liminal hours

[crittersheep]

WHO: whoever
WHERE: wherever
WHEN: evening 54 into night 54, post-ritual

[this is just a mingle for whoever might still have happening things that aren't inside the barns or clinic!

reminder also that we did get some cool-ass pasture security and star pieces, and some teams got delicious new fruit

perhaps tonight everyone can finally sleep off a few of the endless horrors, or at least catch their breath.]

[Your Name needs to unwind and just... doesn't know what unwinding is going to be, at the moment.

She settles on walking through town before sunset. She's distracted. She might bump into you? (And also she's wrapped in bandages from blisters but that's neither here nor there.)]

[She'll also eventually go back to the Weeds Clubhouse.]

[wants_the_phd]

You look like you have something on your mind.

[debug_mode]

Oh, Az...

[she looks left, looks right, then nods.]

I have a few things.

[wants_the_phd]

Tell me about it?

[tidesbeckon]

[ once the dust has (mostly) settled, the Judge makes his way through the pasture before stopping in front of one of them.

you know. the one with the moat that looks like a castle or whatever. ]

Is . . . this it?

[jerkalope]

Is what it?

[ hopping over and standing on his hind legs ]

Yo, Judge, it looks like you made it out of the ritual in one piece. Great job!

[tidesbeckon]

Ah, Warden. It is good to see you well.

[ He kneels down a bit so they're closer to each other's level. it's fine. ]

I was looking for a particular meadow is all. How did your group fare?

[jerkalope]

I was guiding Rose. Thanks to my calm composure, we managed to escape unscathed! Eh...except for a little bump in round two. And that's because Flare decided to make a nuisance of herself.

How did you manage with your flock?

[hotnbothered]

[ Apologies to anyone who lives in the Weed treehouse, because it is going to be a very loud night. There is a lot of noise coming from a certain room: the constant and repeated thwack of a pillow being slammed against the wall, the stomping of feet, an occasional scream. ]


[ That's probably occupying most of her night, honestly, but at some point she will go out and pop into most of the public buildings except the clinic, slamming doors in her wake when she leaves without finding whatever she was looking for there. ]

[wants_the_phd]

[Maybe at some point, once she's done with the clinic and is heading home, she'll cross paths with Flare as she's on her way to go fuck up some other public utility.]

Rough day?

[hotnbothered]

[ Uh-oh, it's a Rose. She stops mid-rampage, tensing a little and averting her eyes. ]

Didn't your flock tell you about the ritual?

[wants_the_phd]

I've been a little busy. All I know is that there was one and it fucked some people right up.

[debug_mode]

[knock knocking on her door in the Weed treehouse.]

Flare?

[hotnbothered]

[ A pillow thunks against the door from the other side. ]

What?!

[debug_mode]

[She's tempted to just yell that she's violating the rules and it's really too late for this, but she holds that frustration in.]

...Seeing as we're both up, would you like to share some fruit?

cw body horror, were-on-were knock down drag out violence

[endsjustified]

[after getting the cubecall from Pegasus, Charon went to go take care of a last couple of tasks, then to go extricate Lethe from tasks so they could go take some wolfsbane before heading to Peony! 'before full nightfall,' they thought. 'we'll be all right if we do it in the early evening,' they thought.

unfortunately these werewolf bites aren't quite following the same rules as before, so both of them feel a sudden burning pang where they were bitten, and then a strange queasy sensation . . .]

((ICLY THIS IS HAPPENING IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND CAN BE NOTICED BUT OOCLY WE'LL PING WHEN WE'RE READY TO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE COMMENT/JUMP IN THANK YOU))

Re: cw body horror, were-on-were knock down drag out violence

[mykidisthebest]

[Lethe doesn't actually notice it much first; they're both running on nothing but water and some pomegranate seeds, so his initial thought is just that he might be hungry. that's a perfectly logical explanation for feeling like this during the daytime.

then the burning hits and he stops in his tracks as he feels it spread down to his bones. there's an uptick of panic in his voice that Charon has never heard before.]

Charon.

Re: cw body horror, were-on-were knock down drag out violence

[endsjustified]

[Charon is already turning towards him, eyes wide with alarm, in the same moment]

Lethhhk--

[oh. mm. perhaps it is not good he just coughed up some green feathers]

[ohlord]

[some people might be busy with the whole monster throwdown, but you know who sees that start up and immediately realizes he has to deal with his own shit without dragging more people into said shit when they're already busy with enough shit of their own?

this guy.

anyway, Styx is gonna be in the woods tonight. later, everyone. maybe. probably. unless someone follows him and wants to deal with a feral wolf that night. uhhh. yeah.]

[endsjustified]

[i mean yeah dude after prematurely monstering out himself you can BET he's going to immediately go find the last Lily who got a bite that Daisy said would need wolfsbane

curses to himself when he spots him heading into the woods and follows; if other Lilies and Minuet want an quick way to catch up they can say he called and marked the direction and also asked someone to PLEASE BRING A THIRD WOLFSBANE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

he's still a bird snake dragon for this also. f]

[ohlord]

[fun facts: Nicholas D. Wolfwood is an excellent top tier assassin, meaning he definitely is hard to find initially.

other fun facts: wolves are fans of stalking their prey before doing anything and you sure look like tasty bird(?) thing, even if large.]

[mykidisthebest]

[Lethe is back to normal and also sprinted to go and grab some wolfsbane. so he is tired but he is here]

[ohlord]

[there has been a brief but bloody skirmish between the wolf and Charon.

currently Charon has chomped onto a hind leg and may be missing a couple of eyes for it, but also wolf has been contained in coils and is VERY DISPLEASE ABOUT ALL THIS.

growling and snapping and anything that approaches.]

[featherduster]

[ You ever feel like you're being followed?

Of course you do, you're paranoid as all hell ]

[ohlord]

[he's paranoid as hell and that's why he's GETTING HIS GUN.]
