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.]

So you overachieved instead.

[damegane]

You make it sound like it's hard getting into school.

[mykidisthebest]

Maybe not high school. But university is tough. You have to take a test and everything.

[damegane]

That was a breeze, too.

[mykidisthebest]

You fit in pretty well with Peony, huh.

[damegane]

You think so?

[mykidisthebest]

It was half a joke, but I really do think so. They're all pretty smart.

[damegane]

In different areas, I guess.

[mykidisthebest]

Isn't the diversity of talent a good thing?

[damegane]

Probably, but... mostly because I'm not sure how they'd feed themselves otherwise. That doesn't exactly take smarts, though.

[mykidisthebest]

...I get the feeling Pegasus would go into the woods and laser beam some bears for food. But whatever you're doing is the preferred method.

[damegane]

They made me a rifle I can use for hunting, so that helps. Lasers... that would probably just burn the meat to a crisp, wouldn't it?

[mykidisthebest]

Depends on how strong the laser is. Who knows, it might just cook it and save you a step.

[damegane]

That'd definitely make things easier...

[mykidisthebest]

I guess the cooked fur and/or scales would be a downside. And the unevenness of the cooking with a laser.

But I also bet you could ask one of them to make you a laser like that and it would get done.

[damegane]

[Thinking about that for a moment.

...]

...No thanks. Too weird.
