[GP] puppies and kitties and buns, oh my!

Not everyone had a Trinket, Vex thought during a lazy afternoon tickle fight-turned-cuddle session with her most excellent bear. In fact, most people wouldn't want a Trinket, but that was because they lacked appreciation for the finest things in life. They probably would've liked him better when he was still a cub.

Aaaaaw, Trink had been so fucking cute when he was a baby.

Baby animals were always cute. Even the dangerous ones.

Whether it was a harmless twist to her brother's penchant for pranks or a desire to shake things up a little in this resort prison that was way too quiet or hint of boredom and curiosity about the limited magic Vex had, she couldn't say, but one Conjure Animals later, and her room was full of small, fluffy, cuddly baby animals... and one much larger bear sniffing at them in confusion.

Looking very pleased with herself – and okay, a little surprised at just how many fuzzballs there were – Vex opened the door to her room. "There are lots of people here. Go make friends and have some fun."

The animals tumbled, stalk-pounced, and hopped out of her room and all over the inn looking for people to play with, and just before they were out of her sight, Vex added, "And if you see my brother... you can pee on him if you want."

[OOC: fey creatures in the form of baby animals invade the inn for an hour. have fun. feel free to link to pics or gifs of the cuteness in your tags if you'd like.]

"Oh you summoned them up, him with the other loose critters," Vax finally put together. He was only mildly disappointed. "I did think it strange that several baby bunnies have tried to piss on my boots today," he told the snake as much as his twin.

"Believe me, I know how much worse bear piss smells, and how much bigger a bladder he has." These were the sorts of things you learned quickly, traveling with a ranger and her bear. Especially when you were inclined to bicker with and play pranks on your sibling. Not that her retaliation ever taught him to think better of it the next time.

He did know exactly what she meant, though. He hadn't gone so long without nearly dying since he was a child.

...Even then, he'd always had that streak of reckless foolishness in him.

"I'm not saying I want a dragon every day," he confided, "but it has been difficult getting used to the peace and quiet of this place."

"We've all got a low-grade case of cabin fever, I think," Vax agreed. Some of them worse than others. Vox Machina without some sort of trouble dogging their heels - even on a holiday - was unheard of.

"Random animals are a mild remedy, and we fully approve," he waggled the snake a bit in her direction to suggest that it was nodding some agreement. The snake just stared and gave a flicker of its forked tongue.
