RITUAL 32 - never have i ever

[manwhofelltoearth]

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.]

I would absolutely never. Adhering to the law and the rules is of the utmost importance. You shall never find this Crescendo breaking the law.

[jerkalope]

What about unintentional law breaking? Something like receiving stolen property? I'm betting there's a lot of shady business in the idol business.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Well, if that has ever happened, I have no way of knowing. And I doubt that I would ever learn otherwise.

There are, unfortunately, a number of shady characters in the idol industry it seems. But, fortunately, I am quite protected from it.

. . . Most of the time.

[jerkalope]

Then this would mean that the rules of this game are more geared toward the users' own recollection of things rather than an arbitrary omniscient watcher. Hehe, in that case your amnesia would keep you pretty insulated! Use it to your advantage!

[heavyliesthecrown]

Or-! I am just that good.

[jerkalope]

[ ...he coughs politely ]

Yes, so anyway...

Maybe this time Bluebell can win!

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Maybe.

[His response to that is so strained as is his smile.]

[jerkalope]

Hey, if it's individual scoring then there's a chance.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Perhaps. I suppose we shall see.
