Ritual. . .?

WHO: ALL
WHERE: THE PASTURE
WHEN: Day 60, Morning

[GOOOOOD MORNING it's been a nice few days, and it's even starting to warm up slightly--oh, wait, never mind. Thick black clouds gather in the sky, and there's a rumbling thunder, with stray lightning bolts here and there. The rain alternates between freezing cold but sparse and just sheets of downpour.

Well if you're determined enough you can still go about your business! Though looking out your window you might catch Blossom running back and forth to SOMEWHERE and also....a tree suddenly in the middle of the pasture. Nothing notable about it for now though.

Anyway how yall doing.

[ Lethe gets him up sometime after Charon is taken care of, but gonna be honest fam: the vibes are rancid ]

[ The vibes are in the PITS ]

Are you okay now...? I saw what was going on with your arm.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

[ Glances down at where the arm -- was.

Takes a few deep breaths. ]

It's not a danger anymore. Don't worry.

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

I can tell that much just by looking. I asked if you were okay.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

[ Can't think of an answer that's not insultingly a lie but not unpleasantly honest.

In a way, the too-long silence that stretches out is probably answer in and of itself. ]

[ Gives his shoulder a squeeze ]

I'm sorry. You didn't deserve to have it turned on you like that.

[featherduster]

[ WHEW BOY HOWDY the concept of what one does or doesn't deserve is a lot. ]

These demons are good at their jobs, I'll give 'em that--

[ Dawg. Wait. ]

Ananke?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ HE KNOWS THAT SURPRISED LOOK and just takes a deep breath

First things first: ]

The demons aren't good at anything but torment. It doesn't mean they're right or good or even smart. They're no better than the wolves — just assholes with enough power to force whatever they want on us.

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Another breath. He tries his best to relax for this explanation, but it's a little difficult in the wake of surprise shepherd deaths. ]

And yeah, Ananke. I'm not, like, fixed fixed, but rituals like these basically turn Scarab off, and honeysuckle tea can do the same thing. So I can, uh, come to the surface for a couple've hours. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

Ah... yeah, I guess that makes sense, huh.

Shit. We still gotta do something about that.

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

I'm not gonna turn down any help with this...but I really think you shouldn't worry about it for the rest of today. Let your flock take care of you first.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

[ Doing something actually helpful for once is therapy!! ]

Once I've at least got an arm, how about that? You've been stuck for too long as it is.

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

[ considers this very seriously for a minute ]

Once you have an arm and you get a member of Bluebell who isn't Caesura to agree. I don't wanna be responsible for you overworking yourself.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

Exempting Caesura is calculated . . .

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

It'd be way too easy if you could just ask them.

Re: RESULTS

[featherduster]

[ SIGHS ]

That's probably true . . .

Re: RESULTS

[spinebuddyandme]

[ pats his shoulder ]

Don't look so dejected. You'll be more help after you've been taken care of anyway.
