PREPARATIONS

[survivaltricks]

[CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SAGA NOW. . .]

[Lupin has his crook resting against his shoulder as he gently brushes his fingers against the hilt of his knife]

. . . is everyone ready?

Re: PREPARATIONS

[leonheartedly]

[IT SURE IS A SAGA. He's like a small armory at this point now, stuffin' a bag with . . . bazooka rounds . . . (however many Ash said Tyr could get the stuff to make)]

Always.

[survivaltricks]

[watching him pack away the bazooka rounds. . . and grins]

Think you've got enough to blow up an entire skyscraper.

Re: PREPARATIONS

[reportinastorm]

[Flora has gathered several sunflowers, which she's struggling to carry in her arms and considering the best way to secure.]

Almost...

[survivaltricks]

[flashing her a lopsided smile, before holding one hand out]

Do you want me to carry some of those for you?

Re: PREPARATIONS

[leonheartedly]

[he holds open the bag he has the bazooka rounds in]

Want to stick a few in here?

Re: PREPARATIONS

[papartner]

I can take a few off your hands if you need help?

[ he is not carrying much. ]

Re: PREPARATIONS

[dadinside]

Ready.

[suddenly not a messy mop of hair!

he's got one gun and some ammo. and a knife. doesn't seem bothered.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . ????]

Transformation sequence. . .?

Re: PREPARATIONS

[reportinastorm]

[:o]

Do you have experience with this sort of thing?

Re: PREPARATIONS

[leonheartedly]

Wow.

[that's it, that's what he has to say]

Re: PREPARATIONS

[stirtheblood]

[Edgelord is also here. He has not done any preparations. Look, he tried the "planning ahead" thing for his last mist trip and it was a waste of time since all his sunflowers burnt up immediately. Lesson learned]

Anytime!

[shortforever]

[He hold up a handful of assorted materials: small shells, nuts from the forest trees, small rocks, etc.]

I didn't want to make a deal with Red for real bullets, so this'll have to do.

[And yeah, him just being here is his contribution too.]

Re: PREPARATIONS

[papartner]

As ready as I'm gonna be.

[ he does look ready! but like, not thrilled about this. he is double checking that his pistol is secure in a pocket ]

travel time doot doot doot

[shortforever]

Alright, it looks like we're ready to go, so let's get going.

[He goes over to the fountain to touch the scales.

...he has to stand on the edge of the fountain to reach the scales...

But he does it! And while he's touching it, he thinks of the cave they visited months ago, with the gold statues and the gold demon. He will be thinking specifically of just outside the entrance, since the cave is collapsed and all.]

Re: travel time doot doot doot

[stirtheblood]

[Edgelord is here for people to touch in preparation for the travel! With the addition of Bombay, they can probably make a better human chain than last time.

The fast travel is new, so he "huh"s at that, before]

Awwwwright, let's go!!

Re: travel time doot doot doot

[wooliefrand]

[WHEN THEY ARE READY, and pray to the fountain, the scales of the Forever Snake, knowing exactly where they wish to go.

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.

Grey, dead ground.

They're suddenly back at the Gold Demon's former lair, and the mist is thin enough here that you don't need constant contact with a Weed so long as you stay within the cavern (when leaving ,they will absolutely need them). That said, the cavern's entrance is sort of kinda.............a pile of rubble. What due to the whole BLOWING UP THE CAVE THING.

So better get to making yourselves an entrance. ]

THE PASTURE

[wooliefrand]

[Like last time, it's a good trek back to the pasture. Unfortunately fast travel only works one way! There will likely be at least a few mist wolf attacks on the way back but like. Yall got guns yall will be fine probably (feel free to roll if yall want to deal with werwolfism--, anything higher than 5 and you get bit!).

BUT after at least a good couple hours of walking, you finally make it back to the pasture in one piece. And as soon as you're over the fence, almost all of those floating statues? The gold IMMEDIATELY starts melting, sloshing off of them, leaving confused, humanoid beings--most with some sort of sheep features (horns, wool on their wrists, tails, etc), all wearing different colored collars with bells, and all looking UTTERLY horrified.

But before you can ask them anything or they can let out a scream, they warp, all turning into tiny sheep of various colors of the pasture, staring blankly, unable to recall anything or speak a word. Yay :3


Well!! The Weed you rescued is still in tact. And weird, so is Red's statue. That's completely in one piece. Wack.

Do as you will!]

Re: THE PASTURE

[reportinastorm]

[Meryl... also... takes pictures of this process. Though she doesn't get very good shots since she is delayed by staring in horror for a bit too long.]

...Well... It's probably best they're back here, at least...

Re: THE PASTURE

[leonheartedly]

[oh so it's just like the other one they brought back, that's nice, at least there's no screaming this time]

. . . well, that was fun.

[deadpanned]

Re: THE PASTURE

[papartner]

[ nope, don't like that sheep transformation thing at all ]

Holy shit. I mean, I guess, but...

[ let's not think about it and just go to check on Red's statue instead ]

[shortforever]

[Plops the Red statue down on the ground.

Then does a fox window to try and draw out Red.]

Re: THE PASTURE

[survivaltricks]

[wheezes]

. . . I'm a little surprised that went so well.

Re: THE PASTURE

[dadinside]

[watching them all turn to dumb, adorable sheep.

hm.]

Anti-climatic.
