WHO: Anyone
WHERE: Everywhere, but near the Big Fence
WHEN: Just before sunset.

[Life has been SLICING in the pasture, good shit!! It's also been getting a lot warmer. Well, it is summer(?) spring(?) there is no calendar here don't worry about it.

But there is some SIGNFICANT heat coming from a portion of the fence and--oh. oh no. Is that Patches? Is he setting the fence on--yeah he's setting the fence on fire. Is anyone surprised??

As soon as the wood burns away, mist begins pouring into the pasture, forming into foggy, wolf-like beast. It snaps up the first sheep it sees, shaking it like a ragdoll and leaving it a messy pulp before looking for bigger prey.

But that isn't the only issue. More mist is still pouring through the broken fence, but. . .it's not forming wolves. It's just creepily, quickly, spreading across the pasture.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. So anyone who had those friendship stars? They begin to jingle just as the fence breaks. Then they float into the air. . .and shoot off. They're not so fast that you can't follow them, however, and they're heading to outer meadow.

SO WHAT'S HAPPENING?

1) STARS. Wanna ignore this shit and follow your star? Do so here.

2) But for real someone should probably deal with the FENCE and WOLF before Patches lets more murderwolves in.

3) Ain't got time for either of that? Away from the nonsense! Cool! The mist is still creeping about. If you happen to inhale or walk through or otherwise come in contact with the mist, you'll experience on of two effects:
A) Prey - You are suddenly overcome with emotion and extremely clingy. You want someone to comfort you-you might cry on them. You might hug them, begging them to stay with you. You just want someone there with you.

B) Predator - What is this IRRITATION. You're fussy, you're in a sour mood, and you want to know where YOUR PEOPLE ARE. You find yourself being far more protective than normal and snapping at anyone who you deem a threat, or at anyone who doesn't want to be yours.



OR YOU JUST COMPLETELY MISS THIS, IT'S FINE. It's just one wolf! How hard can this be!]

[ he'll eavesdrop a bit for information, but Blood Fiend is casually avoiding eye contact with anyone. after a while, he'll attempt to slink unnoticed back to the lighthouse.

for anyone that happens to be watching (why would you?):

he looks unusually pale, even for him. Clover's good luck had kept him from passing out mid quest, but now that it's wearing off, he definitely uh. looks exactly how you'd expect someone who'd just fried their mind with emotion magic overuse to look. brow furrowed, breath slightly ragged, shaking a little...

also he's in angel cosplay again, halo and angel wings thanks Daisy.

anyway bye surely nobody will perceive him ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[beathollow]

( get perceived idiot

by which i mean, sonata's been keeping a cautious eye on him since they descended to the mural. she watches, almost expressionless, before turning and heading towards clover.


she is only gone for a few minutes, before she returns and, while no one's looking, presses a jar of iced lavender tea into his hand. )

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

?!

[ he blinks, automatically accepting the jar out of surprise more than anything. ]

Sonata? Why —

[ even his voice sounds weaker than usual. minus the adrenaline and good luck buff, he sounds like he's talking through a massive migraine. ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[beathollow]

You look like you're sick. But it's too warm for hot tea. ... It should help you rest. So...

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

I —

[ here, he does make eye contact. shock, confusion and... guilt? flash through his eyes before settling on gratitude. his tail hangs limp. ]

... Thanks.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[beathollow]

... Go rest. I can tell you what we've missed later, when you're feeling better. It's okay.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ he bristles, opening his mouth to argue.

but then his face contorts, eyes flickering with pain, inhaling sharply as the words die in his throat. ]




Okay.

...

Take care.

[ leaving before he can embarrass himself further rofl ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[beathollow]

( --did... she say something wrong? his reaction doesn't escape her and she almost considers stopping him to apologize for whatever it was she did but

that

won't... really help, will it?

...

so she turns away and resumes talking to those who stayed and defended the pasture. she said she'd bring him the information, after all. )

[ oh my god cat daughter not everything is your fault ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[Charon was probably still semi-congregated with other Lilies in the aftermath, but obviously a big group coming back in would get his attention, and one of them looking obviously worse off is notable, when it's pretty obvious the rest haven't been in combat...

so of course he's catching up to him a little way out from the rejoined groups, frowning.]

What happened to you?

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ instantly reaches for Enhan— no i'm kidding he's not that dumb

deadpan, voice notably lacking his usual energy ]

I held hands with Minuet.

[ how is Charon lookin ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[endsjustified]

[kind of the opposite of Blood Fiend but not in like, the pepped and chipper way? instead he looks like he just got some hard and unexpected exercise: hair disheveled, sweat at his temples, a tinge of colour in his face. the normally clean lines of his neutral coat and clothing are in disarray; he moves like he's rather tired, but not like he's injured.]

Dreadful. I can see the toll it took on you was great indeed.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ lips quirk, bites back a laugh because laughing hurts his head ]

Beats getting eaten by a giant snake. Or a mist wolf.

[ he'd caught a little of Odin's explanation before his cat daughter shooed him off. ]

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[endsjustified]

Only one person got eaten, and he was no great loss.

In seriousness, though: are you all right? You do look like you've been chewed up and spat out again, I'm sorry to say.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ he does start laughing at that, then winces as pain shoots through his head. ]

I don't think you know what that looks like.

...

I'm fine, just... tired.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[endsjustified]

[you'd be surprised, Charon almost says, because he does know what that looks like. but he waves it off.]

Did you drain yourself somehow, out there? It takes a lot to have you showing it like this.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

Maybe I'm just weaker than you thought.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[featherduster]

[ Well now that Business™ is concluded, we can return to leisure activities: heckling Blood Fiend. ]

You look like shit, by the way.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ can people stop perceiving him ]

Thanks?

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[featherduster]

I mean, you did even before all that happened, so it probably wasn't just all the friendship that's the problem.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

[ snorts, wincing slightly as pain shoots through his head ]

The friendship was... cute, actually.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[featherduster]

Wow, he admitted it . . .

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[catposting]

I find plenty of things cute, I'll have you know.

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[finalbows]

_{[ somewhere, he feels the urge to insist that's he's elegant, actually ]}

Re: POST STAR SHENANIGANS...?

[featherduster]

Fitting for a guy with cute kitty ears . . .

[ anyway ]

So I guess something else happened before the pasture went to hell?
