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~

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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I have good reason to.

[sweetsmarts]

You say that, but I think you're just a worrywart.

[heavyliesthecrown]

There is nothing wrong with that in this place.

[sweetsmarts]

I think you'll worry yourself sick.

[heavyliesthecrown]

It is alright. I have done fine, all this time, you know?

[sweetsmarts]

Everyone I've met seems worried about you.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . People have been talking about me?

[Ah... ]

Well, I suppose I am grateful that there are people who care enough to worry. Though truly, I am not that bad. Perhaps they are still just worried due to how sick I was for a while. But that was all... just from unfortunate circumstances.

[sweetsmarts]

Such as?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I ended up inside the lazy river in an extreme cold snap. It probably started from that.

[sweetsmarts]

...Why would you do that?

[heavyliesthecrown]

It was not as though I tried to. I was bumped. And highly under the influence of... something. To be honest, I think that weed drugged me somehow.

[She made him drunk.]

[sweetsmarts]

And you think I need lookin' after.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I was not the only one affected by something strange! I cannot be blamed for it!

[sweetsmarts]

Yeah? What was the affect?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I do not even know. Everyone was giggly and overly affectionate. Something along those lines?

[sweetsmarts]

That just sounds like a buncha drunks.

[heavyliesthecrown]

See? I never drank any alcohol, and yet we were all bouncing around stupidly. I believe it was the result of her ritual.

[sweetsmarts]

Guess I'll need to check in on you more often.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am fairly sure you would have been in the same boat.

[sweetsmarts]

Can't prove that.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I cannot, but I know it.

[sweetsmarts]

I think you're just foolin' yourself...

[heavyliesthecrown]

Not at all. I have much more experience than you in this arena, you know? You should listen to Tsukasa-oniichan. ♪

I'm not callin' you that.

[ SHOCKED HIS IDEALS DIDN'T INCLUDE SHADE CALLING HIM ONIICHAN TBH ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[MISSED OPPORTUNITY. (there is still time to ask...) Also yes... Crescendo. weeps.]
