Rise and Shine

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’s going to shove another one into his mouth and you can’t stop him. look, he’s getting hungry, and clearly the mushrooms will help with that, right… right…! ]

[eonsadrift]

Don't just eat things you find on the ground! [ Nevermind they all ate those mushrooms already, he's grabbing at Fantasia's hands to keep him from eating more. ]

[endsjustified]

[Charon and Tyr aren't THAT far away from them so maybe they can just

all pick up Fantasia before he accidentally eats one of the toxic ones next]

[leonheartedly]

—Fantasia, cut it out.

[yeah maybe we should just manhandle him into not doing more stupid stuff]

[noarchitact]

It is just a mushroom. And we already ate one! I'm just having another one, a snack! [ as soon as he eats the second mushroom he oozes to the ground, feeling even more relaxed than before, which earns an almost delirious sounding chuckle. ] I feel like I did during that game... no stress and no anxiety. [ can he be on shrooms all the time?! ]

[eonsadrift]

[ He called you guys over here to HELP, please manhandle him!! But with Fantasia on the ground, Zenith is just going to sit on top of him. ]

You worry way too much.

[endsjustified]

[BOYS,

looks at Tyr. points at Fantasia]

You get that one. We can take them back to...to...we can take them back.

[he just picks Zenith up off Fantasia instead]

[leonheartedly]

To that way.

[he jerks his head in the direction they came from, see he knows where they're goin'.

But yeah he's just gonna lean over and pick Fantasia up, let's go buddy]

[noarchitact]

[ tries to grab at zenith as he's picked up. ] NO, GIVE HIM BACK! [ flails at charon... or tries. his coordination is garbage and tyr is picking him up, so he's really just kind of a wriggly pain in the ass. ] GIVE ME BACK MY BOYFRIEND!! HE'S MINE!

[eonsadrift]

[ He's like a limp noodle as Charon picks him up. The mushrooms have made his motor functions slow enough to be practically nonexistent. ] Fantasia! Shut up! I told them to do this, since you're- [ double drugged.] -because we have to get back somehow. We did what we were supposed to do.

...right? [ He just. Looks over at Charon and Tyr for confirmation. And help. Please help. ]

[endsjustified]

[thinks about the most helpful possible thing he can say here]

We're not stealing him.

If we don't remove you from here, you and Zenith will get eaten by gators.

[leonheartedly]

[why are you WIGGLING Fantasia he can't potato sack you properly if you do that!!]

Stop squirming—

We'll get in trouble if we get eaten.

1/3

[noarchitact]

What?! How could you, Zenith, telling them to kidnap you. Are you trying to get away from me!?

[noarchitact]

Wait...

What? [ he is so fucken confused. yes? no? yes? no? his head hurts. ]

Gators?!

[noarchitact]

[ sorry to tyr, specifically, who has to deal with him going ham in his arms. ] If we're trying to escape killer cros then I got this. Let me at them! Zenith likes when I kick names and take ass.

[eonsadrift]

[ Charon has a much easier time, Zenith is just going to let him carry him without fuss. ]

They're taking us to the same place together, and I can't carry you and you can't walk and I don't wanna stay out in the forest all day with these stupid mushrooms!

[endsjustified]

Do not…fight crocodiles.

[they are heading vaguely barnsward. probably more towards Clover where Fantasia has fewer sharp things to brandish in a drugged state]

Listen to Zenith. He will enjoy it more if you both lie down and have a nap.

[leonheartedly]

[THROWING FANTASIA OVER HIS SHOULDER WHEN HE HAS THE CHANCE]

Listen to Charon, he's smart.

And if there are crocodiles I'll shoot 'em, it'll be fine.

[noarchitact]

[ goes dead body limp. ]

You have a gun? Let me see. [ DON'T LET HIM SEE. ]

[ although he will be getting handsy in an attempt to find it. ]

[eonsadrift]

...I wish I knew how you remain this calm, Charon... [ He's jealous. He can't control his emotions at all right now. ]

[ TO TYR: ] Don't let him see.

[endsjustified]

The deader my tone and expression the more I am suppressing the natural urge to toss someone into the nearest body of water.

...

Not you. You're fine.

[also he illusions a water pistol just above Tyr's shoulder, so maybe Fantasia will get handsy with Tyr in a safer area]

[leonheartedly]

I swear to god Fantasia I will suplex you if you don't stop that.

[THANK YOU CHARON HE APPRECIATES YOUR ILLUSIONS]

Or I'll teach Charon how and he'll do it since he wants to throw someone.

[noarchitact]

[ whispers, ] Hot.

[ at that he peers at charon and zenith from over his shoulder. ] If you even think about throwing Zenith I'll throw you.

[eonsadrift]

Don't threaten him with a good time, Tyr.

[ .........he does he want to repeat the same phrase to Fantasia, but instead he just addresses Charon. ]

Good to know. For future... nonsense.

[endsjustified]

[BECAUSE OF THE SHROOMS HE JUST MUTTERS, PERHAPS UNHELPFULLY]

Don't threaten me with a good time.
