What a quaint aesthetic!

I would be more curious if not for past experiences!

Which past experiences, specifically?

All previous rituals.

Well yeah, but...

...is this a ritual? If so, what's the objective?

I assume any time I find myself somewhere unknown without warning that it's a ritual.

I guess we'll see.

Wanna look around?

We might as well!

Is there anything worth taking with us?

Think these guys have a carafe of blood laying around they don't mind us borrowing?

It might not hurt to ask!

Very true!

[She attempts to get Vera's attention.]

[It's very much Stormy being harassed by Roses of the past.]

[Yeah but what are the past roses like? are they ALL cute alligators?!?]

[THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY ALLIGATORS....

Their features can't be made out completely, but they're all humanoid, going hard on the dapper victorian vamp aesthetic, and all very beautiful. While some def have tell-tell sheep signs (curled horns on their heads, or little sheep tails), there are a few with more carnivore tells. Longer or pointed ears or claws, and such.

One is running around serving tea though--she has a rose in her hair and scales on her cheek. Hm!!]

[Can we take her with us--]

[NO!!1

brings him some tea]

Vera? Is that you?

[she perks up to attention!!!]

--ah?? A new Rosebush? Oh my, I'm lacking in my duties, hello!

[???]

What's going on? Is this a ritual?

[A tilt of her head]

A ritual. . .? Oh! Ah, every Rose has their humor. There's been no need for a ritual in months. Eheheh, remember how our Shepherd said we perhaps summon something "spicy?" I think he's a little bored.

[Blinks]

Our shepherd?

[She looks past Vera at the crowd, looking for someone with a staff.]

I wouldn't mind something spicy either, come to think of it.

[A figure with both sheep and reptilian features harasses Stormy extra hard. You can tell he's the leader because he has a cravat and his staff takes the form of a bat-themed cane he twirls around.]

--you wouldn't mind it?? B,but it's so peaceful. Is. . .is that your wish?

...I guess it depends on what you mean by "spicy."

Specifically, I wouldn't mind something like a carafe of an especially good vintage of blood. Something truly restorative. You know what I mean?

Spicy but not catastrophic.

Ummm. Um. Sure!! I can do that.

[she clasps her hands in prayer]

MASS SANITY CHECK - EVERYONE ROLL SANITY. IF LESS THAN 4, YOU BRIEFLY ENVISION BLOOD POURING ALL AROUND YOU. -1 SANITY.

ROSES ARE IMMUNE. +1 to your Sanity.

[Vera stops praying and gives them. . .some wine! Whoever consumes it boosts ALL their stats by 1]

Does this help??

[6. not today rose]
