WHO: Lily? and passersby?
WHERE: Lily
WHEN: Day 11, noon-ish

[After this noisy nonsense Honey stomps out of Lily's front yard and for a moment it seems like peace will reign in the pasture for maybe another hour or so

Alas, it was not to be. Before he can hop the fence the color abruptly drains from his collar and a bell grows out of it! Naturally, the bell also starts ringing. The sound of bells is pretty common, but maybe the sound of one more is enough to draw your attention? Either way, Honey turns right back around and goes to knock on Lily's barn door with the air of someone who has just accidentally set off a school fire alarm.]

I was hopping the fence and it just--

[gestures to his bell and lily-white collar, confused.]

Did I break something?

[the great advantage of wearing this many layers is that it is really, really hard to tell when he is so tense that he is in physical pain from it.]

Please move over there, if you would. Back to the edge of the Lily fence, not the meadow's fence.

Sure.

[he does go back over to Lily's fence, too conscious of the bell the whole time]

Are you thinking it'll turn back?

[instead of answering, he just raises his staff, and brings it down firmly in the grass. the bell clangs instead of jingling, just once, a shepherd's call.

all Lilies may find themselves snapping to, even if they're near him already -- including Yoojin.]

( wings fwoosh up from behind styx, so he... awkwardly shuffles from behind him, over towards charon... )

[ JUMPS ]

[yup he's there]

I don't know if I like that.

[complicated feelings when immediately dropping the jacket and getting to his feet also what the fuck]

[OKAY YEAH IT ONLY LASTS A SECOND then his hand relaxes, the weird urge to get the fuck over to where the shepherd is cuts off. their attention is on him now though]

I do not think it is a fake. I can sense where he is, the same as the rest of you.

Then... do we... hold some sort of celebration? Is this a joyous moment?

[i'm going to go lie down in the forest and let the monsters take me]

We should probably do something. We only have bedrooms and amenities for six.

... we got the couch.

[muttered because this is all a little trippy.]

He needs a Lily name.

[ TO HONEY ]

You need a Lily name. For combo points.

I don't mind sleeping on the couch. What counts as a Lily name?

We need the couch for guests. We are getting him a bed.

[he will let Aides answer about the name]

A Lily name is Underworld-based. I can give you a big list.

A list would be great. I don't know a thing about the underworld.

[ opens his mouth

infodumps for 20 minutes ]

[there is something very satisfying about watching someone be very good at something but he is also very overwhelmed]

Wow. Those are all the Egy--no, it's the Greek underworld, right? You must be working hard at school. Hmm...Hermes, Lethe, and Hypnos sound the easiest to remember.

[sounds them out a few times, quietly]

Maybe not Hypnos. Are Hermes or Lethe normal enough names?

Lethe is a good one... s-since you're from another team originally.

No need to overthink it. Lethe it is! It's less weird to use than Honey. Thanks for officially making me part of the team. Ah, the name makes it official, right?

Y-yeah, I think so.

Cool. Uhm, got any favorite foods? For future reference.

I don't really like any foods, but I like bright and colorful candies or snacks.

Like M&M's or something? I don't know if there's any candy here, actually.
