RITUAL 22

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Sheep in the Pasture
WHERE: ???
WHEN: Day 66 Morning

[GOOD MORNING WHAT A LOVELY AND NORMAL DAY--oh hey is that the giant phantom of a familiar demon passing over the pasture, turning the morning into a starry night sky?

Could be. If you call out to them, they do not answer, only Drift.

Maybe you're lucky and just ignore whatever the FUCK is about to happen.

Others, unwillingly get swept up in...whatever this is.

Well it's somehow been a month ??? since the last ritual so like, that's fair.

Red, Blossom, and Stormy seemingly are still MIA tho.

But whatever NORMAL TIMES IN SHEEP AMIRITE?

[ His little paws are blood-stained, but he looks entirely uninjured himself. However his ears are pinned all the way back and his tail is tucked ]

[

also uninjured, wearing a lil red hanfu]

... Baa?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

... Woof?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[lustfall]

[giggles for a second then stops, looking embarrassed]

Pardon me, but you appear, um. Distressed?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

I just watched a boat crush one of my best friends.

[ Among other things ]

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[lustfall]

[???]

Was your game not about weddings?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

[ ear perk! ]

No...ours was about war.

What wedding?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[lustfall]

Lord J-something's wedding? I don't really understand what I saw...

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

[ STRAIGHTENS THE FUCK UP ]

Do you know who it was to? What did you see?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[lustfall]

[squeaks and takes a step back]

Is it that important?!

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

—Sorry; I didn't mean to startle you. It's just...yeah. It could be pretty important.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[lustfall]

... Why?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

Because it's part of the history of this place.

[mykidisthebest]

[the saddest little doggo is waddling over and patting him on the head]

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

Lethe?

[ Inspecting him for any sign or scent of injury ]

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[mykidisthebest]

I'm fine.

[he is completely unhurt absolutely zero injury]

Are you okay? There's blood all over you.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

Oh...

[ glances down at his paws ]

It's not mine. Charon was shot in the legs.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[his ears flatten]

...You guys had a rough time. Sorry.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

[ slow, deep breath ]

It was...rough, yeah. Charon and Bluebell got the worst of it.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[mykidisthebest]

In situations like this there's not much point in saying someone else had it worse.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

Even when it's true?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[mykidisthebest]

It doesn't matter if it's true. It sucked, right? You look like shit. You're covered in blood. It's fine to just be upset without any caveats.

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Nods quietly and rakes a hand through his hair in what he clearly meant to be a self-soothing gesture, but he doesn't actually complete the motion, instead settling his hand over his eyes ]





Can we go home first?

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[mykidisthebest]

[nods]

Yeah. Let's go home. Can you walk?

[it's not a question of whether he can physically walk since his injuries seem to be healed, but if he has the energy to]

Re: POST-GAME MNGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

I think so?

[ The question confuses him more than anything, but he stands easily enough. Clearly exhausted, but he can manage being mobile a little while longer ]
