Baa-trayal

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.]

[ 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]

[featherduster]

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

Anyway.... cubecall. ]

Charon?

[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—]

TAKES IT BACK OFF

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON


He pockets the bracelet and heads for the forest ]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[he’s not in the forest or the cube wouldn’t work!1

HOWEVER once Minuet crosses the pasture fence to head to the forest he can spot him anyway, dragon-shaped and lying flat in a hummock of tall grass in the meadow. it’d be great camouflage if he weren’t bright white and bright red.]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ you can't expect me to remember these things

He approaches cautiously, but makes sure he's making enough noise to announce his presence. Did Charon get so upset he hulked into a dragon, holy shit ]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[lifts his head just enough to glare over one shoulder at him. he has been tearing up grass]

What.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Flops in the grass a respectful distance away ]

Are you angry with me?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

No.

[pauses, then amends for honesty]

A bit.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

Is it 'cause I didn't fight you?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

It is because you did not preserve your life.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

... I understand.

I'm sorry.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[deep breath]

I don’t need an apology.

Why did you let me do it?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Quietly ]

I can't fight you.

If I ran, you would've gone for Lethe. And I'm sure you'd have hunted me down no matter what.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

I killed him too, do you understand? You shouldn’t let me do whatever I want if I’m clearly not in my right mind. I don’t have—I don’t balk at killing if the reasons not to do so stop mattering, Minuet. If it had inexplicably become my priority, then why do you think I’d actually—

[swallows, talons digging deeper into the root-matted ground]

—sorry. This isnt fair to you either.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Oh.



Watches him without a change in expression at all, holding up the bracelet ]

Can I put this on?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[he stares at it, primary eyes widening enough that Minuet can actually see a hint of dark sclera around the enormous pupils]

…

If you must.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Ok.

Putting it on again, leaving it this time. He's more braced for whatever comes through. ]
