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.]

Then... what is it you're asking of me? I don't... [if he couldn't have done anything anyway how is he to protect himself or anyone]

Silly potato.

[ Moving Rubato's hand over his chest, over his heart, to let him press his palm there, and beating calmly. ]

It's whole again, because I was able to help you after everything was over. To be able to care for someone is also a way to protect them, but to be safe is the greatest security you can give a person who loves you.

[ "Don't sacrifice yourself if you don't have to." ]

If being hurt can't be avoided, then we at least have this. What I'm asking of you is to not forget how much you mean to me. To the people who see you too.

So stop seeing this as a failure on your part. You've always protected me, so let me do the same for you.

[ Lifting his hand to kiss the back of his fingers, holding it between them. ]

And if you've any doubts or worries, don't shoulder them alone. If not with me, then with someone you can.

But I'm here now. And so are you. We're safe when we're together, aren't we? Protecting someone doesn't mean doing the impossible to keep them safe. Sometimes it just means doing the best you can, and trusting they'll be alright with your help, whatever you can give when they need it.

I'm trying to be what you need in this moment. Is it working?

[I truly just do not have Savanarook Groovey levels of snotty tragic crying, but he's crying harder at that, but like emotional, rather than sad.]

O-oui, you are displaying the most a-a-admirable strength, even after everything you wh..went through--b--beau-tté!! [SOBBING]

[ There he is, his ridiculous potato. He just gives him the most exasperated look at that while he sobs, shaking his head before just wrapping his arms back around him and pulling him to his chest again. ]

This wasn't about me...

[ But he can't help but chuckle despite himself. Ah, Rubato. His dearly beloved best friend. ]

You're lucky these clothes are ruined already, or I'd make you wash them by hand.

[ He's teasing, but hey. He will just push his face into his hair now. ]
