WHO: Sheep!
WHERE: The Pasture!
WHEN: 102 Morning-Afternoon!

[HELLOOOO SHEEP, that certainly was a fairly pleasant demon ritual last night! And you know what, aside from one of the moons disappearing (,,,,,), things are going pretty swell!

Until the next morning.

Those who are out in the meadow beyond the fence, may notice that some mist wolves are actually breaking through the mist. You can now encounter wolves just, out there in the meadow. They are slightly weaker not being in their element, but can cause problems all the same.

The fence. . .also, abruptly, starts crumbling. Thankfully, due to the barrier they all created during the kidnapping fiasco, they're still all mostly protected! However, the wolves can slip into gaps from the broken fence. Maybe repair those.

But wait, there's more! One type of fruit tree in every flock suddenly shrivels up, taking that fruit away. You all may decide which one goes bye bye! (but hit up the top comment so I can keep track of it). Any fruit you've harvested for yourself or the food drive already is fine to keep, just any from that particular tree in the future is donezo now.

Finally, random scattered feathers float through the air. Should you touch any, you may experience the following:

Black Feathers - Increased anger, rage, impulsiveness; you may find yourself lashing out violently even to people you like.
Pink Feathers - Increased anxiety, paranoia, depression; even if you try to tell the truth you'll find yourself lying.
White Feathers - Increased loneliness, insecurity, jealousy; you'll find yourself blurting out the truth even if it hurts.

Wack. But hey that's pretty mild all things considered!! EVERYTHING IS FINE AND NORMAL ignore that Stormy has been missing for two days probably and occasionally Blossom flickers in and out of existence.]

[SHADOW WOLF MUZZLE POKES THROUGH AND TRIES TO NIP HIM]

[ attempts to split the wolf in half with Shifting ]

Hi.

[the fuck is that!!!

SPLITS

SPRAYS SHADOW GUNK (its not contagious)]

Ugh...

[GROSS. Attempting to wipe someone it off of his face. DX ]

[He startles as the wolf's snout nearly gets him, stumbling onto his bottom for a moment in surprise at the same time Kozo appears and dispatches it.]

T-Thanks.

[That was close. Scrambling, he rises back up to his feet.]

What in the heaven's is going on??

Beats me! Did someone do a thing?

Probably, but I've no idea who yet.

[Frantically working at repairing the fence again in the most makeshift way.]

Can we not just have more than a couple days of peace??

... here, it's like this.

[ idk how to hold hammers but Kozo does. shows him the right grip, hitting angle, whatever ]

So what's next, the apocalypse? The super-apocalypse?

I wish that I knew.

[Hammering...! With a better-corrected form and posture. It's not perfect but at least he's less likely to hammer a finger. Probably.]

This is not the first time they have broken through into the pasture before or tried to. But if they get inside and we are unable to get this situation under control, we could be in real trouble.

Define real trouble. These guys seem kinda. Flimsy?

They might be. I just do not want it to grow worse. CHARM does not work on the mist wolves, so sometimes our flock abilities are ineffective.

Ah... right.

[ looks sheepish suddenly ]

Why do you look so chagrined suddenly?

[Peeking outside the fence every so often while frantically trying to work.]

...

Don't worry 'bout the wolves, I can handle 'em.

[ that's not an answer ]

That is not really an answer.

[ with another too-long pause ]

I — well. Am I bad Clover if I forget our powers exist most of the time?

. . . No. It just means you are quite blessed to have your own backup plans.

[ gets a faraway look in his eyes, losing the sheepishness ]

Is that what you'd call it? Blessed.

Or perhaps you do not like it...?

[Reaching up from his work he grabs his cheeks.]

I only mean to say that I am not about to complain if you have other methods of self-defense right now. That is a good thing.

[ grabs the hand completely by reflex, squeezing it like one would do to a close friend or family member ]

Are you going to be alright? Whatever you did earlier will come in handy again.

— Huh? Why wouldn't I be?

You just seemed worried for a moment. I wanted to be sure.

I just don't want you to feel bad.

Oh... because of my lack of magic?

[Aha... ]

It is alright. Thank you for trying to be considerate of me, but I am not upset by others possessing something I do not. I shall just continue to forge a path on my own when I lack the same abilities.
