liminal hours

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.]

[ BRO.........

He's giving Charon a sharp look that clearly reads "threat assessment", notable perhaps for how he's never had to turn it on Charon before.

But he's quickly isolating Lethe as the bigger issue, moving in front of him with something clamped in his metal fist. He gets close enough to use himself as bait for that maw.

C'mon bud, he's even more delicious than bird tail!! ]

Minuet, be careful.

[kind of a warning note. buddy you'd better be using the metal arm only

anyway Charon sounds fully sane, just extremely winded and with that weird, hollow bird-scratchy quality to his voice, the same as the cubecall]

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

[mykidisthebest]

[he watches Minuet through narrowed, sharp eyes and decidedly does not let go of Charon's tail. even if Minuet is tempting bait to snap at, Charon is who is currently holding him down, so that's who he's most interested in dealing with first. everything else is secondary]

[featherduster]

[ 8/a

PUNCHES HIM IN THE NOSE. CAREFULLY. ]

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

[endsjustified]

[hisses a bit, but if that prompts Lethe to open his mouth to snap he will try to whip his tail outta the way to make room for wolfsbane]

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

[mykidisthebest]

[he is just a silly feral little monster right now so as soon as he gets punched in the nose he does indeed yelp and try to eat Minuet's hand]

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

[featherduster]

[ pog ]

There ya go, take your medicine and go to bed!

[ STUFFS HIS ENTIRE LEFT ARM DOWN LETHE'S THROAT

Probably punches him in the tonsils in the process but whatever, it gets the plant where it needs to go. ]

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

[endsjustified]

[u guys like, good

constricts the rest of Lethe as hard as he can. hopefully this will actually have an effect right away and he won't just be feral until dawn]

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

[mykidisthebest]

[GNAWS ON MINUET'S ARM--he doesn't stop trying to chew on him but he does gag because it tastes bad and also because his tonsils hurt. down the hatch the plant goes!

i think wolfsbane takes a minute idk he's just going to keep trying to eat Minuet until the shadowy gunk starts to slough off of him and his bones start rearranging themselves into a human shape. gross.]

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

[featherduster]

[ GROSS....

He lets werecat gnaw because who cares, but he's watching the transformation back with mounting alarm

HONESTLY THE SOUNDS ARE PROBABLY THE WORST PART ]

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

[endsjustified]

[heeeee’s just keeping a grip on him in case anything weird happens but it’ll gradually loosen to accommodate the transformation and stuff]

…

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

[mykidisthebest]

[it's not a very fun thing to watch OR experience but the sounds are pretty bad yeah. he's got to spit out Minuet's hand when he starts shrinking to human size and opening his airways just makes him start coughing out more gunk until all of the parts of his body stop rearranging themselves. by the time it's all done he is trying and failing not to hyperventilate. give him thirty seconds to pull it together]

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

[featherduster]

[ Oh god oh god oh god-- oh it's Lethe

Grimacing while he gives him a second ]

Do you need healing?

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

[endsjustified]

He might. I hit him over the head very hard.

[says the mangled guy]

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

[mykidisthebest]

N...

[chokes around the words and shakes his head. once he stops full-body shaking and can breathe normally he gives Charon's tail a pat as if to say "heal this guy"]

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

[featherduster]

[ HE WILL BUT FIRST HE'S KISSING LETHE ON THE FOREHEAD JUST TO BE CONTRARY!!!! ]

Sorry for punching you in the nose. And throat.

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

[endsjustified]

[unloops himself from around Lethe entirely and calls a ghost to start getting all the infected blood and fur/feathers off the grass =_=]

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

[mykidisthebest]

[he is plopped wherever Charon puts him and does not get up. shakes his head at Minuet and wipes his face with a sleeve to clean off snot and tears and black stuff very, very, very tiredly.]

...Don't apologize for helping. Thank you.

[reaches for Charon's tail and pats it with a messy hand. there are some tears on his hand, it's healing he's helping :T]

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

[featherduster]

[ nts cock gun at both these idiots to go TF to bed

Turning to the snekbird. ]

Your turn.



[ Contemplates..... logistics. ]

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

[endsjustified]

[makes a tired little animal noise and just turns the non-maimed side of his face towards Minuet. no blood there. the last thing they need is for him to also get weird lycanthropy]

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

[mykidisthebest]

[habitually throws up an illusion around them that looks like a big sign while cleanup happens]

Hang on, I've got--

[digs through his pockets for his bottle of tears and pulls out: an empty bottle, and a bottle that has a tiiiiny bit of tears left.

...offers that to Minuet too]

It's been a long day.

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

[featherduster]

[ Gawd. Taking it. ]

Funny how none of you but Styx mentioned being bit by wolves at all.

[ @ BOTH, KIND OF ACERBIC ACTUALLY

He pours the tears onto Charon's cheek and then leans in to kiss the non-bloody side of the muzzle ]

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

[endsjustified]

[closes his intact eyes in relief, breathing through the heal]

We were going to take wolfsbane, but it took effect before moonrise against expectation.

I'm sorry. There was already so much else to worry about. It seemed like a nonissue if it was going to be resolved before anything happened.

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

[mykidisthebest]

...

[forcibly swallows back everything he would like to say and looks away from Minuet, focusing on keeping his breathing even]

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

[featherduster]

[ 8T 8/

Pats the muzzle where he just kissed. ]

Bluebell doesn't have another wolfsbane to spare. Does Lily--?
