his grasp--
before he finally mutters, 'there,' and just scoops him up, grabbing him under the arms and lifting him into the air, more or less eye-level with emet.]
[ this is the most vaxildan thing thats ever happened
i cant tell you he's not into it a little ]
Wouldn't come off on you anyway. [ to vax's credit he does not flinch or try and run away and just kind of stares at him, much akin to catching a cat. ]
[ it's just a little bit!!!!! its fine!!!!! sometimes you're a bisexual
anyway he's half hovering off of the ground now. this is fine? i can't say he's not used to this part either unfortunately. he will give it about two minutes before he starts to squirm free though. ]
Sure, yeah. Clown fey. Seems right to me. Know any dispel magic tricks, big guy?
[ thank you. he is very graceful despite having just been in stinky boy timeout, reaching up to brush himself off a little bit and pluck a stray piece of grayscale confetti from his feathers. ]
Makes two of us. [ oh well. ] No harm done beyond the pride, so there's that. And some kind of clue, too.
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.]
[ 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.

sorry he doesn't know what a clown is. he's peering at that hint of facepaint, though.]

[what the fuck!
he's immediately more attentive at the mention of running into others here, though.]
Were these... clowns present anywhere before you encountered them, to your knowledge?

Their paint wasn't, and neither was the confetti, but they definitely were. [ so they're a nuisance but a plot related nuisance ] Weird.
no subject
[now that's fascinating-- his brows quirk.]
Then they may bear looking into, if more are now present. The dimness of this place is truly strange, but if aspects of it stand out so...
no subject
[ grumbling ]
If you wanna look into it, by all means - just get ready to get stuck like this. [ vax now, finally, reaches up to pull his hood down. :unamused: ]
no subject
[he is
he's trying not to laugh
but he's definitely smirking about it, a hand held up to his mouth.]
'Tis an... odd affliction, to be certain.
no subject
.... Hey, big guy. Hey, c'mere, let me give you a hug. Don't you want some of this?
[ and vax is starting to get up and move towards emet like he's going to rub his CLOWN MAKEUP all over his clothes immediately COME HERE ]
no subject
[LEAVE HIS ROBES ALONE WHAT THE FUCK? emet-selch is basically just leaning down to try to keep vax at arms' length, no, stay BACK.]
Do not touch me!

[he can tell he's not trying super hard, but is that stopping him from trying to pick vax up off the ground like a naughty cat? absolutely not.]

C'mon, big guy, let's dance - [ he's just nyooming and dodging now to be a shit ]

I see. More akin to a curse then, I take it.

I do, yes... but my capability seems to have been dampened somehow.
