Cute Aggression

WHO: Anyone
WHERE: Somewhere easily accessible
WHEN: Day 55 whenever

[Out in the middle of the cluster of barns, there's a table and a small billboard to either sides of a large stump. Azdaja climbs up on the stump like it's a stage and raises her voice loud enough to be heard:]

Attention, dear neighbors!

Rose's rites are gossip and rumors. In light of recent events in which everyone banded together to overcome a great challenge, I would like to invite everyone to speak up about people who are deserving of praise! Has someone helped you lately? Has someone impressed you with feats of bravery, cleverness, or strength? Are you in the mood to bully your friends and flockmates with affection?

Stand up and speak their praises! Or, if you'd rather do it anonymously, you can write it down and stick it to this billboard. And even if you don't want to do either of those things, you are welcome to come get some hot snacks on this cold day.

[On the table are some hot roasted pears glazed with sugar and spices. There are also baskets of various apples and pears for you to take home to replenish food stores.]

Praise Goes Here

Re: Praise Goes Here

[wants_the_phd]

First, I'd like to thank Flare and Warden, the two weeds who bravely escorted Rose in and out of the mist, without whom we wouldn't have been able to proceed at all. They didn't have to, but they risked their lives to help us.

I also want to praise Perci, Crois, and his assistant for how amazing they are at creating medicines in this place. It's thanks to Perci that we had painkillers for people to use yesterday when then needed them most.

Also, Leviathan made these roasted pears. Aren't they good??? Leviathan is an amazing cook. And he acquired all these spices through his own hard work!

Re: Praise Goes Here

[beathollow]

He is. And I know I would have been in a much worse state emotionally without him, even if we could only see each other through the mirror.

Azdaja and Angel Devil were invaluable yesterday in getting people treated, and making sure everything in the clinic was running in good order.

Azdaja and miss Liquorice's tireless efforts in researching and determining the applications, properties and proper use of limbus are also invaluable.

Thank you.

Zenith is really good to his Clover kiddos and even though I drag him, he's actually pretty cool. Sonata and Lyra and Spinel are all smart and strong ladies who deserve everything so Zenith keep workin' hard for 'em.

Aides and Pegasus are some of the smartest people ever and can make probably anything.

Apple can beat yer ass and I just think that's neat. Belle is very pretty and hard workin'. Rubato is.






Levi and Ratatoskr both got real damn good teeth. And Levi's a damn fine cook and Ratatoskr can always surprise ya and that ain't nothin'.

Minuet is very fun t'bully and he's always gotta stupid smile to share with ya that makes ya wanna bully him ever more. Miss Melody is the strongest lady. Caesura got the softest slyest footsteps and can really catch ya good. Fantasia is pretty smart and has loads of cool skills. Cres is always tryin' his best and has improved at existin' good for him. Tempo is the coolest person in this whole fuckin' place.

Charon I think ya ain't blown anything up for a bit good job good shit yer the man. Perci yer always a real one and normal. Lethe yer everyone's daddy and I guess thatsa thing t'be proud of.

Angel yer pretty alright ya know lotsa big words probably means yer smart as fuck but more importantly ya won our Muffin over so I guess yer high quality cuz he'd never accept anything less. Azdaja yer one of the only fucks here who makes sense sometimes ya know what's up.

Lupin yer stupid and impulsive and also kind of a badass just work on the stupid bit. I like ya though. Odin--same shit as Lupin. Lil' less stupid probably. Tyr yer pretty good and ya make Crois real happy. Yata yer my cubby and always makin' me smile and ya work hard in a lotta ways I don't think everyone gets but like I know yer doin' it and it is helpin'. Thistle needs ya.

Crois yer real hard workin' and smart and gotta big heart t'be workin' that hard for alla these clowns. Puddin' yer weird but I like that about ya and I always feel better and safer when yer around. Muffin yer one of our most valuable assets cuz ya make up for how uncute the rest of us are but also yer just as sly as any of us good shit cannot be improved. Cinn yer comfortin' more than ya know probably. Feel like ya ground the resta us clowns in Daffodil and make us all feel more stable and at ease. Yer stories always catch my ears. And yer always tryin' to make sure we're all taking care of ourselves. Liquorice yer one of the other people here who actually makes sense t'me and m'real glad yer hanging around with us.

Tart ya care about us so much ya actually do an effort sometimes. And ya always can be counted on even though ya like t'pretend yer just a shitty lump who can't be bothered. Ya make sure we get what we need. Make sure we're safe and fed and takin' care of ourselves. And also yer tits are amazin' A+ prime choice above reproach just the most bangin' bazonkas the real deal the zenith of chesticles yer number one amazing perfect no notes no room for improvement.

There did I do it good enough.

Biscuit is so good at praising people he puts us all to shame. He's hardworking and resourceful and great at thinking of ideas for rites. I constantly hear people talking about how much they like and respect him. And nobody appreciates food more than he does.

Would you like a roasted pear?

Re: Praise Goes Here

[rugpull]

Please and thank you!

MUFFIN BEST PRAISER!

_{goodness, dear, your lung capacity.}

Re: Praise Goes Here

[chasseurdebeaute]

Bravo, Monsieur Muffin! Each word of praise warmed my heart more than the last! I'm glad I was here to catch it.

[shortforever]

First off: Tyr is very responsible and is the best dad-guy Thistle could ask for.

[There is only a tiny bit of bullying there.]

But I also have to give a shout out to Edgelord. He's helped Thistle so many times with rituals and trips to the mist. We wouldn't have been able to take on the gold demon without him.

Re: Praise Goes Here

[crittersheep]

To the people who went out into the mist, thank you for running into danger to save the people who were taken and for doing everything you could to get them back. Even the people who didn't fight, your support is just as important.

I know some of you might be disappointed that some things didn't turn out the way you wanted to, but remember that karma is a bitch. They'll get what's coming to them.

Thank you to the people who remained behind too, and especially to the people who run the clinic. You guys work hard and what you do is invaluable to the pasture. We might have healing magic, but I know you do more than just patch us up. I hope no one takes you guys for granted.

Finally, I'm sure someone will come along and read this and think "oh, this doesn't include me": you're wrong. You're still going and that's worth its own praise. Don't forget that.

[debug_mode]

I'd like to thank the Snake. Without him, I would not be here. And... for being a good Boss.

I'd like to thank all of Clover. Sonata for being a friend, and bravely staying strong when she didn't know help was coming. Zenith for leading the rescue party, and taking responsibility for me when we went out together, when he didn't have to. Spinel, for always being welcoming to me personally, and running back into danger with all her strength after being thrown around. Shade, for thinking quickly, and preventing me from hurting Zenith further after the wolf grabbed control of my body. And, Lyra, for personally saving my life, and distracting the wolf long enough I could take control of myself again.

I'll thank Yata, because Yata deserves nice things.

I'll thank Cinna for reaching out to me. For letting me know an emergency was going on. I'm in his debt.

I'd like to thank Faith, Ogre, Splash, and Hisui, wherever you are. And to Flare, Edgelord, and the poison healer. Even if we don't exactly see eye-to-eye on everything, I'm grateful you're around.

I'll thank Rose... but, I don't want to call out individual names. They know why I'm thanking them.

And everyone else: you're also important. If not to me personally, then to someone. --Thank you for what you do for them.
