Chapter Text
Vex found herself unable to breathe as she began to collapse, her vision growing darker with each passing second as each member of Vox Machina raced forward. The last thing she saw before everything went black was a strange looking woman in a black dress with a widely brimmed hat.
It was absolute chaos on the DreamSMP. Between the burning of Ponk's lemon tree, Disc Saga and The Socializing Club Conflict there were buildings being created and destroyed. Only Pike Trickfoot noticed the message that appeared on the feed between the death messages
Vex'ahlia has joined the game
She knew what this meant and quickly raced towards spawn. There she found Vex who was looking around in a dazed and confused state. Pike said "Hey Vex."
Vex looked over to Pike and smiled before running over to give Pike a hug. Vex said "So this is where you've been."
Pike said "I wish you hadn't joined when you did, it's chaos here right now."
Vex asked "So basically normal for us?"
Pike chuckled and said "Want a tour?"
Vex'ahlia nodded and Pike began to give Vex a tour of the DreamSMP, knowing full well Dream would groan about another person 'glitching into' the server.
Every member of Vox Machina reacted differently to Vex's death:
Vax was in a catatonic state and not even Scanlan kicking his ankle could get him out of.
Grog was staring in shock because he had seen the crow on Vex's shoulder first before anyone else.
Tiberius and Keyleth were crying in each other's arms.
Percy was crying out of guilt.
And Scanlan was in a state of denial about this.
He lost the woman he loved and one of his friends practically back to back.
Who else would the gods take from him?
Who else among his friends would die?
