mygod | audience: astarion

[ the crow does its job. it pecks the shit out of astarion and then flies off with the message. does it even work? does anything in this town even work?

eventually there's footsteps followed by muffled cursing approaching though. and then there's suddenly that same crow being thrown at astarion at mach fuck. famine stands a few feet away, also pecked and looking real mad about it ]

[ astarion does not get to hear war approach. they are stupidly silent. but they do clear their throat when they appear. they are fixing their hood a bit.

there is a crow floating in the air beside them, spread eagle and frozen (non-icy) in place. ]

It works.

[ After a little bit, he will hear someone walk over. Hello! It is Pestilence, with a crow perched on top of their head. They peck at the gold decorations of their mask annoyingly. ]

Hiya! Guess that answers that.

[In a while, Death approaches. Their steps are uneven as one of their feet drags more than the other, and they walk with a cane. Their crow is there too, cawing from their shoulder.]

You could've just sent one if you wanted to test it.

[ why the hell were you still awake, GO TO SLEEP

they show up, this time making a little bit of noise. the sound of their book snapping shut as it floats beside them. ]

Tomorrow, the ritual that will keep the unstable monster affinity at bay will be complete.

[ feeling like this may or may not be a serious or important question. anyhow, war responds with a letter in return so astarion gets pecked by the crow repeatedly during the conversation until astarion makes them come out. ]

Ask it.

[ the crow will eventually lead famine to astarion's lil house which famine will enter without knocking. rudeass ]

Did you need to make your request all the way out here.

[ fucking help

well pestilence is going to walk over and just. stare at him for a bit. ]

Sweet potatoes.

[ hewwo.

well, as always, the annoying ass crow will lead pesto to him. ]

Whatcha in the mood for!

[ famine will wander out to wherever astarion is. they are munching on a sandwich from trial ]

You want me to lie to you?

[ arrives like maleficent again, i guess. ]

At least now you know how to deal with it.

[ imagine he woke them up from a nap (no). they glide out quietly, but don't seem intent on spooking really. ]

You at least gave me warning for additional questions. I'm listening.

[ boo.

they appear very suddenly and without warning somewhere behind him because of course they do. ]

Not fond of the dilapidated bathroom?

[ forgot to say........ gimme a memshare you want to give ]

[ WELL

pestilence will go to locate him once again. please rng me any memory. ]

Astarion...

[ showing up to the attic but first ]

Why do you keep inviting me to strange locations.

[ also give mem ]

[ ok, well, this is fair.

war shows up after a bit, and the energy is very frazzled and tired even though they are in a robe and a mask. ]

You may ask.

[ meets astarion wherever... ]

Ever thought we should stop meeting like this?

[ uwah

he will get an invite to head over to the npc's place. pesto will be waiting outside for him. ]

[ help me. are you looking for attention, astarion? are you feeling left out? they should really just keep sending crows back to peck the shit out of him, but they begrudgingly show up. ]

Unicorns.

[ help help.

it takes them a few minutes to show up because they are just looking at this note like wtf. ]

Do you have experience with games turning you into a wheel of cheese?

[ This Monday, one of the crows will come to Astarion without being beckoned over. In simple script, they are told to pass through the fog on the south side of the village and go to the garden that the Overseers were seen tending to on the very first Monday. While there, Famine meets them and hands them the following parchment: ]

You have been chosen to complete one task in exchange for a piece of information that will aid the village’s goal of escaping sacrifice. You have until the night sky once again changes with the new week. Complete this task and be rewarded.

✦ TASK: Get someone to agree to fake date you for the rest of the week.

[ Your Overseer is present to answer any questions. ]

[ wandering over ]

I don't know what gave you the impression that I know about food. Are you stupid?

What is a s'more?

[ help

she is just going to... go to where he is... uncertainly... ]

What's stuck...?

[ we're in it now babygirl astarion. THIS TELLS HIM NOTHING AND SO MUCH.

he hunts astarion down via crow, mask in hand and jingling. there is a brown, spotted and striped cat wandering after him. ]

Astarion?

[ here's famine! assuming they're at the new locations... their emotions are quiet. there is a little bit of interest at the mention of experiments, but otherwise there's just a very neutral baseline here ]

Necessary.

Not that I understand what the hell they were trying to accomplish here.
