Outta my head

WHO: All
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Day 26 All Day

[WHAT UP SHEEP WHO ARE NOT WANDERING INTO THE MIST LATER. Hope you're having a good day!! Even the requisite storms are in a good mood, as they last extremely briefly, barely wetting the ground, giving people plenty of sunshine to mill about and do their things!

HOWEVER by afternoon, Blossom is hanging around the town square, muttering to herself as she draws a rune in the ground.]

D-dangit Stormy I know you're here!! This will make you come out--OOF!.

[she suddenly trips over the rune, and it lights up. . .and fireworks??? shoot into the air from it, exploding in an array of rainbow like colors. But after the display, they rain back down. Not as fizzling sparks but globs of paint in various colors. Weird!!

Blossom runs in circles, making a concentrated effort to not get hit by any paint. Unfortunately, maybe YOU do.]


Ooooooh no. Oh no.


[TIME TO ERASE THE RUNE AND SKITTER OFF GOODBYE]

[OOC: MINGLE but with a gimick--if you get hit by any paint, people nearby can hear your inner thoughts. Oops!! It can wear off as soon as they clean the paint off them, or can last until evening, up to you! If you do not wish to engage in this nonsense, simply say you didn't get hit and use this mingle for whatever. TY!!]

Bad habits, yeah. It's good ya ain't as bad, really. Could help with keepin' others from pushin' it.

[spinebuddyandme]

You really think anyone would listen to me?

[ohlord]

Was thinkin' a more "lead by example" kinda thing. Harder to just shake people outta their habits by talkin' to 'em a couple've times. Plus, we got some stubborn idiots.

[Lethe, for sure.



himself, yeah.]

[spinebuddyandme]

I don't think "lead by example" works when it's one kid versus a bunch of adults. I can try, but don't hold your breath for it.

[ohlord]

Adults are always gonna pull the adult card but it doesn't mean that they're right or they actually know any better.

1/3

[ Snorts ]

I know that, but I don't think it really applies here. I know how to live in a peaceful place, not a weird sub-hell dimension.

[spinebuddyandme]

The only stuff they ever taught us about surviving anything close to this was hiding, first aid, and waiting.

[ He doesn't seem particularly distressed as he explains this. More serious, certainly, but not much more than that. ]

[spinebuddyandme]

Literally everyone else here knows more about what's going on and what to do than me. You're all soldiers or mercenaries or...whatever Lethe is. You know how to deal with being in danger and what has to be done to get out of it.

How am I supposed to know when you might be wrong?

[ohlord]

Not about right or wrong. Just... better or worse, I guess.

... I don't got a concept of "normal" like you or even Lethe's got--he's got his weird shit, too, but you and he got similar kinda "normal" when ya were kids, so.

Sometimes, experiencin' that kinda normal is really... more for people who don't know anythin' about it than you'd think.

But people don't like to put that kinda pressure on others, either. So. Just an idea.

[spinebuddyandme]

...I can keep it in mind. Maybe I can do something the next time we have an enforced rest day.

[ohlord]

Should probably make a point to try to do that once a week or somethin'...

[spinebuddyandme]

Twice a week if we can.
