sheep_game | Spring Forward

WHO: Sheeps
WHERE: All around the pasture
WHEN: DAY 71, Morning to whenever!! It's a mingle yall know how this goes

[WOW WHAT FUN LAST FEW DAYS FULL OF FEELINGS lets just forget about that for now!!

The weather is mild and pleasant, and the flowers are blooming especially vividly now. It's like it's spring or some shit.

Also, the lightning that was striking near the mist has subsided! Still be careful though--the eye is still close, but the antlers are still glowing Red for danger. Man wonder what could have set that off. Mystery.

Well anyway Red's back in his shop, along with Daisy and Coco, and Naythan's stumbling around with his Peony Suit. You might find Stormy around if you look for him, but Blossom is notably Still Absent.

BUT HEY NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. There are some new additions!

-A new building appears near the lighthouse! Golly!

-There's a rumbling near Lily, and suddenly a small man-made 'lake' appears in their meadow?? Gosh Lily why do you get TWO ponds! Well, this one is full of salt water, so that's a thing. Maybe there's an underground stream?? Don't worry about it. They'll also find that they now have a dark, spooky, basement--well, part of it is, but mostly it looks like a bachelor pad. But hey, no windows! That's what's important.

Neato! How are the rest of you doing?? Look out for potential falling newbies, you know how it goes.]

I wouldn't say that.

It can be entertaining from time to time.

Oh?

It’s hit and miss, but sometimes there are these things called ‘rituals’ that pit the flocks against each other and it can be quite an amusing sight to behold.

"Rituals", hm? ... Tell me more, please.

Demons putting the sheep through trials. Some good, some bad, and some… somewhere in the middle. Weeds, as were are referred to, sometimes get summoned to help… and you can take that however you like.

"Weeds" and "Sheep".

( why yall so derogatory to each other goddamn!!!! )

What's their purpose? Entertainment?

I’m not the one that chose the names.

[ he’s not fond of being called ‘a weed’. ]

I’m afraid I couldn’t tell you. It differs from demon to demon.

I suppose that is to be expected. ... But you... speak as if you're not involved the way other demons are. Is there a difference, or is that rude to ask?

I'm not involved with their 'shenanigans' so to speak. I do get dragged in, from time to time, but who says I couldn't do the same to them. I haven't had a reason, when the pasture seems to set itself ablaze by itself somewhat regularly. It's like these little sheep can't help themselves.

( hm. so they may not be on the same level, then. )

I see. Thank you for indulging my curiosity. I would introduce myself, but I haven't a name yet.

I'm more interested in the entertainment these little sheep can provide me with besides. [ he chuckles, summoning a table and chairs with the snap of a finger. he takes a seat and leans back, his cane beginning to play jazz music. ] I'm Jazz. If you like music, then perhaps you can join me and choose something like mine.

It suits you. ... I'm still thinking. As much as I hate to admit it, my name was one of the few things I had- I'm loath to lose it, and a replacement is... important.

I feel similarly. But you'll need one unless you like being called a weed.

...hm, do you even like music? Because, if so, then we could make a little niche.

Symphony. Rhythm. Cantata.

I do, yes. And I do like these suggestions, thank you. ( and she means it! but she will be taking her time to think, still. ) ... If I may, is your cane also a microphone?

It is. I'm a Radio Host, my dear, and this is my best friend. [ literally, since it's also kind of sentient. ~~or was. who tf knows anymore.~~ ]

( PERKS UP.... )

I've always had an interest in telecommunications myself, actually. I'm afraid I died too early to actually embrace it, however.

And how did you die? [ he snaps his fingers and another seat appears, one scooping her up and off the ground. ] Have a seat, young lady, and enjoy the tunes. [ his cane is going to play some r&b. ]

( ???? pauses... )

... I don't... remember. How strange.

( and DEEPLY troubling. the music is comforting, though. )

... I know that... I was part of the school's broadcasting committee. I handled announcements over the intercom- my classmates liked how it sounded, despite my lack of energy.

...ah, it seems like you suffer from amnesia, my dear. Selective, of course, but this wouldn't be the first time I have heard of it. A shame, really. Taking your name and some of your memories. [ he tsks. ] I do hope to get something like that set up here, but materials and labor and whatnot. [ not that that's really a problem for him... ]

I'm of mixed feelings. I know that whatever happened, it was deeply upsetting.

... If you do, I'd like to see, if that's alright. I think it's all fascinating.

I have no doubt. Most deaths are far from pleasant. But perhaps you'll find the answers, if of course you're seeking them.

Certainly. It might be some time before I get it going. I just know I'm not staying in the clubouse.

If I can help, please let me know. ... Honestly, I feel very much the same, so I'll have to see what the options are.

Of course. And good luck with that. I don't know if you've noticed, but most flocks aren't too fond of weeds. I'm not sure what our predecessors did, but they certainly didn't like it.

Surprisingly, I haven't met any of the flocks yet. But Your Name certainly paints a picture.

( derogatory )

And what did she tell you? ...she sure seems to have a bias and her love of the snake is strange at best. [ pathetic at worst. ]
