Spoilers possible for Critical Role

[An amused tefling is shuffling tarot cards with one hand as he smiles]

Oh my sweet Mun you do feel drawn to tragic stories don't you? Not that I mind...I was assuming you'd lean more toward Caleb then me? But then again you love the charming ones too. Maybe this could be interesting after all. who knows?

[Cue a soft spoken weird Goblinthing because I'm rapidly catching up to the finale of Crit Role]

Is this Caleb person more tragic then you?

[Molly smiles at the little one.]

He has suffered, yes...but it's made him so much stronger.

Is that how it works?

People tell me that I have suffered because of being in a Goblin tribe but I don't think they were too different from any other tribe.

Does that mean people think I am strong?

Was your tribe treated differently because of who they were?

I was....most of my friends were...that is one form of suffering.

Hmm...maybe?

I suppose they did tend to avoid me because of my abilities. My tribe did not trust the Booyahg.

[She's used to having to explain what Booyahg is so she looks around for a moment producing a dandelion. With a deep breath she blows on it and using some druid craft causes the floating seeds to pop into puffs of more dandelion heads that float through the air towards Molly.]

[Molly looks delighted and reaches out to grab one of the seeds.]

What lovely magic you have......much more interesting than mine. Less dangerous too it seems.

But yes...being treated as lesser than is a small form of suffering.

Caleb suffered a bit more than that.

[She beams at the compliment, her skin even starting to glow which causes markings to appear similar to stars along her large head.]

Then it makes sense he would be stronger if he suffered more. He's very lucky!

What kind of things does your magic do?

[Molly chuckles a little and there is a sadness to it.]

My magic comes from my blood...it's not as lovely as yours little goblin.

That does sound painful.

But if that pain makes you stronger that's good too right?

[She's studying him very carefully still glowing faintly. Rolling for perception and all that.]

I like your horns. Kind of like a crown.

It all depends on the cost.

[Molly is going to come across young to any perception...almost like he has had his mind reset more than once and had to relearn the world.]

Thank you....They are my best feature...at least I think they are.

Maybe your best feature on the outside.

[She squints a little studying him.]

Do you play lots of card games?

[Points at the tarot deck]

On the outside...and do you see the inside as well little goblin?

[Molly grins and flicks a card out of the deck with ease.]

You can play games with these....but they can also tell the future.

I try to.

[She gasps and her eyes go wide.]

Can they really? I sometimes can see the future in the stars, but never here in my hands.

[She waggles her pudgy little goblin fingers.]

Sometimes they can reveal the future...but sometimes it's just a game.

[Molly can't always control when the readings feel more real, but he knows when it's about to happen. Like the Moonweaver herself is tapping him on the head]

It all depends on the mood.

Games can be fun, even if it's not the future.

[She produces a glittering white rock. It looks worn and not quiet spherical, almost like a dodecahedron but a longer shape.]

This is a piece of the moon I think. It fell out of the sky into my mountain and I can sometimes use it to see the future. But it might just be more booyag.

[Molly lights up when he sees it.]

It seems the Moonweaver has blessed you then little goblin. It is not often she gives a peace of herself to the world.

[She beams, practically glowing when he seems to appreciate it as much as she does. She hugs the rock close and it makes little spots of light on her head glitter almost like stars themselves.]

My tribe doesn't understand Booyag. But I think if this is a gift from Miss Moonweaver then I couldn't possibly turn it down.

I just wish I could give her something in return.

The moon asks for nothing in return...but our worship.

She expects us to enjoy her beauty and speak of her kindly.

I think I can do that.

[She considers for a moment.]

Last night she looked lovely, very sharp and smooth. It looks like she is smiling.

Those are my favorite nights.

I like to think she smiles on those she favors because we have pleased her so well.

[The idea that she's pleased someone just by being herself is still new and she's really enjoying all this positive reinforcement.]

There's a place in my Tribe's mountain where the water pools. They use it to drink and fish but on a good night when everything is quiet?

[She looks around like it's a secret and rises up on her tip toes to whisper at him.]

The Moon's sister comes to visit. Right there in the water!

[Molly smiles delighted by the secret and unwilling to explain the reason behind reflections and ruin the magic]

That is wonderful. She likes to bathe in the pool I am sure.

Do you visit with her?

I do. I'm not as loud as my kin so it's nice to have someone as quiet as I am.

But when I do talk with her I tell her about my day, stories my brother has told me. But often we just sit and enjoy each other.

Someday I think I'd like to visit her in her home.

Not everyone should be like the people they know.

I...I'm not the person I was before.

Perhaps she will bless you in that way.

Maybe you're right.

[She squints at him a little trying to suss out what the opposite of him might be.]

Did you not like who you were before?

I don't remember much of who I used to be....but others knew that me and....I didn't like what they told me.

That's too bad.

I like the you that I've met. So hopefully they'll like you as well.

And hopefully you like the you I've met?

[Molly grins and does a little spin so that his multicolored coat spins]

Little goblin I adore this me...I feel like this is the me I've always been meant to be.

[She applauds excitedly at the twirl.]

Destiny can be a beautiful colorful thing!

And I do like colors...in fact do you have a favorite color?

[She gets a very serious look on her face. This is clearly a matter of great internal debate. But she also knows it's the sort of thing one usually knows the answer to.]

I love them all for different things but I do love purple.

[Molly grins.]

I have always enjoyed purple myself...given purple teflings like me are rare.

It's like your skin is the night sky.

[Ah that's why she chose it.]

And your pictures are the pictures the stars make when the clouds are clear.

Yes that's right....aren't you smart...Nott would like you.

She's a goblin too...at least she was when I knew her.

My mun says she's changed.

More changes.

[This seems to excite her given the nature of their conversation so far.]

A change for the better maybe? Like us?

My friends have changed a lot since I last saw them yes.

Yes...she became who she was before we knew her...a halfing.

[Big eyes, she's never heard of that sort of Booyag.]

A goblin becoming a halfling?

[She considers for a moment.]

Did she get tired of green?

It's complicated according to my mun...but apparently my friend was cursed.

It's a sad story.

A curse, the worst kind of Booyag.

For a beautiful Goblin maid to be cursed with such soft round cheeks, flat square teeth. Halflings don't even see well at night.

For her yes...she spent so much time away from her family because of it.

No they do not..but I don't think she missed dark vision once she lost it.

I know I would.

Oh...family heartache.

[She thinks of her brother and sympathizes with this poor Goblin who was cursed to be a halfling.]

There are too many nice things to see in the dark, like bugs and rodents and people sleeping. But I guess some people make do.
