WHO: all who dare enter angie's literal mind palace. it's OPEN HOUSE! no invites needed!
WHERE: in front of miku's salad (and yours)
WHEN: evening 73.

[ in the middle of running a perfectly innocuous miniquest, Angel Devil falls down.
His clothes have twisted away into bone-white rags, leaving a body covered over with only thick swathes of red fur, and downy feathers. His long tail is curled into a tense arc, banded fur standing on end.

The air wavers like he’s a heat mirage, not a man. He’s boiling away with absolutely stupid amounts of arcane power… and, most frighteningly, he does not seem in control of the fact that it is there and being brought to bear. It’s impossible to get any closer to him.

When he speaks, it’s quite timid. ]

Oh.
Oops.
...Thought I had... a little more time.

[ (and in a blinding flash of light, there is the sound of something breaking.) ]

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?

WHO: You
WHERE: Anywhere
WHEN: Afternoon 62

[ With Bluebell's lovely morning rite, it's shaping up to be quite the peaceful day. The spring thaw continues, bringing young lilywogs with lingering stubby tails to the shores. It's easy to spot them floating among the reeds, though they're still prone to scattering if disturbed.

And across the pasture everyone is hopefully having a peaceful day, right? Or have some of you been getting up to shenanigans instead? ]

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]

WHO:Shepherds, kidnapping victims, rescue ~~rangers~~ weeds anyone who found good info?
WHERE: Library
WHEN: Mid-day 59

( at some point the previous day, shepherds will have gotten a sonata cube, since frankly she is probably the more sociable of the two involved- though zenith's voice may be heard occasionally muttering something in the background.

"I apologize for how short-notice this is, but we believe it may be best to reconvene about the attack and kidnappings, now. Tomorrow, please come to the library after lunch. ... If they're up for it, please ask your kidnap victim and accompanying weeds to join us. There's a lot that happened. Thank you."

day of, there they are with several tables pushed together and tea pot with. many cups ready just in case. sonata is ready to record everything, while zenith looks less than thrilled but otherwise all-business. )

Thank you for coming. I've prepared some mint tea, with more waiting in the cafeteria if needed. We've also prepared several topics, though we'll of course open the table to more. I ask that we all remain civil or I'll have to have Zenith remove you, and we really don't want that.

( and with that said... it's time to begin. )

WHO: weeds
WHERE: Weeds Clubhouse
WHEN: day 55, morning-midday.

[Your Name has a little speech for anyone in the weeds clubhouse common room.]

Okay, everyone! It's been a rough few days for us. Going out into the mist. Rescuing the abducted sheep. Being... controlled, if you were unfortunate enough to have that happen to you. And then the return, and then the ritual to 'punish' us.

Does anyone have anything they particularly want to share? About what they saw, or what they experienced? Maybe... [a long pause and a sigh] ...maybe it's best we were all on the same page.

--Oh, if you're new, my name is Your Name, by the way.

[General post for weeds! Feel free to ignore Your Name's speech and have your own thread, at whatever time or place around the clubhouse.]

WHO:Daffs
WHERE:DAFF
WHEN:Day 54, post game

[Man who knows what just happened out there. Biscuit sure doesn't know. he woke up to everyone gone, did the math, and started making some tea and snacks for when everyone came back

So trickle on home and get comfy, Daffodil. Have some tea, some pound cake, some tasty meat if you're up for it. Or just sleep it off.]

WHO: Sheep
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Evening, Day 54 (to give some buffer to post-rescue talks during the day)

[Well THAT was a trip. But everyone is returned home relatively safely, the mushrooms are under control, and Death's eye is closed. Maybe things can return to semi-normalcy.

Lol. Lmao.

A dark shadow suddenly sweeps across the Pasture, and you'll find yourself forcibly yanked from where you stand, lay in bed, or otherwise where you're minding your business--though, some will be missed, inevitably. Those who get grabbed though get to glimpse at a massive shadow-like demon, wolf like in appearance but with giant ram horns, glaring down at you. His voice speaks as a whisper in your minds.

You will Speak his Vengeance.

If you do not speak it, I will enact it on his Behalf.

A random sheep waddles by, and then shadows overtake it--the poor sheep begins to contort, gasping for air as it's stretched and twisted into an unnatural eldritch mass, but still Very Much Alive. It rolls off to enjoy its eternal suffering.

And just like that you're yanked into the shadows, the demon's Intent clear in your heads. It's Ritual Time.]

WHO: Sheep, Weeds
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Day 53, shortly after folks are kidnapped

[After seeing Aides get kidnapped and heading back to the pasture to try to get a handle on the situation, it becomes increasingly clear that there needs to be some kind of organization before people go running off to the mists to die.

