Ritual 19 - Vengeance

WHO: Sheep
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Evening, Day 54 (to give some buffer to post-rescue talks during the day)

[Well THAT was a trip. But everyone is returned home relatively safely, the mushrooms are under control, and Death's eye is closed. Maybe things can return to semi-normalcy.

Lol. Lmao.

A dark shadow suddenly sweeps across the Pasture, and you'll find yourself forcibly yanked from where you stand, lay in bed, or otherwise where you're minding your business--though, some will be missed, inevitably. Those who get grabbed though get to glimpse at a massive shadow-like demon, wolf like in appearance but with giant ram horns, glaring down at you. His voice speaks as a whisper in your minds.

You will Speak his Vengeance.

If you do not speak it, I will enact it on his Behalf.


A random sheep waddles by, and then shadows overtake it--the poor sheep begins to contort, gasping for air as it's stretched and twisted into an unnatural eldritch mass, but still Very Much Alive. It rolls off to enjoy its eternal suffering.

And just like that you're yanked into the shadows, the demon's Intent clear in your heads. It's Ritual Time.]

Yeah, for sure. Tell me if anything I'm doing hurts too much--

[ He's immensely grateful Kaveh is carrying him, because he's not sure he'd be able to move on his own. Once they're alone he starts to cry like he hasn't in ages, overcome with emotion and grief and pain and way too much self-doubt. His hands curl desperately in Kaveh's shirt as he clings to him.

Clover may not have died or gotten it nearly as bad as the other flocks, but the pressure is clearly starting to get to him. ]

I will... I don't want to think about anything that just happened.

If you're going to try and convince me that Blossom is some kind of mastermind here, just know that I sincerely doubt it.

Don't look at them.

Maybe Blossom... is a puppet.

The collar around my neck sure did let that wolf drag me around.

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-01-22 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So I noticed.

But you were capable of speaking on your own... and I can see no reason someone would want such a useless puppet.
catposting: (haughty - swish)

[personal profile] catposting 2024-01-22 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want to come back to Clover?

I do like the offer, but I should go back to the Weeds Clubhouse tonight. I was there last night already, too. Best not to drink from the same well too often...
debug_mode: (11010101011)

[personal profile] debug_mode 2024-01-22 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
True... back then. But, what about a bigger wolf? A Wolf King, if you will?
eonsadrift: (007)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-01-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If he was capable of controlling sheep, I'm sure he'd be controlling us.

Suit yourself.

I'm going to keep healing the others. Call us if you need anything.

You sure Blossom is a sheep...?

Thanks! Help Lyra, okay?

You got it.

I was eight when I started being trained in dancing. Memorized all the steps. No matter the genre.

It's been all my life.

...because you're all my responsibility. It's my burden to bear.

[ She should know that. It seems he's only just now starting to feel the weight of the shepherd's staff. ]

She looks exactly like the other sheep here. Do you think one of her hidden powers is shapeshifting?

... You know, that's kinda how I felt when I was shepherd. It's been a long time since that happened, but...

[she sighs]

I've learned that you don't have to do it alone, though. Maybe a little late.

She doesn't even hide her powers. You can see them openly.
