Majin wakes up earlier than the others and goes to train with his hex weapon as he talks to it like he used to when the paladin was still alive So, did I improved my form? looks at the hex weapon I wish u were here my dear friend.

"Who..... are..... you... Why am i bound to this blade?" The voice in the blade replies.

U're awake. looks at the blade Anyways, u're bound to the blade that my father was sealed in. If I remember Araavos said that u were a vengeful paladin spirit. So, what's ur story? keeps looking at the blade trying to see if he can spot the paladin's reflection

"I... was... a.. paladin.... yes... i remember now... did we win the war? The voice in the blade inquires"

looks down at the blade Which war do u speak of my dear friend?

"The war against the darkness in Lights Hope" the voice tells you.

I don't know about said war. But a friend can show us. In the mean time, we can get to know each other and train. I would like to hear ur story as we train. *Majin smiles at the blade

"You can ask 3 questions and I shall answer" the voice says

Majin thinks about the questions Hmm. What's ur name?

"sir alden"

Who killed u, Sir Alden? Majin keeps training

"A warlord......Lord Malachar, the Shadowblade" he growls as the words sear your hands as the blade glows with fury

Majin reads it and nods Will u train me to improve my skills even tho I'm a newbie at swordsmanship?

"Point me at my enemy, and together they will fall...." Sir alden says as the voice fades and you can hear him no longer

Majin nods and keeps training, this time with confidence that he'll do the right thing

[Fernessa and Rilith are in the dining room. Nazmir is at the altar (the good altar)]

Majin keeps training till he can't maintain his humanoid figure

Breakfast: Astral Fruit Parfait with Yogurt of the Divine Crescent Moon Croissants Mage's Brew of Timelessness

chuckles softly Astral theme this morning? Perfect! orders the food

Never been to the Astral Plane, but this sounds interesting

no pancakes???

Majin turns into his blob form and tries to not make puddles making himself a bit more solid as he goes towards the dining room Morning everyone. takes a sit

You can still order pancakes if you want that instead

I may not know a lot about Gith, but isn't it their dream to visit the Astral Plane?

i have traveled the astral plane

Ah, because of Araavos?

I've only seen the Astral Sea in my dreams cause of my father's stories. He told me that there's no need to breath there and that some of the creatures are beautiful and amazing.

You can still die in Wild Space if you're not a local

When did he get here?

who knows?

True, but my dad is a local from there. Born and raised. Me on the other hand, I was born before he got sealed into the sword and teached me how to sail the seas saying "The ships here are no different than the classic ones up there". says making an impression of him

Yes and no

Wdym?

Well my memories were altered after Gale's wish, but I still grew up in the Astral Plane. My childhood friend, Ozwald the Giff, is the person that makes most of the food here. He's got amazing smell.

Majin looks at Rilith How's life up there? Did u sail one of the ships? What creatures have u seen and how do they look like? Majin questions with excitement wanting to know so much about the culture from the Astral Plane

Please..... you'll spoil my breakfast with this Mundane conversation..

*He's curious...

*smiles a little. reminiscing*....Beautiful....Plasmoids and Giff are some of the locals there among Astral Elves like me and the two gods....There's Giant Space Hamster People, Space Ships, technology the material plane has never seen before, and my personal favorite thing about the Astral Plane....Space Dolphins! giggles

Then go to the Library.... Do some research.

Oh... now they can talk since she mentioned you

Of course.... I'm always an interesting topic

(playfully): I'd rather talk about orc tribes than boost your ego.

Majin smiles I would love to go there someday. I mean, I did promise my dad I would visit him someday. eats his food and notices Karlach before waving at her

Honey, everything about me is large. Especially my ego. No need to inflate it, just tell others about it. Spread the "good news" as it were

{Nearly spitting out her food at Araavos's comment, waves back at Maijn..

I could say that you're a good lover at least. But Gale is....*notices Gale isn't here*....huh...

Gale is in the Library reading books on Chaotic Energy

Go on?

Nope

Not even for some Nebula Pastries?

