[ ears twitch this way and that, like trying to shake out all the sounds ]

Besides the wails of despair.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

[ he frowns. ]

Names, I guess. A lotta names.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

That doesn't seem like something strange? An odd supply and demand, what with all of us conveniently forgetting our original names before...

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

Everything is strange here.

But... you mean a new kinda strange.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

I mean at odds with the previous conditions we knew about kind of strange. The Snake told me that no matter what you shouldn't give your real name to a demon. Having everyone conveniently forget theirs seemed like a security measure, which seems to be a worthwhile tradeoff since Blossom is...

[ incompetent? inept? probably crying right this second? ]

...busy with other things.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

[ he snorts at that. ]

Say what you really mean. I won't tell.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

She's an idiot. But also this seems like something she'd dabble in. After all, her boytoy Stormy got his name back and almost killed a bunch of us with lightning.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

Huh. Reckon Ceo — Chrysanthemum — is gonna follow in his footsteps?

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

[ giving a considerate pause to think about that ]

...if he does, we've done more damage to that settlement than some light thievery and property damage.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

... what did you guys get up to? All I did was gamble some.

[ and terrify some poor charity workers. and inadvertently summon his new dad. ]

Nue beat up some wolves, but he went easy on them... I think.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

We found the headquarters of the city. There were a lot of folks looking for resources so I tried to find a way into the building that didn't involve creating a riot.

Eh, still ended up with a bunch of wolves shouting and waving fire extinguishers around but nothing that would end up on a civil unrest biopic.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

Man. Not that I'm switchin' sides, but I get why they hate us. I mean, I already sort of did, but this is a bit...

[ much? ]

...well, it's like home. Everyone keeps messin' things up for everyone else.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

[ gives a small chuff of a laugh at "sides" ]

Oh, we've given them more than enough cause to find us unforgivable monsters. But considering he started this with torturing and kidnapping, I'd say it's a mutually destructive relationship.

Is your home like the city we left? With the rationing and refugees?

[ it would explain the klepto tendencies. but then so does "I feel like it"... ]

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

Oh, no. Not exactly.

But it is mutually destructive. All of us are unforgivable monsters.

It never stops.

[jerkalope]

Heh, it's a rare thing to hear someone admit that so plainly!

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

But there are ways to break the cycle. The first one being a suicide pact where everyone hurts and maims until there's no one left to continue the grudge! Pretty easy, just continue as they are!

The other one would be something a little harder. I admit, it's been pretty frustrating just to get an idea of how some of this came about. And when you have so many unwilling participants, eh, the variables are all over the place...

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

[ ... heh. ]

Do you think I regret being an unforgivable monster?

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

Everyone has regrets. I know that.

But! Whether or not you have them tied up in how you judge yourself, that's something I'm still observing about you~

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

Yeah?

[ don't tilde at him you little fuzzball ]

Observe away. Not everyone's as soft-hearted as our favorite wolf prince.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

Hah, he's a marshmallow compared to most of the flocks here! Slightly more ruthless than Bluebell.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

'Marshmallow'. Cute.

So, your second option. Tell me more?

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

What, like who's the second most soft hearted group?

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

[ shakes his head. ]

Nah, the other way to break the cycle of destruction. The non-suicide pact.

Re: The Meadow

[jerkalope]

Oh, that. Long shot but it would involve all the interested parties putting their scraps of information together to find out the cause for the Wolf King scourge and all this demon possession nonsense. Then formulating a plan to fix it.

Made extra difficult because said parties are Blossom, Stormy, Red, Chrysanthemum and who knows what else. Liars, posers, psychopaths, and fools! These are Vegas odds for you to gamble on.

Re: The Meadow

[failsaver]

You mean Marshmallow.

[ sorry that's important ]