So! He'll just start a Crowdsourcing Rite on the spot and call out with a surprisingly loud voice:]

Hey!

If we want to get those guys back, we need Weeds to guide us, right? Well, we aren't going to get anywhere without the help, so - let's figure that part out first, all right?

If there are any Weeds willing to guide groups into the mists, or if any Sheep know of any Weeds who might be willing, get them over here. Sheep, organize your teams around the Weeds, make your negotiations if needed - whatever. Just don't go running out there without one.

crittersheep

WHO: Sheep
WHERE: Around the pasture (and possibly outside of it?)
WHEN: Evening 51 through morning 52

[~~~ THE STORY THUS FAR:

👁 The eye was opened forcefully under mysterious circumstances!

🍄 Mushrooms are everywhere, full of dangerous spores and alluring flavors. You may find yourself full of a. nightmares; b. violence; c. mushrooms; d. all of the above.

💪 People are making plans to do recon, fortify the pasture, and probably some other things.

🐑 The sheep are dating!]

WHO: anyone who wants to PREPARE FOR TROUBLE
WHERE: idk somewhere in the pasture that's relatively comfortable. library?
WHEN: nebulous day 51 between shenanigans

[shepherds of sheepgame y'all get a call from Charon at some point:]

We can agree that there's a new foe in the mists with real and active intent to endanger us all, correct? As they've done us the courtesy of a warning strike and not an all-out offensive from the start, let's meet and come up with a plan of action together. I'm sure we're all looking to our barns individually, but it's better if a direct threat never gets that far in.

If people in your flock or Weeds your flock is friendly with want to present some suggestions and solutions themselves, or just attend to stay informed, please have them attend as well.

[WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN, i'll put up some headers, let people know what you/your team are doing or planning under the appropriate ones so that other people can chime in with suggestions and assistance! HANDWAVE YOU GOT TOLD IF YOU WANNA BE THERE.

Charon is not going to be responding to Absolutely Everything because i am but one player but everyone feel free to jump each other. i'll sort out a summary at the end as needed.

ETA: SUMMARY IS here, if you wanna get involved with anything on the list please assume you overheard something about it during the meeting and hit up the other people involved!]

WHO: Anyone But Especially Weeds
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Day 51-ish

[everything is great and everyone you know continues to make great decisions, which is also great! it's a good thing that weird events in the pasture never do anything bad to anyone.

in the meantime, Blossom has dragged this sausage creature with a mushroom in its mouth out from behind a rock. there appears to be a portal of pure darkness ripped into being behind its head, so if you want to like... astral project into that, or just... step into it, honestly...

you're welcome to...?]

(((ooc: This is an Optional Mini Adventure for any Sheep that want to glance at Luck's dream fuckery AND a Weeds only. Thing .

Flock members go here! for you, this is just a short little "comment to receive goodies" sign up, but you might get a nugget of information too.

Weeds go here, there's a special adventure for you today ✨)))

WHO: you
WHERE: lily
WHEN: later day 51

[remember the temporary confessional booth from Tanabaata? it's reappeared in the generally accessible part of Lily's meadow! the sign on it says:

ANONYMOUS CONFESSIONS
Want some advice, or just to get something off your chest?
Want to do it without the pressure of people knowing who you are?
Come in and have a chat!

(We're trying to see if rites work on the fence.)

if you wanna drop in and talk for a few minutes between mushrooms and other nonsense at any point through the day, you can! Lily is using illusions to disguise themselves and whoever comes in as nondescript little sheep in sunglasses.

as a bonus, when you wander outside afterwards, a little ghost sheep will float up to you with a basket of cookies. feel free to take one!]

((the anon journal is 'herdtestimony'! the password has been posted in Discord for anyone who didn't have it saved from last time. Lilies will also be replying anon with the 'whitecollarcrime' journal.

don't forget to pin your threads since you won't get any notifs otherwise!))

finalefantasy

WHO: y'all
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: later afternoon into night 47

[so some stuff has happened! there's stick-together sweaters, there's secret mind-reading potential, there's whatever status effects people are winding up with post-memories, there's memory coins hanging about still ready to be used. some people might still be working their way back from death or wacky adventures, who knows. it's been a weird few days, which is just Sheep's normal at this point, if you think about it.

there are also black birds about the pasture for the rest of the day, Teleute having dissolved back into her many component bodies after the ritual. they don't seem to be up to any obvious mischief, though, mostly perched huddled up on branches, or on the edges of barn roofs with their heads under their wings.

but if you dream/dreamwalk tonight, it can be a little...eerie. however individual psyches manifest this, you might dream of being watched, or being picked apart in the literal or metaphorical sense. you might dream about times in your lives when you felt bleak and cold, like the mist beyond the pasture and the snow within have burrowed into your mind.

