[JUST FEEL FREE TO PUT WHATEVER GETTING READY STUFF YOU'D DO HERE. Can just be like action tag narration, a list, whatever. Also can thread stuff.]

[hanging out in a secluded part of the garden. He has some tools with him—hatchet, knife—he’s working on peeling bark off of a tall staff of hickory that has been split in half.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He tilts his head.]

What are you making?

Re: Prep

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He simply takes a couple of deep breaths, his eyes closed, his arrows already packed and a sword at his hip. No Mute this time. It feels so strange. And Leo-- he can recall his name properly, now. Leo has vanished too.

It is alright though. This trip is not about him. It is about John Deer. He just needs to focus. Because otherwise, their dear friend will continue to struggle all alone, and it is the last thing he wants.

Afterall... he feels that, to some extent, he can understand how John feels.]

[ fantasia has his dendro and hydro abilities, so he’s hoping that will help out there… but he’s also sharpening his greatsword. tempo is beside him with his chainsaw and shotgun, chirping at fantasia. ] It’ll be nice to see him again, I agree… but I wish he would have told me that he felt like this, … [ but maybe it’s his fault for not realizing sooner. it’s not like he hadn’t spent a lot of time with the deer family. ] If anybody can help them - it’s Bluebell.

( as a note, harmony has been developing- or redeveloping- her life serum. there are several vials of an aqua-colored liquid. they are filled with proteins, nutrients, fats, minerals, potassium... and a bunch of other fun things. but she doesn't seem satisfied... yet. )

I need a way to activate these, but if it does work, it can rapidly replenish life.

Re: Prep

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Observing with great interest, since it seems close in nature to potionology]

What usually acts as an activating agent?

[FIELD OF DREAMS]

[wooliefrand]

[ONCE BB HAS COLLECTED THEMSELVES, THEY GATHER AT THE FOUNTAIN. They don't know where the fuck the Jim Deer are, but they have a guess--remember that ruined pasture they got a glimpse of the one time? TIME TO FAST TRAVEL THERE:

Suddenly, it feels like there are several Eyes on them all of sudden, and the earth seems to move under them at impossible speed, though they haven't taken a step themselves. It could be a bit disorienting, honestly, but as soon as it becomes uncomfortable, it stops. And they're on solid ground again.

Well. It feels like they're on solid ground. But it's hard to tell. Since they don't have a Weed escort, the Mist swirls all around them. You hear whispers of despair, voices crying out for death. You can't tell which way is up and which way is down.

Better hold on to each other.]

[ Urgently grabbing hold of every single Bluebell with his long noodle arms ]

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[bloominto]

( unfazed, but she is holding on to whoever's closest tightly. )

Interesting...

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[The magic has gone out of the little bits of antler that John once gave them, but Rubato has brought his along anyway, set in a piece of wood he's carved into an antler shape. Possible that he's gotten the other pieces set in it also if the others don't have sentimental attachment to theirs. Why? Dunno, magic reasons. Seemed worth returning.

Anyway, they've got their thread tying them together, but he'll hang on to the closest Bluebells also until everyone can pick a direction.]

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[featherduster]

[ Taking psychic damage on tic from the despairing Mist Voices ]

Any convenient magic senses about where to go?

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[. . . He's feeling motion sick. But at least he's holding tight to the others and gathered up.]

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Doesn't know which way is up but like, will try to help right him anyway!]

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[noarchitact]

[ in addition to rubato's thread, fantasia's going to attempt to wrangle each one of the other bluebell using one of his vines. it'll be a small one, so it's not too in the way, but the more ways they're tethered together the better, especially in the mist. he's also holding onto tempo, who is holding onto his own weaponry and chirping angrily at anything that comes close to them. ]

I think it might just be best to wander... let our hearts guide us, you know?

Re: [FIELD OF DREAMS]

[wooliefrand]

[hold on for dear life!! And speaking of letting your hearts guide you:


Rubato is correct in a way.

Something manages to shine within the twisted winds of the mist. And they hear a voice call out?]

