[ okay at this point, it's been long enough - they're back, and Cas has been radio silent for weeks, mission or not. It's inevitable, the answers he's gonna get, but he's gotta ask. For reasons. ]

Gonna be a long shot, but has anyone seen Cas? Nerdy little guy in a trench coat? About 5'11", dark hair, awkward as hell?

Pretty sure he's gone again, but this is a big place.

Something not depressing as hell - if anyone needs a solid distraction, Rocky's Barcade is open and here for all your avoidant needs. i dunno come have a beer and drink your problems away.

The Celestial, right? Haven't seen him in some time.

[ They didn't quite get along, though. ]

Gone again? This has happened before?

[venatoris]

that’s him

yeah third times the charm I guess

[twin_blade]

He's been here and left three times? Is that normal?

[venatoris]

dont think so. but it can friggin stop in this case, that’s enough

[ he can’t take it again ]

[twin_blade]

[ Even through text, Vax can tell this is a blow. ]

Fuck. I'm sorry. I don't even know you, and I barely knew him, but if you want to get drunk with a stranger, I'm good at that.

[ Because Vox Machina values their alcohol. When times are good and when times are bad. ]

Maybe he'll come back. He did before.

[venatoris]

won't say no to it.

not sure I can take a fourth time, if I'm being honest

[twin_blade]

You said there was a bar? I've been looking for a decent one.

[venatoris]

yep, built in bar, 3 draft beers on tap. got wine too, some whiskey. can't play retro games without a drink these days

[twin_blade]

What's a 'retro' game?

[venatoris]

video/arcade games from the 80s, but everyone here's from different places so it's 50/50 on if you know what that means

can thread or handwave. your choice!

[twin_blade]

Sorry. Back home, when we get drunk, it usually ends in a brawl. But, I'll check out the games. I'll stop by the bar in an hour.

im good with either!!

[venatoris]

yeah, same actually. been in a few bar brawls myself

i'll see you then, drinks on me [ haha he's funny ]

alright!

[twin_blade]

[ Drinks on him. Cute. Back home, they sometimes worried about having enough money for a meal. That was before he and Vex partnered up with the others. Here, money doesn't even exist. It's kind of strange, sometimes, but they might as well indulge. If Grog were here, he wouldn't stop drinking if all the booze were free.

Within an hour, Vax steps through the door of the bar and has a look around. He's not familiar with the games. Some may resemble those from his world, but he imagines the rules might be different.

But first, he's going to the bar to have a seat at a stool. ]

[venatoris]

[ Yeah, that's a mood. Dean's used to hustling money for food, credit card fraud, all the good stuff. He's not exactly a paragon of justice here, but angels and demons all seem to think otherwise so here we are.

Dean's bent down behind the bar itself, and when he hears someone sit, he pops up, a wry grin on his face, wiping his hands on a towel. Freakin' water leak. ]

Hey.

[twin_blade]

[ One's thieving skills get pretty good when necessity calls for it. Vax and his sister were on their own pretty young, so that leads to a certain lifestyle, but not one Vax is ashamed of.

Vax's brow lifts when Dean suddenly pops up from behind the bar. An amused half-smile crosses the elf's face. ]

Hey. You spend a lot of time down there?

[ He's joking, of course. ]

[venatoris]

[ haaaaaa, he can't help but smirk, dropping the towel onto the bar and giving an obligatory swipe. ]

More than you'd think. [ heh. ] What's your poison?

[twin_blade]

[ Corny? Yes, he is. But Vax means well. ]

I'll have whatever you're having.

[ Because Dean is the one who needs the drink. ]
