PAPER RITUAL - END

[Bodies litter the pasture now, as the demons cackle through the air.

The blood that flowed from everyone converges on the paper flower, turning it a bright, disgusting red.

And then--something bursts from it. Another shadowy demonic beast, emerging with unfurled black wings. For those still alive, it looks something like a crow.

Black feathers scatter all over the pasture, and the voices of the demons are overjoyed. "She's returned! She's truly returned! Oh glorious day, our time has come--!"

The beast flies into the sky, easily bypassing the pasture's barrier, and simply....disappears. And with it, the oddities of the ritual.

All the remaining paper withers. and those living can hear a faint voice.

Well done, mortals. Finally you show your worth.

For the most ruthless, Rose, Daffodil, Weeds, Lily, Peony, you have our thanks.

The rest of you. . .what pleasant sacrifices you all made, hahahaHAHAHA!


And it is gone.


[OOC:
WINNERS get revived painlessly, and any special effects incurred are instantly poof, gone! BONUSES WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER/IN THE MORNING BUT YOU'LL GET SHIT FOR OUR SACRIFICES.

HOWEVER no limbs regrow if you're missing them. You gotta fix that shit yourself.

ETA WINNER BOONS
Each winning team gets the standard memory coins, along with their trees taking on the following changes/sprouting fruit:
Daffodil - Buddha's Hand.
Lily - Cherries
Rose - Pineapple (yes i know shh). But most curiously, their tree blooms into a giant rose. Not a tree with roses, a giant rose flower. It's stem is large enough to be climbed like a tree trunk, and its thorns act as branches. The fruit hands from stray leaves/petals.
Peony - Dragonfruit

WEEDS curiously, will have a strange plant growing on the grounds near their clubhouse. Uh oh are those Avocados?? Sure are.

MINI BONUSES
MOST READY KILL - Daffodil - They receive 50lbs of meat of whatever they desire. This can be a creature from home or just like. a lot of steaks. They will also find that for the next 3 ic days, they will auto-heal from any sort of injury whether they use their powers or not.

MOST 'can you lighten up a bit' - Weeds/Rose. They receive two sets of clothing; one any design in their standard fashion (ripped/suits), but the other can be in ANY STYLE so long as there is a flower of some sort incorporated into it somewhere, no matter how small.

MOST 'aren't you tired of being nice' - Peony - they'll find their Horse ability extended by 24 hours for the next 3 ic days. (tho it does not have to last that long)

MOST Survivor's Guilt - Lily - Ananke gets a knife made of pure silver, but it can be molded into any other kind of weapon.

DAFFODIL, ROSE, AND PEONY also instinctively know they can request a barn upgrade OR a community upgrade (one or the other, and it can't be something that's a deal in progress). Let Ash know what you want by Wednesday so I can incorporate in the next mingle!


Losers - Bluebell, Clover, Thistle. Oh buddies. Any dead MUST be manually put together/fixed by others, and also will incur a Paper Curse. This can either be:
-True words will appear on their body like ink/tattoos at inconvenient times
-They will become Light as Paper for two IC days and thus easily blown away/knocked down
-or have their soul trapped in an origami paper animal and just be that for a day.
SINCE THIS GAME WENT BUCK WILD this will only effect those present.]

...You guys were really upset after the ritual on the ocean a few days ago. Muffin was really exhausted, too. It can really wear you down to get beat up all the time. So I thought I'd see if it helped.
rugpull: (Bullshit rating is off the charts!!!)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeh I really hated that

I thought I was doin' good then too just like this time. Then at the end it all went to hell.

Just like this time.




oh no I developed pattern recognition.
mykidisthebest: (Make me like a charm on your necklace)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That's more of a general pattern if it's a ritual that has more than one round. They're always going to get worse.
rugpull: (You know I'm stupid right?)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Escalator.




Escalation.
mykidisthebest: ("Before it does you in")

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[looks at all of the people reviving with a fairly cold eye, for a moment.]

Escalation.

If you can avoid it, then avoid it. But obviously no one else is going to hold back on your account.
rugpull: (I'm so fucking tired of this.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
We wanted t'win....I ain't ashamed of that.

I wanted t'protect Muffin and Puddin' and Tart...
mykidisthebest: (woke up from your dream)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods]

I know it doesn't mean much when the outcome was still this bad, but you did a good job. Doing what you can is better than doing nothing at all.
rugpull: (Understood.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeh.

...m'still bummed I couldn't protect 'em though.
mykidisthebest: (no map to my own treasure)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
There wasn't an option to protect. Just to hurt. We were working with what we had. So even if you're bummed, don't let it weigh you down forever.
rugpull: (The fuck is this man saying.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe if I got a better grade in violence.

[biscuit no]
mykidisthebest: (Loose like a kid playing pretend)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't try to be cheeky about that. Being more violent doesn't protect anyone.
rugpull: (I don't understand.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I coulda made a murder deal.
mykidisthebest: (got this doom and gloom)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You would have ended up in a worse predicament if you did that. What-ifs won't change the past, either. Don't dwell.
rugpull: (This is hell.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate it bein' hopeless....
mykidisthebest: (Give me the power of man's red flower)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think of it as being hopeless, then. Think of it as prioritizing what you need to do in any given situation.
rugpull: (They're all just so dumb.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[i wanna prioritize being a winner]
mykidisthebest: (in their hand)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[gotta talk to the demons about that]
rugpull: (This is hell.)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-09 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...mgonna go eat my sorrows away
mykidisthebest: (Make me like a charm on your necklace)

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-06-09 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[...nods. yeah that's fair]

Me too, probably. Take care.
rugpull: (For what?)

[personal profile] rugpull 2024-06-10 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
You too.
