WHO: WEEDS
WHERE: Weeds Clubhouse
WHEN: After game, day 66 or even day 67, whatever, I'm not your mom.

[ It was another ritual where the weeds were forced to participate among the flocks, but how well did each person come out?

At any rate, Your Name seems to be organizing something. ]

Thank you!

Oh, but I didn't answer your previous question.

[Soft little inhale of breath.]

Well, you know. There's a lot of information they share about the pasture. It's in that book they set up. Things like "don't go into the mist." Or, "there's werewolves in the mist, and the only cure is something that's very hard to get." Those are great, but do they really tell you anything? Just don't go into the mist, it's as easy as that.

Information about who hates who, who is in love with who, which flock will never attack another flock, which flock is the unlucky one who dies whenever any ritual happens... All of that is much more valuable. And much more practical. News you can put to good use.

It makes sense, right? Any information you can learn for free ultimately isn't worth much.

A book... I'll have to find it and give it a read. It sounds like it's got an interesting amount of information, however helpful. [ even if it's not specific he's sure to learn a thing or two from the sort of stuff included in it. ] But, yes, all that makes sense... pulling on the heart strings of those in the pasture is certainly a way to sew chaos and unease. Keep them on their toes, so to speak.

I heard you are the eldest of the weeds. And by that I mean you've been here the longest. I should have known that you'd be a fountain of inspiration.

It's at the... clinic? That's it. You'll find it in there.

Hm... technically not true. The oldest Weed is long dead, and for very good reason. Second oldest has gone missing. Her tower is still there, but I think it's inaccessible without her permission. And, I think Edgelord has been here before me... but Edgelord is Edgelord. He's more about action than information gathering.

But, otherwise, you're right! I am the eldest. ...For now.

Is it something that's open to read from and not write into?

...the first two don't count, I'm afraid. If you're not here, then you're not here. [ and your existence means nothing to alastor. ] Edgelord. I've heard his name a few times now. Likes liquor and being loud and obnoxious... fond of explosions? Is that him?

For now? Have plans to leave?

That's him! The one and only. You'll now him the moment you see him. He'll be the one who is... well, "in your face."

Ah, do you know? I guess I don't mind sharing...

If you suck up enough to one of the Shepherds, and you have no more 'ties' to this place, then they can send you home. Or anywhere else, if you don't want to go home. Not only that, but you get granted a wish as you go.

I'm missing some of the components, and I have a nice rut I've buried myself into, but who knows?

A ticket out of the pasture and a wish... seems highly suspicious. Do we know it works?

Do you mean the ties? It seems like you're fond of this place.

If you mean do I have direct evidence from my own two eyes, the answer is no. But, I do have my sources, and without going into detail, these sources tend to be accurate.

"Ties," sounds like such a stupid word. I'd describe it as I'm invested in a number of things happening here.

Have you met the Boss?

Oh? Do you mind if I ask in what? In the flocks, their sheep, or... the Boss? If you mean then snake, then, yes, I have. A chatty little fellow.

Oh, I can't compromise my sources! Besides information, trust is everything around here.

[But she brightens and gets a lot more animated when he talks about the Snake.]

I know! Right!? Isn't he the best?? He's the Best Boss, ever!!

He sure is... something.

Something great, you mean!

… [ no. ] Why do you admire him so much?

...Why wouldn't I? He gives us lots of stuff, asks for very little in return, and gives us freedom to do whatever we like.

He's the perfect Boss.

Does he? I hadn't even thought to ask him for anything.

So many weeds don't realize this! Let me explain.

If you do things to cause chaos, mischief, and otherwise disrupt the harmony of the pasture, you can ask the Snake for things. Specifically, whenever a flock uses 'herd mentality' to get stuff from Blossom, it increases her powers. So, the less they do that, the better for us.

The Snake is the best resource provider for us. And he gives a better rate than what Red will trade for.

...ah, now that's a fascinating tidbit of information. I'm sure that's the reasons he pushes it so much then. And does the snake gain more power when we sow chaos?

... I don't know.

I know it makes me feel more powerful. It's terrible to feel powerless.