. . .Bluebell?

???

[wooliefrand]

[John will lead those who follow to a building in the center of this ruined pasture. Along the way the pass ruined, decrepit barns, rotting stages that once would put on plays, ashen dirt that once bloomed beautiful flowers, etc.

This building however, while also ancient and in disarray, is still weirdly solid. If anyone recalls the memories Mute showed them of the Nightmare Factory, this resembles it somewhat. . .only. Cuter??. John nods toward the door.]

This place, for some reason I feel a strange energy from it. But I can't figure out what.



[mostly because he is a deer spirit and thus has no hands to open the door.]

Re: ???

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Moving forward his hand falls over the handle of the door.]

There is only one way to find out. Besides, this place feels a little familiar.

Re: ???

[wooliefrand]

[while dusty and rusted, with some force, he can open it.]

I've never seen such a place before. What feels familiar?

Re: ???

[noarchitact]

It'll be alright, John, ...we'll figure this out. [ he holds tempo out and has him scan the door to see if he can't figure out anything special about it, but tempo takes the opportunity to use his chainsaw on the door. this is what you wanted, right, fantasia? ]

Re: ???

[featherduster]

Strange like... what kind of strange?

[ HE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING RIGHT IN THE FRONT DOOR.

But he asks while he's doing that. ]

Re: ???

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Well, if Tempo is taking care of the door he'll follow along!]

Fufu, it's a shame my sense of smell is not as sharp as Roi des Lions'. I'm certain he could sniff it out immediately. Hmm, but perhaps...

THE DREAM (RESULTS)

[wooliefrand]

[As each Bluebell infuses the remains of the dream cloud with their aspirations, their desires, their encouragement, and in some cases, actual fucking science, it grows larger and larger and larger until. . .

John's ears prick up in alarm as he calls out for all them to be careful, but it's too late. The cloud explodes--or should I say, blooms. Flowers pour from the cloud, sunflower stalks, bluebell vines, sweeps of grass, all over taking the building. But they all feel no harm coming to them. In fact, it feels like overwhelming love.

Another flash. They all remember something.

A barn from the past, covered in Sunflowers, one not unlike Bluebell. The people and sheep thrive in the pasture. And not just them, you see glimpses of persons with wolf-like features too, all just having a great time, frolicking, playing, farming together. Some are studying the dreams, the sheep manifesting good dreams and the wolves fighting off nightmares. It looks like this location was an experiment, to see if it was safe enough to let the sheep oversee a smaller version of one of the factories.

Time passes. The wolf people are gone. Is it because of the war? The murder of the priestess? No one's sure. But the sheep grow paranoid, scared. Their own dreams turn to nightmares, overtaking their pasture, drawing in the mist. . .and slowly, but surely it begins to rot and decay, just like in present day. Eventually there's only one member of the flock left, a young teenaged boy. With his pasture and family gone, he's about to give in to the mist, too.

But then, a large deer appears before him. The Earth Spirit. . .

The memory cuts off, and they're all standing in....the middle of a pasture? Well, one, anyway. All the rotting buildings have been overtaken by swaths of beautiful sunflowers and other plants, save for the Dream Daycare. It's small, but has been restored fully, cottage-like with deer topiary decorating its path. It looks like it'd be a nice hang out spot!

. . .well, there's still mist around, but strangely, you have no issue walking in it.


Oh, and there's also one other person with you all now. He blinks, sitting up, unsure of what happened. ]

Re: THE DREAM (RESULTS)

[wooliefrand]

[Meanwhile, at the edge of the greenery where the true mist begins, the Jim Deer and other ghostly spirits stand, watching on. The Earth Spirit bows its head as the others turn and head out, continuing their work.

Please take care of him, and let his power guide you.

And then he too, is gone.

ooc: CONGRATS more details to come - John can bless bits of jewels and holy items to let people traverse the mist safely without weed guidance. This is limited to just BB and their CR for now, but can expand gradually! aka whenever I feel like it just ask--!]
