No obligation tagging: Anyone who wants to do this, but I'll tag @apocalypsecowboy-galactrod @countslimeula @casperolivervo @ashleecraft

NAME: Beryl Timbergrove

STAR SIGN: I don't know, but going off this, she was born in Mirtul and she's 40-years-old

HEIGHT: 5'7"

DOGS OR CATS: Cats

DREAM TRIP: She would love to visit Neverwinter.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: She likes to have at least two. She gets cold easily.

RANDOM FACT: Beryl has no idea where she was actually born. She has mommy issues and they don't talk. Not very often, anyway, and it's never heartfelt. Her mother was an adventurer who didn't stop adventuring even while pregnant. It's anyone's guess where she's actually from. Her earliest memories are being raised by a halfling woman (who was not her mother) in Friendly Arm. Her mother isn't dead, just disinterested.

NAME: Theresa Siân Chastain

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: About 6 hours.

DOGS OR CATS: Dogs, technically? She's all about wolves and foxes. She's the maniac who has a winter wolf as a pet.

DREAM TRIP: She'd love to visit home again, but Gale has gotten her curious about Waterdeep. She'd probably visit Waterdeep first.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: One. Most places outside of the Cold Lands are too warm for more than one. She only has the one because it feels weird to not have any blankets.

My Dnd party!

When you see him look him in the eye,

This is going off my personal roleswap, where Audrey is the Bard, Kiwi is the Witch, and Miriam is the Hero

Audrey landed back on Earth with a huff. Her arms crossed over her chest, red hat slipping down a bit as she pouted. All that work in singing ghosts away and learning the Overseer song… only for the King of Hearts to refuse her the Earthsong. Useless!

Sure, there were others, but why bother with them? She wasn’t a hero, and she wasn’t planning to be one. She preferred singing to saving the world, thank you very much. She stood, ready to go back to her home in defeat, when a large shadow passed her overhead.

She jumped, managing to grab her hat and scarf only a second before the breeze followed the shadow. Her eyes traced its path to the road to town, where a massive white bird had landed.

Climbing off that bird was a…witch. Wizard? Warlock. She landed on warlock to describe the person in a long green cloak and a pointed green hat that happened to be sliding off the giant white bird. The warlock smiled, humming to the bird in such a beautiful voice Audrey was jealous.

Nonetheless, she stormed towards this warlock - only because they were blocking her way home, obviously! She was forced to stop a few feet away from the warlock, arms crossed and foot tapping on the ground.

“Uh, hey, nerd in a weird hat?” Audrey tilted her head, gaining the warlock’s attention with her sharp words. “You’re in the way.”

The warlock blinked at her, before breaking out into a grin. “You’re the bard, right? The one that sang all the ghosts away?”

“I don’t see how that’s relevant to you being in my way.” She rolled her eyes, straightening her back. 

The warlock frowned a bit, and Audrey had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep herself from instinctively apologizing. They were just so cute. “Well, I uh… I was hoping to learn the Overseer song from the bard, as I heard they knew it.”

“Well duh, of course I know it. My… mentor used to sing it for me when I was young.” She ran a hand through her hair in annoyance, just wanting to leave. “But that dumb Overseer refused to teach me the stupid Earthsong, citing me being not the Hero. So I’m going home.”

She tried to get around the warlock, but they grabbed her arm. “You’re… giving up?”

“Uh, yeah? No point going to the other Overseers if they’re not gonna teach me their songs.”

“But they will! I’m sure of it!” This warlock seemed… way too optimistic. “You should come with me to talk to them! I know we can make it work!!”

Audrey gave the warlock a long, loooooong look.

“Yeah, no.”

She shoved past the warlock, ducking under their bird and heading back towards Langtree. However, halfway down the path, the ghosts reappeared.

Audrey prepared herself to sing them away again, but… it felt like something was different this time. She could understand them, could hear what they were saying. And the ghost in the center…

Redheart

“Ruby?”

Audrey’s voice shook as her mentor shifted from being just an amalgamous white blob to her human looks.

Redheart, what the heck are you doing?

“Ruby, I… I don’t know-”

Go with the Warlock, Redheart. Be the Hero I raised you to be.

“It’s so hard without you, Ruby.” Audrey reached out for her mentor, forgetting the warlock that was watching from behind her.

Go.

And with that, the ghosts all vanished. Audrey was reaching into air, finding nothing behind her hand. She slowly closed her fist, keeping the tremor in her shoulders from spreading throughout her body.

Ruby had always said she could be a hero, if she dropped the negative attitude. If she picked up the faith in this world that she had lost, then she could make it better. 

So, with a heavy heart, she turned to face the warlock.
