WHO: Sheep
WHERE: The Fountain and Elsewhere
WHEN: Day 41, Morning

[GOOD MORNING SHEEP. You may have been awoken by your OWN sheep--as they seem to be very active this morning, bleating, and gathering at the fountain. It looks like it's offering time, as the gathered sheep have left offerings to their new gods among the crystal flowers, despite Blossom's protests.]

NO!! For the last time they aren't gods, they're--you! Stop praying!! W-weh,,,

[oh well!!

MEANWHILE, some people may have noticed it's a chillier this morning. Not uncomfortable, just a sharp contrast to the usual pleasant, mild temperature of the pasture. Additionally, for anyone venturing out into the meadows, you'll notice there is far less wildlife around, including the pygmydillos, birds, and fish. That's probably not a bad omen or anything.

Anyway, while you're at the fountain, you may catch the eye closing and the glow on those antlers fading. Looks like Death's taking a break!]

[has on both his hats. admiring the cute wonderful PERFECT PICTURE drawn of him]

This almost makes me not panic almost. Thank you lil' sheep.

[allomantic]

Does this happen often...?

[terraria]

( holding a handmade capture basket, used for fishing. )

You didn't get any bites either, then.

[eonsadrift]

...they have interesting timing, but we didn't seem to get anything useful.

[finalefantasy]

[Teleute -- who showed up in her human form, without a hint of blue to it this time -- picks up the offerings meant for her, frowns down at them for a moment, and then vanishes.]

[rugpull]

[who the fuck was that]

Who the fuck was that.

[...oh well. anyway.]

Oh well. Anyway.

[GOOD MORNING ROSE 70 POUNDS OF CATBIRD IS CRASHING AGAINST YOUR WINDOW

he's wearing glowstick sunglasses]

EYE'S SHUT

[rugpull]

[looking at rose from afar

get their asses bb]

[wants_the_phd]

[watching him from the plastic bubble window]



[Sigh.]

[This happened so much sooner than she'd hoped.]

[Yelling though a crack in the plastic so muffin can hear:] Alright, I'm coming down.

[pleasantmisery]

Wow, that was fast! Be right out!

[allomantic]

—Who are you?

[aididitmyway]

Okay, this is still weird, but...

They're still pretty good with giving cute things out.

[rugpull]

What's yer haul?

[wants_the_phd]

[Presumably after bringing Angie's body out to thaw in the sun, Azdaja has gathered up her offerings, which include a plush of her dragon² form, a kite of her black and red mermaid form, a pile of rodent bones, and a copy of the short story To Serve Man. The latter she's reading through with some thoughtful consideration.]

[finalbows]

_{[ literally thawing ]}

[noarchitact]

[ Fantasia seems pleased with his haul, as does Tempo… who is chirping happily beside him with his own couple of things. ]

Pii pi pi piii!

I know, Tempo, it seems like you’re pretty popular. Your chainsaw too.

[rugpull]

Tempo the best boy here.

[leonheartedly]

[Tyr is carefully opening the bottle of cologne to see what it smells like—

And then looks away to sneeze into his sleeve]

[allomantic]

What is it?

[arrowace]

[ looking at the broken hand-mirror like it personally pissed in their cheerios ]

[spinebuddyandme]

You should just throw that one away.

[shortforever]

[Odin now has a container of fake blood. And sets of fake vampire teeth, but he's holding up the fake blood right now.]

Oh this is going to be useful.

[Later on he will hold a set of the fake teeth in his fingers and 'bite' people with them. For laughs.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

You can have mine, too, if you like it so much.

[debug_mode]

Go on, worship us!

[cheering the sheep on, because why not!]

[beathollow]

( there's a loud chorus of BAAAA and a tiny rumble as a bunch of green sheep swarm. and then just as quickly they're gone, but sitting at the fountain is a still-sleepy looking sonata who's mostly just confused. one of the lingering sheep sets the dragonata plushie in her lap. soft...

but, ah, whaddahell... )

... Huh.

[debug_mode]

[She was near the fountain anyway and sees her.]

Sonata!

[Gives her a wave, from far enough away to actually warrant a yell, at least.]

[readytosqueeze]

[ ok but like

why

anyway he's taking some time to squeeze every one of those thistle sheep at the fountain and not in a particularly friendly way



at least they're plush enough to where he's probably not hurting them??? ]

[eonsadrift]

...I really didn't think you were being literal when you said you squeeze things.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Why matches...? I am not quite sure I understand.

[He's holding his book of matches, as well as an arrow with a heart tip, a drawing of himself and Leviathan, a fairy snowblob, some fake blood and-- well, there are a bunch of little things.

He's munching on some candy corn.]

Some of these offerings are certainly bizarre. But the candy is quite good.

[strateelgic]

[Reaches over to steal some of his candy corn...]

[adorabrawler]

[ Somewhere around the pasture, Spinel stands with a wooden paddle, holding it up like a batter ready to swing at an imaginary ball. Should anyone wander by close enough, she'll stare thoughtfully for a long moment, still in position....... and then: ]

Naaah. This is too flimsy for that.

[debug_mode]

You're thinking of how you're going to break my kneecaps!?

Angie's Resurrection Party

[wants_the_phd]

[It has taken a while, but eventually, by some method or other, Angel Devil's corpse has been thawed AND transported to the fountain, though not necessarily in that order. In the time it has taken for him to limber up, relevant parties have been notified and all of his offerings have been collected, most of which are prayers for his swift return to this mortal coil.]

Alright. Who'd like to do the honors?

Muffin?

[electricflock]

Um, I can. I don't mind.

[he might cry about it but he's already cried at LEAST twice waiting for angel devil to thaw out, this won't be a new sight]

closed to zenith, tyr, and charon - forwarded to afternoon 41.

[noarchitact]

[ kaveh has cubecalled all three of them asking them to meet him at the edge of the forest, because red has asked him to do a 'difficult' quest. this time it involves mushrooms and embarrassing secrets... and if he could have just done it four times over he would have, but he needed a few friends. ]

[ he waits anxiously by the forest, with tempo at his side chirping up a storm, because he's excited to hear what the others end up sharing. he's a gossipy little tool box. ]

Re: closed to zenith, tyr, and charon - forwarded to afternoon 41.

[eonsadrift]

[ He shows up quickly enough, because it's Kaveh, but he doesn't look very happy to be there. ]

We'd better get this over with quickly.

[AT SOME POINT]

[wooliefrand]

[just chillin, grumpy as usual, then--]



Do you hear that?

Re: [AT SOME POINT]

[wooliefrand]

Huh? Hear what? I'm still trying to round up the shee--
