wooliefrand | NPC CALL OUT

Unless noted here, she can be found practically anywhere within the pasture, usually with a big book or trying to help or pacify sheep. ETA POST BABY GAME Blossom can't be contacted! Stormy is in charge--if asked he'll say she's working on shit.

Stormy

He is not as visibly present as Blossom, and may brush you off! But if Blossom is around he's usually Some Where, even if it's not obvious.

Daisy

Daisy is only ever found in her ice cream parlor. Where does she go at night? Mystery. Note: Currently Daffodil has exclusive access to her butter supply, and Clover has exclusive access to her cream. If you want any of these items, you need to ask them! Bluebell and Rose also knows where to find natural salts.

Coco

A mysterious cat found in an underground maze. She currently guards a chamber full of rations, and occasionally distributes a small amount of corn, rice/grains, breads, special root vegetables, and chocolate/coffee. Currently only Daffodil can access the area. ETA As of Day 27 Coco can be found in a little building outside of the fence!! Only Daffodil currently can get inside still, but people can see and talk to her from the windows.

Red

Red's shop is open from sunrise to sunset! He's more than willing to chat and barter. Do not try to talk to him at night. ETA AS OF DAY 31, RED IS MIA. There is a sign on the door that says "Taking Time Off :) If Emergency, ask BS or use your Sheep Rites!"

The Snake

The Snake is a mysterious little entity with a grudge against Blossom! He will only willingly appear for Weeds, but others may have a chance to glimpse him. . .

How does that prove he's safe?

We have only your word that those images aren't fabricated and you'll have to forgive me if I have a hard time finding you trustworthy.

That's. Very dark, but, fair.

I don't know what to do to you. I'm tired of your incompetence and the sight of you makes me nauseous.

I want to set you on fire, but you'll just run away to another body.

Yes please don't do that??? What would that accomplish?? I-I'm sorry but--I can at least try to send a letter or note to him?

I can't prove he'll get it either tho. . .

[It would make him feel better for like two seconds.]

Send him a note? With what message? Something to worry him more than he already will be?

What exactly CAN you do correctly that doesn't involve avoiding answering for anything?

[can CRY ON COMMAND]

STOP BAWLING!

[Attempts to summon a vine to hang her upside-down by her feet.]

WAH--!!

[UP SHE GOES dangling like a rag doll]

[Makes sure she's spun around to face him, but doesn't expect much from this.]

Shock the Heart.

[The ability should compel her to answer truthfully for a short time, but any number of things could keep that from being possible in this case. It won't stop him from trying.]

I'm going to ask you some questions and you're going to answer me honestly.

What really happens to people when they disappear from this place?

[There's a pulsating wave of energy--weird!! Does the magic actually work on her? Hm--]

[in any case she's flailing upside down]

I told you they're supposed to go back home!!! U-unless they're dead then they go back to being dead--!

W,wugh I'm getting dizzy. . .!

Stop squirming!

[Pond Fiend grits his teeth. That helped nothing. One more question is probably all he can do.]

What are you, really?

Edited 2023-08-04 15:05 (UTC)

W-whatdo you mean??? I'm, I'm --!

[wuh oh, her color is draining away and the sheep is turning back to a standard field one]

DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME!! I'll tear this sheep apart!

I-i'm not don't hurt them--!! Wah!

[Poof! Normal sheep. But a nearby rose sheep begins to shake before taking on blossoms form, looking panicked]

--I, I'm sorry b,but I'm still here, see??

[The merman tucks the sheep she'd been possessing under his arm.]

You avoided my question.

How am I supposed to trust anything you say if you won't give us straight answers?

Y-you're asking weird questions!! I'm a sheep just like you!!

I'm not a sheep!

And I doubt you are either! Stop acting innocent. It's disgusting.

I'm not acting! I-I'm sorry about your brother, b,but I promise he's safe!

I don't want any of you to be hurt. . .I mean, yes I did kidnap you but it doesn't help me to hurt you all. . .

[It's so infuriating.

He can't really hurt her. He can't force any answers out of her. And all she does is continue to look useless to him.]

Yeah, because you need us to fix your screw-ups, right?

[Pond Fiend takes his pen and magically marks a little star on the back of his sheep hostage's left ear. He'll get back to this one. Then he tosses it aside.]

I don't accept your promises and I don't trust any of your assurances. If you want to accomplish anything here you need to demonstrate some level of competence, because so far I've seen none.

[And then he stomps off before he tries to set her on fire despite the uselessness of it all.]

[what did you do to that sheep sir!!

Blossom...continues to look useless, but calls out to him as he leaves]

I really am sorry. I'll make sure you meet each other again--!

[Without turning around:]

Unless you can send us all back, don't bother. You'll only make things worse.

. . .

[time to just lay down on her face for a bit]

_{[ appears from nowhere beside her downed figure. ]}

Family is certainly complicated, isn't it...? Easier than anything to hurt people with.

Maybe you should go ask your precious friend Fuwa for advice on them, for the future. After all we've went through to get them back.

_{[ slinks off after Pond Fiend. ]}

[there is probably no good way to reveal that she secretly followed him, so she won't even try. as Pond Fiend draws near, she'll emerge from wherever she was hiding. somewhere far enough away to be hidden but still within listening range.]

Feeling better?

[JUMPS AND FALLS OVER. rose has immediately failed the Stop Just Appearing challenge--]

NO???
