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.]

Not in the least. It would be like being able to return home to your world briefly. The Weed ability to disappear into shadows is nice and everything, but a really shallow replacement.

[strateelgic]

I don't think I've actually seen a weed use the shadow ability before. But I suppose that's the point.

[jerkalope]

Hmm, most of the Weeds here don't really bother with it either. They're not frequently at risk for being trampled underfoot by sheep like I am.

[strateelgic]

You could probably ride the sheep, couldn't you? Not that they would make for great mounts without proper training.

[jerkalope]

I could, but they're stupid, and if they're already running away, difficult to herd. I mostly want to be able to take a nap in the sun without having to worry about some smelly creature licking me awake.

[strateelgic]

Is there no good window to bask in at your clubhouse?

[jerkalope]

Heh, the clubhouse is rarely a place I would call "restful." Too many comings and goings, and Flare throws pillows when she's angry. Which is any day that ends in -y.

[strateelgic]

Goodness, that sounds hazardous.
