Hey everyone, it's me Wolfwood. Nicholas D. Wolfwood if you're new.
So, here's the deal. The church I bought has a problem. It came with a bunch of religious texts inside of it, and while that's...you know. What you'd expect in a church, these ones are like
super fuckin culty.
Not exactly what I asked for. Not that I asked for them at all. I keep trying to get rid of them but they keep showing up again later so
Basically Im gonna be burning them again this evening if anybody wants to come to the bonfire, or help me in getting rid of them cause theres a shit ton. Bring marshmallows or whatever, I dont care.
and before someone comes preaching to me about burning books, again: its cult propaganda bullshit. read it for yourself if you dont believe me
just make sure you chuck it in the fire afterwards or ill do it myself.
Church | Evening
[Should you choose to come to the Church later that evening for whatever reason, you'll find the Priest himself already hard at work setting up a pyre in the yard just outside of it. (Just look for the massive bound cross propped up nearby, you can't miss it.) With the way he loads up the firepit he's created with kindling, it's clear he's already had to do this once before. It's a bit tricky to find anything dry given that the snow is still on the ground in a lot of places, but he's making do with what he's got. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Beyond getting the fire going, there's a matter of getting the aforementioned books out of the church. It's just as Wolfwood described, should you grow curious and crack one open. They're very religious, but strangely...plant focused. Like it's a religion that revolves around the Forest itself, almost. Definitely nothing orthodox about this, that's for sure. There are quite a number of them to take care of as they've all refilled the church pews since the last time he did this.
Or, perhaps you're just here because you think bonfires are cool and want to simply enjoy yourself for a change. The Forest seems to have had its fun with the animal race given that everyone's back to normal at this point, so really, why not kick back and enjoy the warmth of the flames while it isn't sub-zero temperatures outside anymore?
Feel free to mingle...or don't. Perhaps the distant unease in the atmosphere is enough to stop you.]

Josh? Just how many of you have shown up overnight?
[Fun fact Wolfwood only knows Josh as "Yoshiya", he has no idea this is the same person-]
...m'fine, yeah. Takes more than that to get me.
no subject
Cool name, yo, name's Beat. Nice to meetchu! Even wid the guns.
[There's a subtle head tilt in Livios direction. Nose down, top of head pointed in his direction. Pat? Pat for the good boy??? Or maybe shake?? Shake hands???]
Uh... jus' me an' Josh s'far as I know? I ain't seen no one else. An' good. I tried to make sure I ain't get skin.
[Pet??]
no subject
Okay, Beat. We've met. [please get him out of here, actually.]
no subject
That said, Wolfwood is a little surprised by what he's seeing. He's had a dog long enough to know the signs, like...is Beat really asking to be pet right now? What is he, a person or a dog??
...there's a tentative pause before Wolfwood reaches up and out, dropping his hand awkwardly on top of Beat's head.]
Right, uh. Let's just...agree not to do that again.
no subject
Sure, brotha, promise I won't be a dick no more.
[No more talking, pet him god damnit, his tail trying to detach itself. Please. Please pet. His voice is very "yeah whatever" right now.]
no subject
... he will side-eye from afar, just in case either one of them tries to pull some shit again, though.]
no subject
But oh, okay. If Beat is going to SHOVE his head into his hand, Wolfwood will just...scratch...he's scratching his ears...how did we get to this point.]
...so you really are a dog, huh?
no subject
Ye like... I dunno.... 95% is all dog now. Or somethin'. Whatchu gonna do if the books come back?
[IF Wolfwood tries to stop, Beat will just follow his fingers with his head. Scoot closer. Then just. Dog suddenly. There is this better? There is now just a dog there. Guy gone, all dog now.]
no subject
[He's running out of ideas quickly, here.
...he will continue to scratch Beat's ears though, even if it's a little bit strange. He's not really spoken to any of the animals here yet, sooo...this is a new one, for sure.]
no subject
[Which comes out kinda hard to say with a tongue half out of his mouth and his foot scratching in midair cause WW got a good spot.]
Stuff grows good wid paper an' shit. Mushrooms. Right there dude.
[Beat tries to spear his brain with a finger yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]
no subject
Mostly to keep his balance, but hey.]
And whose to say those plants wouldn't grow up evil, or some shit? Evil plants is kinda the Forest's MO.
no subject
[God yeah brain scratches are the best scratches fuck yeah .... why does his shoulder hurt oh right he shifted with a damn bullet still in it ow. He will stop leaning now to chew on his shoulder again give him a moment.]
no subject
...Rice? Otto?
no subject
[HE GOT IT. HAPPY DOG AS HE PRESENTS WOLFWOOD WITH HIS BULLET BACK HERE HE GOT THIS FOR YOU FROM HIS OWN SHOULDER.
NO TAKE?!?!!? ONLY FOR YOU?!!?]
no subject
...he's so stunned he'll actually like. Awkwardly hold out his hand for it on reflex.]
...Risotto. You're thinkin' of Risotto.
no subject
Except the moment Wolfwood holds his hand out for it, Beat turns his head away, shakes it like he's trying to shake the bullet, and begins to chew on the bullet. But if Wolfwood tries to pull his hand back cause clearly Beat doesn't wanna give the bullet over.... he'll find the bullet spit into his hand.
Sorry.]
S'what I said!!
[Throw the bullet, please??]
no subject
You didn't have to give this back, yaknow. Ain't like I can use it.
no subject
[The dog just stands there, staring up at Wolfwood, tail wagging.
Beat has long forgotten why he came here in the first place.]
no subject
...do you. Want me to like...throw a stick for you, or? What is happening here.
and thus wolfwood spent the next 3 hours throwing a stick for beat and trying to sneak away
No, he won't hand it over.
Throw it. But if you try to take it you're gonna spend some time tug-of-war'ing with him. ]
no subject
[And thus wolfwood spend the next 3-]
