Wow, you didn't even listen. I'm hurt.

[ does not seem hurt at all ]

[finalbows]

[ absently, ]

Torment was fine.

[failsaver]

What are you thinking now, Sir Angel Named Devil?

[finalbows]

...it's pointless, anyway. I've apparently failed completely in my redirect.


But it would have been tempting. To the ballast of Rose.

[failsaver]

Ah, the dismissal of your own idea so you don't have to voice it aloud. Heard that one before too!

[finalbows]

[failsaver]

Did you silence yourself?

[finalbows]

_{[ he ought to have. ]}

No one knows what makes a weed turn to a bell, or a bell turn to a weed. It happened, once, in our flock, already. There's no rhyme or reason why that we understand. It's like planning on a freak snowstorm.

... ah. ]

Would you feel better if you were a Weed?

[finalbows]

It would be easier. I could merely carry their enmity off on my shoulders.

[failsaver]

[ grins. eyes the staff ]

Whatever you say, Angel Named Devil.

[ ports it into his hand. whole, miraculously. ]

[finalbows]

Get your hands off of HER staff!

[failsaver]

[ ports away (still within field of view), staff in hand. still intact ]

Woooow, are you pawning responsibility off to someone else now? To Miss Azdaja?? That's so silly, Angel Named Devil! It's sure childlike for someone who's never been a child!

But if you really want to throw your flock away, I'll keep this thing safe for now. I swear on the truth field I'm too lazy to use!

[ teleports to the opposite side of field of view ]

Oh, right, I forgot to ask! When you were all pouty earlier, when you said --

[ Angie impression ]

"Carry the word wide, Weed, it's your blasted purpose."

[ end Angie impression ]

What did you mean, exactly? I know what my purpose is, but nobody's telling me what they think it's supposed to be! To be a target of the pasture's frustration? To mope about how the world hates us and how alone we are?

_{[ fucking-- manually running after this teleport spamming piece of SHIT because if he TOUCHES his mana right now he will USE IT and he doesn't want to BE THIS MAD DOG ANYMORE ]}

[finalbows]

To cause-- PROBLEMS-- to the FLOCKS, you brat! Something I'm already doing well enough of that there wouldn't even be a DIFFERENCE!

[failsaver]

[ if he gets close he's porting again lol ]

For what? What's the point? For fun? Personal gain? Because Blossom's evil and the Snake is almighty? What did the Snake tell you? What were you told about the Snake?

[finalbows]

WHO! CARES! GIVE BACK SHADOW FIEND'S STAFF!

[failsaver]

Shadow Fiend? I heard they were missing too! Are you trying to give this thing to someone who wasn't even there, after you defended the one with cat ears?

Answer the question and I'll give it back, new friend! I care.

<sub>[ heavy breathing because he's a noodle.
god. he's right.

he's the shepherd. this isn't shadow fiend's staff.

it's his staff. he's the goddamn shepherd. he's the one with the absolute power to shatter and crumble. he's the one who didn't even tell anyone in his flock he was compromised except for the goddamn cat who's gone missing. why? shadow fiend would have tried to help. apparently even goddamn pondie would have tried to help. this isn't the warriors of chaos. this isn't where he was. this is the pasture, and he's ruined everything about it; opened, as he always does, a seal on the evils of the world. ]</sub>

2/2

[finalbows]

Because.. Blossom said. And because the Snake had in the past taken dominion of death, and let Her Grace vent her pain and rage upon us.


That's it.


...Give me back my staff.

[failsaver]

Haha. Do you believe everything she tells you?

[finalbows]

No. She's a secretive little witch who decries responsibility for her actions through emotional theatrics and promises that she has it, "all under control."

[failsaver]

[ giggles ]

Weellllll, I'm sure she has her reasons! That doesn't tell me why the Snake intercepted her summon though. Why did you believe that we have to cause problems for flocks, if all you had was Blossom's word? You're not stupid, Angel Named Devil! There's more, isn't there?

What did the Snake tell you about the Weeds? What did the Weeds tell you about the Snake?

[finalbows]

I. Don't.
Know.
Tumbleweed.

And I don't care what any little barn animal tries to charge anyone here to do. All I want is...

_{[ to live here, circa peaceful early yesterday morning, with his brother safe in Gaia far, far away from him. ]}

I don't HAVE your answers.

[failsaver]

To disrupt the harmony of the pasture. That's what I was told. No instructions, no guidance. Just that.

[ blinks as the staff flies back and hits Angie in the face. ]

Ah.
