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.

Well, yes... but no, I mean literal magic as well.

[and she's going to try to demonstrate with the fabric in her sleeve... and fail.]

It's not working.

Oh. Well, maybe that's something we have to get back, like our names?

I hope so. It's so... so odd. My teachers always reminded us to practice things without our powers, but...

[and the last time she was without her powers, it was due to hostile action; at least here she's free to move around, and the two sheep... people seem like they aren't that much of a threat to them yet. Besides the blood sacrifice.]

If you had a loom you could do it again, right?

... [suddenly very nervous]

Oh no... what if I can't remember my piano playing...?

[she starts 'miming' playing a few keys with air-piano]
plied_magic: (unsure)

[personal profile] plied_magic 2023-04-29 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Or anything. I usually have my kit around...

... but maybe we can find you something that you can at least practice on. Even if we have to have you scratch musical notation in the dirt so you know you remember it.

I can't do that! ...I mean, I'm really sort of protective of my hands...

--But, that's not our first priority! We're going to find a way out.

You're right. I'd feel better if I had my magic, but we can at least explore. I don't really trust the weird sheep people to figure this out.

Okay, maybe not Stormy or Blossom. But, the other sheep seem to understand... little things.

[She bends down and hums a few bars of Clair de Lune, and the sheep seem appreciative at least.]
