[time to gather everyone around to put these together and make a wish baybee]

[cool powers cool powers!!]

If we ask, do you think we can talk to the moon holy beast while we're at it?

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[endsjustified]

We can certainly try.

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[audacity]

The who?

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[mykidisthebest]

I'm curious what a wish-granting holy beast is doing just hanging out in the sky, if nothing else.

[audacity]

[ well. at some point during the day, anyone who happens to be in the meadow may be greeted by a head popping out of the new saltwater lake with no warning whatsoever like a fucking jump scare ]

[mykidisthebest]

[points Generally Upwards]

The two moons in the sky at night are supposedly the eyes of a moon holy beast. The goddess of dreams and wishes, or something. When we put all of the star pieces together that we've collected from rites, it summons one of her emissaries to grant us a boon. But I'm curious to meet this goddess in person, if we can. The holy beasts can help protect the land, so she might be able to help us with our Wolf King problem.

Watching, one would assume.

[ lmao give him a second to grapple with those implications. whew. ]

If the moons are her eyes, can't she see our Wolf King problem already?

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[mykidisthebest]

[we've been grappling with those implications since we found out,]

You'd think so. But we have no idea what she can and can't see.

[ BASEMENT!!

Which is to say, Kevin is standing at the top of the stairs to their new basement, looking like he might cry. ]

You really ...

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[audacity]

Or if she does or doesn't care?

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[spinebuddyandme]

I hope we can. I really wanna know what her deal is.

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[abandon_hope]

How does this work again...?

[abandon_hope]

[ Kevin is still dazed from being able to MOVE THINGS into his BASEMENT BEDROOM that he totally startles when Cepheus's head pops up. ]

-- Are you living in there now??

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Doesn't startle, but he does cock an eyebrow ]

How long have you been down there?

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[endsjustified]

When we put five of these pieces together -- we earn them from rites or from particularly powerful rituals, I think -- the moon goddess's mssenger comes down and grants another power we as a group desire.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ gives him a light, friendly shoulder punch ]

Told ya we would.

Re: STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT

[abandon_hope]

And we're doing a ghost power, right. The intangibility?

[ Assuming this conversation happened at some point. Kevin has been pretty neutral about all this death power talk. ]

[abandon_hope]

[ Kevin startles a bit, hastily scrubbing away a few wayward tears. ]

You - you did. I -

[ He looks back at the stairs, bewildered. ]

You did it even though you could have picked anything else. I'd have been fine with curtains, I ...

[audacity]

Come on, you know I don't actually live underwater.

[ big talk for someone who is ALSO totally floored ]

[hardpity]

[ tries to approach like four times to just visit but psychs himself out each time so ends up leaving a basket of pomegranates and lychee fruit on the doorstep and anxiously scurrying away.

on top of the fruit are three small handheld devices and three little pieces of paper. the pieces of paper say

[abandon_hope]

[ Kegin sits next to the edge of the lake, giving it a foot or two of respect. ]

You startled me, coming up like that.

[abandon_hope]

[ so many nice things. So cute.

A few hours after the drop off, there's a knock on Peony's barn door. ]

[audacity]

[ apparently not long enough to dodge conversation!! which wasn't really his goal but. wasn't entirely not his goal. ]

Kinda lost track? [ ,,, ] I wasn't expecting it to really be salt water. Or to...

[ geez. breathes out ]

Really be a thing.
