WHO: Sheep
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: 109 afternoon thru evening

[It happened so suddenly--no matter where you were, even if you didn't get caught up in, you suddenly saw the massive, ghostly body of Death standing over the pasture. Whether you were in your barn, the cafeteria, exploring the meadow or forest, it didn't matter. You suddenly found yourself sucked into seemingly another realm, experiencing memories and feelings and urges that certainly did not belong to you. A ritual is being performed, but it was not caused by Weed or Sheep or Blossom. Not, Death herself called this one, in an effort to call attention to. . .something, who knows.

As you eventually wake up from the ritual--possibly with injuries or horrific memories, you will find yourself at the fountain.

Blossom, Stormy, and Lady are also there, soundly asleep. And also tied up. Death is tired of their shit okay.]

[thank you zenith :( she's going to pick herself up, but do more than just lean.

she's gonna cling.]

I promise I tried to not die...

[ He loops an arm around her to support her. She can cling all she wants. ]

...as long as you're alright now, that's what matters.

Even I found it difficult to stay alive during that one.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

Minuet and Cres just totally lost it, and I think Levi might have too?? I lost it too, but I killed all of the NPCs, not other people. . . not that it feels great.

What happened to you?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

...that seems to have been the name of the game. Even I... I'm not sure what happened, but it felt like I was returning to old habits.

Then Spinel ran me and Fantasia over with a car.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

She what. There was a car??

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

I rolled really well with our new ability, and it manifested a car.

Then she stole it and killed me with it.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

Oh.

... At least it seems like you came back alive? I... I'm glad for that, at least.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

...alive in a sense. I'm not sure what was happening, though it seems to have left me now.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

Yeah, I... don't feel weird anymore.

Which is good, but ugh. It felt like just—... I'd kill anything for the greater good?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

Is that so..? Perhaps that's a trait you should consider keeping in mind going forward.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

I'd rather not, though. I don't like that feeling at all.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

Hah...

You're better off without it, anyway.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

...

Can you... not tell Cygnus I died? He doesn't need to know it happened again.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

...he doesn't have to know anything about what happened. I won't mention it.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

Thank you. He's just... worried, because he can't do anything to protect me, and I don't—... want to make it worse.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

He doesn't have to protect you, either. You're perfectly capable of protecting yourself. You've... grown. Quite a lot.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

He doesn't, and I know I can protect myself and... everything. But he doesn't deserve to see me dying. He saw me die in my old life, because he was my doctor. He... doesn't need to keep seeing that.

[she ducks her head]

... But I probably wouldn't have changed much if it weren't for you.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

...so it's to protect him? I can accept that a little more. You're allowed to want to keep him from hurting, too.

[ He hesitates, but glances away with a faintly embarrassed smile. ]

You would have gotten there on your own eventually, I'm sure.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

... It would've been a lot messier.

And we both know it was already super messy to begin with.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

Perhaps.

But as it is... I think you turned out fine.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

... Thank you.

[Before she just wraps her arms around him in a hug]

You're being all mushy, Zenith. It suits you.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

[ He doesn't stiffen nearly as much as she hugs him, seeming almost resigned to it. ]

You died, so I felt like being nice. That's all.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[aididitmyway]

Don't worry. Your mushy insides are safe with me.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[eonsadrift]

There's nothing mushy about me.
