[for all your memory sharing needs]

[at SOME POINT IN HERE ur shepherd also quietly and politely gathers everyone together in the war room, locked and soundproofed even against Bluebells. weird and rare but it's happening]

Considering how the last one just went, we need to discuss if we should revise our approach to rituals that cause harm to ourselves or others, I think. I'm not the most sensitive man, but even I can tell very well when an approach has become counterproductive and the group's morale is suffering badly for it.

It might be hard to plan out since every ritual is different. But what would you suggest for revising our approach?

I believe we should start hitting other flocks in rituals where striking a flock is necessary, rather than only defaulting to ourselves as we have done to date.

It might be different if we were left in peace to do only that, but the compoundment of other flocks deliberately targeting us is simply too much damage at this point.

[ By now the honeysuckle tea has long since worn off, leaving Scarab back in the driver's seat again; a position he is already regretting. Again. ]

Query: Is my presence necessary? I am capable of relaying Ananke's statements on this issue, however: The process will be simplified if I return him to control to speak directly.

[ plus getting to sleep through an entire meeting about feelings is a sick bonus ]

If you defer to Ananke’s opinion in rituals normally and he knows what your thought process would be, it is most expedient and least stressful that he take primary control, I think. Thank you for checking that.

... I unfortunately agree.

[...exhales, long and quiet, and nods]

It makes sense to me to minimize damage as much as we can, wherever we can, but that also applies to ourselves as much as it does to other flocks. I don't want anyone to do something they're not comfortable with.

There are no comfortable choices in those situations, but we all knew that.

It impacts both of you, so you should both get a say. If you don't have a preference then you don't have to speak, though.

[inclines his head, keeping his eyes firmly above Perci’s collarbone]

We do of course maintain our agreement with Bluebell.

Mm. Our alliance remains strong, and we talked about it besides.

... I think the most unpredictable in terms of reactions of the rest would be Thistle and Rose. Clover, I already know we'll have a demand to fight from Zenith. Daffodil, Crois and Tart will be most cross.

I don’t believe most of us wish to target the young ladies, but I don’t care if Zenith demands a fight, frankly.

Realize it might not mean much coming from the new guy, but I'm really not okay doing that again unless we have to.

That is an accurate assessment of our dynamic. Thank you for providing approval.

[ Just going to immediately duck out of the room to get some fresh tea ]

[ A few minutes later Ananke comes back, taking care to lock the door behind himself again ]

Hey... Sorry for the hold-up.

My preference is irrelevant.

Mmm. I will say that jaded as some of us might be, that was still a truly disturbing set of consequences.

However, do not let your relative new arrival stop you from voicing an opinion. Your lot is still thrown in with us no matter what, after all.

[ Has swapped back to Ananke by now ]

If Zenith wants to pick a fight, me and Scarab can finish it. He should know none of us want to hit anyone.

Don’t apologize. I should have thought to have a pot ready.

[they are none of them doing wonderful]

No, I don't either. But I don't wish to target anyone.

I simply mean to say, I know what to expect if we were to choose Clover and Daffodil. I don't if we were to choose Rose or Thistle. Bluebell is off limits.

It's about now I wish the Weeds counted as a team.

Then you should know that if we keep targeting ourselves, my vote's always gonna be to not. Not interested in hurting people I share a flock with.

I think his parental attachment and concern over Clover may override reason.

[ elbows him lightly ]

I told you he'd wanna know what you think for a reason, ese. You're part of Lily, so you've got as much say as the rest of us.

We should've thought about it too. One of us will make another pot later so we can keep a flask of it on us.
