[ritual 10 - this is the greatest show]

[crittersheep]

WHO: A blossoming new Weed amidst a garden of sheep
WHERE: the pasture just outside the town's fence
WHEN: day 30, nighttime

COME ONE! COME ALL!! STEP RIGHT UP FOR THE GRANDEST SHOW OF YOUR LIFE! WATCH WITH BATED BREATH AS YOU ARE ENCHANTED AND MYSTIFIED, DRAGGED INTO THE COLORFUL REALM OF TALE AFTER TALE, TOLD BY THE REMARKABLY TALENTED. . . JESTER'S JOYFUL DRAMA CLUB!!

[the voice is echoing and booming, rolling across the entire pasture like thunder. those who hear its call are drawn beyond the fence of the village, either by natural curiosity or a compulsion that forces their legs forward]

[beyond the fence, someone has set up a beautiful outdoor stage. In the center of the stage is a freshly conjured blood rune! and in the middle of that rune stands a demon ram, dressed like a circus ringleader, top hat tucked between his hooves. as people arrive, he sweeps a wooly arm in front of himself, taking a bow to greet everyone with dramatic bravo]

[are you ready for this??]

The problem is, that team that betrayed you? There's only one adult on that team.

And he was with me in the clinic the whole time.

Sonata and Lyra are children too.

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[afineknight]

Exactly. Spinel, too.

So it becomes this . . . gray area. And then again, if childen want to be treated as adults, what then?

[ He shrugs. He doesn't have an answer.

it all just sucks. ]

[ a little nod ]

It's exhausting. There's nothing clear cut about it.

... I wish I could do more.

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[afineknight]

For now, look after them.

And . . . do make certain you stop by the clinic at some point to have your own injuries tended to.

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[belltolling]

Oh -- I will. To be honest, I almost forgot about them..

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[afineknight]

Well, don't. And don't make me hunt you down tomorrow.

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[belltolling]

-- I'll get them looked at before then, I promise!

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[afineknight]

Good! If nothing else, I will visit Clover tomorrow and you can come with me then.

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[belltolling]

[ wahhh ]

It would be nice if you came, even if it's just to check on the rest of them...

Re: FOUNTAIN TIME

[afineknight]

I will make a point of it, do not worry.

Thank you, again, mister Crois.
