What? Are you all -- ?

Is he also?!

[ POINTING AT ASTARION LIKE. ARE YOU A FUCKING SET PIECE? WHAT? GENUINELY JUST FLABBERGASTED INTO HAVING SOME REAL EMOTIONS HERE! ]

[ looking fastly away from astarion. he can't violate fantasy hippa like that but i think that's pretty much an answer. ]

I, erm, well. Um.

[ tadpole gang ... ]

[alldoomnogloom]

I will say, this is rather more emotion than I had about the actual event happening to my cerebral cortex, but I suppose it's not a competition.

[recession]

I think they usually call this "shock". The injured are sometimes less affected as a coping mechanism.

Please speak up if you start to feel anything... weird.

[alldoomnogloom]

I'll be quite honest with you, the "weird" line has long since been crossed, probably around the time I was able to start wielding illithid psonics and the ability to telepathically communicate.

But as of now, it has been rendered inert, so weirdness will be reported post-haste.

[recession]

You know what I meant.

But yeah, good to know.

[ Jesus, you guys. ]

[ moving gale up the list of people he should never tell secrets too because their poker face just doesn’t exist, from number one to number infinity plus one. ]

[ YOU GUYS!!! ]

[ablazement]

[WELL YOU NEVER ASKED HOW THEY ALL MET]

[recession]

[ THIS IS HOW YOU MET? ]

...Things you don't want to have in common with others...

[alldoomnogloom]

Believe it or not, it's a good thing?

[recession]

A misery loves company, sort of deal?

[ Easier to talk to a doctor if you have others exhibiting the same symptoms? ]

[alldoomnogloom]

A misery loves the ... erm, "artifact" that shields our minds and prevents us from being brought under the sway of a powerful controlling force, if we stick around one another sort of deal.

[ablazement]

Yeah, what Gale said. We wouldn't have met if not for. That.

And I wouldn't have made it out of the Hells, either.

[recession]

Maybe I should quit medicine...

[ablazement]

Aww, come on, this is so not the worst thing there could be.

[ISN'T IT]

[flameguard]

[ suddenly feeling extremely grateful we didnt run into any brain tadpoles in hell ]

[haematocritical]

[ don’t point at him. ]

It’s hardly important for you to know everything about us, whether this place thinks otherwise or not.

[recession]

I think it's a bit too late for that now.

[ He really is going to quit medicine at this rate. ]

[haematocritical]

[ apparently it is… ]

It’s not something your medicine could’ve fixed, regardless.

[recession]

Just saying that doesn't make me suddenly stop being concerned, I hope you'll understand.

[ Ee-yikes, guys. Sorry this is apparently the BASE PLOT OF BG3. ]

[haematocritical]

[ try harder. ]

Well, saying that doesn’t make them magically vanish either so I suppose we’re at an impasse. [ of caring and tadpoles. ]

[recession]

Sorry that I care, or something.
