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! ]

[Flora on the other hand collapses onto her knees in the grass as soon as it's apparent that it's done and they're back.]

...Would it be easy...?

[survivaltricks]

[crouching next to her, glancing from Red to the quickly melting demon and back]

We did it once before. . . the only reason he came back is because of that Weed's time powers.

[reportinastorm]

Just because that's the only way we know of that he came back doesn't mean it's the only way he could come back.

[survivaltricks]

Mmm. You have a point there.

[. . .]

I want to see if there's a way for us to absorb his power. Failing that. . . what about sending him straight to hell?

[reportinastorm]

It wouldn't be a bad idea to remove his power even if he stays alive...

Is sending him to hell different than killing him...? I suppose it depends what Death does with him? We could ask her.

[survivaltricks]

[well, after giving his suggestions to Red. . .]

. . . hn. If killing him is the same as sending him to hell, then we need something even harsher than that.

Yata wanted to seal him away in his mirror realm, but. . .

[he trails off]

[reportinastorm]

Yeah.

[after a quiet frown,]

...I'm not particularly invested in how harsh the punishment is. I'm most interested in making sure he doesn't come back and do the same things again.

[survivaltricks]

. . . I wonder. . . if the best way to make sure he doesn't try to kill us is to make sure we're the ones in control of him?

[reportinastorm]

...Do you think we can do that?

[glancing at Red and the rune]

It does seem like he bound him, to some extent...

[survivaltricks]

The only way to know is to try, isn't it?

[Red seems confident it'll work, so. . . Lupin has faith that it will]

[reportinastorm]

Yeah.

...But be careful.

[standing back up so she can watch him better]

[survivaltricks]

. . . I will.
