Daffodil Funeral... Party

[thefinalcontract]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Red's Shop
WHEN: Day 46, night
WHAT: It's a funeral but also a party. But definitely a funeral.

You've probably heard but Red died earlier today. It was wack. Hecked up you might say.

Well, Daffodil takes their parties very seriously. And Cinnamon takes funerals very seriously. And there's no reason why it can't just be the same thing.

Either way. There's refreshments. Paper flowers and candles in a little makeshift shrine area, with Crois's drawing as the center piece, so you can pay your respects AND a bucket of water so you can reminisce about your favorite times with Red with those new memory coins.

Go ahead, tell your favorite stories about him. You... You all love Red right? Yeah you do.

Comments

Before the funeral kicks off...

[thefinalcontract]

[He's diligently making paper flowers since it's rather cold and real ones are just a luxury we can't afford for Red. That's just how it is.

If there's a particular weed that wants to help out she is more than welcome to. But anyone can assist. Cinna is very content to do this by himself as it was his idea and the norm back home. The arrangements for funerals and the rites that take place are his responsibility, after all.]

[she does show up]

Hey there! I've arrived. As promised.

Or at least implied.

[leaves a small packet of roasted hazelnuts and clasps his hands together]

Thanks for that time you gave my hunting snares free upgrade. And also for all the crayons I've gotten for my sheep. I know we go through a lot of yellow ones.

[thefinalcontract]

[Clasps his hands together as well with Muffin.]

Red gave you all those things...? I remember when we first met [6 days ago...] you spoke of coloring the sheep.

[PUT A JOKE IN HERE OR SOMETHING. I KNOW TART WILL]

'heard this from a couple sheep. Apparently, at the scene'a the crime, they found Red in a suitcase.

"Is he moving?" asked one of 'em.

"That'd explain the suitcase," said the other.

[afineknight]

You know? Red told me last week, he saw an advertisement for burial plots. And he thought, "pardner, this? This is the last thing I need."

Re: [COMEDY HOUR IF YOU DON'T RESPECT RED]

[electricflock]

What do...


[looks at the shrine Cinnamon made...]

...Why did the fox cross the road?

To get to the chicken on the other side.

[leonheartedly]

What do you call an ant that's into business?

A merchant.

[thefinalcontract]

[Absolutely go for it... :3c ]

[secondbornsun]

[ bundled up and sitting somewhere because this is a daffodil rite so I Guess(TM) but he also has tossed his own memory coin for greed ]

May he never be forgotten, or whatever.

[thefinalcontract]

[Witnesses The Memory.]

Mmm... That wasn't a very good deal. I wonder if he's just not a very good negotiator and says whatever pops into his head.

Did you end up taking it?

[electricflock]

Blossom's quest was better.

[catposting]

Guess you got a better deal elsewhere.

[rugpull]

Somewhere lies Red I don't care that he's dead.

[biscuit]

[secondbornsun]

What a poet.

[afineknight]

[ Crois tosses his own memory coin in for chaos ]

Rest in pieces, my friend.

[thefinalcontract]

Technically speaking he was still in one piece when we found him. But after the sheep took him...

[Perhaps not anymore? That's rather grim.

Anyway... Witnesses The Memory.]

Oh what he asked you to do was quite... [It sure was something.] I do understand the dislike for him a bit better now.

[survivaltricks]

[anyone who was at fight club saw that Lupin was both outwardly cheery but also a little tense, a little too eager to FIGHT IT OUT for?? reasons??? but anyway, he seems to have released whatever tension was bothering him this morning]

[he's munching on some mango-flavored kitkats when he sees this set up]

[and immediately turns around to leave]

Target Spoted.

[thefinalcontract]

Hold on there.

[He sees you. He saw you. This is his funeral or uh... party. And everyone gets greeted.]

Did you get a chance to pay your respects?

[jerkalope]

[ might be easy to overlook but there's a funny looking rabbit in a tattered cloak and hat sniffing near the picture of Red. ]

Hooh, is this a party or a funeral? Or both? What kind of a character was this Red to deserve such a reception?

[ very implied in the tone: what kind of characters are you to be celebrating it? ]

[thefinalcontract]

[Bunny... He's going to pet him.]

It's a funeral but... a funeral can be considered a celebration of the life lived. Red was a shop keep who got people what they needed.

[And that's all he can really say about his character.]

[catposting]

[ sure, why not? tosses a memory coin in for death ]

See you in two days, pardner.

[thefinalcontract]

[Memory Witnessed.]

He had you play such a dangerous game in exchange for bullets...?

[Everything he's heard thus far about Red is starting to make so much sense.]

That seems... well, rather egregious.

[featherduster]

[ DAFFODIL . . . ]

Are. Are we doing these now?

[thefinalcontract]

Funeral rites are important.

[As if that explains everything.]

And we cannot be certain if Red will come back... I thought it best for those that might be grieved by his rather sudden and alarming passing.

[He glances at some of the other Daffodils having a comedy hour.]

The jokes were not my idea, however...

[debug_mode]

Red and I were not especially close. But, at least I could count on a fair deal from him.

Which is more than I can expect from the majority of the pasture.

He will be missed.

[wooliefrand]

[at some point


hey daffodil did you feel like getting hit with a star piece. it probably just hit someone in the head and didn't break a window. maybe.]

[thefinalcontract]

[Doink!]
