wooliefrand | Bluey's Big Adventure

[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. ]

[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--!]

[picking john up and swinging him around]

[WHY]

Is, is this supposed to happen,

... well, there is something that affects the forms of people who are closely associated with the reclaimed pastures, I think. But you have shown us this form before so.. at the least it is not too unfamiliar, I hope?

Oh! Unless you meant the burst of magic that just occurred? That was an experiment!

That part too, yeah. I thought this form was a curse before. . .

[nope it just meant he was already too doki for BB]

Do you dislike it?

John!!! [ grabbing a hold of him and giving him a GREAT BIG hug!!! ]

[oh lord he's flesh and blood now this sucks]

I'm. Still here I guess??

Of course you are! [ snuggles. ] Look at you, John, you're adorable. And look at all this! It's absolutely AMAZING!

I feel stupid!! [wah,,,,

But, his eyes do sparkle looking over the pasture]

It really came back to life though. . .I didn't think it was possible.

Don't feel stupid.

And it did. It looks incredible...

And we couldn't have done it without you. This really was a team effort. [ sets him down and takes a knee, smiling. ] And you really are as Bluebell as they come. I hope you'll come back with us. I can make you your own room.

...

( she wants to pick him up. but for now, she'll just pat his head. )

You must be tired. Let's return home.

[thank u for his dignity and yet rubato lifts him right in the air]

You--you mean with you guys?

Naturally.

. . .

. . .

[red :I,,,]

I guess that's fine.

I knew that you could do it!

[Gathering him up proudly.]

You succeeded!

[he is just going to have to get used to being picked up]

Technically you guys did it. . .! I had no idea this would happen.

We did not know what would happen exactly either. We just hoped it would help. I did not do anything at all but hope.

That's kind of how you all operate, isn't it? That blind faith and optimism is kind of admirable.

Or at least, I admire it.

[ Yeah get used to it dude. BABY SIMBA HOLD ]

YES!!! See?! Teamwork!

[internal scream]

I think that was more of your trial and error?!

All of us contributed. After all, we never even would've found the place without you.

[ . . . ]

Are you okay with this, though? Leaving Jim and the others?

[a beat, and then he nods, looking toward the edge of the mist]

Yeah. I guess I never was one of them anyway.

They were just looking out for me.
