ARISE

[wooliefrand]

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.

Decisions| Introduction | Talk to Sheep | BARNS: DAFFODIL, BLUEBELL, LILY, ROSE, THISTLE, CLOVER]

[ immediately hoisting her Rose shepherd staff into the air - ]

I AM THE TRUE CROWNED RULER OF THIS WORLD! BOW TO ME, AND TREMBLE IN AWE AT MY GREATNESS!

[pleasantmisery]

Actually, I think you're only the true crowned ruler of everyone in red collars!

Which might include me, I think? We were kind of close together when I woke up. Is my collar red?

[omgkittyhi]

It is! So now I command you - harvest the blood of all of the pathetic humans in this place! For me -

[ just like

trails off. lowers her staff. stares at it. ]

The great...and powerful...

[ Power??? That sounds like it'd be a really cool name but actually she can do cooler than that. Probably. she just has to think really hard about it.

please hold. ]

[vivace_ultimate]

I'm not doing that!?

[ALARMED]

[omgkittyhi]

You will do that! I command it!

[lapdogged]

Yeah well, looks like you're sharing that 'true crowned ruler of the world' title with five other people.

[omgkittyhi]

PRETENDERS TO MY THRONE! I shall slaughter all of them and drink their blood from their skulls!

[heavyliesthecrown]

It appears that while some of us suffer from memory loss, others are struggling with delusions of grandeur.

[omgkittyhi]

Pathetic human! I neither suffer or struggle! Do not project your woes on me.

[catposting]

[ TOWERING ABOVE HER ]

No.

[omgkittyhi]

[ staring up at him with a scowl. ]

Yes.

[restage]

Calling a staff a crown is stretching it.

[omgkittyhi]

Ha! "Crowned" is merely a figure of speech, and one does not require a literal crown so long as they have been granted an equivalent symbol of authority!

Dummy.

[endsjustified]

Please keep your voice down.

[he also has a staff]

[omgkittyhi]

THE HEAVENS SHALL HEAR MY VOICE AND THEY SHALL TREMBLE

[finalbows]

You're going to have to work on your coronation speeches. 4/10.

[omgkittyhi]

Are you offering to be the presidential speech writer?

[misfittoys]

THIS HUMBLE BYSTANDER REQUESTS A DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR GREATNESS!

[secondbornsun]

[ . . .

sigh

you know what? this might as well happen ]

[omgkittyhi]

My greatness is evident.

[secondbornsun]

Hey your majesty, can ya shut the fuck up? Some of us got delicate ears.

[adorabrawler]

Oh. If you're the ruler here, can you send me back home?

[shortforever]

[Sorry he's just snickering at her.]

[aididitmyway]

[She has her Clover staff, and she glances between that and the rose one before shaking her head.]

Nope.

[flat_sharp]

Are we--? Our colors match.
