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.]

It's Belle- Belle Melusine!

[ He'll be able to heal his vision faster! Though this might go into recovering the slash wounds he got earlier. ]

Miss Sonata? That's you, isn't it?

[beathollow]

It is, yes. I can only do one roll pr person every few hours, but... this should bring you a little over half-way.

[poisonista]

I still... my vision isn't back yet, but I hope... [ He's going to try and reach out to touch her. ] Can you hear at all?!

[beathollow]

( )

They were going to let me rest before we tried again. This ritual occurred while I was sleeping... Where should I bring you? The clinic, or your barn? Or... to someone else?

[poisonista]

Apple... where is Apple? He's a Weed- beautiful face, lake blue eyes, rosy cheeks and lavender hair... He just arrived mere hours ago...

[beathollow]

I haven't seen anyone like that, I'm sorry. But... this may mean he was uninvolved.

[poisonista]

[ Relief shows in his form, though he's still tense. ]

What about your flock? Did they make it?

[beathollow]

Lyra is being taken to the clinic. Otherwise it looks like everyone got hit with a surface wound. ... I- I was back home, until the end, so I'm not sure... what happened.

[poisonista]

Miss Lyra- what happened to her? Do you know if she was a prisoner too? I was held in a bubble the whole time, and one of our punishments didn't hit us or the Weeds we were with... but it hit Angel Devil and Leviathan.

I didn't lose my vision until the very end, and Leviathan was made to roll a dice- for me, from the looks of it. He must have rolled decently.

[beathollow]

I- I know there were blisters, and her eyes are- ( sonata chokes up a little. tries to keep her voice steady.


fails. )

Her eyes are gone.

[poisonista]

Gone... completely?



[ He looks pale. ]

[beathollow]

Mm. We can... there's a substance that... recreates functional limbs, including eyes. But... just having a fix doesn't make it alright... I don't-

( he'll hear a sharp inhale. )

I can't fathom what happened to you all...

[poisonista]

I was told- by Azdaja, there's something like that here- Seven, that's horrifying... Miss Sonata-

[ He's been in shock this whole time, so he might be acting calmer than he is actually feeling. He gives her shoulder a squeeze. ]

If there's anything I can do for her later... some use I turned out to be, I had hoped we'd be able to go and assist those who were injured...

[beathollow]

I'm sure she'll appreciate it. But- please. Don't blame yourself for this. None of us could have predicted how he'd hurt us again, and so soon after we even got home.
