Ritual 19 - Vengeance

[wooliefrand]

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.]

[thank. they will need the combined efforts of everyone's healing]

[but for now. . . when Lupin's soul feels the slight tug from Scarab, he cracks one eye open]

. . . oh.

Hey.

[what's up]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Glances up.

... this is a new one for scarab. ]

... Hey. Are you aware that you are deceased?

[survivaltricks]

Mmmyep.

[he answers easily, popping that 'p']

I feel weirdly peaceful about it, though.

[. . . it's fine it's fine?]

[spinebuddyandme]

I take that to mean you are satisfied with the choices you made.

[survivaltricks]

[a lazy smile]

Mmm.

Very.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Glances at the bodies ]



Ananke has some complaints regarding your strategy.

[survivaltricks]

It's fine, it's fiiiiine.

[waves a hand!]

Tell Ananke we're okay.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ His expression freezes unnaturally while he turns his attention inward





okay he's back ]

Ananke calls you a liar.

[survivaltricks]

Mean. . .

[but he doesn't sound offended about it, just lazy and sleepy]

[spinebuddyandme]

You can raise your complaint with him when he has been restored.

[survivaltricks]

Mmmkay. . .

[anyway, his body has been restored, and soul Lupin feels Lethe beginning to tug against him to put him back]

Damn. . . is it time to go already?

[spinebuddyandme]

It is. You should not delay any further.

[survivaltricks]

Okay.

. . . seriously, Ananke. It's okay.

[a pause]

And thanks for your help.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Ananke's in inner mind hell and no one can tell him to calm down!!1 ]

[ Scarab just nods in acknowledgement ]

Your gratitude is accepted.

[survivaltricks]

[Ananke is always stressed and he is valid for that]

[anyway! Lupin is back in his body]
