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!]

Doesn't hurt to have multiple ways of dealin' with... stuff...

[ this sheep is now done being wrung out, but it doesn't look particularly hurt

if anything it looks better than it did before......... ]

... 'sides, it's not violence. It's 'physical intimidation'.

[eonsadrift]

That's one way of putting it. It's preferable to teaching them how to be cowards, I suppose.

[readytosqueeze]

Exactly... I guess.

[ the sheep makes a 'nyeh' sound before hopping out of his arms and away ]

Rather they just have some kinda backbone. Then again if I keep squishing 'em...

[ soft ]

[eonsadrift]

Hm, true. You'll squish the backbone out of them.

Perhaps you should give them another outlet, instead.

[readytosqueeze]

I like throwin' em.

They roll funny, too.

[eonsadrift]

You're just using them as stress balls at this point.

[readytosqueeze]

They don't seem stressed out 'bout it.

Then again it's not like I gnaw on 'em so...

[eonsadrift]

Oh, great. I do truly wonder what kind of influence that's going to have on them...

[readytosqueeze]

Probably nothin'. They got flat teeth.

[ right????¿ ]

[eonsadrift]

Maybe they'll start chewing on clothes.

[readytosqueeze]

No harm in that. You got spares, right?

[eonsadrift]

I'd rather they learn better habits than that.

Like washing clothes, instead.

[readytosqueeze]

Oh, there's no easier way to wash clothes than swimmin' real fast with them in your hands.

[eonsadrift]

...

That just gets them wet. Not clean.

[readytosqueeze]

There's a difference?

[eonsadrift]

A large one.

[readytosqueeze]

I dunno. Doesn't feel like one to me...

Ehehe. Maybe you should let me hang onto ya while I swim as fast as I can, and you can tell me what ya think later.

[eonsadrift]

What makes you think I would ever want to do something like that? If I wanted that kind of experience, I'd go swim in one of the machines in the laundromat.

[readytosqueeze]

[ looks ]

... you'd fit but it'd be a pretty tight squeeze, huh.

[eonsadrift]

That isn't the point I was making!

[readytosqueeze]

Probably wouldn't be as fun as swimmin' with me.

Just sayin'!

'sides, waitin' for clothes to get washed and dried is borin'. You could go with me and then after you could... uh... fly 'round to dry.

[eonsadrift]

I can dry myself off with anemo, that's not the problem here.

The problem is I don't want to be dragged through the water.

[readytosqueeze]

Not even by me?

[eonsadrift]

I might not be as fast as you are, but I can at least keep up with you! You don't need to drag me.

[readytosqueeze]

Ehhhh...

I guess.

At least it's nice knowin' someone 'round here that ain't my brother or myself is good in the water.
