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.]

[it's a little cramped back here, and Acheron's closeness isn't helping. it's downright suffocating.

but.

he doesn't protest. doesn't seem to mind it too much.]


Had a feeling you wouldn't leave even if I asked.

[so there was little point in telling him. oddly, some part of him didn't want him to either.]

You're right about that.

[ since when does he ever listen? Besides, this is the best way to keep an eye on the guy. Make sure he doesn't disappear again. He tilts his head the other way so he can sort of look at him more. It makes him feel a little better, knowing that he's physically in one piece, even if mentally, emotionally, it might not quite be the case. Acheron hasn't forgotten that he'd just shot him the other day too...

Why does everything happen so much.

His eyes briefly flicker to Bombay's lips, and he tries to ignore that other thought rising to his mind, which he makes an attempt to disguise by filling some of the space with words: ]


Just try to keep a little quiet with your game stuff?

[ he doesn't hold illusions that the guy's gonna do much sleeping. ]

[ has a man ever looked this unimpressed. ]

I think this once I can deal with it, okay?

[nods.]

It's important to know your limits.

[MOSTLY teasing about his back. but also applies... to everything else that happened.]

Yeaah, I know.

[ he gets the implication here. His gaze drops down to the floor for a moment because of those implications - but Acheron knows where he wants to stop things from now on. That said there's one more thing that needs to be said. ]

Hey, Bombay... I do wanna say I'm sorry.

[has a distinct feeling Acheron is blaming himself for something he had no control over.]

For what?

[ well, that's not wrong, exactly. It's not like he knows exactly why, just... ]

For standing in the way of you making your choices, I guess.

... It's what everyone wanted.

[his hands were tied. he got threatened. he felt he had little choice if he wanted to remain by his side.]

Still, it was your choice. Who the hell are we to try to force you?

[ There's a lot Acheron doesn't know about what went down. He won't push the subject though, if Bombay wants him to stop. ]

[what he wants is Acheron to not blame himself. Acheron never ordered him to pick anyone.]

You didn't. Lethe tried to. The rest insisted it was the best choice.

[his hands were tied. he got threatened. he had little choice if he wanted to be able to remain by his side.]

[ the idea that someone tried to pressure Bombay is actually laughable. But even though he knows Bombay can fight those battles, whatever they are, it bugs him. He puts that in his back pocket for later. ]

You still had every right to do whatever you thought was right. They're gonna have to deal with it. Because there'll be one flockmate who doesn't roll that way from now on.
