WHO: Sheep
WHERE:Where ever
WHEN: Evening 60 - Morning 61

[WHAT A DAY HUH? At least by evening the rain starts to let up, and it is noticeably not as cold as it has been. It's a good night for doing whatever, or maybe you're doing dream shit, I'm not your mom.

In the morning, some will notice that along with the storm, there are also no longer patches of snow fluffies, and any snow still on the ground is starting to melt. Additionally, little by little, more wildlife is popping back up in the meadow and forest. With the cold snap gone, it looks like the wildlife scarcity is disappearing, too.

In the cafeteria, there is a small breakfast waiting for those who care for it: coffee or hot cocoa, orange juice, plum tarts, and omelettes made with fish. There is also a banner:

HAPPY ACTUALLY TWO MONTHS IN THE PASTURE SORRY I CAN'T COUNT IGNORE THE OTHER ONE FROM LIKE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO

anyway how yall doing]

[..... this can't be good.]

About what?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

I got some info yesterday that I didn't know about before. It's important for you to know too.

[ Handing him the transplant info Charon gave him ]

I'm not about to order anyone around, and I don't wanna risk tripping it accidentally either. That last suggestion isn't a bad idea, if you're amenable to it.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[looking this over- where did it even come from?]

This is a lot.

[the idea of being potentially controlled immediately doesn't sit well with him. but.

well, he's certainly more awake now, his hardened gaze practically piercing through Minuet.]

You're really okay with relinquishing that control?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

[ He meets that gaze evenly ]

I'm not interested in controlling others, and the ability to do so is unwelcome.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[he's only been around them for a day and a half. he grew up being controlled, and issues regarding it cropped up in that last ritual. it's a touchy subject for someone that's making an effort to leave that life behind.

but.... he can tell Minuet means it. he didn't have to show him these notes either. and, overall, things feel more calming here too.

he eases up some, and thinks it over.]

Alright. What are you gonna have me do?

[having a set time they do this also means he knows what to expect and that it can't be used on him later in the day on a whim.]

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

Shouldn't you be the one to pick?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[clearly wasn't anticipating that. he expected something trivial chosen for him like in the notes.

hm.....]

Tell me to stand up or sit down.

[depending on whichever he's not doing at the time. that's not so bad.]

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

Okay. Proof of concept:

Sit down.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[down he goes, as if compelled by some unseen force. he even attempts to resist, just to see, but nothing happens. so it actually works.

well... this isn't bad.]

Every morning?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

Every morning, if this is the one you want. I guess it could also be "brush your teeth," or "scratch your nose," or something. Whatever.

If you ever wanna change it, just let me know.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[this arrangement isn't so bad. maybe.

slowly stands up.]

Okay. And I get more powers too?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

Oh, yeah.

Kiss healing, which you know about. You can "charm" someone which is supposed to temporarily make them fall in love with you. [ ymmv ] If nothing else it'd probably be a good way to defuse a fight.

And there's one that lets you drag objects or people together. It's pretty useful if you wanna get someone over the moat.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

Crescendo told me that stuff. But the transplant info mentions strength, and some power increase.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

--Oh right! I forgot.

To be honest, I know as much about that stuff as you do. Bluebell's never had this happen before. I guess you could go try lifting something really heavy?

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

It says only when protecting members of the flock. Guess it'll have to wait.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[featherduster]

If I had to guess, it's most likely to come up in a ritual.

Re: @ bluebell, morning 61

[dadinside]

[inwardly winces at that.]

Yeah. Wouldn't surprise me.