Your ears perk up. You remember those, they're extrmely rare... These pastries are shaped like swirling galaxies, with flaky, buttery layers encasing a filling made from rare astral berries and cream. Each Nebula Pastry is a work of art, painted with edible pigments that mimic the vibrant hues of nebulae. Eating one of these treats gives the consumer a momentary sense of weightlessness and a feeling of drifting through the cosmos.

She visualizes them. Really wanting some right now

These can not be conjured. That's what makes them so rare

...Please get me one?

A deal's a deal..... start talking....

Of all the people I've slept with, you're the one I think the most about. There.

{He grins..} There... was that so hard? {he says as he vanishes}

He returns and presents you with a box. The box is adorned with intricate, metallic filigree depicting constellations and astral patterns. The lid of the box is crafted from a translucent material that mimics the appearance of a vast, starlit sky. Upon opening the lid, a soft, radiant light spills out, illuminating the surroundings with a gentle, celestial glow.

I do hope you enjoy it....

Btw, does anyone knows about the war between the darkness in Lights Hope?

Library. Secion 37, row 3, book 7

eating the pastries happily

There is only 1 pastry.

Wish I had more, but oh well

The moment you take a bite, a symphony of flavors unfolds on your palate. The almond-flavored pastry shell is buttery and flaky, providing a perfect contrast to the creamy, celestial ganache inside. The ganache bursts with flavors of infused astral honey, reminiscent of golden nectar from distant star blossoms. As you chew, you encounter delicate notes of moonberry and comet citrus, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and citrusy zing. With every bite, you experience a subtle, effervescent sensation, as if tiny stars are gently fizzing on your tongue. The combination of textures—crispy pastry, velvety ganache, and edible metallic dust—creates a delightful mouthfeel that enhances the overall enjoyment.

I want this fucking pastry now. Gimme.

*Majin finishes eating and goes to the library in search for the book*Thanks Solidus. leaves

Probably would taste like a warm wild berry poptart

Maijin finds the book..

Majin looks at the blade The battle which u had inspired others to continue the fight and continue ur legacy, u became a hero. smiles and puts the blade back inside I'm honored to have u as my comrade at arms.

Thanks for the pastry, Araavos

anytime. You spill another flattering secret....... They're special you know

....You can read minds, right?

{if you can convince him to watch... And say nothing........ I might be willing to teach him}

(Araavos, I like the idea, but what if he gets upset? I really don't want to hurt him. He's sensitive...)

(then don't bring him)

(Fine. I'll talk with him...I just really hope he doesn't cry or get mad)

you do that, I'm going to lunch

grabs celestial Chicken tenders and arcane salad as she leaves to find Gale

meanwhile in the library

holding food Gale? You in here?

oh hey rilith whatcha got there

Lunch. I tried to grab enough to share. You hungry? sits down on a bench

as you say that, the amount of food doubles

sure

gestures him to come over

(he sits beside you) So..... What's on your mind?

I wanted to talk to you about something....Promise not to get upset?

well how can I promise that

...sigh Gale, you're a sweetheart. And I love you, but....another sigh Araavos suggested you watch the next time he and I are together, but you can't say anything or get jealous...

I can't say I'd enjoy it.... But..... Do you want me to watch? Or do you feel its the best way for me to learn and is this something you want?

I feel it would be the best way for you to learn. I really don't want to hurt you, but I really think it's worth a try.

tell me honestly, would you enjoy me watching?

blushes faintly ....I wouldn't mind it....for education...

that's not what I'm asking. Would you be excited sexually knowing I'm sitting there..... Watching.... Saying nothing

No, of course not! I already know you'd suffer if it's to teach you! I told you time and time again I don't want to see you hurt. I wouldn't be excited, I probably won't even enjoy myself with Araavos knowing you're miserable!

then I'll do it, but I have one request.

yes?

he has to cast some sort of an illusion, and it has to be a random day or time and not tell you when. You can not know I'm there..

I'll let him know.

one more request?

