WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[so you're taking in the sights and sounds and smells of the fun activities and food of the festival that's going on right now. you're probably having a great time putting off all the concerns and worries and totally aren't overwhelmed or anything.

unless you are.

in which case, GOOD NEWS! another booth has opened up and it's LILY BARN offering up their ritual rites. they have put together a small sized room-like space that looks very plain on the inside, but maybe very different on the inside (illusions, man, they're great for that).

Styx is chilling against the structure waving at people as they stop by. he's even got a helper ghost sheep to hold your shit if you got things from places. it's fine.]

WHAT'S UP? aka Styx Explains Shit/Ask Styx Shit

We're supposed to be offerin' up some sympathetic ears and life changin' advice or somethin', so if ya got somethin' to get off yer chest--don't gotta be anythin' huge, just whatever helps lighten the load, go on in and a Lily'll help ya out.

Illusions mean we can make it so ya don't haveta show yer faces, or we can even make it so ya don't have to know which Lily ya get. Go off. Let it out. Get it off yer chest--hell, confess to some sins if you're feelin' particularly sinful, we got at least one Lily that's done the preachin' thing before.

Can't promise it'll fix anythin' but maybe you'll feel better, after.

HAVE FUN!))

Shhh

I like to watch my flock-mates sleep. I believe in part it is for security, yes, but more than that, I like to see them still and at peace. As if no harm lies waiting in their future. As if they will never die.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

O-okay, well. You probably shouldn't do that without permission.

[ pause ]

B-but you're like... forgiven I think? I-if that's how this works...

Re: Shhh

[spinebuddyandme]

[ this has startled Ananke right out of his own Anonymous Illusion ]

...Uh...





Are there...other times when they're at peace? And not asleep?

[whitecollarcrime]

Is that something strange enough to confess about? I do that too.

[whitecollarcrime]

Wait, which of you said that?

[hardpity]

You WHAT

-- I mean!

[whitecollarcrime]

Me.

[whitecollarcrime]

You WHAT??

[terraria]

You what?!

Re: Shhh

[herdtestimony]

If I asked permission, they might seek to make me stop. But that would be a tactical error.

[whitecollarcrime]

I watch you sleep for security reasons and to reassure myself you still live.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

That's not how it works.

Re: Shhh

[herdtestimony]

I don’t know.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

I thought that was how it worked.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

You're correct. It's better to be more discreet so you don't discomfort them.

[herdtestimony]

Former allies have had mixed opinions on the practice, as you see.

[whitecollarcrime]

Can't you guys just do work near by someone sleeping like a SANE person? Jesus.

Re: Shhh

[herdtestimony]

So this confession was itself a tactical error.

Troubling.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

Forgiveness given to someone without signs of remorse or repentance means jackshit.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

Indeed. But you're anonymous and I think part of the covenant is that we do not speak of this to others, so your secret is safe with all seven of us.

Re: Shhh

[herdtestimony]

I see. Thank you.

[spinebuddyandme]

Wait — seriously?

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

Okay, well. Little creepy there, buddy, but maybe the issue's more you should be talking it out with your flock-mates about why you feel that way about it.

Re: Shhh

[whitecollarcrime]

You're welcome. I hope you'll be able to continue safeguarding your flock's sleep without troubling it. I'm happy that your flock has someone so dedicated to their protection.
