[ a voice catches on the shellphones, its owner blissfully unaware of how many people are about to learn more about her than she really wanted to let out. maybe something magic happened. maybe keyleth just accidentally hit a button or two and turned the thing on. maybe she forgot to turn it off after browsing, who knows! but here she is, trying to talk to her earring, and instead catching it on the shellphones. ]
You know, I tried to use the earrings when I first arrived, but it didn't work. All of you are too far away. You're still too far away, but maybe that's okay. I'll just pretend you can hear this.
[ she swallows hard, fighting tears. her voice starts out soft, normal. just keyleth. but as she speaks, it turns sad, mournful, until the weight of a grief she has only put to words in the presence of one person here on this new plane comes bubbling forth, the tears that eventually begin to slide down her cheeks echoed in her watery and shaky voice. ]
I miss you guys so much. Vex... you're like the sister I never had growing up... you're so strong and brave and smart and I admire the fuck out of you. I know you could help figure all of this out. Or at least keep me from crying so much. But you're back home with Percy by now and that's where you should be...
Pike... Sorry we kinda dumped the bakery all on you... But I've started trying to remember those recipes we all made up and altered, to make them here for the woman who took me in... She reminds me of you and Vex. I know you'd both love her.
Tary, you'd love the bookshops and you'd probably be a paladin. Not like a paladin of a god, but like the armada... If you ever come here, I'll tell you about it. Scanlan... I never really got to say thank you for what you did at the wedding. I know it was more for Vex, or just for her, but it... it meant a lot to me, too. There's never enough time, is there? ...
Grog, I really wish you were here. I could use some barbarian versus earth elemental punching or something.
And Vax... [ her voice cracks here, the weight of her grief finally overwhelming her. ] I miss you so much. I always will. [ this one's the longest pause of them all, like an echo of the way her heart keeps breaking over vax. ] I hope... I really hope you're doing okay. For whatever "okay" means...
[ she sucks in a watery, shuddering breath and then lets out a soft sigh: ]
I love you.
[ a medium-soft sob clearly muffled behind a hand sounds at the end here. it'll take her some time to notice the post and by the time she does, she's calmed enough to add on: ]
Okay well, hi I guess. I'm Keyleth. I didn't mean to just let all of that out, but since you're all here, tell me about your friends. The people important to you. Who has made a difference in your life and what were they like?
