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.

...I remember you for who you are. You - [ He's been looking down. At his shoes. Unable to look at the blood, and even now he can't quite focus on it, but he can focus on her face instead.
He'd never been comfortable calling out "mama" like Ruby. Really he'd always thought of her as that name he can't remember any longer. Who she used to be to him and who she is to him in this lifetime, it's all - ]
- know that.
no subject
I was thinking, it might be kind of nice to keep living in a world where this is the truth.
[ at this, she turns around, now there's no blood to see, just her voice to hear. ]
This might be the best I can offer right now, so if you play along for a little bit you might be happier too.
[ it's too complicated to say for sure that's the right thing to say, but for the first time in a long while there's not enough lies to cover up the hole that is the truth. ]
no subject
The truth is such a complicated thing. He isn't sure what it is sometimes at this point. And Ai...
The last words she ever said. He wonders if they're still the truth for her, or not. ]
...Whatever you want the truth to be is fine with me.

[ people, furi: ████ ███ ████ ]
It's not very professional of me, but I might need just a little time to decide what's the best for that. After all, even if you know me. . . haven't I missed a lot of who you are?
[ at that she looks over her shoulder at him, still not turning around, with a little bit of a helpless smile. ]
The second best thing about lies is how they can change.
[ the first, of course, is that they are love. ]
no subject
So he's trying. He's the actor, just like she wanted, isn't he? ]
...No need to be professional. [ He won't push her or fault her for anything. ]
I... [ ... ] ...might not be an open book myself.
no subject
[ it's a situation like that, probably, that she should say, so she does.
Maybe it's turning on a dime too fast, but neither of them wants to talk about That right now, probably. ]
no subject
...she's here, too.
no subject
Oh! All three of us. . .
no subject
I don't remember her name either...
