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.

You realize this is not enough information for several dozen kidnapped strangers to make an informed decision on whether they wish to partake in blood sacrifice or not, considering the multiple harmful possibilities of such an act. Yes?

[honestly Stormy is a way more familiar dynamic to him. looks Blossom straight in the adorable little sheep eye, though]

Do you agree with your companion?
endsjustified: (agaric.)

I see.

[can he just like

lean over and peer at the pages of the book in her hands, then]
endsjustified: (a consummate professional.)

[interesting. does not react to the dread or the pain, just tucks that knowledge away for later]

A final question for you both, for now.

[gestures at the blank little NPC sheep]

Were they always so?

Hm. So this is not the first mistake you have made, it would seem.
endsjustified: (x to doubt.)

[picks her up off the grass to sit her back up after a moment, mostly to see if he'll be allowed to do it; he's not rough about it]
endsjustified: (no poetic irony.)

[evenly]

Should that be the truth, and should it have some benefit to those you called here, you may have more assistance than you might think.

[he will let go after that and see if she flops back over or stays sat up]
endsjustified: (and i have seen the cycle.)

[personal profile] endsjustified 2023-04-29 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[inclines his head formally to her, and then to Stormy]

Good day to you both.
