Gold Rush

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Thistle! (and onlookers)
WHERE: Thistle Barn/Flower field!
WHEN: 99 evening.

[howdy pardners are you all having a good chill time?? Avoiding shadow flowers and the like? good good.

But hey did you notice Several of them encircling thistle's barn? Did you just now notice?? WELL TOO LATE.

Suddenly each flower circling the barn twists and warps, shooting up into the sky like a golden beam--wait no, it actually is gold! The entirety of the Thistle barn has been trapped in golden cage, and their field rumbles as a massive golden skeleton claws its way from the ground. It is SO tired of Thistle, and it is time to bring its fight to them, as it raises a golden skeleton hand to try and swipe at the barn.

See this artistically rendered reference for scale:

Round 3, fight!!

[ooc: NOTE, the fight is for thistles only (and any thistle adjacent weeds they may invite/that happen to be around) but others are free to spectate from outside the cage! ]

All the better, foolish sheep. Your home will be your grave!

[Another roar and it tries to just, fucking step on Lupin.



But also! Hey is his phone beeping? His phone is beeping.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . UNSURE A SHIELD WILL REPEL THAT, so he finally moves, dodge-rolling out of the way JUST IN TIME before popping back onto his feet, staff tucked under his arm]

You really should've practiced your villain speech beforehand!

[since Bombay is firing off a rocket, Lupin will take the time to check his phone and the mysterious beeping noise??]

[wooliefrand]

[BEEP BEEP IT'S--not a sheep?? It's the phantom thieves app on his phone?? Does this demon have a MIND PALACE?

maybe so.

Also give him a second as he reforms from BEING BLOWN UP]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . oh. is that how we're doing it? huh. . . familiar ground!]

[raising his voice while the demon re-forms]

Yo, Thistle! So I know I haven't explained what the heck a Palace is to like, half of you here, and that's mostly because this ability is kind of sketchy and mostly unusable in the pasture.

But!

We're about to experience a scenery change, so hold onto your hats and I promise I'll tell you everything on the back end!

[AND WITH THAT HE JUST]

[HITS THE METANAV]

[survivaltricks]

[reportinastorm]

Huh?

[survivaltricks]

[HE TOLD TYR. . . AND ODIN. . . so like, almost]

[reportinastorm]

[Technically he told her about shadows and the cognitive world, but not Palaces specifically. And certainly not that it was thing that could ever be relevant to her]

[survivaltricks]

[to be fair he never thought it would be!1]