(but you might dream of the warmth that brought you out of those times too, of helping hands. or maybe you're the one walking into dreams to bring that to them...?)]

((dreampost literal-nightmare-before-christmas style! you don't have to have a nightmare or follow the prompts laid out if you don't want to, but the chances of having/sharing those types of dreams are generally upped.))

WHO: everyone
WHERE: here, there, everywhere
WHEN: Day 47, morning

[ wowee. It's a new day, but the sleigh is still in the sky and the ritual still seems to be in effect. sick.

Since it's a new day, it's probably snowed in different parts of the pasture so those big, fluffy snowflakes are still at large. And then there's also, you know, this mind reading nonsense that may or may not still apply to you.

How's it going this morning, pasture peeps? ]

soulsurvivore

WHO: Everyone
WHERE: Everywhere
WHEN: Day 46, evening

[ Well! Isn't this a fine day? Despite the snow — or perhaps because of it — it's been a fairly chill (haha) day. So chill, in fact, that people may not have noticed Faith slipping out of her tower and heading to the edge of the pasture. Once she's by the fence, she draws a knife across the palm of her hand before pressing the mark on her arm.

The sky flashes red briefly and then there's . . . more light flurries falling? Huh.

More notable is the big red sleigh that is now going to and fro across the pasture sky. It's led by eight reindeer who seem to be doing a bang up job of keeping it just out of reach, even if people are able to fly. Sitting in the sleigh is Faith herself, all dressed up and looking pretty pleased with herself. Seated next to her holding the reins to the sleigh is what appears to be the ninth reindeer, a skeletal being with a festive hat planted between his tinsel-decorated antlers, his nose glowing an eerie shade of red.

Suddenly, everyone will find themselves with two bingo boards and a stack of memory coins. But these coins aren't normal, as indicated by their candy cane color scheme and the visage of the reindeer demon printed on one side. Instinctively, you know you are responsible for imbuing these coins with memories yourself and that they will work in any water source.

The demon's voice echoes into the night: ]

Share amongst thyselves and release the ghosts of the past once and for all.

[ MEMSHARE RITUAL TIME. The breakdown can be found over here with a link to the bingo cards. Turn in goes here and is due by midnight PST on 12/14. Results will go up at some point on the 15th! ]

worsethingshappen

WHO: unlucky friends
WHERE: in an ever-expanding radius around the lazy river,,,
WHEN: Day 44, early evening into night

[ you might not have noticed, but for the past several days, the lazy river has had an exciting (life-sized) addition. there's only enough room for three people to crowd onto the deck, but those observing from a distance can identify that it and the waterslide are currently taken up by a whole bunch of wobbly birds, several empty kegs, some broken glass, a wobbly upset snake, and a wildly gesticulating (and none too stable) asshole with bags under their eyes. ]

OF COURSE WE NEED MORE! LADY FEATHERS ISN'T DRUNK ENOUGH YET!

[ this appeal appears to be getting an argument, but suddenly, with a pop, another keg appears and the snake falls over. the asshole hands the snake a glass, takes another drink themselves, throws their own glass on the deck so it shatters, and punches the air with a whoop.

all the birds wobble again, in unison. several fall over, and a ripple of something begins to spread out in a slow wave from the boat. ]

((( ooc: DRANK POST! if you enter the AoE for Teleute's GETTING PLASTERED BY PROXY, choose or roll for any combination of the following effects--

BLACKOUT - Everything goes completely dark, and you can't see. Don't fall into the lazy river!

TIPSY TURVY - You physically can't keep your balance, and everything around you is swimming. (Still probably don't want to fall into the lazy river!)

CHEERFUL DRUNK - Everything is great. That guy over there? Great. This pasture? Great. That sheep? Great. The uncontrollable urge to giggle? Amazing.

TALKY DRUNK - Your head feels all muddled up, so you can't resist the urge to ramble about whatever you're thinking...

SAD DRUNK - Everything is terrible. You're terrible. You want to cry. You just tripped over something and no one has ever been so sad about it in the history of the world.

FEISTY DRUNK - ARE YOU GONNA LET THEM TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT????????? HUH???????????????????

REVENGE OF THE DANCING PINK ELEPHANTS - You are probably hallucinating, but whatever boss fight you just conjured for yourself and your friends needs to be fought anyway. Or maybe you ARE an endboss, with magic lasers? Please link your choice of Final Fantasy battle theme.

D̷O̴N̵'̶T̴ ̷F̸A̷L̷L̶ ̸I̵N̴T̵O̵ ̸T̸H̸E̴ ̴L̷A̵Z̶Y̸ ̷R̷I̷V̸E̶R̴ - it's
