Context: The party is just outside of a village dedicated to Eldath, I (Elf Tiefling monk), an Elf cleric(who lived in the village) and Dwarf barbarian are petting a bunny while the Human swashbuckler is picking flowers (passing time while I conversed with Eldath originally) and the halfling divination wizard (who Pre rolled a 1 and a 2 for the day) is coming back from a tavern.
Rogue: yaaaaar, I am going to go find a kitten and pet it.
DM: okay, roll for Nature
Rogue (confident after a Nat 20 for flowers): … Nat 1
DM: not only do you not find any cats, you are convinced they don’t exist.
Rogue: What’s a cat again?
Wizard: you know, cats, wait… I am going to look for cats
DM: okay, go ahead and roll
Wizard (already rerolled his 1 and we use a luck economy in our seshes): NAT 1!
DM: congrats, you also believe cats don’t exist…
Wizard: what are we looking for again?
Me (an intellectual): Wait… Don’t do this to me… Cats are real right!?!? I LOOK FOR A CAT (rolls a 3) WHERE ARE THE CATS!?!?
Barb (with the braincells): I go to find a cat (rolls a 16)
DM: you find a black cat and brin—
Wizard (cuts off): I turn that into a 1!
DM:… Sorry Marmora… Cats don’t exist to you either

DM: …(waits)… Okay, she comes back with tw–
Wizard: ITS A 2 NOW
Cleric: I… I can’t seem to find any… This is bad… We need to consult the elder!
Me(in tears with the bunny on my head between my horns): IM COMING WITH!!!
Me(a “respected” member of the community): Theresaaaa, are cats reeaaaaal???
Cleric(to the elder): it’s a tragedy! We can’t seem to find any
Wizard (realigned to chaotic evil as a joke): there are no cats! There never was ((ー_ー ))
Elder:… (Picks up her pet cat) pretty sure they exist, her name is Fluffy, she’s very real, and if you make sure she isn’t, I’ll make sure you don’t exist either!
Me: (rolls an 18 in animal handling and holds up the cat lion king style) THEY ARE REAL! THERE IS A GOD OUT THERE
Cleric: PRAISE ELDATH! THEY ARE REAL!!!
Wizard: that’s what she wants you to believe…
Me: Pimp, don’t make me “hug” you again…
