RITUAL 28 END

WHO: friends >:(
WHERE: the beach
WHEN: day 79, night

[ you wash up on the beach. ]



[ the flower seems to have...stood up? and it is playing something on its lyre. an ethereal, waterlogged voice sings in accompaniment. ]

You still do not see. How could you?

[ just like before, now that the ritual is over We Many's words no longer feel like a sledgehammer to the skull, though they're still overwhelming and multi-layered - many voices that sing as one. this time, though, they seemingly come straight from the waves themselves. ]

We know. You do not evolve, even when you survive. How could you?

[ and there's a wave of resentment that tinges the words, the bitterness almost like a physical prickling feeling on one's skin. ]

What remains, is a gift. A final peace offering.

[ and then

the "flower" collapses into a pile of unidentified fish meat. and about sixty pounds more washes up on the shore, as the tide recedes.

no booze this time, though. and no healing. mental effects will fade, though...eventually (aka whenever the player wants them to).

there's probably also some barnacles and mussels and stuff stuck to you also whoops ]

[lying on the ground, possibly curled around Yata and Odin, bleeding from a haphazardly bandaged gunshot wound in his shoulder. also probably has a broken rib or two]

[blinks up at the sky blearily, before something clicks, and he yells--]

ROSE WAS THAT YOU???

[ one(1) lion has a few wrappings around his limbs and also some blue mycelium and maybe some brainvoices

he may also be physically tied to miss chimera cake, in which case he is just lifelessly limp. except he is alive and you can tell from the little twitches in his tail and ears and fingers.

if he is not physically tied to miss cake then he is just facedown in the sand. does not bother trying to get out of the tidezone. does not bother to try going deeper into the shallows. he's just going to be here now, forever ]

[Stuffing meat into his mouth and staring out over the ocean like he might dive in at any moment.

He's gotta stay near Belle to make sure the other's wound is dealt with, though.]

[Flora wasn't doing great to begin with, but things took a turn right at the end there. She is now collapsed on the ground bleeding from a gunshot wound in her leg and various more shallow stab wounds. And shivering.]

A..Ah...

[muffin is shirtless, scraped up with cat-scratches, tied to a chimera's back, has blue mycelium spiderwebbing across his skin, and he's yelling loudly to drown out the voices in his head]

Let me go! Let me go let me go!

[He just happily dives back into the ocean despite looking like an absolute exhausted wreck. He wants to remain ONE.

Anyway, he's covered in blue mycelium and has a bunch of voices inside his head but he's fine. It's FINE. Still, to whoever is nearest-]


Have you heard about The Abyssal Deep?

Aaa - -

[ this all very unpleasant to the chimera who is washed up to shore, two teammates on her back. she kneels on all four limbs, the torso part of her body curling as she clutches her head.

her underside has barnacles also. small friends. ]

(she is. she's just resting on account of somehow drowning without actually drowning.) )

[he is also bleeding, also breathing a bit shallowly thanks to some broken ribs, but. . .!]

[nevertheless, with a flash of heatless blue fire, a semi-transparent woman appears in the air next to flora, reaching out to place her hand on the top of her head and send some healing magic pumping through her body]

[IT MAY NOT HEAL A LOT, OR IT CAN HEAL A BUNCH, PLAYER'S CHOICE]

Uuuugh. . . what an ass of a ritual. . .

[Staring down at the gunshot wound in his gut in wonder:]

Huh. That doesn't happen often.

[Is he in pain? Yes, horrifically. He's also been stabbed in his arm and has a broken rib too. But he's also kind of delirious too so.]
