//Fated Campaign !!!

If there are any mistakes in this... lemme live a life of ignorance my friends ;') <3

I have so many half-finished drafts I'm so annoyed- I just randomly stopped this one that was already nearly finished?? It's been here for so long- This is ended pretty badly but I cannot be arsed with continuing to add and change this draft it's been in my drafts mocking me-
If I have any motivation at a later date, I'll probably change the ending, but I also like to end it as abruptly as the scenes did in the Fated, yk? They like say a dumb line and call the scene there? Idk-

SPOILERS FOR ARC1 AND ARC2 OF THE FATED CAMPAIGN!!

Specifically, set after ARC2 EP28 !!

I have the idea that Br'aad tried not to be visibly sad often because of his guilt of Sylnan giving a bunch to keep him safe and happy. He tries to keep being all goofy and shit all the time in front of people, as if being any other way is acting ungrateful towards Sylnan's many sacrifices.

That kinda shows in a few parts in this >:)

There are no happy hc's of Br'aad in my head.

(this is a lie I only want him to be happy-- in fact I at the end of this I give the Vengolor bros a b r e a k and give Sylnan a break with his whole possessed by asshole demon thing to cheer his baby brother up >:)) I swear I can be nice to them-)

I fear this campaign just brings out the childish side of me? In terms of blatant dick jokes- Hilltree draws a penis and laughs his ass off. I love him <3

I also can't remember when they set the party for, so I've set the time like late afternoon turning evening :') If it's inaccurate, so is the rest of this fic, lemme live /nm

TW// food mention, (if there are any others, please lemme know!)

"Thanks for the party."

The once brightly decorated cabin of the ship had now been ruined, parts of cake still covered the wooden floorboards, and balloons had been freed of their weights, floating to the top of the ceiling before disappearing completely. The conjured lights and other small details had also long since been dispelled, the caster far too upset to keep the concentration for them. The caster in question, of course, was Br'aad Vengolor. He was motionless on the floor, head hanging low enough for his hair to hide his face. Those around him didn't need a visual of him to know he was crying.

Velrisa said nothing, instead making small efforts to tidy up where she could without disturbing Br'aad. She did, however, shoot a small glare at Mountain, which prompted the dwarf to break the tense silence.

"I uh... M'sorry. 'Bout the cake and... everythin'. He deserved it, but uh-"

Br'aad sniffled, head still low, "Y-You didn't need to throw t-the whole cake... the whole thing, Mountain, I..."

Mountain supposed he could understand how escalated things had gotten, and sure, the whole cake didn't need to be thrown at Sylnan. But on the other hand... "Well, he was bein' a dick, so... I-I wasn't really thinking about how much cake I was throwin'... It was just seeing the cake, take it, throw it... it was either that or I punched him, I-" Velrisa shot another look to Mountain, helping him to hurry up with what he was attempting to say. "Either way, m'sorry this whole thing didn't work out. I'll uh- I'll go."

Br'aad slowly lifted his head, watching as Mountain shuffled awkwardly out and up the stairs, most likely trying to get to any place but here. He also caught a small and silent interaction between Taxi and Velrisa, watching as Velrisa nodded to the tabaxi, taking whatever she had managed to grab and tidy with her as she too left, departing with a soft-spoken apology. From what little Br'aad could see, she had cleared up quite an impressive amount. A second after she left, Taxi joined Br'aad on the floor, crouching next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
