RED'S SHOP

[wooliefrand]

[IF YOU VENTURE INTO THE...TOWN? There seems to be like only one actual shop you can get into right now.

It seems full of various knickknacks--slinky coils, googly eye stickers, a painting of sheep!mona lisa, plain bubble gum........just a lot of random, mostly useless junk, aside from the odd practical item like notepads or pencils.

There's a sheep(?) manning the register]

Howdy howdy!

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

[this is a fox]

Can I get the googly eye stickers? They're very important.

[endsjustified]

Good afternoon.

[he will simply not comment on this guy being a fox]

Does legal tender actually exist in this place?

Re: RED'S SHOP

[plied_magic]

[totally sus]

Do you have any lanterns or things like that?

Re: RED'S SHOP

[noarchitact]

[ this store is full of junk his roommate would probably like. ]

...uh, howdy. What would I need to get one of your notepads and pencils, oh and that painting of a beautiful [ ??? ] sheep lady [ ¿¿¿ ].

[beathollow]

( ayo you ever have the dantiest looking goth waif come in, look around slowly before she just. looks directly at red. and then smiles like she didn't come in with goth queen energy- )

Hello. I don't suppose you have any means of defending one's self in the woods?

[finalbows]

As the President Devil's new speech writer, I shall be requiring paper and writing utensils. So! Do you take Gil here?

_{[ not that he has any, but at least he should know if he needs to bother before he tries to convince some out of the wildlife, as he expects is of course possible. ]}

Re: RED'S SHOP

[noarchitact]

[ a familiar face is back. he's not looking much better than the last time red saw him, but let's not talk about that... or bring attention to it. he's fine. ] Vivace, I'd like to introduce you to Red, the wonderful shop keep here. Red, this is Vivace, a member of my herd, Bluebell. She'd like to know if you could help her with something.

[ Holding a plain black t-shirt. ]

You got anything nicer than this?

[ Species hybrids are common where he comes from, so no comment. ]

Re: RED'S SHOP

[pleasantmisery]

[Perception check to see if she notices that this is not a sheep (6 vs. DC 10).

....welp, as far as she's concerned, this is definitely a real sheep, though one with an unfortunate skin condition. how sad!]

Hello! I wondering if you might happen to have, um... a knife? Like a hunting knife? And maybe a tinderbox? For...reasons!

[misfittoys]

Hey! Fancy shop you got here.

[ After perusing the shop for a bit ]

You take custom orders?

[shortforever]

Yo.

[As a fellow redhead he can appreciate Red.]

I'm looking for something a bit more durable than regular paper. Got some construction paper and glue? Maybe some scissors?

[aliveandsicking]

[ This seems fine. ]

Please excuse me, I have an interest in retrieving some personal property and an improvement upon our current sleeping arrangements, if possible.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[THIS BLUEBELL BOY WILL IMMEDIATELY (after assessing what they have) SET OFF TO EXPLORE. He's really excited for the town, but also wants to get familiar with the woods. Honestly he'd strike off alone but Blossom mentioned they're supposed to be working on forming herds, so he'll flag down whoever is close to pepper with questions.]

Hi there! What have you found so far?

[Also he's holding one soul-less sheep in his arms. It occasionally says 'oui' and 'beeeau'. They're working on the second one.]

[beathollow]

Oh- there's six different fridges within the cafeteria. I think it's for us.

( ... what if she just... gently squishes the sheep's face a little. soft... )

[rugpull]

Let's go...

[adorabrawler]

[ She's wandered off to the lake, where she's currently crouching down beside, staring off into until he approaches. ]

Oh. Uh... there's fish?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ To be honest, he has not wandered all that far yet. ]

Unfortunately, not very much. The 'town' is as bizarre as anything. Apparently, at the shops, you must make trades rather than use any sort of currency.

[plied_magic]

[has walked far enough out to find the mist, and is staring at it]

That has to be magical.

[so... how about she just sits nearby and tries to see what she can learn before jumping in? Let's be smart]

[finalbows]

Of course it's magical. _{[ a beat. ]} Though it's not Mist, at least, so we don't have that to worry about.

_{[ the capital M there is audible ]}

[veurr]

[ SOMEONE has found the fridges in the cafeteria and is opening the one in clover green...

and closing it.

And opening it again.

Looking at it from this angle and that angle.

Close... Open.