Anything, my love

it has to be you alone. No orgy. Which means you'll need several alone sessions so its random

Got it.

Then go ahead and let him know... as well as my terms...

nods and finishes her plate before going to see Araavos

Meanwhile in the lounge

Araavos? walks up to him

Ahh.... Rilith.. I assume you spoke with Gale?

I did, but he has terms

Making demands of me? The nerve........ But... I respect that...Go on..

He wants us to be alone. No orgy. And to cast an illusion so I never know he's there

You know what he's really asking right?

That sounds perfect...I can bring him here to tell him.

Best you do that on the way here.... I'd rather not deal with him personally.... Oh, and tell him he won't know when it's going to happen either..

Got it

{As Shadzaar skulks down the corridor to the dining hall, he idly prods his fangs with his tongue.} Huh… I bet I need to brush those differently than the rest now.

Also, the bet's still on. You still have to seduce Solidus..

..Right

Meanwhile in the dining hall

Why is the chicken so tiny and covered in this... bread thing?

I think they called it fried....

They're actually quite good, I had some earlier, came back for the drink

{He reaches out, pulling the door open enough to slip through. Once inside he glances about for a free seat.}

I don't think they're that small

walks in I hope I didn't miss lunch! I was at the pond!

Oh, hey there, Moss Head.

When Fernessa planted the flower near the pond, it took root immediatly, and began to glow like it had in the Faewild.. Could this be a sign her sister's thinking about her? Or that the pond really has become a connection to the Faewild it'self not a mere pretender.... Or a bit of both?

So... Gale... where's your wife? Still can't believe you guys got married...

(playfully, to Astarion): See? At least he gives me a nickname that isn't blood related.

I called you Moss and you yelled at me...

Well that’s ‘cuz I ain’t had none yet, fool.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS MY ACTUAL NAME!

{Shad side-eyes Astarion.}

You know Chelsea's single.. right?

Still with Araavos discussing things I think

{Oz brings out more lunch; just in case anyone hasn’t eaten yet.}

Perhaps you can get your fill from her.....?

Yes, cook... I will have more of theese... "ten...der...s"

So..... what exotic foods do you have today Oz?

Ah, thanks, Hippo fella. {He piles his plate with tenders, snatches two bowls each of the soup and salad and tops it all off with two mugs of elixir.} Heheheh…

You know he's only going to eat like 3 bites right?

Yeah sure, have anoher innocent lady be used as a personal "juice box"

Every vamp needs one....

I don't mind it. I never did. I found it hot. But for a while, it was all I was to you....But you've changed, and I'm still happy you did

Oh great..... tell the others...

The rest of the group in unison... "WE ALREADY KNEW!!!!"

Well I..... i'd never........ You guys are nosey... you know that... Invading people's privacy like that.... Totally rude...

You can't exactly keep things hidden around here

I wish you would though...

Dammit.

Cuts of chicken tenders, breaded and fried. {He sets down another platter of neatly presented chicken.} These are called Celestial chicken tenders. Some healthy soup, {His bottom left arm easily hefts a massive bowl upon the table.} I call it ‘Soup of the Ethereal Mists’.

{taking 1 tender and a spoonful of soup} Thank you Oz... You know I enjoy these culinary exporations...

walks in. looking for Gale

And this salad, which I call ‘Arcane Caesar Salad’.

Oh, Hey Brother smiles and waves at Oz

Oz, she's nicer to you than she is to me

Oh I suppose I'll try the salad too. But for the most part, once you've had a few, you've had them all

Shut up, Cleric

> {taking 1 tender and a spoonful of soup} Thank you Oz... You know I enjoy these culinary exporations... @Demigod Solidus Solaris (@Solidus) - jump {His little ears flick with happiness.} Da, I enjoy hearing these words. {He turns and begins on his way back to the kitchen.}

{Shad is already work through his second helping. Nearly inhaled the dish with the food.}

Oz reflects on Solidus's comment... He knows Solidus doesn't eat, so for him to take the time to try his cooking means It must have more to offer than sustinance... he... enjoys it..

