WHO: Everyone
WHERE: Everywhere
WHEN: Day 32, Morning to Afternoon

[RISE AND SHINE SHEEP. The morning shower is done and you're likely going about your lives! MAYBE YOU HAD SOME NEGOTIATIONS? MAYBE YOU'RE TEACHING SHIT? Nice. All is well and people totally have not been kidnapped!!

Anyway, sometime early afternoon, a brief but fierce wind sweeps thru the pasture, and there's a rumbling as the mist begins to shift again. Wowie, what could have happened-- oh. Oh look, a good? Thing?? A LOT of mist has cleared, but not the mist that has started over taking the meadow. Instead, a whole new area of the pasture has been revealed. Huh! Might wanna check that out.

Meanwhile though, while Lily is Lilying and minding their business, Ananke will suddenly find himself hit in the head with the shepherd's staff as it launches itself at his face. That's probably normal.

SO WHAT ARE YALL UP TO]

I didn't. But...

... Did you know, that Lyra used to be Clover's shepherd...? The crook... did something similar, when she no longer was able to...

Ah...

I can't find him.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

I- how can I help? This has happened before- Shadow Fiend just left and came back and resumed shepherding, so- so it might not be permanent, but-

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

—That's right, Rose! Who was temp— Angel Devil, right?

Do you know if he could sense her while she was gone?

Re: Done

[beathollow]

I'm afraid I don't. But, I can go ask if you'd like? That way you have a little less to worry about...

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

I'll ask—but maybe you should too? I dunno if he'll tell me the truth or not.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

... That's- I'm not sure what's up with him lately. But- he's always been good to me. So, maybe if he doesn't give you an answer, it won't be the same.

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

I heard something about his rationality literally leaving his body during the ritual, but I don't know what's been up with him the rest of the time.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

Nothing he'll readily admit to, I'm sure.

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

I get the impression he doesn't admit to much.

[ Placing a cubecall ]

Re: Done

[beathollow]

( she listens, quietly... )

I think he was telling the truth. I've... also been unable to contact Blood Fiend...

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

... He could still come back.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

He could. Shadow Fiend did.

( and... so did off-beat. but he's on a different flock.

doesn't remember clover.



so she's going to wisely not say this at all. )

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

But Angel Devil could sense her. I don't have a read on Charon at all.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

... There is one person who's gone missing but we know is still in the pasture- Sugar, from Daffodil. We could ask Tart his experience too.

( after a moment, she takes his hand in hers with a light squeeze. )

We'll figure this out.

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

Sugar, huh... I'll ask him about it.

[ he doesn't really react at first, but squeezes her hand back after a moment ]

Thanks.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

Mm. I hope... I hope it's only temporary.

Re: Done

[spinebuddyandme]

Me too... This is the last thing Lily needed right now.

Re: Done

[beathollow]

You won't have to endure it alone, at least. This much I can promise.
