RITUAL 16 - GIVETHANKINGS RITUAL END

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Sheep
WHERE: Pasture
WHEN: Morning 44

[The festivities (???) continue through sunrise, with the buffet refreshing foods to keep them fresh. By morning, the table also includes an array of standard breakfast grabs, like various eggs, bacon, pastries, and porridge.

But soon the hedgehog sheep pokemon demon thing reappears, waking up any sleeping sheep with a gentle ringing bell. Also, if you want more food, this is your last chance to grab a plate, as it starts to magically disintegrate--any on your plates will stay there though.]

I see now! You all really are a community of thanks and gratitude. I have misjudged you all! In that case, I'll continue lending my power. Do your best little sheep, and thank you!!

[Every team receives memory coins and one 25lb bag of rice per team. (variety your choice)
Daffodil and Clover will notice when they return to their dorms, all their food stores have been restored. eta also Peony's one sandwich.
Every person may also keep a plate of food that can be piled high with non-status effect food from the buffet, and also ONE SERVING of any/all team-status effect foods.
As a team, you may also all pick ONE status-effect dish that was your favorite overall for the whole team and keep one whole dish of that.

Thank you for playing!! The wilderness itself is still sparse--fewer animals/fish and crops growing slower, but rations have been restored!! Also Daffodil go here.]

MEANWHILE AT COCO'S

[wooliefrand]

[If Daff goes to check on Coco, they'll find the demon is there, giving her a polite bow before waddling off to disappear into its rune. Last chance to ask questions!!

Also, their wheel has been updated.]

Gracias, amigo! We appreciate you taking care of us as well as our señorita here.

[beathollow]

Oh...

Thank goodness!

( later though, she's going to the fountain and is just going to toss the coin immediately, because fuck it. maybe nothing will happen. ... except something does- )

... Dysguesia...? Ah...

[rugpull]

Food is back in our lives~

[heavyliesthecrown]

Ah. Is this something you have been suffering from all this time, Miss Sonata? Can you not properly taste food?

[hardpity]

[ bringing

one sandwich and a sack of rice back to peony ig ]

I guess a kitchen should really be on our list...

[rugpull]

A kitchen is the heart of the home.

[beathollow]

Oh, um- before you go, I remembered something that may help with setting up. Would you wait just a moment?

[quarantotto]

A lower priority, but getting one eventually would be wise.

[sunflowering]

At least in the meantime, there's that community kitchen!

[secondbornsun]

[ 1) just straight up gives biscuit his plate. go fill it up with food or whatever
2) after the business with coco he's going back home and lying down on his face in his bedroom. he's so fucking tired man
3) during the initial pipes breaking panic when tart just deadass decided to walk into the ocean go hunting and not come back until they had Something he brought back a single gatordawg so that's somewhere in the house for people to make something out of it

[finalbows]

<sub>[ eating his goddamn breakfast spinach pastry.

was this truly worth it. was it.

...

well... a lot of people do have happy looks on their faces, objectively... ]</sub>

[heavyliesthecrown]

Are you enjoying that...?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[His memory coin will immediately go into the fountain!

. . . The memory has nothing to do with his father. But it takes place when he was around six or seven again, with his cousin.

In it, not only does he become a GOD (of his garden). But he learns the secret to life.

It... sort of explains the way he is rather well.

Also apparently he did, in fact, eat a bug once.]

Hmm...

[Of course, alternatively, or alongside it, you can see his second memory as he tosses in another coin he owns. This one seems to be a performance and is with more than just his own unit.

((lyrics+full song))]

[electricflock]

[running small laps around daffodil's garden]

It's back! Is back, is back, is back!

Day 43, evening (lightly backdated)

[wants_the_phd]

[Once the sun has set, Azdaja has rounded up Crois, Tyr, and Lethe around the firepit outside Lily barn to help with a Blossom quest to get a freezer for the clinic. While those four people are the only ones necessary for the quest, anyone is welcome to wander past and participate if they so desire. The fire is warm and bright, and (since this takes place while the ritual is still ongoing) there are plenty of magic ritual foods to nosh on while warming up.]

Mingle

[wants_the_phd]

[A subheader for chatting and hanging out]

Stories

[wants_the_phd]

[A subheader for "telling stories about home," as the quest requires.]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ At some point after the ritual, Ananke's stopping by the fountain to toss in a couple of saved up memory coins.

The first is fairly short — surprising his father with a gift earned by offering up his future as collateral. Ananke looks conflicted watching this one, equal parts proud and confused. He doesn't stop watching the image of his dad until it fades out of view again.

The second is a much more confusing flurry of action. Sub-dimensions, world rippers, three Anankes??! Whatever the hell is happening, it's clear by the end that Ananke's found the target he was looking for.

Back at the edge of the fountain, current Ananke is holding his head and squinting at the fading memory ]

That one felt weird.

adds to our thread pile

[catposting]

[ here, looking impressed ]

Good weird? Bad weird? Weird-weird?

[shortforever]

[The fact that the event was pretty chill makes me feel not at all guilty for picking an awful memory for this.

Anyway, Odin flicks his coin into the fountain, not expecting much since the last few coins got fun/cheesy memories, but then this shows: CW: reanimated corpses, body horror

Odin normally seems a bit annoyed by these intrusive memories, but this one is actually kind of hard to watch. It isn't until the memory is over that he's able to let out the breath he was holding in.]

Tch, why is stuff about him coming back again?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Odin-kun...?

[That was... quite the dramatic memory. He glances him over, trying to evaluate how he is feeling after all that.]
