Another thing they have to keep in animation is the disguises Caleb casts on everyone to go into the Beast City in Xhorhas. All of these disguises are particularly wonderful, we have a return of the twins and Taliesin going full Jim Henson, but specifically this:

Beau: Can you make me a dude tiefling? A red, shifty-looking tiefling? Red skin, deep eyes. 

Matt: There you go. You are a red tiefling. It's pretty accurate as you can envision, at least what you can see of yourself. You don't really have any reflective surface to check, but based on this, not bad. 

Beau/Marisha: I check my pants.

Matt: You're a dude tiefling. Since Caleb's really only seen one dude's tiefling before-- (laughter and applause). Long may he reign indeed.

Travis: Holy shit.

Laura: He's only seen one dude's tiefling. 

Beau: Why is just my dick purple? I don't understand. There's a gradient. 

Liam: It's just a sunny-side up egg.

Beau: My happy trail has an ombre. This is incredible! 

Matt: The benefits of the tiefling. 

Sam: Long and wide may he reign! 

Matt: Anyway.

(AI-less) Whumptober Prompt 6: Mind Control

(Having to do this on mobile cuz my laptop decided to die on me. Decided to torment an OC, say hello to Alistor! Also I don’t know how good this is, just got off of work and am ✨exhausted✨ hope you enjoy nonetheless!)

~~

Prompt 6: Mind Control

“Wake Up,”

Alistor groaned. His head pounded. His neck felt stiff. He tried to bring his hands to his face to rub the grogginess away, only for them to be stuck. He was suddenly much more aware. His eyes shot open as he pulled at his restraints. A light chuckle across from Alistor got him to stop moving. He looked up slowly to see an elegant woman sitting across from him. Suddenly his memory came back to him.

The banquet celebrating the King. The petite woman eyeing him from across the room. Following her out of the ballroom and into the garden. Her warm smile before darkness.

His breathing increased as he pulled against his reatraints again, snarling, “You,”

She smiled sweetly at him, “Me. Happy to see you remember,”

“What are you doing?” Alistor snapped.

With a sigh, she smoothed the front of her dress and stood from her seat, “My job,”

Alistor furrowed his brow and watched her as she slowly approached him. She slowly walked around him and gently placed both hands on his shoulders. Alistor tried shake her hands off but she held fast.

He felt her breath tickle his ear before she spoke. “All I need you to do is relax,”

Alistor’s heart raced as he felt her magical suggestion fall over him. He squeezed his eyes shut, leaned forward and tried to force it out of his head. The woman tisked and ran her hand through his hair before grabbing a handful and yanking his head backwards.

Her voice was in his ear again, encompassing his thoughts, “Oh, don’t make it too difficult for me. Now, Relax,”

He screamed internally as Alistor felt his entire body relax. For a moment, it felt like he was harshly pulled from the forefront of his mind, making room for something else to take over. It felt like he was stuck in his own body—forced to watch himself do whatever the woman wanted of him. He stared ahead blankly, calmly, but on the inside he was thrashing about, screaming at himself to snap out of it, but it was no use.

“Good,” she purred, unlacing her fingers from his hair before gently smoothing it back. “I have a very special job for you. A job assigned to you by the King. Do you think you can do that for me?”

Alistor’s mouth moved without him wanting to. He heard his voice almost as if it were coming from under water, “Yes,”

“Wonderful,” the woman said as she moved from behind him to in front of him. She put two fingers under his chin and tilted his head upwards so he could look at her. Alistor swore she studied his face longer than necessary, basking in her victory over him. “The King knows that you aren’t as loyal as you seem. He knows that you sneak away from the Keep and serve as an informant for that pesky rebellion,”

Alistor felt his blood chill. His heart froze. He knew? All this time, was he only able to sneak out because the King let him? His heart sank deeper and deeper. He was an idiot. A fool. He led the King right to them.

“Worry not, pet,” the woman cooed, her fingers still holding Alistor’s chin. He tried to scream, to move, to bite her finger off, but he couldn’t. All he could do was watch in calm silence. “He’s not angry. He knows you’re just trying to find your place in this world. He’s asked me to help you back onto the correct path. By helping us eradicate the threat. By being an informant for us instead. You want to help me, don’t you?”

“I do,” Alistor heard himself say.

“Good boy,” said the woman as she pulled away and circled him again, this time bending down to undo the ropes around his wrists and ankles. She positioned herself in front of him again, “Now stand,”

Again, he forced himself to break out of her charm, to try and resist her in any way possible, and it worked. Slightly. He rose slowly and haltingly. The woman’s victorious smirk was wiped away and replaced with a quizzical look. Her eyebrow raised gracefully, a sinister smile grew as she connected the dots.

“You’re still in there, aren’t you?” She said, stepping forward before she was toe to toe with Alistor. She was at least a head shorter than him, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t powerful. She reached up and grabbed his jaw, forcing him to look down at her. She studied Alistor’s face. “Commendable, really. Looks like the King underestimated you. It’s not often that someone can resist my Blessing. Don’t worry, pet. I can fix that.”

With one smooth motion, she hit him behind the knee, sending him to the ground. She looked down at him and placed both hands on either side of his face. There was no escaping her grasp nor avoiding eye contact.

There was no way out.

Alistor felt his heart start to race in his chest. His breathing quickened as the world dissolved around him. All he could see were the woman's kaleidoscope eyes staring down at him. The way the little light in the room sifted and reflected was enchanting. He already could feel himself slipping away.

He couldn't help the tears that started to form the longer he was forced to look at her. He had failed his friends. He wanted to prove himself to be better than the King, to be a Prince of the people, not a tyrant. He wanted to be strong as he tried to find a way to dethrone the man that lied to him his entire life about the world and their place in it. Now he was going to become another cog in the machine.

A lump formed in his throat as he let out a whimper unconsciously. The woman smiled at him again. He hated her smile.

“Submit,”

The single command was the only thing that filled his ears. With that final word, Alistor felt himself drift away. He didn't have control over his own body. His mind began to warp as well. As his body relaxed, he felt every coherent thought slip away like grains of sand. He was an empty vessel.

And he would do anything she wanted. Anything.

Quotes about Taliesin's immortality - Day 5

Sam: "Taliesin, not a citizen of the United States. Also, not sure where he is a citizen of. Taliesin: "It's a country that doesn't exist anymore."

[ashleyinwondrland]

The top table not being able to control their laughter at Nott and Jester’s antics yet somehow Talisen is able to sit next to them cool as a cucumber.

Edit: wait he’s finally cracking, his face is turning red holding it is

Edit 2: he broke ! They all broke, Liam is laying on the table, Talisen I think mouthed ‘help me’ to the others while trying to contain his laugh.
