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.]

I…

[thinkin about that shadow at the window]

Am fairly sure she knows.

[ sweats ]

Great, then nothing to discuss. She's got a great big glass house to throw her stones from.

I do wanna see the messed up diary, though.

[takes his wrist and tows him to wherever those copies Ananke made are]

[ He's reading this diary with such mean girl energy ]

[for reference]

Ananke has a point. No one who writes out maniacal laughter is in any fit state of mind.

[ WITH FEELING ]

For fucks sake.

Mm.

The password, by the by, was 'Mother, may I murder ewe'?

[ Goes on a face journey, then sets the notes aside. Big "no time to unpack all that" energy ]

How's your priest's work going?

I'm not sure. She doesn't really, ah, provide ongoing updates. But she didn't seem unconfident...

[sighs]

We have to find her name, too.

Do you want any help?

Yes.

[leans on both hands on the edge of whatever table the diary notes are on, stretching the stiffness out of his shoulders, and then looks at him]

I don't know where to start.

[ Mmmmm...

Takes him by the elbow and all but drags him over to Lily's couch ]

[hauled stumbling over]

What.

Rest for a second.

[ It's not a suggestion ]

[8T

…sits on the couch though]

[ he wins ]

Good. You're not gonna get the results you want if you're too exhausted to use that giant brain of yours.

[opens his mouth

remembers the horror of when Ceo first attacked the pasture, the stumbling exhaustion all of them were reduced to by the end of it

closes his mouth]

All right.

[ Taking a seat next to him, briefly giving his arm a squeeze ]

Suggesting the obvious, but have you considered Death might be able to confirm the status of his soul?

Ananke will go ask shortly. She can at the very least rule out the Nothing.

Yup. I think it makes sense to cool your jets until you have that info, then formulate more plans from there.

As far as imminent pasture security in the meantime, it's pretty well in hand already.

[ don't think he doesn't see Lethe and Ananke preparing to go WORK MORE ]

Crescendo asking John for assistance will make the difference, I think. But I don't know if we can put up more than stopgaps until he's revived.

[takes Minuet's hand]

I'm not unused to waiting for information before proceeding. But -- this is dire. The last thing I wanted to do was make a move to drive the person controlling our stay here fully to the brink.

If we need to strike a new deal with the Earth Spirit, the guy kinda owes Bluebell a favor. We've got multiple options.

Little Miss Blossom's a whole different story. Even with Stormy here, it was inevitable that we'd run facefirst into whatever the hell is going on with her.

[ like what the fuck actually ]

I didn't expect her to be half demon, even after all this.

I thought being part wolf was the big reveal.

How many big reveals can you realistically have.

If she has a third half to her heritage somehow, I quit.