Sticks his whole head in to try and get a closer look. ]

[shortforever]

[Here someone else is going to peek in too to see what's going on. What's in there?]

[noarchitact]

[ kaveh leaves the shop and heads towards the forest... only to immediately steer in the direction of clover's barn, because he needs to drag somebody along with him. normally he wouldn't be so apprehensive, but he's got nothing but his fists and they're not going to be any kind of useful against whatever the hell a jim deer is. ]

[ he manages to convince wanderer, so together they head into the forest to confront it. ]

[ knock knock jim deer. ]

[ a baby girl and a hat guy are entering your territory. ]

[wooliefrand]

[HOORAY!!!

It's a good trek to the forest and...honestly the meadow is beautiful?? Rolling hills of sweet grass and shrubbery, a few birds here and there, a lake in the distance, it's great!

The forest though is a bit. . .ominous. . .but there doesn't seem to be anything immediately dangerous. Even though it's early afternoon, it looks as if it's night time in the woods. They might have to wander for a while, but eventually they'll come to a clearing. Proceed?]

[endsjustified]

[LILY is heading out as A GROUP from their barn at some point and towards THE FOREST's outskirts and then THE LAKE with the FOLLOWING PLAN:

- mostly they want to check the trees on the forest edge so some of them can break off branches to hit things with or whatever. maybe test out how good their little ghost sheep are at lifting things.
- then check the lake to see if there are harmless fish, for easy food and/or live catches for Nefarious Reasons
- also things that have 'Gator' in the name are quite possibly near the giant water source???
- if the Scisters are also around the lake they might be easier to spot there than they would be among the trees.

it'd be really funny if they just got fucked up in the forest outskirts and got stuck at step one though. WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN? certainly not them. the point is they are doing their best.]

[wooliefrand]

[THE DEAD MAN MARCH i mean

It's about a half hour walk to reach the forest's edge, though it's large enough to be seen in the distance far before then. The meadow between the pasture's fence and the forest is massive and sprawling--there are beautiful rolling grassy hills, flowers and shrubbery of all types, some cute basic meadow animals, really, just some Sound of Music scenery shit.

The forest's edge however is. . .ominous. Despite it being high noon, very little light seems to get through its branches. Sounds can be heard even without entering proper--squawks and growls, ominous cicadas, but also other, unfamiliar noises. Clicks and shrieks and whistles. . .

Get closer?]

[survivaltricks]

[who else would the newly dubbed Lupin ask to go Scister and/or Gator Dog hunting with him other than the guy who tried to murder him? three times, even]

[IT'S FINE]

[anyway, Lupin hops the fence of Woolietown to make his way towards the forest, eyes lifted towards the sky, because Red said Scisters are birds??]

It'll be just like fighting Shadows, I'm sure.

[literal_trainwreck]

[that was months ago, we're so over it]

We can hope.

The cinemaa...

[finalbows]

<sub>[ leave it to kuja the young man now known as Angel Devil to find the local theatre like a heat-seeking missile.

When he went inside, honestly if you were to ask him he didnt know what he expected. Sheep up on stage in costumes that didn't know any of their lines? But instead of all that, this is

~☆~a Movie Theatre~☆~

which is something he's never seen before in his life.

He's pushed up the armrests so he can sprawl across multiple seats like he's on a divan, and iz currently perplexedly watching Sheep Humphrey Baagart in... what might be a detective noir story, except every gun prop has been replaced with a handful of daisies. ]</sub>

This is nonsensical. _{[ He is notably not looking away. ]}

spider sheep, spider sheep

[beathollow]

( so. to get some archery gear and also her phone, she has been given a task: bring back spider sheep thread and also a spider sheep (whole) (status of living not specified) alongside a member of her flock. there's not a lot they can prepare with, unfortunately? but the clover statue's been Touched :tm: and time's a-wastin, so...

into the woods. )

Re: spider sheep, spider sheep

[wooliefrand]

[It's about a thirty minute trek to the forest, and the meadow that seperates the pasture and the forest is quite massive. . .and beautiful! Songbirds tweet their courtship melodies, sweet smelling grass whistles in the wind, it's all very picturesque.

THE FOREST, HOWEVER. . .

While it seems like a normal forest in the distance, up close? It's far more ominous. Despite being afternoon, barely any light seems to penetrate the branches within. Growls and screeches and croaks echo from all sides. . .but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
