Baa-trayal

[wooliefrand]

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.]

I don’t know how to help you.

I am afraid it will happen again.

I am afraid to lose you.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

C'mon. Why would you lose me? Do you really think I'd let you kill me if I thought it was gonna stick?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

I’m not so certain that the gamble doesn’t turn my stomach. What if the rules change, with this Crow? If Death truly took you two into the Nothing for good…

[ Gently thinks about Mr. 'I'd sacrifice who I need to in order to achieve an outcome' and feels a stab of SOME kind of emotion. A soggy emotion. ]

I don't think she would. She doesn't really want to mess with the souls that aren't from this realm, y'know? But... I'm sorry.

What would you want me to do instead?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[it’s always such a problem whenever people move out of the potential collateral category]

Stop me. I know you can.

Or if that’s unacceptable, run away.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ 'Stop him' probably still necessitates some amount of 'fight him,' but he doesn't say that ]

... Alright.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

Thank you.

[shifts a moment to press the side of his scaly head under Minuet’s chin, against where he fatally wounded him]

I am sorry I did it. I want you to find out how to live without weariness, not die.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

I meant what I said in there. You can trust that much.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

Ah.

Then I will not go.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Looks. Alarmed. ]

Were you going to?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

No.

[a little wretched]

When I am in possession of my own faculties, I don’t know if you could be rid of me even if you asked me to go.

Good.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[he should probably protest

he doesn’t want to, though.

gathers him in tighter instead. dragon jail]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ He seems perfectly happy with that, but-- ]

... We should find Lethe. I'm worried about him being alone with all-- that.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

…yes. I need to apologize to him as well.

Climb on?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Why must climbing on mean leaving the dragon cinnamon roll center :(

He does so, though ]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

[it’s ok he’ll be in it again shortly unless Lethe rejects cuddles

the meadow makes a galloping takeoff easy, and he’ll circle back towards their barns, flicking on shepherd GPS for a moment. where’s Lethe?]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[that guy is very much pinging via GPS that he's in his room still, so he's not far!]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ While they head to Lily and he dangerously has time to do some pattern-recognition ... ]

Is there a reason you prefer not to turn back?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

…

I require a certain amount of focus to change back and forth.

[landing on the roof above Lethe’s room, not without a clatter]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[he probably hears the noise; it's quiet down in his room, though]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ Hmmmm and here he just assumed Charon didn't want anyone to be able to read his expression.

He knows that landing here means Lethe is below, though. Tentatively calling out: ]

Lethe . . . ?

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[endsjustified]

Hang on.

[just ghosts them both and drops them through the roof into Lethe’s bedroom]

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[the first thing they might notice upon dropping in is the. the feathers. they're scattered across the floor of his room in the same pattern he walks when he's feeling agitated or restless, ending at the foot of his bed.

Lethe is sitting at the end of the trail, butt on the floor and back against his bed frame, knees drawn up, watching his hands spill feathers with a slowness that implies some level of willing deliberation. a pair of fluffy wings that have fully sprouted from his back are draped around him like a blanket. his face is scrunched in concentration until they drop in, at which point an illusion wipes away any traces of feathers visible within a two foot radius around him]

Oh.

Hi guys.

Re: POST RITUAL MINGLE

[featherduster]

[ He looks kind of stricken for a second before slamming his expression into something very deliberately neutral

Softly, ]

Don't.
