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! ]

Don't worry. This time, we'll make sure he can't come back.

[leonheartedly]

[listening in to him and Red]

—that's - not what I was thinking, is that a good idea?

[shortforever]

's no different than what's up with me, if you think about it.

[leonheartedly]

Mm, I know. I just don't trust that fucking demon not to find a way back, you know?

[shortforever]

You know? Fair. But at least this way we're right there and can stop him immediately.

[leonheartedly]

That's true . . . though we'd stop him regardless.

[shortforever]

We would. But work smarter, not harder.

[leonheartedly]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Important part is that he can't hurt anyone ever again.

[survivaltricks]

[nodnods]

I do.

It's a surefire way to make sure he never comes back, isn't it?

[leonheartedly]

I - well, I guess it is?

[survivaltricks]

[nodnods!]

Let's give it a shot and see where it takes us, okay?

[leonheartedly]

. . . all right. Fingers crossed.

[AND THEN LUPIN GETS A GOLDEN RAM DEMON MASK]

[he looks perplexed]

[leonheartedly]

[THAT TONE, MISTER]

. . . is that what's supposed to happen?

[survivaltricks]

. . . yes.

[it is what he expected to happen. . . if the whole thing worked]

I just. . . wasn't sure it'd actually work?

[leonheartedly]

. . .

You weren't sure.

[survivaltricks]

-- don't look at me like that!

[HE KNOWS. . . HE KNOWS]

[dadinside]

Sounds cool.

[leonheartedly]

That isn't a good reason.

[sir?????]

[dadinside]

Why not?

[leonheartedly]

Because half of the shit that sounds cool in theory is never cool in practice.

[dadinside]

Sounds like you need to do more cool things, grandpa.

[leonheartedly]

I do plenty of cool things - you're my age.

[dadinside]

Then why do you get called grandpa?

[leonheartedly]

Yata started it . . . and I was grandpa in one of those weird scenario rituals.
