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!]

. . .

He didn't tell you which ones were poisonous.

[the DEEPEST OF SIGHS] Of course he fucking didn't.

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

[noarchitact]

No... b- but Charon can remove the debuff of poison or... something. We'll be fine. Everything is going to be fine. This is easy.

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

[leonheartedly]

Or something.

I'm not too concerned, but even so - gave Crois a heads up, just in case.

[mouths 'thank you' at him from behind Fantasia and Zenith]

[he nods back, someone had to call the doc]

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

[noarchitact]

I don't want it to come to that. [ poison. ] I'm hoping it's not too hard to tell them apart and we can just... do this. I want it to be easy. [ he sighs. ] I... [ he steps closer to tyr, dropping his tone to a whisper. ] I asked Red for some for Zenith.

But that's fine. I would have told Zenith if he wasn't here.

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

[leonheartedly]

I don't think it'll come to that at all, but I like being careful. [and Crois would kill him if he went off to do potentially stupid shit without a heads up at least. He tilts his head, but also lowers his voice to whisper] Why's that?

But I know you would have. You're not stupid.

[ because i'm gay for zenith. ]

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

[noarchitact]

[ still a whisper, ] I'm going to make him a drone to match mine. I thought it could be handy. And cute.

Thank you. [ charon just told him he doesn't offer therapy. rude!!! ]

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

[leonheartedly]

. . . that is pretty cute.

[he has nothing to say about the couple's therapy though, or at least nothing he's saying out loud]

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

[noarchitact]

[ beams! ] I'm really looking forward to this. Vibrato has been lonely... because I, well, ...I'm bad at splitting my attention between him and Tempo. I think a friend will help. And they're useful too.

And if he likes this gift then... maybe I can give him something else.

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

[leonheartedly]

I hope he does like it. At the very least, it's the thought that counts, right?

Something else? Or do you want to keep it a secret?

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

[noarchitact]

I haven't decided yet. [ he has. a little. ]

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

[leonheartedly]

. . . well, tell me when you have, then.

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

[noarchitact]

Okay.

[ he is going to attempt to focus on the mushrooms, so he doesn't die of embarrassment. ] Let's start looking.

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

[leonheartedly]

[note to self tease Fantasia about Zenith later.

But he nods and starts helping to look for mushrooms; unfortunately he knows very little about which ones are and aren't poisonous, but he is being careful not to touch any before they can determine that]

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

[noarchitact]

[ fantasia's knowledge about mushrooms is... minimal, so while he can steer them clear of the more obviously poison ones, there are several that look similar, and that makes it difficult. ] I'm not sure which of these could be... non toxic. [ looks between two clusters. ]

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

[leonheartedly]

Mushrooms weren't part of my survival training, so your guess is as good as mine.

Just be careful when you touch them - that much I know.

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

[noarchitact]

[ and... hesitates. ]

[ going to summon a vine to pick them. ]

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

[leonheartedly]

[. . . he snorts softly]

Good idea.