{Happy hippo noises.}

{Baracus appears in the Dining Hall, having teleported from the Library. He takes some food, and returns there.}

Oh... Hi Rilith..Did everything go well with Araavos. {Not really wanting to hear about it but being polite}

I did. He has a response for you. He agrees to the terms, but....*looks at everyone*...We'll talk later...

Oh, izzat a private conversation I hear?

Yes lizard. And I'd prefer to keep it that way if I could..

Get away from me, Lizard!

{Shad smirks, and leans back in his chair; feet propped on the table.} Yeah?

GO AWAY YOU FUCKING CREEP

Hearing every little detail ~

{He reduces you in size to that of a common house lizard} Not if someone squashes you first...I don't care if you hear about how my research is going, or how fun it was to go dancing. But some things are private and WILL REMAIN SO {he says as his eyes glow with arcane energy}

{Tiny, angry lizard noises.}

gasps and blushes Gale...

Good... {as he returns you to normal size} I'm glad we understand each other...

I didn't know gale had balls

You want some too?

{Shad dusts himself off. Spits on the ground, and returns to ‘his’ seat— which is actually a few over from where he was, and not even the original seat.} Fine, keep you’re business.

That man is my husband. And he deserves respect.

Oh relax you ex nuke.... I'm only kidding..

={Vic has entered the Hall, and slips into the seat Shad was previously occupying.} Mmm, wha’ I miss?

{Vic has entered the Hall, and slips into the seat Shad was previously occupying.} Mmm, wha’ I miss?

About the same I did I'd imagine... Why is everyone so tense?

They were having a dick measuring contest. Gale won..

Astarion and Fernessa are working on their relashionship, Nazmir is figuring out her kinks, I married Gale--

{looks at gale.... } Did he now?

You all need to go… hate-fuck a cow, or something. You’re making the food taste funneh. {He mock gags.}

Yeah. Bastard used magic to take a cheap shot at me.

....Cheap Shot?....YOU LITTLE COCKROACH! YOU BETTER SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Tha’s… Hm. Yeah, not something I care about. {He turns to look at Gale.} How hard did you hit his ego?

{Shad rolls his eyes, and lowers himself onto the table. There, a pokes at a chicken tender with his claw.}

I'd imagine it barely left a dent. He's a stubborn one...

{Vic eyes Shadzaar from across the table.} Hmm, looks like a good fuck, though. So he has that going for him, at least.

(playfully):You fucking would, Vic. Slut.

{Starts to eat, instead of pretending to be disgusted.}

Aren't we all darling....

Oh bite me

Was that an offer?

....No

You know lying isn't nice... right

{Vic chuckles, hiding his mouth behind a hand.}

Oh she's just wants me to chase my prey.... that's all

Aww, what’s the matter, Rily? Vamps aren’t your style?

Careful, I teleport. Not easy to catch

fixed it

Oh, such a cunt. {He turns and addresses Astarion.} You can always take a nibble from me, Pasty Prince.

{Although uncomfortable a little by the attention she's getting, he takes solice in the fact she's his wife... and at the end of the day, regardless of what she does before, she comes home to him}

Please, everyone stop hitting on my boyfriend? When do I get a turn?....

Perhaps darling.... But you were interested in the lizard man first... Enjoy!!!

{Shad is sadly sipping some Elixir.}

Ugh, he’s moping though.

So wake his ass up and stap him out of it...

> Ugh, he’s moping though. @Victus (@Mars) - jump That was you too before I--.....Nevbermind...

What was that, Miss Holy?

Nothing

Before she wiped your memory...

Astarion!!!

ASTARION!!!

What?

{Side eye.} She what? {👁️👄👁️}

Guess she'll have to do that again now....

Want me to do it this time?

Please...

{snaps}

{Vic stands up, looking a bit pissed. But is disappears in a second.} You—… what was I saying?

Victus comes too as if he dozed off for a moment..

I… was I drinking that SOLIDUS shit again?

