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.]

Mm. Mill—ah!

[She breaks off in surprise when trying to say his real name actually works.

More slowly,]

...Millions Knives.

[finalbows]

Ah, gone now.

That is one something of a name.

[reportinastorm]

He must be...

[That's a relief, but also complicated. She puts that aside for now, though.]

I assume it's something he chose for himself.

[finalbows]

It does conjure a picture worth about as many words.

[reportinastorm]

He can conjure plenty of actual knives, too...

[finalbows]

Now, see, that IS intimidating, but... I do feel like there are many myriad solves for the problem of "a knife?" Even when it's very many?

[reportinastorm]

...Such as?

[finalbows]

I do think they invented shields explicitly for the purpose.

[reportinastorm]

He can control knives to attack from every direction.

[finalbows]

Full-plate.

...How much velocity?

[reportinastorm]

...He was able to slice up a huge rock outcropping and destroy an entire town.

[finalbows]

Ah.


Trebuchet.
Or, my favorite: pit trap. You don't even need anything too fancy in it!
