WHO: Lethe + You
WHERE: YOUR DOOR
WHEN: day 79, night

[Blissfully unaware of the fact that there was just a ritual, tonight Lethe is paying a visit to each barn. If no one answers the door (valid tbh), he'll just slip a few pages of information under the door with a note that says: "Please direct any questions, complaints, and commentary to Lethe."

If you do answer the door, though, he'll hand it to you directly!]

Hi there! I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to pass this out before something else crazy happens. It's some notes we compiled from the board game ritual and a little bit we've discovered about Blossom's past. If you have any questions I can do my best to answer them too.

It was about two weeks ago. I didn't see who ran it, though it looked like Red was the one who summoned whatever demons it was. But it would have been the demon running the ritual that gave out the memories, as far as I know.

[reportinastorm]

Interesting...

[notes that down for follow-up]

You mentioned the memories being more supporting evidence for the Wolf King being driven mad by nightmares, but this the first I've heard of that. What was the other evidence for that?

[mykidisthebest]

The horrible amalgamations of fanged beasts roaming the mists are the big one...

[reportinastorm]

What do they have to do with the Wolf King's mental state?

[mykidisthebest]

They're all connected to him. Like a hivemind of sorts.

[reportinastorm]

Really? That's important information to know...

[hmmmm]

...Why nightmares specifically, then?

[mykidisthebest]

It would probably be easier to explain if I know what you know. Just so we're on the same page. Do you know about the dream factories and nightmare factories? Someone on Thistle must have that in their notes.

[reportinastorm]

I've read everything in the clinic book, and all of Tyr's notes, which include some information passed on from Lupin or Charon. That seems to be a lot more than most people know, but I have no way to tell how comprehensive it is.

I know that in the past there were factories where sheep processed dreams and wolves processed nightmares... but I don't know any more details, or if or how the Wolf King was directly involved.

[mykidisthebest]

We don't have a ton of specifics on the situation, just general facts. The Wolf King and his court of fanged beasts were in charge of the nightmares. We mostly mention the wolves since that's what we run into, but there's also a snake around that likes to cause trouble.

[reportinastorm]

The Weeds' snake, or a different one? Does he work with the nightmares...?

My question was where the theory of the Wolf King being driven mad came from, since most of the things I've heard about him have focused on anger and revenge rather than inflicted insanity. If some external factor has compromised his mind, then resolving things isn't just going to be a matter of correcting the misunderstanding about Blossom. That would be a major factor to consider.

[mykidisthebest]

The Weeds' Snake is the one I'm thinking of, yeah. I don't know of any other ones. He's just a kid, so I doubt he knows anything about nightmares specifically.

I don't have any information on the Wolf King that isn't in the clinic's book already, so I can't answer that one for you. Blossom would be able to clarify that, though. You can always ask her.

[reportinastorm]

Right.

[SIGHS]

Then, my last question is about your priest. How did Lily figure out what options you did or didn't have? No one on Thistle knows where we'd even start on that. Or why we'd want to, actually.
