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.]

…

What’s the second reason.

The second reason I'd do it is because in the immediate short term, it would somehow be more valuable to me for her to be dead, than for me to deal with the later consequences. Whether that value be logical or not, I would have decided it was my best option in the moment. A crime of situation and impulse.

[the cube looks up at the fuckin sky and the black feathers raining down on them all]

It’s so much easier to solve for wars than people. I miss them.

Of course. Wars have to obey the laws of physics, more than they do passion. And they come with pretty maps.

Oh, there’s passion. But I’d rather be managing thirty thousand soldiers’ morale and patriotism than a three way love story gone sour.

Ah, well.

You’re still coming with us to the sanctuary?

Of course! I'm not going to have wasted all that time babysitting smoking meat and lobbing fruit into barrels for nothing. Azdaja's not going to be able to make that trip without me propping her up, at this point... and Muffin's coming, too. He's fast, light, and a good negotiator... and we'll try and see how much of the cargo he can store in that pocketspace.

...and, aaaaactually, I've also found myself in need of a whole OTHER trip out of bounds, all of a sudden...

I want to make... something to protect us from the Wolf King's darkness, by refining the sunflowers. And the only place I know of with refining equipment, around here...

…the wolves’ factory?

[he’s actually thinking of the mask factory when he says this, but]

If it can used to make the stuff of nightmares into a usable resource, why not magic flowers...? Honestly, I wish I'd thought of this eons ago.

[ah. recalibrates]

We’d considered returning there somewhat redundant with the other plans, but if you can use it as a meaningful resource, I don’t see why we couldn’t get you there and guard your back. It was somewhat overrun at the time of the initial visit.
