WHO: anyone
WHERE: anywhere
WHEN: Day 9, morning through to late afternoon

[well there's still new landmarks to explore, new teammates (and new ragged individuals) to meet. occasional gunfire's been resounding through the woods sometimes, scaring birds up into the air and sending wandering pygmidillos in the meadow askitter.

what are you up to this fine day?]

[In the afternoon, Odin can be found with a 6-legged sheep (which now has a little purple bandanna too). He seems to be trying to teach the rather frazzled sheep how to walk.]

C'mon, Rika, it's just like walkin' with four legs. Step with one side, then the other.

[rugpull]

[WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT CREATURE]

[shortforever]

[He will take no questions, thanks.]

Hey, you know about animals, right? How do six-legged animals walk?

[rugpull]

I...I only can talk t'stay like mammals and birds....

Only insects got six legs. Ya might wanna observe Clover's spider things?

This baby's whole rhythm has gotten thrown off, ya know? And the hooves are gonna wear down different now too....it's a lot t'get use to.

[



what is that. what does that smell like. what IS THAT ]

[shortforever]

[It's a normal sheep! It has two extra flesh plant legs though.]

[secondbornsun]

[ plant????????????????????????????????????????????

watches for a little longer. mostly trying to gauge if the sheep looks to be in pain or not ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Is that sheep doing well?

[shortforever]

It'll be okay. It's just still learning to walk.

[heavyliesthecrown]

But... how did it come to, uhm... become a spider sheep?

[Points at both of them.]

Don't say a damn thing.

[electricflock]

[…raises his hand like he’s in school]

Um. Can I help? Have an aunt with eight legs.

[shortforever]

[Quick question: can he see gods or souls or anything?]

Yeah, if you know somethin' then I'd appreciate the help.

[electricflock]

[muffin can sense souls well enough to tell if one is Fucked Up somehow, but he can't actually see them]

She's a horse so should be close to how sheep walk.

[survivaltricks]

[still looking wiped as hell from their encounter with the honeysuckle]

The official seventh member of Thistle. . .

[shortforever]

Yeah. She can sleep on Jove's bed, he's got plenty of room to share.

[survivaltricks]

Jove sleeps with me, so she'll have the whole thing to herself.

[SPOILED]

[probably what the sheep deserves after being traumatized]

[featherduster]

Whoa!

I didn't know they come in different varieties like that?!


[ This man has never once seen a sheep before coming here ]

[shortforever]

[Well. Ok.]

Yeah, kinda nifty huh? She's our mascot now and her name is Rika. Most sheep have four legs but if you look long enough you might find one with more or less.

[featherduster]

[ Watching her . . . try to walk . . . ]

She seems kinda bad at normal sheep stuff, though?

[beathollow]

Oh-

( well.

if she hadn't encountered the shyders day one, this might be concerning. )

... Would you like for her to meet Coda? He has eight legs, so it might help.

[shortforever]

...is it some giant-sized spider or somethin'?

[beathollow]

Sort of. He's a shyder- a sheep spider. It's not the same, but it may help to have an external example. --Oh, he's friendly, too, so don't worry!
