sheep_game | 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.]

Factually incorrect! That obviously has its charm points, but it's much better when they're well-behaved and eating a nutritionally balanced meal at the dinner table.

Well, at least you admit that the charm is THERE...

The charm is only there when used appropriately.

[leans over to try and put Angel Devil in a headlock. it's like not difficult to avoid or even break out of, he's mostly just locking Angie in place]

Are you going to keep ignoring me about your leg? I'm not going to help you with it if you keep being weird.

[ in the moments before he is put into a headlock there is a truly massive amount of Genome_Doing_Math.gif going on. it could fill a several page essay. ]

[ anyway, he "gets caught" (furi: doesn't dodge) and immediately starts complaining flamboyantly, As Usual ]

Not the feathers, not the feathers! Do you know how much WORK it is, keeping them in an acceptable state in this place?!

Ugh! Fine! You mule! Let me go and I'll tell you!

I haven't even ruffled your feathers, calm down.

[releases him]

If your leg is already being handled then I won't worry about it. You can tell me that much, can't you?

[ fusses with them once he's let go even though they're fine ]

It won't go back on and nothing I tried would make it do so. So, that's it. My vainglorious pursuit of keeping this vessel whole is to a close. In the end, it's all just bones and meat, right? And one's composite cells die and are replaced all the time.

Azdaja said something about it being cursed. I guess that's something to watch out for in future rituals. Great. Did you start growing a limbus leg?

[ yes. Technically. but not for the leg, specifcially. ]

...I haven't decided how I feel about using one yet.

Edited 2024-06-21 01:01 (UTC)

Do you think it'll be uncomfortable or something?

...

I've fought very hard for this body to stay my body in my life, and it's. Mentally bothersome. Casually replacing pieces.

...I see. I'll keep that in mind if it comes up again.

If I am so lucky, it never shall. Naturally, this of course happened as soon as it became MORE difficult to remediate than times previous...

[ sighs... ]

In the meantime, I am considering options for a removable prosthetic.

Edited 2024-06-21 21:26 (UTC)

Oh? Are you going to make one yourself?

I have thoughts. Though, similarly to how I'm making do already... anything I can make has the downside of turning useless, if magic and flock powers are swept off the table. As they oft are.

The only one I know of who can make a mechanical one is Aides. Anyone else who would have that kind of capability would probably utilize magic, like you. Maybe you can find a way to combine both? Create your magic one, but also have some kind of switch to flip so you can still use it if powers are off in a ritual.

Mn. I've... seen his work on the... Blossom Facsimile. She's indeed very articulate. _{I mostly. Just want... to have the same silhouette, you know...?}

...So I'd need... limited emergency power, joints his methods could control... power switch. That's nothing, right? I don't know much about the workings of creations like Azoom-zoom and all, but...

I don't know anything about an Azoom-zoom; that's way out of my area of expertise. But I'm confident that it's something Aides could accomplish.

Great.

Shall I tell him it's on your word he could help me, then.

It's a recommendation from me. Whether or not he decides to help you is up to him.

So I don't even get the name as capital, huh...

[ dismissive wave]

I'll figure it out. Go play.

You can tell him I recommended him, of course. It's not like that's a secret. But he's his own person; I can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do.

Good luck, though.

[he'll leave him to it]
