(Astarion is a little surprised to wake up in a proper bed, and a little more surprised to see Shadowheart looming over him, smiling.) Shadowheart: Rise and shine, fangs. We’re hitting the lava beaches later. Here, Yurgir’s friend said to give this to you. Hurry up, we’re having waffles! (She leaves. Astarion stares at the bottle she gave him. “Elixir of SPF 850.”) Yurgir: My buddy here uses lemon-lime soda instead of egg. You can taste the result for yourselves. S: Gods yes, I could eat this all day. (Astarion shuffles into the dining room, still a bit groggy and still silent.) Karlach: Eyyy! Morning, vamp! Pull up a seat. Even you won’t be able to say no to these waffles. Wyll: Yes, the neighbors were less than understanding about our jam session last night, so our friend here put their blood in your batch. K: You gotta try it, Astarion! Like I say, dwarf goes with everything! W: And in hers. Astarion: Oh, um… thank you. (They eat for a while, most everybody chatting happily and laughing, but Astarion is uneasy.) S: Something the matter? A: It's just… weird. How are we all getting along so well? Y: We’re all friends, what of it? A: Well, for starters, I fed you to a pack of rats! Y: That? Well, I’m not as upset about it since Raphael caught a… _social ailment_ and something precious to him fell off. Heh heh. He’s still wailing! A: Really?! That’s kind of funny. But Karlach, I made your voice break again! K: Ehh, if I’m bein’ honest, I had it coming. Wasn’t nice, my laughing at you. A: You, Wyll, you *sliced her head off* earlier! W: It turned out all right. A: Look, why is everybody being so damned NICE?! S: Well, we weren’t very nice to the neighbors. (Astarion hyperventilates. He’s losing it with panic.) A: Something’s wrong. This is a trick! A spell, an illusion, shapeshifters, mind control! GORGYLES! SLYKICKS! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?! (Yurgir’s friend walks up to Astarion and gestures for him to follow. They walk down the hall.) A: All right, out with it! Explain this! (The friend points to a glowing rectangle on the wall. It reads:) *USER PROFILE: Nick Sus* *DOWNLOAD HISTORY:* *Brimstone Cabana Camp* *Max Approval and Attitude* *Mjolnir Hammer* *Sunscreen Elixir* *Breakfast Alchemy* A: Mods! Well, that explains it. (He allows himself a smile.) You _filthy_ cheat! But what about- (Nick points further down the list:) *VD Is For Everybody, Or At Least For Haarlep* A: Ha ha. Ahahaha! Oh, I do like your style. _You and I_ are going to be thick as thieves, my friend. That is… we _are_ friends, aren’t we? (Nick grins widely. They walk back.) A: Now, how about you share that waffle recipe?

lol perfect 😊
