RUH ROH
WHO: Everyone
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Day 51, Morning
[GOOOOOD MORNING. It's still a bit chilly out, despite it being sunny, and there's still flurries here and there. All fairly normal and pleasant. Maybe you're out stretching, or collecting the morning milk delivery, or tending to your gardens and sheep. All is peaceful and quiet in the serene pasture.
Until, from the mist, something zips out. An arrow of sorts. It shoots through the air at lightning speed, its target suddenly obvious as it strikes a large landmark in the center of town--the eye of the fountain.
If you weren't awake already, the sudden painful howl from death might do the trick.
Its wail doesn't last, but the eye IS open now. . .by force? The eye seems to be being held open by strange, smokey claws. They are semi tangible, but probably you don't want to touch them.
But wait, that's not all! The ground rumbles a bit before settling? A minor quake? Who knows. But more importantly, in both the pasture within the fence and the meadow, strange mushrooms begin to pop up. Occasionally they shoot out pollen and spores, and drift through the air. They can be picked, but after a few hours, two seem to grow back in their place, so be careful with that.
DANG WONDER WHAT ALL IS GOING ON--oh hey there's Blossom? She's carrying a small basket of biscuits in her mouth along with. . .Bluebell's Shepherd Staff? wuh oh.]
Every~thing is gonna be okay~
. . .
[stares at the mushroom and the eye and]
WHAT IS HAPPENING???
[NOTES:
MUSHROOMS
If you get hit by by the spores, one of three effects are available:
-Level 1, minor effect - No outward effects but plagued with horrible, realistic nightmares to the point of preferring to try to stay awake
-Level 2, Fear Hallucinations; you suddenly see hallucinations of things you fear
-Level 3, Intense feelings of hatred for any particular person suddenly come to the surface/take over, making you prone to violence
Additionally If anyone eats, licks, or otherwise deliberately excessively inhales mushroom spores, let me know *immediately* as it will trigger something unskippable for you. ETA N/M THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS LMAO
Note that these can be avoided by just saying whoops ur character didn't get close to one golly. These effects can lessen over time at your convenience but won't disappear completely until you cure them--how? That's up to yall! MAKE UP A FEAR ANTIDOTE. Ping me if your character tries something and I will yay or nay it.
There is ALSO a source of the mushrooms, but to find it, Stuff will need to happen.
THE EYE
If you try to touch the creepy mist hands, you will instantly pass out unconscious, feel zapped, or feel your heart skip a beat. Don't push your luck for now, but they CAN be removed. How again? Characters will have to make up a way ICly; though in this case a solution won't be approved til oocly after the 15th.

[ and then she finally, FINALLY looks down at who's talking to her and considers.
"In general the ancient Chinese medical texts cite that it [rabbit] enters the Stomach, Spleen, Large Intestine, and Liver."
hm. ]
Ah.
no subject
If you become dead set on eating some, and I do mean dead, let me know so I can watch! I'll even run for help if you stop breathing, that's a good trade, isn't it?
no subject
Do you shed these, or are they permanent?
no subject
They're antlers, of course we can shed them if we need to. Mine are a very impressive example!
no subject
no subject
...I kind of like it, but have to decline. We only shed one antler at a time and it gets annoying having to readjust my hat when it goes lopsided, so I only do it when I know I have a lot of downtime to look forward to. Then I can re-emerge with even cooler looking horns of the same size.

[ oh well. she sighs. ]
It was worth a shot asking, at least. I can't get in trouble for what I'm working with, if they're given to me freely.

Maybe later you'll have something for me that's worth a couple weeks worth of bad hair days.
