Chapter Text
Mumza gazed upon the scene before her on utter confusion. There had to be a mistake, some afterlife paper not accounted for.
There was no way that this cleric of Sarenrae was right where she was supposed to be because she was supposed to be in the Raven Queen's domain, not waking up on the plane DreamXD held dominion over.
Nonetheless, that's where Pike ended up after being killed by Glabrezu. Her body and spirit teleported away in front of her friends before they could react.
Mumza decided to look through her paperwork and stepped back in shock:
Every single member of Vox Machina was scheduled to be resurrected in DreamXD's dominion upon their death in Exandria, while being revived with three canon lives each.
It was a cosmical error that she could easily undo with the other members on Vox Machina but Pike had already died. If she undid the error, the rest of Vox Machina would be separated from Pike forever and Mumza considered that a fate worse than death.
So, she put the files of each Vox Machina member back where she had found them and set about watching over the newest arrival to DreamXD's dominion, awaiting the time where she'd be reunited with the rest of her friends.
Pike Trickfoot has joined the game
The message rang out to the server, followed by several confused onomatopoeias in the voice chat. Dream asked "Who whitelisted someone named Pike Trickfoot?"
Various shouts of "Not me!" rang through the voice chat. Dream rolled his eyes and said "I'm going to greet the new member." as he walked towards spawn.
Meanwhile, Pike was gazing around confused. Just seconds ago she felt herself die and now she was standing in a completely different location without any pain. Had she been fast tracked to the Astral Plane and this was her version of paradise? That theory made less sense the more she looked around as none of the buildings looked like buildings she had encountered before.
Dream approached her and said "Welcome to The DreamSMP."
Pike blinked a couple of times before asking "The DreamSMP?"
Dream asked "Where do you come from?"
Pike answered "Exandria."
Dream looked around as if in deep thought before he asked "Was the last thing you experienced on Exandria dying?"
Pike answered "Yes."
Dream said "Then you must have glitched onto this server. It's rare but when someone dies and tries to respawn, they end up on a completely different server."
Pike said "Oh."
Dream said "Don't worry, this will fix itself and you'll be returned to Exandria."
Pike breathed a sigh of relief as Dream said "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dream."
Pike said "I'm Pike Trickfoot."
Dream smiled at Pike and said "Let me give you a tour of this server." and allowed Pike to walk beside him. Even if she was only a temporary member, she still deserved a tour of the server.
Vox Machina kept gazing at where their friend's body was a few seconds ago. She was there a minute beforehand but after the crow landed on her shoulder, she vanished.
Tiberius said "Parden my tongue but what the fuck happened to Pike's body?"
