[HERE WE GO

Once everyone is properly buffed and Blossom now smells like rotting meat and Minuet is picked on and Lethe is tsundere, it's time to follow the lily trail into the mist.

Via baby leashes.

Blossom leads them, waddling over the pasture's fence (and by over i mean someone picks her up over it), through the meadow, and finally into the mist according to the trail. And if it's your first time, well. . .

Immediately upon entering, the mist engulfs you, wind howling all around and voices whispers at your ears. An oppressive air of dread hangs over your head, a crushing despair, a choking sense hopelessness, it all claws at you, and if not for your thin connection to Blossom at the moment? It would overwhelm you. Also, despite JUST entering, it's near impossible to tell which way is up or down. Ananke and Minuet can sense the way back to the meadow at least but everywhere else? They're nearly blind. Minuet may also note that when he had the antler shard, it dulled the feeling of the mist, mostly silenced the whispers. Here though, those voices ask you are you predator or prey? Are you lost? Aren't you tired of being tired, don't you just want to die?

Well, as long as they keep a hand on that harness/leash, the atmosphere won't get to them. Probably. It's difficult to see ANYTHING, but what they can make out, they'll see signs of barren land, dead forests, and animals scraping by for survival. Is that a cute little deer nibbling at the last remaining shrubs of a bush? Not any more, as a shadow wolf viciously mauls it, not out of hunger, but out of rage, as noted by the many other rotting corpses littering the mist.

BUT HEY FORGET THAT, WHAT ABOUT THOSE LILIES?? They wither even faster in this fog, but Blossom is doing her best to waddle after them as fast as her legs will carry her.]

W-whatever you all do, just, don't call attention to yourselves. We need to stay focused.

[ straight up vibing in the misery aura. absorbing it to grow stronger.

[maybe aides should be leading us huh]

[ underworld experience OP ]

[ AHAHAHA HEY WHAT THE FUCK IT WASN'T LIKE THIS BEFORE,

[ HE'S FINE. HE'S FINE. HE'S FINE. ]

[YOU ARE NOT AND USUALLY THAT'S OKAY BUT NOT TODAY.]

( ,,,,,,,

[they're one of the few living plants in the mist so

( well. that fucking sucks.

[wordlessly offers his hand, if he needs something else to lean on as they go]

( seems embarrassed to be weak like this but does take his hand and gives it a little squeeze. )

... ya need someone with longer legs to carry ya or do ya gotta waddle on the ground yerself?

[ Keeping up his position at the rear so he can watch for any sign of anything trying to approach the party as best he can

Wow he hates all of this ]

[fear resistance automatically activates so that's nothing to worry about! Lethe also applies a stealth skill so he isn't as easily detected by anything wandering the mists; it's better than nothing even if he can't apply it to everyone.]

[no thoughts, head empty, they're just going for a spooky walk into the haunted mist. all good on this front.

basically he's slowpoke and his oblivious skill has activated

[to styx]

It's okay, it's best I lead.

[then she stops briefly, ears twitching. For anyone with sensitive hearing and not overwhelmed by despair, there's the sound of snarling and snapping in the distance]

A-aides, can you make a bunch more of those lights? And can anyone else do something like that?
