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.]

[mykidisthebest]

[whoa]

Huh. Could he always do that?

[endsjustified]

No. Priest doings, apparently.

[mykidisthebest]

It suits him. Should we ask our Lady if she can do that too?

[endsjustified]

Do you want to do that…?

[mykidisthebest]

No, I just like having options.

[endsjustified]

Never hurts to ask, but it does seem tied to her connection to the Snake, so I don’t think it can be replicated the same way.

Seems intriguing, though.

[mykidisthebest]

Transformations can be useful in a fight. And flying is nice. But none of that is required here.

[endsjustified]

It also sounded like a random roulette. I’d hate to end up a child.

[mykidisthebest]

[hang on, picturing Charon as a kid]

I'd like to see it, though.

[endsjustified]

No.

[mykidisthebest]

Why not?! I want to see your cute little serious face!

[endsjustified]

It’s undignified and inconvenient.

[mykidisthebest]

[regretful sigh]

Okay, okay. It would be pretty inconvenient. You wouldn't be able to hold the staff easily.

[endsjustified]

That’s the biggest of your worries…?

[mykidisthebest]

Are you worried about something else? If it's just for a short period of time then I don't think there would be any issues.

[endsjustified]

I was not a very nice child.

[mykidisthebest]

That's okay. Not every kid is.

[endsjustified]

Hmph.

[mykidisthebest]

[pinches his cheek, light and playful]

I don't expect you to turn into a child at all. I'm just saying it would be cute, and you can't change my mind on that.

[endsjustified]

Ridiculous…

[he accepts this with good grace though]

[mykidisthebest]

Please accept that I'm very biased in this scenario. Never~ have I ever~ seen Charon as a grumpy little child~

[endsjustified]

[gives the silver bubbles a look of absolute cat’s offense]

[mykidisthebest]

[do it. show him a five second memory of grumpy toddler Charon.]

You don't have to pop a bubble I already know it's true.

[endsjustified]

[FINE he pops a bubble

enjoy the world’s crankiest five year old sulking in the corner clearly in timeout for something]
