Really?

[genuinely:]

How do I defect?

[wooliefrand]

Kahaha! You don't even know that?!

[pauses. he really doesn't know how either,,,]

Well! You have to--break Blossom's hold on you, pull away from that wretched herd mentality! But the magic is strong, I suppose.

[wants_the_phd]

Yeah, well, I can try. It's not like anyone actually likes Blossom. We'd take her down ourselves, if we could.

And I'm not even attached to "my flock", either. I don't even know these people.

[and some of them actively scare the shit out of her.]

[wooliefrand]

I would advise murdering them all but given the fate of my last minion that was so gung-ho, I assume that would not be wise.

[wants_the_phd]

[oh yeah she heard about the Patches Incident]

Yeah, unfortunately, I can't help you there. Everyone here can kick my ass.

[SIGH!]

Would it be okay if I asked you a few more questions? You don't have to answer any, if you need to keep some things confidential. Again, my aim here is script material. I'm not trying to compromise anyone's safety except Blossom's.

[wooliefrand]

Hmph. Since you asked so kindly, you may proceed.

[wants_the_phd]

Thanks.

Real quick, I'd like to ask you about some of the other characters that are in the play, and if you can tell me anything interesting about them.

Do you know someone named Red?

[wooliefrand]

That is the weird sheep that runs the storefront, yes? I know nothing else of him.

[wants_the_phd]

Okay. How about Daisy? She has a store too, apparently.

[wooliefrand]

I also know nothing of her, but she tried to step on my once.


I will avoid her. [SOUR,,,,]

[wants_the_phd]

[Wow, Daisy. Rude.]

How about the Wolf King? What's he like?

[wooliefrand]

[BRIGHTENS]

He is a kind, wise, benevolent ruler! It was said he once united lands far and wide! To be invited to his court was a blessing and an honor! That. . .changed after Blossom's horrific deed, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a great king, worthy of all our admiration!!

[wants_the_phd]

Wow, he invited you to his court?!

[wooliefrand]

[. . .shrinks back again]

Well, no. . . but. . .my father is apart of his court! And certainly I'll follow in his footsteps, once this wretched pasture is destroyed.

[wants_the_phd]

That's still plenty honorable, though! You must be very proud of your father.

[wooliefrand]

. . .I am.

[an awkward beat of silence. And then suddenly, he's shrinking back to his miniature size]

That is enough questions, sheep.

1/3

[wants_the_phd]

—!

[wants_the_phd]

Oh. Okay.

[visibly disappointed]

[wants_the_phd]

Well, thank you for your time; it's been a pleasure to meet you. And I'd love to talk to you again someday, if you'd be up to it...?

—And if you think of anything you'd like your character to say in the play.

[wooliefrand]

Hmph. Only if my minions deem it necessary. I have no desire to keep feeding you information while you're on her side.

[slithering back into the shadows if Your Name doesn't need anything!]

[debug_mode]

Ah, Great Serpent... I do have bad news.

I don't believe the sheep will care, but it involves another weed. With that weed in another similar old undesirable situation.

[wink wink]

[wooliefrand]

--did another turn??

[debug_mode]

No. At least, not yet.

...But, I'm pretty sure it's all but a foregone conclusion at this point. She's spending a lot of time bonding with Daffodil. To a point it wouldn't surprise me if she got attached to them. Seeing them as genuine friends. And you as... well, not exactly in a good way.

[wants_the_phd]

[She thought she made it clear she wasn't on blossom's side. but whatever.]

[let's this assume this is after the Snake departed]

[debug_mode]

Well. There you are. You've me the Snake. A thing few people manage.

What was your impression?