Did you actually er......{he gets silenced by Gale} mmmmm mmmm mmmm

Yes, you really need to stop that. Remember when you almost died and was in a coma?!?

You do remember... You'd like to forget though

I… sometimes not right. {He turns to Rilith.} Rily, what just happened?

{Implants a new memory into Victus's head... He remembers being up all night at the tavern in ravenhold having fun with the local men and women He barely got any sleep so he dozed off at the table a moment.}

Oh, that’s what.

I could, but I'd ask Oz, homemeade is better than conjured

(affectionately): Of course, you man-whore...Now go upstairs

Ain't that the truth.

Only if you suck at conjuring....

Right. {Rises the Changling. From here, he goes to the Kitchen, then upstairs.}

Watch it "brother" You're not as powerful as you think you are.

But I am more powerful than you think I am.....

{Shad glances over, finally tired of playing with a cold tender. He’s listening to the possible altercation.}

You all realize at once, that if those two should clash.... It could destroy the cosmos...

Please don't fight. I like being alive. And I don't want to be caught in the inevitable crossfire...

Oh please.... we're just swinging our dicks around.... well... one of us is.. He's too prudish to ever do that...{As he winks at Rilith... knowing she has her work cut out for her and will lose their bet}

{Oz’s voice can be heard from the kitchen.} Please don’t damage my Dining Hall or Kitchen. Now more of Milo’s edibles if you do.}

I don't deal with the mundane

I with Milo was here right now....he's such a comfort.

Majin goes to the training room as he starts to train his sword skills

Have you come to hone your skills too?

Majin nods Yes ma'am.

Then perhaps you should practice with someone who fights back, not some stack of dead grass

Majin nods and takes out his hexblade Just be gentle, I'm not good with swordplay.

Another time. But the offer stands.... {as she walks away to her quarters}

{Peaks around the door, into the training room.} Uhh… ‘scuse me.

Majin turns around Hmm?

Ah think Ah’m lost.

Astarion, Gale, Araavos, Solidus, Shadowheart, Karlach, Lae'zel, and Fritz all return to their quarters. They feel compelled by outside forces to rest..

Oh. This is the training room. I can walk u around if u want.

Majin looks at Milosh Wanna go to the dining room?

@Mars

Yeah, I gots some special baked goods for a, uh, “Shad-zaar?”

Majin nods and takes u to the dining room

Oh, Ah see now. Ah took a left, instead of a right. {He pats Majin on the back.} Thanks, bud!

Milo, you're here!!! pauses for a moment Did I teleport you? My magic has been a little...off as of late...

I think u did. Although he said he had special baked goods for Shadzaar

Naw, I just forgot to give the lizard his “Thanks for shopping at Milo’s Bakery” basket.

Okay, but once you're done, I wanna talk to you, friend

Well yeah, duh!

Shadzaar! Package!

{He gets out of his seat, and comes to get the package.} Yeah, thanks, Horseman. {He leaves the Dining Hall and goes to get high in Library.}

Welp! {Claps hands together.} Watchu wantin’ to talk about?

takes Milo's hand in a friendly and caring gesture So much as happened since we last spoke...I got married! To a human wizard!

Later on in the evening..

So... what's for dinner?

Some Ghost Theme?

Majin just waits foor the food I don't know but smells good. smiles I've been working on my swordplay.

This will suffice...

Wait. Did someone say Garlic Bread?

sits down Sounds good. Ghostly Garlic Bread...*pauses looking at Astarion. definately thinking of Vampire sterotypes*...

None of you touch me......

I'm sorry!!!! I promise I'll make sure I clean myself to avoid allergies, okay?

Oh shit. Uhm...I still have some tenders in my bag of holding...

Goodness, does no one accommodate dietary restrictions?

looks at Nazmir I mean, I eat anything.

The nerve of you people.... sitting there.... eating garlic... RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!! {He takes a large bite out of the garlic bread} And then...{munches} you guys have the nerve {still chewing} to actually serve it to me?

