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.]

[ add another person to the checking on Flora list. Maybe he looks a little chagrined, but that could also be her imagination. ]

Anything I can do?

...You could punch me a little, probably...

How bad is it? Kinda don't wanna resort to a full punch if I can avoid it.

...I don't... think any of my bones are broken anymore...?

Always good, so, uh. Okay, well, sorry about this -

[ slapping her (semi hard) on the back ]

Nngh—!

[It's definitely painful, and she lets out an involuntary noise. But she does feel better afterwards.]

...Thank you...

[ wincing in sympathy, because... yeah. ]

Don't worry about it. One of these days I'm sure the favor'll be repaid. Besides, helping heal is the least I can do.

[after a pause]

It's good you weren't here for it.

[personal profile] papartner 2024-06-14 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so?
reportinastorm: (E04-03)

[personal profile] reportinastorm 2024-06-16 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes. Our choices weren't really the kind of thing that could be helped... all that would have happened is that you would have died too.

[personal profile] papartner 2024-06-17 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
So there's really nothing I could have done, huh.
reportinastorm: (E06-01)

[personal profile] reportinastorm 2024-06-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. We were actually doing pretty well until the very end... It was Peony abstaining that got us.

[personal profile] papartner 2024-06-20 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Lupin - he mentioned that you guys had to use your powers on them one round, right? You think them abstaining was payback?
reportinastorm: (E02-12)

[personal profile] reportinastorm 2024-06-22 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. It's possible, I guess. But it wasn't clear what would happen when we were given the choice... We just had to choose between two teams or abstain, with no other information.

[personal profile] papartner 2024-06-23 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm... in a situation like that, it's hard to know if you should hang onto the idea of pessimism or optimism, I guess. I wanna believe no one would choose to do anything too bad when actually given a choice, but sounds like that wasn't really one at all.
