WHO: SHEEP
WHERE:THE PASTURE
WHEN: 85, late afternoon thru evening

[Normalcy is returning to the pasture! Or at least maybe you hope it is! Blossom can be found still cleaning up the last bits of blood in the grass so it looks nice and not-ominous anymore!! Well at least til she stabs herself lightly.]

Stupid--incomprehensible demons--don't they know what I'm trying to accomplish here!! All that violence and--now there's a freaking robot of me?? Ugh!

[the blood seeps into some flowers before turning into some dandelions and--POOF. Puffy dandelions float through the sky this evening! If you touch one, you will either A) be granted the gift of floating for a few hours or B) You get a fluffy appendage of your choice for a few hours (ears, tail, wings). Just a nice little distraction. . .but one ends up touching Blossom and now she is floating away. Welp. goodbye don't mind her yelling. The dandelions and their effects will disappear by morning (or sometime day 86 idc it's for fun)

THAT ASIDE, you might see some new faces falling from the sky this evening. Make them feel welcome! Or not! No one is the boss of you!!

Lastly, some Flocks' will feel their barns rumble slightly before new additions are added:

Daffodil: Inexplicably, downstairs is an inside atrium like room. It's far bigger than it should be, and somehow has an abundance of plants, rocks for sunbathing, and sunshine itself (though a well hidden knob can also switch it to "nighttime"). You even get the ambiance of critter noises. Hell there are even a few small animals like lizards and bugs you can hunt. Enrichment! There is also a grotto that doubles as a private bath, with self cleaning, steaming mineral water that connects to smaller streams running thru the atrium.

It's big enough to comfortably fit say, a chimera. Said Chimera can enter the room from inside or outside, as a pressure sensitive hidden door will allow any Daffodil in. Think of like a garage door but more majestic. It also include a waterslide form their normal bathroom and of course, normal stairs.

Rose: The main room of the barn is now a two-story library with a Dark Academia vibe, featuring books from the worlds of the resident Roses. Red velvet couches and wing-backed chairs face a huge fireplace that’s perfect for brooding over, and a huge and ornate gold-framed oil portrait of Vera is mounted over the mantle, along with a fist-sized diamond. The high ceiling has shutters that can be drawn to reveal a massive, domed skylight edged with stained-glass roses to let light into the room during the day, and at night the room is gently illuminated by the goth chandelier above and various iron sconces and candelabras along the walls. Nestled between the twin staircases that lead to the upper floors, the flock's Crystal Rose is displayed on a podium-shaped fountain. The trickling water and faceted petals catch the twinkling light of the candles and fireplace.

Here and there across both floors are reading nooks and desks for study, and the bedroom doors can be optionally hidden behind sliding bookcases and secret panels. Also of note in this room are lots of spooky glowing crystals of all sizes and colors tucked on the shelves along with the books, and a standing chalkboard on wheels can be rolled out of its nook for giving lectures and devising schemes.

Peony: And Peony just gets a really sweet bathroom. Half of it is fancy pink marble, with a large, elaborate bathtub, sink and mirrors, separate toilet, and both a personal and giant walk-in shower (just in case you feel like going in as a horse). Off to the side is also a mini spa/lounge area just for taking the edge off. The other half is covered in pink plush, and all the decor is peonies and/or cowboy themed.

The plush side also houses in-unit washers and dryers, as well as dry cleaning and other clothing specific utilities.]

... Do we know who specifically?

[ murder ]

[ concerning ]

I know it wasn't Azdaja or Angel Devil.

That's a start. I can ask the rest.

... Are you going to do anything about it?

[ Kevin makes a face. ]

I can remember for next time.

[ sighs. that's better than he'd worried about ]

You should know Scarab already got back at Rose. He turned the punishment they came up with back on them in the last round.

[ oh. good. Kevin flashes a vicious sort of smile. ]

Tell him he's my favorite now.

[ His mouth tightens in a thin frown ]

He can hear you. ...And he's glad you appreciated it.

Thank you.

[ and ... at that, he subsides again, looking a bit less feral. ]

Are all of you okay now?

Lethe says he's fine, but he always says he's fine. And Charon's pissed off, but he doesn't want anything to spill over outside of rituals, so...

[ Shrugs awkwardly ]

I think Scarab's his favorite too right now.

... I guess if we start doing things outside of rituals, it'll never stop.

[ nods ]

Everything's already such a mess... I dunno if I could deal with it all the time.

Yeah. Same.

[ a faint scowl. ]

I won't do anything to Rose outside of a game, I promise.

Not the Weeds either, right?

Weeds too. Kind of too many of them to get revenge on them as a team anyway.

Yeah. I was pretty surprised that they were grouped up together like their own team this time too. Usually they're spread out across the regular flocks.
