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.]

[well. can't do anything about that]

Okay. Try to...no, nevermind, it's fine if you have that kind of reflex.

Don't let Charon kill you again, though, you hear me?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ gawd ]

What'd he even tell you?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[crosses his arms and leans against the wall]

Just that you didn't fight. And I doubt he took you by surprise, so that means you didn't even fight back.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

I...

I just can't fight him. I can't.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

Then at least run away. Don't let him kill you.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

If I agree, are you gonna tell me why the hell you're sprouting feathers?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[Minuet can see exactly where Lethe's illusion around himself ends because a random piece of feather just poofs out of the air a few inches away from his head]

No. That's not up for discussion.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Unfortunately for Lethe he can probably see the gears turning behind Minuet's eyes ]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[Minuet knows too much, maybe he shoulda stayed dead actually]

Stop thinking about it. That's not important right now!

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Lethe can also see the mood shift to "fuuuuuuuuuuuck"

Why does him dying have consequences for other people ]



I'm-- sorry.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[stop dying and it won't be a problem!! probably.]

For letting yourself get killed? Good. You should be. So don't let it happen again.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ He wants to ask if it will trigger every time, but that rather undercuts any assurances ]

I'll remember.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

Don't--

[cuts himself off, because anything he could possibly say is probably incriminating at this point. his options are to tell Minuet to shut up about it (he won't), explain (lol. no), or ungracefully try to change the subject]

Can you just...go talk to Charon? He obviously feels shitty about the whole thing.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

Yeah.

[ A PAUSE ]

Uh... what'd you do with him?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[the feathery tips that Minuet can see vanish back under the illusion as Lethe straightens up]

I threw him in the pool to relieve my anger. I don't know where he is now, but you could check the house or the spa.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ What ]


........... Okay.

You're not coming?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

Huh? I can if you want me to. I thought you'd want privacy for your conversation.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Hmmm ]

Alright. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[nods and steps into a nearby shadow]

...Call me if you need me. I'll be around.

[zips off into the darkness]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ This is shifty behavior even for Lethe. What is going ON.

Anyway.... cubecall. ]

Charon?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[well it rings through so he’s not dead/gone home/in the woods/in the mist

he doesn’t pick up though. f]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!

Time to start by searching Lily ]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[just to expedite things: the stuff from Lethe’s temporary freakout is probably still there in Lily’s living room unless Lethe cleaned it up in a hurry, but Charon is not at or around Lily or Bluebell, anywhere]

[ PUTS THE BRACELET ON ]

[skull-crushing spine-cracking rage hits him all at once through it, so high and hot and sharp it’s like getting his wrist bitten by a venomous snake—]
