RITUAL 32 - never have i ever
WHO: you
WHERE: around the pasture
WHEN: morning 86
[so how are we doing, everybody? feeling a little more together? feeling a little furry, floaty, or both? well–don’t mind this newer Weed who’s just climbed up on a big rock, clapping his mildly bloody hands together to get your attention.
is that a new demon hovering around him? well–this might as well happen.]
‘Scuse me! I’m Father Argent, if we haven’t previously met. I know this is a little presumptuous and all, but it seems like most people could use a pick-me-up right now? So my friend over here and I have, well, arranged something. I hope you’ll indulge us today!
[and a little ripple of movement goes through the surrounding area, transforming it – the colours of this part of the pasture go pastel, and everything gets bubbly. rocks are now round and bouncy, the grass loses its edges and looks more like a carpet of fat succulents, fences look and feel kinda like pool noodles. you can bounce around without damaging anything, if you build up enough momentum, but even without doing that it’s just…nice to hang out on, soft and springy. there’s also some random clear spheres hanging here and there in the air, filled with small round crunchy snacks and drinks like popcorn, or pork rind and grain puffs, or gummies, or cold water, or weak beer. not enough to fill up on or really get drunk, but something to munch and keep you refreshed.
y’all are stuck here for a bit! and even if you’re not in immediate range or holed up indoors, you might feel the pull to come see what’s up – or simply be teleported into the ritual zone, in a bright popping flurry of bubbles.]

[ a little nod ]
But .. other than that ... I've liked it here. Everyone's been really nice to me.

Daffodil's a pretty great team, too. They'll take care of you.

[nodding in agreement with that one]
Every Shepherd does it differently. But Tart's method really works for the people he's in charge of.

I'm just. . . a coordinator. I ask for opinions, take votes, hold meetings when we have things to talk about. . . though that last one isn't unique to me. I don't "lead," or make decisions for the whole flock, unless the people on Thistle want me to.
[. . .]
But most of all. . . I try to give everyone on Thistle a place to belong.
no subject
Mm. I think .. that sort of thing is nice. With Daffodil, too -- I feel like I "belong". I don't have to explain myself to them.
no subject
Having a place like that is so very important.
no subject
It helps me... Even when things have been difficult here, I've been able to get through it in part because of that.

[a bit wistful, but he is smiling]
We're not meant to tackle the hardships of life alone. So having people to lean on. . . it's one of the most precious things someone can have.
