ARISE

Who: Everyone
Where: The Pasture
When: Day 1, WAKE UP

[WAKEY WAKEY PEOPLE!! Wow, no matter who you are, you feel like you're starting to wake up from a really bad trip! At least the ambience is really peaceful and the grass you're laying in is dewey and sweet smelling? Really, this doesn't seem all that bad.

...at least it wouldn't, if you weren't also probably surrounded by strangers. Characters will find themselves sitting with 5-6 other people; and all but one of you have color coded collars with bells on them. Try as you might, you can't remove them. One member of your group however, will wake up clutching a tall shepherd's staff, with a team colored bell attached to it. There's an innate feeling they should hold on to it.

Maybe you will immediately try to introduce yourself! But, you might find that difficult, as you can't remember your name. Some may have forgotten even more than that. Whoops! Also curiously, if you had any powers prior to coming here? You can't seem to use them at the moment. All your belongings aside from whatever you were last wearing also seem to be missing.

Well. This is a mess. But hey, maybe.............all the dozens and dozens of miniature sheep just STARING at you might be able to help. In particular, a small pink sheep and black ram waddle up, looking a bit alarmed.

And they start talking.]

THIS, THIS IS SO MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS TOO MANY??? I HECKED UP, I HECKED UP--!

Baahaha! It's fiiiine, we just have toss one, right? Shouldn't be too hard.


[And suddenly, you're all struck with a brief bout of silence as they continue to chatter. Well! Maybe listen very carefully to what they have to say.]

[OOC: All supernatural/magic/special abilities (including sheep powers) are sealed until characters go to their respective barns and activate them! If you try to enter a barn that isn't yours right now, your character will be immediately crippled by a massive migraine. Go to your own barn!

DECISIONS will be due no later than Friday May 5th at 9PM EST. Blossom and Stormy will take the answer from each team's Shepherd HERE. Whatever happens will depend on what team ends up chosen!

Otherwise characters are now loose to do whatever! Ping me in discord or on plurk if characters wander into the mist or if you want an npc encounter in the forest! GO FORTH YOU'RE ALL FREE NOW. You can also use this post as a mingle.

Seems like things didn't turn out quite as they expected.

Mm. That might be forgivable if they would enlighten us as to the original problem, or why they are immediately leaping to blood magic as their interim solution.

These sheep are incompetent at best.

Haha. Can't ever say that I considered the competency level of a sheep before.

But then I've never met a sheep who could do blood magic either. What a concept!

Any race has its ways to surprise.

Your own thoughts on them, on initial consideration?

It looks like they're in a spot of trouble and need some help. Something I'm not opposed to depending on the task and if they keep good on their word to send us back.

A surprisingly lenient view of the situation.

[personal profile] misfittoys 2023-04-29 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Maybe I'm just a lenient kind of guy.

No need to get the feathers all ruffled up until we know what we're dealing with.
endsjustified: (wither the bloom.)

[personal profile] endsjustified 2023-04-29 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I prefer to err on the side of caution, but certainly making demands for less absurdity seems ineffective here.

[exhales out, slowly]

You were curious about the staves, yes? I had no say in one's assignment to me, that I recall.

[personal profile] misfittoys 2023-04-29 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. Yeah. About that. Stormy and Blossom said that the staff itself chooses it's owner so it must have found you pretty impressive.
endsjustified: (no poetic irony.)

[personal profile] endsjustified 2023-04-30 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's not on me to judge myself, I'm sure.

[there's a little bit of bite in his tone, but the specific flavor of it is hard to tell]

Oh oh, didn't mean to offend. I can appreciate those that are both cautious and humble.
endsjustified: (x to doubt.)

[personal profile] endsjustified 2023-04-30 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
You did not offend. Our hosts are simply...

[makes a slight what can you do gesture with one gloved hand]

I do not trust their current judgement on anything.

[ A small chuckle in return. What can you do when you rolled out of bed this morning only to find yourself sheep-napped later in the day. ]

Yeah.

It's kinda like watching a comedy duo, honestly. Except what a punchline.
endsjustified: (for want of a nail.)

[personal profile] endsjustified 2023-05-03 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure those of us without more important things to do appreciated the show.