** VISIBLE PANIC **

Well I hope your happy...{he proceeds to overdramatically pretend to die....

Is that all it takes?

{stickes his toungue out to really sell it, but points it towards Gale}

glowing membranes widen as if his eyes were getting wide It doesn't kill him? I think it just the smell. I mean, it does have a bad smell sometimes.

Clearly. the Vampire is faking

Nope... totally dead over here

after realizing the joke ....Oh! nervous laugh I knew it...

No you didn't, but your glad not all stereotypes are true

If you want to really sell it Astarion.... I can make it true...

PLEASE DON'T!

I know that crosses don't work either. But I think I heard some people say that it just confuses vampire eyesight cause of the geometric shape. looks at Asterion Is it true?

{immediatly sitting up} Nope I'm good thank you very much.... just let that be a lesson to not believe everything you read in those novels of yours....

laughs Then what rumors are true?

Somethings are true though. Holy water is a no..... flowing water can become acidic, which is why I bathe not shower....and a wooden steak through the heart..... well that'll kill anyone.

I thought that just paralyzes u like a statue. refers about the stake to the heart

Running Water burns you? I never heard that before.

Majin nods That is why u never wanna throw a vampire to sea.

So should sunlight but I've gotten immunity to that thank the heavens.

I'm glad you do. But how'd you get said immunity?

And yes, some vampires can survive a steak to the heart only getting paralized, most of them die though

It's a long story, and he'll make it longer....

Only about 100 hours

....Do Tell? scoots closer

Short version? Alien abduction, space squidward, giant brain, tadpoles

What's Squidward?

Majin looks at Araavos Oh. He got abducted by Mindflayers?

A humanoid squidlike thing....

OH! A MINDFLAYER! Why'd you say squidward?

Best you drop that

You're right

Majin whispers to himself I hope Karlach notices that I've been training...

hears and whispers: Careful not to creep her out with all that attention

still whispers: I'm just helping a friend

*inner thoughts (I sincerely hope he screws up...)

Majin gets up Well. I'm going to sleep. Take care. goes to his quarters and goes to sleep

Goodnight then. shrugs

I wonder where he's headed off too

Well I'm off to the study

Same here. Says he's going to sleep

Can I come with you?

Of course

Good

{Solidus enters the study} So... what's on your mind?

I had a few questions.

Go on

Why are you never interested in sex? I always wondered.

It's all just so.... mundane..

Mundane? Why?

Isn't there far more more interesting pursuit's that merely pleasure?

I guess, but it's nice one in a while, yknow?

I actually wouldn't know, not first hand anyway. I mean sure, I've studied every position there is, every erogenous zone of every species on every realm. From a technical standpoint I have more knowledge about sex, and pleasure than any being ever has. Araavos invluded. I just never felt a need to use it

Wouldn't' you like to prove your theories?

I don't see what the point of that would be, I'm always right.

He usually is... but..... even proof must be shown at some point. Otherwise it stays a theory and not a fact..

Well theories need to be proven, right?

Only to those whom wish to verify the results..

Did he just?

I voulenteer to verify

So you wish to persue the true limits of pleasure and intimacy? Are you sure you're up to the task? There is a lot of things I've theorized.. {He goes on to explain at least 30 diifferent experiences you didn't even realize were possible... some you did... some you've done... But most of them... There's no way in hell that would work}

Yep.

And when did you wish to get started?

Whenever possible?

I have eternity.... let me know when you are available

I'm not doing anything right now

A vortex appears and beyond it you see his personal Demiplane, exquisite in every way. Sheets made of a material somehow softer than the finest of silk, decor you've never seen before, books on every subject you could imagine, his bed is made of literally nebulous clouds. The ceiling a literal galaxy unto it's own... It's not just a small demiplane like you've seen others cast, Even Araavos's pleasure room can't compare to the elegance of this place.

Shall we?

*(....Wow...) As I'll ever be.

I hope you have learned all that you came to know.... for now.

I did. I shall let you know when they're ready.

Very well then.... Goodnight
