[8IIII!!!!]

Hmph. You're lucky I want Blossom dead as much as anyone else! She's the traitor everyone talks about, the one who murdered the king's child!
strateelgic: (noticed)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that much I've heard.

I'll ask something easy, then. I had small glimpses of a dream I wasn't actually allowed to be involved in. There was a snake statue there. The Forever Snake. You take the form of a snake, so I thought perhaps there was a connection, like you might have been a follower of theirs, or under their jurisdiction. Something along those lines.

Some of us in the pasture have had run-ins with this Holy Beast, but the wolf leader claimed his people couldn't make contact as easily. Do you know why that is?

Eeeh? Are you stupid of something?

The Forever Snake is the patron of my village! Many other wolf-kind worship it! But a long time ago it disappeared for some reason. I've never seen it myself--[because he's too young]--but everyone knows about it. I think it's stupid to pray to it though. I can solve all my own problems!!

[another frown though, thinking]

Though I guess the elders mentioned something about it disappearing after the child was killed and the giant ram attacked.
strateelgic: (sincere)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-04 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I did say we were told so very little. How are we to respond to situations appropriately when we know nothing?

[Though it looks like he'll have to address the Forever Snake himself about this, if he can.]

I don't even know what my own flock is supposed to be like, and I'm its shepherd. The wolf leader said the way I described us was nothing like the Rose he remembered.

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-04 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what Rose is supposed to be like either. As far as I'M concerned you're all just as bad as Blossom. I never visited this place bef--er, I was too BUSY to pay attention to you mere mortals.
strateelgic: (away)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-05 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. How silly of me.

Well, having asked several questions of you, is there anything I might be able to answer for you in return? Barring Blossom's weakness, before you ask. I don't know it myself.

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-06 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[a flick of his tongue, thinking]

Why are YOU interested in the Forever Snake?
strateelgic: (trustworthy)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-06 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
He's the only holy beast I've had a run-in with while here. Unlike others who have their hands in every pot, my encounters with the more powerful beings of this place have been minimal.
wooliefrand: (pic#16462986)

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-06 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Kkh, I've never met them. . .but what would you do, if you were able to achieve a proper audience with them?
strateelgic: (pitying)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-06 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I believe it's important for our pasture to be on good terms with any holy beast we can manage it with, so I would ask them if there was any way I could be helpful to them.

Though I may not have much to offer, weak little being than I am in comparison.
wooliefrand: (pic#16345749)

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-08 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hah! You're at least smarter than most sheep. Yes, yes you are a worm compared to me!!

Perhaps when I crush Blossom, should my minions desire it, I will spare you and offer you a heap of rewards once I have appeased the king!

[a beat, considering]

While I don't remember much, the elders of my village would offer a certain plant to the Forever Snake. I don't remember what sort, but if you DO meet it, I suggest you pay its respects.
strateelgic: (prepared)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I would be nothing but respectful.

I don't suppose you recall anything about what the plant looked like, so I could keep an eye out?
wooliefrand: (pic#16345748)

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-08 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately not, I never attended those ceremonies. They bored me.


[he had to nap]
strateelgic: (pullover)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Understandable. Religious ceremonies are rarely designed with entertainment in mind. I will ask elsewhere.

Was this informational exchange satisfactory to you?
wooliefrand: (pic#16345748)

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-08 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[turns his little snake nose up]

I suppose, it wasn't awful.

But do not get comfortable!! For as long as you follow that treacherous sheep, we are enemies!
strateelgic: (noseless)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[The idea that he "follows" Blossom is laughable to him, but that's not a topic he wants to get into here.]

I'll keep that in mind. I'm most grateful for your time in the meanwhile.
wooliefrand: (pic#16345748)

[personal profile] wooliefrand 2024-02-08 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. You better be.

I leave you in the care of my minion for now.

[a nod at Your Name. and he slithers off into the shadows]
strateelgic: (correct)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Turns to her with a smile.]

You do realize you're following an actual child.
strateelgic: (pitying)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I will leave you to your preferences.

The conversation was illuminating regardless, so I thank you for arranging it.
strateelgic: (pensive)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
The wolf I conversed with did, yes. "So that worm is still alive" were his words, if I remember correctly.
strateelgic: (magnanimous)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2024-02-08 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
There unfortunately aren't many to give. I was trying to pry out information in regards to the King's Court, but obviously I was the one at a disadvantage there. All he would say about it was that it hadn't existed in ages.
