#and there's the whole extra layer of not having found Caduceus and Essek yet

Something about the early joke of 'We lost two' explaining why there are only seven members of the Nein hurts, because they did lose two of them (Molly and Yasha (and it being the circus kids who were lost/taken is a whole separate conversation)) but the remaining members fought tooth and nail to get them back, and they did, so at the end there were truly nine members of the Nein, and it all being improv and unplanned makes me completely feral.

#critical role #mighty nein #I love them so much and their name is so stupid and the joke was stupid #but cyclical storytelling making it so it was true and accurate to the story they told #they were nine and lost two #and there's the whole extra layer of not having found Caduceus and Essek yet #their missing members who were lost not just from the Nein but lost in the narrative waiting to be found #members who both shaped the story and were shaped by the story before the Nein ever knew them #I hate it #I love it #it's so good
