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.]

I would remove the idea of an average person, especially in circumstances that aren't average. But you'd be surprised how many people might enjoy a little violence if they were forgiven for the slip up!
heavyliesthecrown: (Uhh what are you even doing)

It is my dear hope that you are wrong there.

I've got a large population sample that says I'm not, but it could be skewed! After all, experiments like that have selector bias, heh.
jerkalope: (Won't see what might have been)

You know, like when you put flowers in colored water and measure how much of it they soak up.

I told you I'm a prison guard, yes? So obviously my observational data would be coming from someone who already murdered before. Now, if I were a preschool caretaker, I'm sure that data would skew the other way, if only because toddlers really lack the ability to do more than roly-poly around.

Fortunately, I am not surrounded by so much violence ordinarily back home.
