Critical Role Animatic - Tracy

[@onecrazypig8423]

I couldn't help but feel bad for this guy. He seemed so proud of himself for possibly getting a date with "Tracy."

[@inkdd1463]

Forever alone face... activate

[@Undomaranel]

Let's be honest... this is how everyone gets left by the Mighty Nein. From the Bad Luck Bandits to Orly to The Ruby to the Bright Queen. They're good for a bit wiht interaction, only for the M9 to cut and run or sidle away expecting favors. Molly said to leave everywhere better than they found it, and they do, only to destroy some part of it by their acts (cough Nicodranus' power supply cough). The only people who seem to have escaped that curse are the volcano forge family and Cad's family.

Hupperduke seemed relatively unspoilt

[@aaronlaws2573]

Undomaranel lol Nicadranus was built on slavery I definitely think they left that place better than they found it. Find another way instead of enslaving a creature.

[@SPACEHARICE]

knowing him hell yeah

[@ShardReaper]

GOD

[@gyrrakavian]

Beau will have a few options when that happens; 'it was my twin sister', 'I was undercover on Cobalt Soul business', fessing up, or just brutally ignoring him.

[@Grey_Shard]

@@gyrrakavian it'd be funnier (and also a possibility if Marisha thinks it'd be more entertaining) for Beau to start hiding as this guy pops up. Heh. Maybe he's a spy from the drow that had been using a disguise or item to hide his identity. Maybe even turn out to be Vedalla - spy for the Bright Queen

[@danniemiesse4643]

Watching Matt and Marisha spar like this is always hilarious. "I saw a little smirk; it's totally haunted" A lunge with a stab! "So where are you staying?" A vicious riposte! "you probably could't afford it..." A coldblooded parry! XD

[@135mikerules23]

Gotta wonder how much Matt thought to himself: “Just like when we first met”

[@BlueSun_]

When they first met they were both in relationships with other people and didn't talk much (group setting). So probably not.

Just watched that episode for the first time and I felt the air get knocked out of me when she said that lol

[@Verbose_Mode]

Awww, you left out the best part! *_"WHO THE • • • • IS TRACY?!"_*

I love the idea of Beauregard “Level 30 Lesbian” Lionett just hitting on this guy, forgetting about him, and 10+ episodes later suddenly seeing him again

And if they still aren't convinced, the scene with her and Fjord at the party where she's "high", comedy genius. I put that up there with Scanlan's love potion.

I love this scene, seeing it animated makes it even better. Can’t help but feel bad for him, especially when Beau said you probably can’t afford it

[@jetvulcan2020]

Beau hates that part as well. If you watch the talks Machina for this episode and the one after it. Matt and Marisha both explain this is like Beau Channeling every spoiled girl she has ever met and hated in her youth. In the game the next bit is Beau shock and disgusted with what she had channeled for this ending with Beau saying "Who the F@&% is Tracy

[@jennyduong2466]

Yes I watch Critical Role and Talks Machina regularly so I saw it happen. Poor Marisha did what she had to do.

[@sabreman8546]

Can we all just appreciate the level of acting here? Marisha is role-playing a character, who is, in turn, role-playing a different character. How tf does one even do that properly!?

[@shealupkes]

Helps when all you're really doing is hitting on your partner

[@TheBlarggle]

I love that you animated Fjord giving Beau directions with his gestures in the beginning.

[@ravenartistofficial]

Fjord is the best “wingman” XD

[@masterofthetear8138]

Oh god I forgot about the soft little "Tracy..." to himself Great animation, love how you've captured the Essence of Tracy

[@mariakristensen8289]

This is amazing! I love the little detail that the guards wristwatch is a sun clock

[@beebalmbadil]

Seconded

[@seeker296]

in reality that wouldn't work. a sundial has to be calibrated to a specific position on the planet & I think varies with season as well

[@dantevitale5714]

To this day I believe that Beau's true character arc is exactly that of Ryu from Street Fighter's. Except that the dark energy she is suppressing isn't an evil murderous intent but is instead an evil power that turns her into Tracy.

[@kingskelett6265]

Beau before the approach: Tracy? Yeah, good cover name, let's go with it. Beau while acting like like Tracy: "woow, yeah you know..." (internal screaming) Beau after the approach: "I think that [Tracy] was a part of that I just really hate!" M9: "soo..." Beau again: "NEVER TALK ABOUT TRACY AGAIN, EVER!"

[@pyrosianheir]

Hahaha, the icy cold PANIC is Beau's face as that guard tried to get a date with "Tracy" was amazing. As is this whole exchange, really.

[@gojirra987]

"You know this person, don't you?" That person knew who they were. They knew.

[@Acebender]

Beau tries really hard

[@Bloodyshadow1]

i mean if beau came up to me like this I would be seduced too, but then again I am but a simple lesbian

[@ailish7649]

Beau’s nervous laugh at 3:30 is SO GOOD

[@p0pp4]

I always got the impression that "Traci", with an I, was what Beau always thought her folks wanted her to be. A vapid Barbie-girl that many men would adore as a mate.

[@Constructinator]

These are great. If you're looking for suggestions, I think it'd be funny to see the M9's encounters with that small group of thugs they first met early on, and happened upon a few more times.
