October Catch-all

[trickfoot]

Who: Pike Trickfoot (trickfoot) & you!
What: Catch all during the event. A few closed starters, otherwise open to all.
When: The month of October
Where: the Vox Machina house, and in the city proper.
Warning(s): she's going to put all of you in bubbles, so help Sarenrae.



Once Pike had found out about the illness, she kicked it into gear. She used what healing spells she had access to that first day to help out with minor injuries, giving balm and kind words to those who needed it.

Though it was back at home that she seemed to be needed the most.

She's willing to come out to anyone who needs her and heal most injuries, but none of her restorative spells are able to help ward off the effects of the disease, much to her disappointment. She's not used to her spells not working like this.

[Feel free to find Pike around the city, if you need help. She kind of stands out, with her gnomish stature and bright gold plate armor.]

[Vox Machina House]

With the new information that Percy was sick, Pike had pretty much decided that the house was under quarantine. She wasn't sure how the disease spread yet, so it was a blanket order for the entire house to be careful around each other and to try and not get any one else sick.

So much for that, right?

around the city

[latkje]

[ Nash can be found exiting some back alleyway or another, looking somewhat worse for wear, but doing his best to hide it. To the trained eye, though, the ache is obvious in the way he moves, precise and measured, his weight carefully balanced. Maybe that's why he's distracted— or maybe it's whatever just happened in that back alley. In any case, he nearly trips over Pike, recovering just in time, wincing as his left heel hits the ground unexpectedly. He doesn't fall, but it still hurt. ]

Forgive me, milady. [ He says, tacking the last word on when he notices her armor. ] I'm afraid it's very like me to miss what's right in front of me.

Vox Machina house

Now from the fact he was hunting with one person who had gotten infected probably before their hunt together, it was a miracle that Sen had managed to avoid being sick. Yes, Percy. He knows and he isn't happy about that, but, he also knows when the right and wrong time to bring that up would be. He could smack the man later.

Right now, he's doing what little he can to help those trying to cure the sickness inbetween his search for the perpetrators. Which brings him here to Vox Machina's house. Outside, he holds a small box under his arm as he stands in front of the door. With three loud knocks he calls to anyone who may actually be inside the place "Hello? Keyleth? Vex? Anyone who isn't currently sick? It's Sen. I came by to drop some things off if you're here."

For Prior

[trickfoot]

Halfway through the month, Pike needs a break. With Percy and Vex both sick, keeping the two most stubborn people on bed rest has been a task. Before she blows up at all of them, she decides for herself that she needs to step away from the house for a few hours to calm down and breathe.

Remembering that Prior had mentioned the movies to her, she had made sure to call and ask if he had any free time for some company. With an affirmative response, Pike makes her way over to Prior's house and knocks on the door.

after vex is sick! c:

Vax feels...complicated. about the whole thing.

Percy was caught in the initial blast. That much they knew. That blast was somehow connected to the illness he'd come down with - the fever, the chills, the hallucinations. Vax had been scanning for rumors around that time, trying to find something to do with them. Trying to understand what was even going on. Because in a city they were promised would be safe, a place they'd thought they'd come to to escape this kind of chaos, an explosion and subsequent sickness was a little suspicious.

But then Vex came down with it, and everything vax had been thinking was multiplied tenfold.

For a good day or so, he stuck around the house- taking care of her, trying to ease the panic behind her eyes at whatever it was she was seeing, helping Pike in whatever way he could actually be useful and not in the way. But even then, he still felt useless, still felt his attention drifting, and after a particularly restless night and finally getting Vex to calm herself enough for a bit, Vax finds himself stepping out to find the cleric.

"Hey, Pike?" Was she still in the kitchen? He was worried about raising his voice, what with Percy and now Vex dealing with whatever this was, but he wasn't sure where to start looking for Pike... "Pike?"

At Home :(

[moneytwin]

She'd been incredibly reluctant to admit that she was falling prey to sickness. Bad enough that whatever illness afflicting Percy was also shared by others in the city, but she'd done her best to stay clean whether outdoors in the city or pulling her own weight on de Rolo Watch.

But the deep seated cough shook her lungs and she'd turned sallow enough in colour that both Sen and Vax had called her on it, the latter dragging her reluctant ass home and away from their city-wide hunt, ordering her into bed before tattling to calling upon Pike.

That had been two days ago, and now, on the third night of confirmed sickness, sleep evades and the cough lingers. Pulling the thin blanket about her (Vex is unwilling to use the elvenkind cloak for extra warmth), there's a sullen shuffle of feet as the half-elf peeks into the kitchen. Some tea seems like a good idea right about now..
