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.]

Then I'm accusing you of being a human masquerading as a jackalope.

[Pops a bubble. It just shows him getting accused of being human just now.]
jerkalope: (Won't see what might have been)

[ pops a bubble showing him getting accused by the human who he just accused ]

Never have I ever been sincerely accused of being a human.
damegane: ([sweat] in life connecting)

I don't think most people get accused of being human to begin with, much less sincerely.
jerkalope: (Deprived of all his thoughts)

[personal profile] jerkalope 2024-06-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, usually it's humans accusing others of being inhuman. Either to excuse someone's behavior or to excuse their own actions against someone by dehumanizing others.
damegane: ([Sweat] by writing about)

[personal profile] damegane 2024-06-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Which makes your choice of wording even more useless.
jerkalope: (What I've felt what I've known)

[personal profile] jerkalope 2024-06-16 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Useless" is a loaded negating word. For someone interested in semantics, you sure you want to go there?
damegane: ([food] I really was last)

[personal profile] damegane 2024-06-16 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the one doing a never have I ever, so it doesn't really matter what I say right now.
jerkalope: (He tries to please them all)

[personal profile] jerkalope 2024-06-17 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, so easy to discount things when you think it doesn't matter!
damegane: ([sigh] If I don't have what it takes)

[personal profile] damegane 2024-06-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Sure is.
