sheep_game | Ritual 19

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.]

( ah. pulls his hand back. )

... I will. You're the only one who I would trust for something like that.

( ... )

Thank you. For asking for what I wanted.

Do not thank me when I have done nothing.

[he'll exit the room and call Minuet.]

[ kind of alarmed to be getting a cubecall considering their last conversation. WHO DIED IN THE LAST HALF HOUR. ]

Charon?

[Perci -- if he is still listening -- fully hears all of the inflection drain back out of his voice as he answers Minuet]

If it's not too much trouble, could you please come to Lily and stay with Perci awhile?

Edited 2024-01-22 03:07 (UTC)

It's not trouble.

I'll be right there.

[HANGS UP AND LEAVES THE BARN AS SOON AS MINUET ARRIVES]

[ HEY CHARON?????? ]

[hey byeeeee]

[ He's staying with Perci as requested but oh my god dude ]

[HE'S OFF TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE SOLVED AND NOT TRAUMATICALLY PUNCH A FRESHLY CRIPPLED PERSON WITH HOLLOW BONES]

( ... awkwardly waves to minuet when charon is hurrying out of the door. )

[ Looking between Perci and the door a few times ]

Uh . . .

( sighs and pillows head on his knee. )

He was ready to give me a new leg, but I'm... not sure yet. He's... a lot has been happening.

[ Crossing the room to sit next to him. ]

He's very far from alright. So are you.

( f-frowns. )

... I know. That's why I don't want to make a decision yet.

Why wouldn't you want another leg?

It's not about not wanting another leg entirely, it's wanting one from limbus or not. I wanted to talk to you, actually... since you haven't traded your limbs in for limbus. They're all still metal, aren't they?

[ This is the blank face of a man who never once even considered replacing his own missing arm with limbus ]

... ha~ah, you really haven't thought about it?

Aha, well . . .

[ YEAH ]

How to put it-- I was really young when I lost my arm. I've lived without it longer than I've lived with it, so I just don't feel the need, y'know? And the arm I wear was made by some really important friends.

Your situation is pretty different, I think.

I didn't know. I thought you might be keeping it for a super special secret gunslinger reason.

It's not super secret!

. . . The gun is convenient though . . .

... should I get a gun-leg?

[ Ye-- wait ]

Would you want a mechanical leg?

It makes sense, doesn't it...? We lose our limbs a lot, it seems like. We get hurt often. Something sturdy would be a better option, yes?

( not answering the question )
